First she's mute, next she can only speak in his voice which is priceless, then finally she speaks.
What a wonderful washer. Love the Hotpoints with the Spiralators. Hey, can an eagle-eyed member see what that the black panel in the middle is--are they controls? What a decked-out panel ! Do we have this machine in the doctrine files? Laundress, how 'bout dem rollovers ';D | ||

Honestly, Westinghouse essentially ended themselves and ruined their own reputation. Westinghouse in their infinite wisdom put the pump on top of the motor, if the pump developed a leak, it would take the motor out with it which is what took these machines out of service. There’s easily more Maytags from the 1960’s in existence than Westinghouse washers of this era, if Maytags from that era are still around, just tells you how terrible Westinghouse was.
Westinghouse and GE may have been in the electricity business, but they clearly had no clue especially in the laundry appliance department. | ||

far more Maytags There was probably at least 30 Maytags for every Westinghouse-at the dump in '82,maytags outnumbered Westinghouse 10:1 and it is still common to find 50+year old maytags-I have 1965 and '75 Maytags in collection :) | ||
