60 YEAR OLD WASHER - Whirlpool Imperial Washer 1963

Uh... we still DO care about our products. Just because some things made in the Americas -- and not only here, but in other continents -- may not last as long doesn't mean they _all_ don't. And some things are built to last _longer_ than comparable things from decades ago.

Beautiful vintage laundry appliance. I love all the classy details, backlighted front panel and chrome trim etc. Thanks for just showing the operation without any narration or unnecessary music. I have the original 1984 Maytag set I selected when my house was built. To date only put a belt on the gas dryer in 2021. Except for normal cleanings, no other repairs ever needed. Starting to hear very slight bearing noise from the motor, but it still spins smoothly. Washer has never had a screw removed. Both look great because I treat them like my cars, no scratches or rust. No plans to ever replace them.

[@bsgarey]

I have my Maytag pair. Not sure the exact year but around 1984. Have repaired the dryer once. Washer several times. Mostly small stuff. Rotton rubber hose, broken lid switch. Stuff like that.

[@midsouthexpress]

Wow I found this and suddenly I'm 4 years old again! My mom had this machine, only a different color, soon after her and dad got married. It washed diapers and cloths for our family of five up into the mid 1980s. Only had to have a water pump and belt replaced. Still worked perfect when they unfortunately got rid of it. IF I could find another like it I would buy it and that darn high efficiency one would be out at the curb with a free sign on it. I hate that thing!!! Thanks for the memories and sounds from happier days!!

Awesome Whirlpool wig-wag washer, built to last! My neighbor just threw out his 5 year old washer because the motherboard died and a new one cost only slightly less than a new machine.

In 2016 I decided to buy a new Hot Point Washer Dryer pair that were on sale. I didn't need to because my GE Profile washer (that worked just like the one you see here, after 20 yrs) was still good. After I saw how these H.E. washers work, I was sorry I got rid of my GE profile. The downside of my H.E. washer is the rinse cycle.. it just sprinkles the clothes.

[@Kardor]

I suppose you're from the US, because y'all use those top loaded washers there. Here in the Europe we use automatic ones and they have the same problem. New ones require messing with buttons and knobs to set a program, while old ones just use some switches and one dial. My 1988 USSR washer is a thing I would never replace, because I see how new machines just don't know how to wash :) It takes over 100 litres of water for one washing cycle :)

[@s.linn5086]

@@LoveLee-jz1tj Incorrect. *DETERGENT* cleans. Water only moves the detergent through the fibers. If you're dead-set on using a terrible, inefficient, self-damaging design of washer that all *actually developed* countries abandoned decades or even half a century ago, then "lots and lots of water" is needed to move the clothes around and prevent damage to the machine. The solution of course, is to tumble the clothes in a concentrated detergent solution with just enough water to saturate everything... but American manufacturers couldn't figure out how to do that without copying (WhirlPoop) or just going bankrupt trying (MayFail).

[@salmonella4u]

Machines, of almost any type, make, model, for whatever purpose that were made in the USA, were of great workmanship, quality, reliability, durability, and were not expensive. There were so many good brands back in the day. As for washing machines, Whirlpool, Maytag, and even Sears Kenmore, were some of the top choices. Some people would scoff at Sears products, but they actually had very good appliances, tools, power tools and even power equipment(which was made for them). If I remember, Bradford or Bradley was the one who made their garden tractors way, way back in the day. Those things were heavy duty. Don't forget when Kitchen Aid was a good blender/mixer. Singer had rock solid sewing machines for a time. I have my grandmother's antique Singer that folded into a wood desk type table. The machine was beautiful and flawless in appearance, at least until someone stuck in a garage for a while and the elements started getting to it. Remember when Harley's and Indian were THE motorcycles. Schwinn was the bicycle. America also had many piano companies that built high quality pianos back in the day. Ludwig's were the drums. On and On. Now, everything is made in china or elsewhere. All the chinese products are high teck, but low quality and durability. Everything is plastic these days.

[@TenaB-j2l]

Back in the day Sears Kenmore branded washers and dryers were made by either Speed Queen or Maytag and definitely work horses.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

​@@TenaB-j2lSears Kenmore washers and dryers were made by Whirlpool. And I think Sears owned Whirlpool.

[@Bob-ml1mv]

My mom had the Sears lady Kenmore back when I was a kid. That machine lasted for many years. Than we bought the whirlpool machine back in 1983. My dad owned a lot of the power tools from Sears and also would buy his tires for his car there too.

[@salmonella4u]

@@Bob-ml1mv it's funny, that we used to laugh at all things Sears back then. We couldn't take their products seriously. Boy, was I wrong with my thinking. We used to make fun of their outdoor power equipment, being that my family owned a power equipment business. But the homeowner grade stuff that manufacturers put out there now (should I say, slap their logos on), is total garbage. the lawn tractors and mowers are basically all made by the same company. The manufacturers found, that slapping their logo on a piece of crap that they didn't even make, is somehow more profitable for them than making their own. AYP (American Yard Products) is the main company who makes the junk. MTD is another.

[@ericknoblauch9195]

You are not going green when you have to buy another washing machine in five years. The old machine has to be recycled. A old washing machine built to last used to last 15 to 20 years. The machine built to last 15 to 20 years does not require raw materials used in the manufacturing process.

[@jkeelsnc]

Yep. And the thing is it uses a lot more materials and a lot more energy to make new machines to replace the crap that fails after 5 to 10 years. Of course, there is Soeed Queen which is excellent. However, you will pay dearly for it.

Splines on the agitator are getting worn. The knocking you hear is from that, I would try to find another agitator that is identical to the one now working. P. S. I noticed that the longer the machine runs the quieter the knock goes away, this indicates a slight decrease in transmission gear oil of 80 weight. It has a small hole on the top of the transmission and can be reached with a snorkel to add a little oil, not much though. Hope this helps you.
