Every time I see this washer I am bugged by the lack of symmetry between the three push buttons for the wash water temperature selection and the two position back & forth slider-type switch for the rinse water temperature. It looks cheap.

Beautiful, Chris! You'd never know it wasn't supposed to be there.

Chris, that is beautiful, it does look like it came that way from the factory.  Where in the world have you been?  Good to see you posting!!!

Actually, the window looks bigger than the factory made ones. It's pretty amazing that you have the POD. What a cool surprise.

 

Hey Chris, I'd love to know how the Kelvi does its suds-back.

hey terry miss you guys too.. am just here doing the everyday stuff.. that machine is far from perfect so i thought id just do the best i could and have fun. the window is bigger it should be but oh well it was my first ha ha, and the suds pump was really rotten to the point that when i touched it, it fell apart so no suds retrun on this child, the orig motor konked out and so far i have only been able to find a single speed motor from ben that i have rigged in but she runs really well and washes well, and is just fun to play with... hugs

Wow - I totally forgot about the motor fiasco Chris - that takes me back! Your washer is stunning, and is even more beautiful in person.

Greg - thanks for the heads up, funny that we were just talking about the cap a few days ago.

Ben
