Nice looking as well. They were very well made, but some did require servicing because families were larger then still, and overloading could be hard on their belts, clutches, motors and spin tubes. Little items too, like the occasional mix valve, timer, and solenoids. | ||

Over Loading A Belt Drive WP or KM Washer The ONLY thing overloading these sturdy washers could is cause is a belt failure, overloading had NO effect the motor, clutch, spin tube etc.
Overloading as with most washers actually makes them last LONGER as you are doing less total loads, do bear in mind that the laundry results are better and clothes look better and last longer if you put the correct amount of clothing in the washer. | ||

My Grandmothers's first automatic This was the exact washer my grandmother had--it was the first automatic washer she purchased along with the matching dryer. The bright console light lit up the corner of the basement where the washer and dryer were located. Many memories of doing laundry in that machine when I was a teen. | ||
