I had neighbors with a c.1969 model that continued agitating with the lid open. When did they start making those with lid switches that stopped agitating?

GM Frigidaire 1-18 cool down What are those GM-era Frigidaires' permanent press cool-down process like? They spun on low speed even with the speed switch on normal, correct?

For Kenmore washers, Enzyme Soak cycle was renamed Pre-Soak in 1971. They were originally up to 30 minutes until 1974 when they reduced them to 22 minutes. As for Permanent Press of today, the top-loaders mostly just have high agitation and low spin speeds without any cool-down, as that is...

I had neighbors in the 70's with a c.1969 GE washer that continued agitating with the lid open. Any idea when the open lids first stopped agitation?

Post #751529 Your photo of the second part of the panel is the same as the first.

I had a similar model to this from 1979 with a dual-action agitator, and the Pre-Wash cycle used high agitation instead of low like this 1976 model. Anyone know what year exactly they changed the speeds, and did that also apply to Pre-Soak? It doesn't give details on the Permanent Press cool...

Which cycle has the extra low agitation, Knitted Fabrics or Delicates-Washable Woolens?

When the temperature indicator reached SANI-, how much longer did the rinse last before draining?

Here is a fun 1958 film presented by Whirlpool Corporation!

Versions of Kenmore cool-down sequence at each timer notch. First version (c.1958) - First notch: drain (high speed or low?), fill (no agitation), repeat drain and fill until next notch. Second notch: Pause. Second version (c.1964) - First notch: low speed drain, simultaneous fill and low...

By 1976, when Kenmore first unveiled the black paneled washers with the wood grain top, along with the dual-action agitator, they changed their cool down process to this shown on the link. High speed drain for about 45 seconds, pause for the remainder of the timer notch, cold water fill at...

GM Frigidaires cool-down process Pretty self-explanitory. How did that process work on those washers?

1976-78 Kenmore Model 70 I see how the DELICATE label is in smaller beige font on the 6-minute increment of the KNIT cycle. Must have been the following year when the DELICATE cycle label was modified as the same size as the KNIT label. BTW, when did Kenmores first have rubber knobs?

It was in 1981 when the Normal cycle was renamed Cotton/Sturdy, and the font was more condensed. Would anyone know the name of that font?

Free Trial... A bit of correction, the free trial is actually good for two weeks, otherwise you'll be charged $19.95.

This is from no earlier than 1981, which was the year Kenmore changed the "Normal" cycle to "Cotton/Sturdy".

This is the exact model I had in the SF Bay Area (Dublin) in the late 70s, which was a coppertone. Before that in Concord, we had a harvest gold portable, possibly the same model number. I believe 1975 was the year the Roto-Rack era ended, and was replaced with the triple rotating spray arms...

Kenmore Soak Selector Hence, the selector switch options read SOAK & WASH or SOAK ONLY. Not all Kenmores with pre-soak had this swtich. I believe it was c.1974 when the Pre-Soak cycle was cropped from 30 to 22 minutes. Originally, the agitation speed was low, and spin speed was high. Those...
