I heard about boiling your wash before and this would probably be as close as one could get to illustrate that without being scolded.My first encounter with a Kelvinator was at a home down the road from my g'mother's house at the Smith's. A strict German family that raised boxers, I was going to the woods and one of their dog's,Princess knocked me over into the mud and started licking me all over.Ms Olga,her owner took the liberty to throw my t shirt full of mudscrapes into her Kelvinator with whites she was already washing.it was summer time and she let me watch through the window lid as the agitator looked like it would never stop.Like the first experience at my Aunt Maggie's house watching the Frigidaire live water action,my eye cotact was locked on watching this cool machine get out the mud in my t shirt.When I went back to my g'mom's,she was wondering how I had mud everywhere but on my shirt.I kept it seceret thinking she'd get ticked off at Ms.Smith for going out of her way.Nana was like that.

a major complaint of people who owned this machine, especially if you had young children around. |

That is probably my favorite machine in your collection. What happened to the panel light? |

I have to ask Does Fred get to play with the prized washers I ask because he knows how to operate vintage vacuums so operating washers would be simple Yup Fred gets to use the washers too. I'm a very lucky guy to have a partner who understands not only that you have to handle these rare machines very gently and carefully but why its important to be careful. Just as I use his rare vacuums in the same gentle manner. |
