"Delicate/Knitted Fabrics" and "Washable Woolens For "piano keyboard" Kenmores with three speeds, the two above cycle buttons had slow agitation for the former (upper row) and extra slow agitation for the latter (lower row), both with alternating agitation and soaking. For those with only two...

Spin Spray I was referring to the coin-op Maytag I just mentioned. Pardon if it's off-subject.

Maytag Delicate Cycle's Short Wash & Soak That's what it does on the coin-op Maytag top-loader at my apartment complex. On a side note, the spray rinse during the first spin is a full minute on Permanent Press (as the cool-down), and a half minute on all other cycles.

Since that's a one-speed washer with a Delicate cycle selection, how does that work compared to a two-speed model?

Indicator lights Do all the cycle phase indicators light simultaneously before the cycle begins?

Late 1986 That was when they first had the rubber knobs and dials.

Enzyme Soak For the historic record, "Enzyme Soak" was renamed "Pre-Soak" in 1971. For washers with Pre-Soak and Pre-Wash, the agitation speed for the latter cycle was low, but for those with Pre-Wash and without Pre-Soak, they used high agitation. Did black console washers (1976-c.1997) use...

Filter pan a must? So you couldn't use a Dispensall without the filter pan?

Which agitator does the washer have? I had one with those exact same settings of cycles, water levels and temperatures with the dual-action agitator, and it was 'Almond' colored.

You have my dearest heartfelt sympathy! :(

According to the underlid cycle charts on the "piano keyboard" Lady K's, the delicate cycle button on the upper row had regular slow agitation, while the one on the lower row had extra slow agitation, both with brief soak periods. This continued until this model was discontinued c.1975. Over the...

Custom Care selection / Extra Slow agitation What did the 'Custom Care' selection do on those "piano keyboard" KM's, and which of the two Delicate-related selections had the extra slow agitation?

Fabric Cycle Panel A childhood friend of mine had this particular model. His mother usually washed in "Delicate Fabrics" or "Washable Woolens" (last two on the panel). I'd like to see close-ups of the multi-colored fabric panel, dial, and lid instructions and cycle chart.

That place is absolute paradise! :)

Automatic Temperature Setting When the temperature it set on automatic, what were the wash/rinse temperatures on Knit, Delicate, Pre-Soak, and Pre-Wash? Also, was the agitation speed on Pre-Soak and Pre-Wash high or low?

Youtube says this video is a duplicate of a previous one.

That photo was taken in Los Angeles c.1974 during John's so-called "Lost Weekend" separation from Yoko, one of the most turbulent times of his life!

I had a childhood friend of mine have this washer! Been wanting to see that multi-colored cycle option display! Could you possibly make a more focused close-up photo of the console and dial?
