    Kenmore Auto Temp

    Does anyone know the respected temps for when the selector switch is set to auto on this washer?

    Brand new Never used: 1975 Wilkins Servis 506 automatic

    Seems like these timers used 75 second increments? Neat.

    I hope these hiccups are not used as an excuse to implement strict moderation or AI moderation. Such has no place on AW.org.

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Go with a featured direct drive, they are the best. The 3 speed version will have you being grateful every load.

    A public school funded by tax payer's money has one job and that is to teach students. Nowhere does giving out student information without consent fit such a description. I fail to see why someone rightfully disagreeing with a school giving out student information to third parties would be so...

    Wow! That should be illegal if it already isn't. How did you trace it back to the school? Did the school admit to giving out that information?

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Cycling of the pump at the start of drain is normal, it may also stop for a minute or two during or at the end of the spin cycle.

    Pierre, is this the only problem you have with the washer? I thought you mentioned something about the drain pump running after the cycle?

    How? Was it just for military recruitment purposes or did they actually give it to some third party?

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Pierre, its time for a new washer. Even I can't figure out what F0E4 means... First time I am hearing about a spin limited by the water temperature.

    How does the VMW in your experience compare to a Whirlpool direct drive?

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Oh! Lucky you. Looks like a two speed washer. My favorite was the 3 speed motor with the 4, 5 or 6 position selector switch. Your model appears to be an "in between model"- a hybrid of the two speed motor 3 cycle dial (heavy duty, permanent press, delicate) AND a three speed motor 4 combo...

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    I don't believe the model of washer shown in the picture in reply #42 has a control board. However, the timer did run with the lid open. The lid switch would just break the motor's neutral connection. So the motor would stop, me personally thinking the machine was paused and soaking, only to...

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Right, but wye fittings require two separate hot and cold valves that must be manipulated twice. During and after the wash fill. In an automatic washer the wash and rinse temperature should be capable of being automatically set per the cycle and fabric required. This should be the norm for top...

    I believe a featured vintage direct drive is the best choice. Warm rinse has the benefit in that it relaxes the garment fibers leading to better detergent extraction.

    A stark comparison to the Galaxys of today which have perhaps the lowest level of user control- :cry:

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    Nahh, thats not being automatic. And, the constant disconnecting, reconnecting, rigging, ect sets you up for leaks, stripped connections, ect. Once upon a time even BOL Galaxys offered a warm fill by default without ATC dilution. You could close the cold valve for a hot fill, you could wye...

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    Whoa! Impressively clean and uncomplicated looking inside. That looks like a motor, a drain solenoid, a spin shit solenoid, two water valves and a heater. Does anyone have the wiring diagram and timer contact chart for this machine? I like what I'm seeing including the fast cycle.

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    I wish it was my current machine. I am still using my Speed Queen but I changed the water valves a few weeks ago. What a difference! May I advise you doing the same? 358277 is the magic number. https://automaticwasher.org/threads/new-old-stock-358277-water-valve.98246/ Do you have control...
