There's a late 1970s Frigidaire washer with a window in the lid for sale on eBay. This window has some metallic grids that resemble the defrost elements in the rear view windshield of a car.
My question is what are they for? And in fact, why have window in the lid? To check rollover?

several dozen rollermatics working at our college in the mid-70s. They were pretty much at the end of their lives - college students are rough on machines and quality was not what it had once been. Nothing, compared however, to the shit WCI was about to throw on what had once been a proud mark of excellence.

There are glass portholes in front loading washer doors and some dryers. To allow those wishing to observe....
Front loading washers don't need glass portholes, neither do dryers, but yet you find them on most commercial and domestic units. Glass portholes allow one to peek and check how things are going without having to open the lid of a top loader. How could anyone not want to watch this? |

if you ever herd one, you want to see it in action too.they are just awesome machines.i think GM knew this & it was a easy way to make a couple extra bucks at very little cost. PS. as stated above the grid was just for looks(but it looks cool)
