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!!!
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
@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.
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")
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
I never knew there were so many many different styles of Washing Machines around until I got this channel last year

Just such an amazing washer. Definitely in class of its own, I love it!
I’m always a bit shocked at how good the rollover on these machines are
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
Great Turnover!!!!

I saw a Nash-Kelvinator once. It was so heavy.
When it stops right there I think its thinking of what to do next lol
Motor pause, seems like forever when watching it.
Still pretty splashy even though it's not the overflow rinse.
One of the splashiest machines ever.

Where do you get these machines there in such good condition
This came from a friend who was kind enough to give me the machine.
Do you think you can do a small load of whites in this machine next?
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
Looks like great, if splashy, washing action with good turnover. It coulda used a faster spin, IIRC.
Can you please do a small load in the unimatic
I will be sure to get one for you.
Is it the same AMC from American Motors Corporation?
absolutely. I also call them the cousin of General Motors Corporation.

Are there still washers made by this brand?
Nope, the design changed to a 'conventional' machine in 1967. AMC sold the division. They got really cheap after that.
Not in YEARS!!!!!!!!!I wish they srill did
Thanks! ;)
