The machine in the Picture Of The Day is from about 1959 or 1960. The only features the TOL Maytag’s had around this time were 3 water levels, 3 temperatures (some even had an automatic switch on top of the console) and 2 speeds. As for the dryer, there was regular drying temperature which was somewhere between 130F to 140F, wash n wear which I believe was 160F to 160F, and air fluff. Dryer only had a timer that went up to 100 minutes of drying time.
Kevin at one time had a turquoise version of the set in the POD but I believe it went to another collector.

I've got the washer but not the dryer. Mine is paired with a slightly newer Highlander dryer (1964 vintage) | ||

"If the wash and wear was synthetics why was the dryer temp higher than regular?"
Contrary to popular belief man made fibers such as polyester, nylon etc.. or blends can be laundered in very warm to hot water(about 120F to 140F. Besides giving better cleaning (synenttic fibers tend to hold onto oil bases soils), the warmth causes creases and wrinkles to fall out and fabric to return to what it was. What you don't want to do is crush, spin, crease or otherwise press into such fabrics while still hot or very warm, this will cause creasing that may or may not be reversible. Same with drying; you can use heat which will cause wrinkles and creases to come out of "wash and wear" fabrics, but there must be an extended and gradual cool down for same reasons given above. Because synthetic fibers largely are hydrophobic (repel water) gentle and short spin is more than adequate. Long and or too fast extraction can cause creases and wrinkles. | ||
