Washer seems to be a Norge, but the dryer looks suspiciously (sp) like a Whirlpool?????? Do my eyes deceive me? That indentation in the lower front of the cabinet and top mounted lint filter screams Whirlpool!!!!!!! And check out those SALE prices. I'll take a few of each!

That Wizard looks *very* similar to the one my father's aunt had (her brother worked for Western Auto) . . but it was a BOL model -- 1 speed, temps on the timer, and no water level selection.

No Norge washer here, its 100% Franklin, the dryer is a Franklin design too.

Mystery Solved!

I always wondered it Western Auto sold anything other washers under the Wizard nameplate. (I only recall Consumer Reports testing -- and hating -- Wizard washers.) Today's POD finally reveals that they also sold dryers and dishwashers under the Wizard name.

Who made the dishwasher?

Dryer WP similarities

I've seen a very similar (older) dryer of this design and Bruce in Tulsa had the match to the "Pig" washer on the DVD. I thought it was very close to a Whirlpool/Kenmore design - even the heater box on one side of the drum and fan/filter on the other. The filter was a mesh bag on a frame that pulled out of the door on top.
