    GM Frigidaire up-and-down agitator origins

    AMI Portable Washer IIRC GM got their inspiration for jet action washing machines from portable AMI washer device. Some patents from General Motors for Frigidaire pulsator washers refer to AMI device. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?71993

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    If I say it, I'll get a whippin... I'll say it! *LOL* Very long story short there are only so many things that can be done to improve performance of top loading washing machines with central beaters. There are very good reasons why commercial/industrial laundries went right to H-axis washers...

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    "@launderess- that is interesting to know.

    Maytag Presents: Combination Convenience - 16mm Film

    Don't believe Maytag went out and fetched back every single combo unit then promptly destroyed the things. Though that does seem to be a commonly accepted narrative. Several Maytag combo units have popped up over years. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?76881...
