Hi Sean, if you watch the very beginning of the episode you can see all machines I now have in my collection. The only Maytag I have is the very first AMP as I gave away the 806 set about 8 years ago to another collector.

I have no idea because it's never once suds-locked, even with suds completely covering the entire agitator. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Yes it sure does drop back into the start winding, just like a Unimatic does. There is no clutch in the first two years of production of the Plus-Capacity designs that is why there is such a careful Extract cycle sequence to prevent any chance of suds-locking. Those aren't pulses, it's just...

Betty and Gladys are back along with Washerman and special guest star Uncle Arthur for a complete demonstration and full regular cycle video of my '65 Plus-Capacity Wards washer. Bob/Appnut I thought of you when making this one :giggle:

Beautiful restoration job Tyler! Just goes to show that almost anything can be brought back to life with time, patience and creativity. Congratulations, this is one of the more rare Kenmore automatics, it is so great that you have one now! Now the big question is will the 1961 all push button...

These videos showing assembly are really super cool Cory, thank you again! I noticed the Hotel Maytag in downtown Newton, never knew about that either!

Okay here's another dishwashing treat the 1965 Consumer Reports Dishwasher issue. SCANDELOUS as you won't believe which machine in 1965 took the #1 SPOT! CU Nov 1965

That’s the key, John real life uses mixed loads. I had both the KD-12 KitchenAid and the 1953 Hotpoint installed in the kitchen at the same time for over two years and found the KitchenAid had fewer rejects (where something didn’t come clean). The KA was better with pots and pans. The Hotpoint...

I'd have to listen to 60hz vs 50hz on the same machine in two different countries to make up my mind. A 50hz motor on 60hz North American power probably sounds different than it would on 50hz mains in Europe.

Here is the November 1952 issue of Consumer Reports, which was the first time they ever reported on dishwashers. Interesting who they rated number one, and as usual, I disagree with their top spot. Nonetheless, it’s fascinating to see their findings when automatic dishwashers were brand new. In...

For old time sake, here you go! I also love the fact that you were using a 1958 Unimatic all the way through 1996! Shows the long-term durability of these machines if they are properly taken care of.

I don’t see this as “immoral” in any way—if I did, I simply wouldn’t do it. To me, it’s a way of honoring their legacy, since these are characters we all truly love. And it’s important to remember: these are voices of fictional TV characters, not real people. At the end of the video, Washerman...

I understand that some people may feel uneasy about AI-generated voices and videos. However, if you look at the comments on those YouTube videos where I’ve set the tone with these vintage voices, the overwhelming majority are really enjoying what I’m creating. This is the direction creativity is...

Hi Mark, I guess the first thing I would do, if you have an electrical multimeter, is check to see if there is continuity (zero ohms) between the burned point and the other three points that it connects to.

Oh yes it is on my list of upcoming videos to work on over the next year. Just have to schedule a time when Betty and friends are all free! ;)

and I saved 20 cents too!

Thanks Cory, another great video!!! lol this is my favorite part of that video 🤣...

Actually the machine uses just under 30 gallons per load total even with the neutral overflow, just about 1 gallon more than a Unimatic (28.5 gallons) so compared to other machines of the same time it's not really using any more water. In 1950 a GE AW6 uses 34 gallons, the Whirlpool used 36...

Yes the pump runs in either direction so as long as the motor is running it is pumping out water. It's about 6 gallons used during the overflow. The water valve has a flow washer regulated to only fill 2.4 gallons a minute.

Thanks Dan. Yes with the early clutch design it did that. When they changed the clutch and put it on the motor around 1953 it prevented the agitator from doing that during spin start up.
