Full Cycle- 1960 AMC Kelvinator small load of hand towels

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Tonight, I am running a load of small towels and cloth napkins. Instead of using the 'normal' setting, I chose the small load setting. It actually did quite well and rinsed out nicely. Notice how it doesn't do the Magic Minute or the overflow rinse. Overall, it did quite well and this machine impresses me so much. Hopefully you all enjoy the video and thank you for watching!

I never knew there were so many many different styles of Washing Machines around until I got this channel last year

By 1963 Kelvinator had a lint filter that fit on top of the agitator (you actually had to unscrew the cap on the agitator , drop the lint filter onto the agitator, then screw the cap down into place. It splashed like crazy but it picked up a lot of lint in the filter. Did yours have a buzzer that went off when the washer went off balance and tripped the safety switch, shutting down the machine? My mother's Kelvinator did...

Wow Gso what great turn over!!! Now these were machines that really knew how to wash clothes and wash them well!!! Thanks for the video and have a great night!!!

[@petermaz701]

Just such an amazing washer. Definitely in class of its own, I love it!

[@grandcarriage1]

I’m always a bit shocked at how good the rollover on these machines are

[@grandcarriage1]

Now with patented : splash o-Rama screen!!!!

The agitator kinda reminds of the hats that the 1980s group Devo used to wear except without the fins

[@martinbirdwell7986]

Needs another rinse I can see that water is still dirty and that's the reason the clothes will feel rough and scratchy when dried that's why I always rinse my clothes twice when I wash

Great Turnover!!!! -Charles-

Still pretty splashy even though it's not the overflow rinse.

[@Gsohoover]

One of the splashiest machines ever.

[@FIRESTAR56566]

@David The small load cycle on this machine does not do the magic minute OR the overflow rinse. If it were the overflow rinse there would be a LOT more water.

[@ginocolaianni46]

Looks like great, if splashy, washing action with good turnover. It coulda used a faster spin, IIRC.

[@FIRESTAR56566]

When it stops right there I think its thinking of what to do next lol

[@Gsohoover]

Motor pause, seems like forever when watching it.

[@vcr1268]

Where do you get these machines there in such good condition

[@Gsohoover]

This came from a friend who was kind enough to give me the machine.

[@FIRESTAR56566]

Do you think you can do a small load of whites in this machine next?

[@Gsohoover]

I will be uploading a whites video in the Norge. This machine has a slow drain so I have to fix that before using it again. Thanks for the suggestion

[@sammyboi886]

Can you please do a small load in the unimatic

[@Gsohoover]

I will be sure to get one for you.

Is it the same AMC from American Motors Corporation?

[@CrestwoodRocks]

absolutely. I also call them the cousin of General Motors Corporation.

[@gcfifthgear]

Prior to 1954, the company was known as Nash-Kelvinator Corporation. Kelvinator and Nash merged to get the services of Kelvinator's George Mason, who is credited with introducing the modern car heating and ventilating system ("Weather Eye") in the 1938 Nash, followed by integrated air conditioning in 1954 ("All-Weather Eye")

[@melissadavis6904]

Are there still washers made by this brand?

[@Gsohoover]

Nope, the design changed to a 'conventional' machine in 1967. AMC sold the division. They got really cheap after that.

[@baxterjones2021]

Not in YEARS!!!!!!!!!I wish they srill did

[@melissadavis6904]

Thanks! ;)

[@gcfifthgear]

AMC sold Kelvinator to White Consolidated Industries in 1968, and it essentially became a rebadged White-Westinghouse, and indeed, they were never the same after that

[@martinbirdwell7986]

@@gcfifthgear I thought is was Franklin
