Last one! Robert will have to continue this when he gets back and can bring it inside. Oh, two hose hookups... what the heck is is with suds savers up in Minneapolis? :-)

We Germans, Norwegians, Swedes, etc. are a frugal lot. Suds-savers were bought by people who were used to using wringer washers, and thought nothing of reusing the wash water. My mother and I both own suds-savers, and we still use them. Saves water, detergent, and gas or electricity, depending on what your water heater is. When we bought our Maytag in 1998, it had to be special ordered from the factory, as Maytag was phasing out production of them at the time.

Wow! Nice machine there, and the side of the console even reminds me of the later Kenmore Electronic 90 series DD machines. What year is that machine? In my book it's worth keeping. | ||

Hi Fred, Nice Find
I have a question... I am always leary of picking up machines in the winter as there is always some water in the pumps and solenoid valves. This happened to me last winter when I picked up a machine about an hour away and the solenoid froze and split. Is there a "trick" to moving these as here on the Cape we do not get quite as cold as Minneapolis. We hit the teens but not the sub zero temps like you fellows up there. Thanks, Eddie. And I'm sure that Baby will clean up just fine. | ||

I really do have the best boyfriend in the entire world and thank you so much for helping Gary. I'm down in Florida visiting my dad and I'll have this new toy to play with when I get home. It's a 1966 model with all the bells and whistles. Strange two drain ports??? :-D Eddie I don't usually do much for cold weather moving, just be sure to warm it up before starting the machine. You can easily replace the water valve and pump if they freeze hard but that won't always cause damage. | ||

Fred, you're three for three; one more and it's a gr
What luck you have. If Robert had found you sooner, his whole basement might be full of suds models. With your nice deep tub in the washer testing are, surely you can conduct a suds-return. If you need to be guided thru, by all means just ask. On a serious note: In the old northern cities, during the 1950's, almost everyone's first automatic washer was a "suds." Exceptions, of course, the Frigidaire being the most notable, but even their earliest manuals showed you how to do it the Frigidaire way. Thanks for the treats and all the work even while the Washer Wizard was away. | ||

what a nostalgic looking machine
that lady kenmore is! very interesting control panel. love the big buttons. as far as leaving machines in freezing weather i always disconnect hoses from the drain pump as i just did on 2 washers sitting on my porch right now. i usually try to remove the fill solonoids and bring them in also. i have had them crack myself. love the fact that your washer is a suds savor. when i was a kid we always had a suds savor, from the norge timeline my mom had thru the g.e. and rollermatic my aunt used. now a days people don't even know what it means! progress!!!! is it worth it? anyway, beautiful kenmore, enjoy playing with it, look at it as an early gift from santa under your aluminum christmas tree (that i think is too much fun!) | ||

I have the Gas dryer... ...and a Kenmore 900 washer from that era. The washer was identical except 2 speeds and had the Variflex Agitator. What's with the condom on your agitator. Safe washing? That probably wouldn't be a bad idea if you frequent the commercial laundries. | ||

I don't wanna think about what happened to cause those brown marks on the wall above the dispenser--Gross. RE: the bagged agitator. Was everything under plastic slipcovers upstairs? Or maybe somebody taught safer sex education and kinda snapped. | ||

Greg:
"Those dryers turn up - here's one in the basement now ;-)" No fair comparing your luck with anyone else's! ;-) You know that minty TriStar vac you found a while back for next to nothing? I have one just like it and now it's in similar condition, but my story's a little different - I spent a year tracking down parts and attachments and restoring the thing. | ||
