Hi guys
So 5 years ago a freind got rid of her Kenmore DD and bought 2020 Maytag top loader with matching dryer. She was never too crazy about the new Maytag. Anyway..the Maytag shook itself to death or something last week. (I wasn’t there) and she decided she hated it and wanted rid of it and out of her sight! LOL
After spending what she spent on the Maytag, she didn’t want another new style washer..she asked me to find her something older that I’d have a better chance at fixing if ever needed repair. So I went to a used appliance store and got her this. Came with 90 day warranty.
(Close to the model she should have kept)
It looked to be very clean & in good condition for a 25 year old machine.
I hooked it up, ran an empty load with hot water Borax and a little bleach to kinda sanitize. Machine ran great and was very quiet.
I should have run it with the lid open to see everything instead of just listening to it go through its cycles as I don’t think I heard spray rinses?
Other than that she’s been using and says machine performs flawlessly.

Any reason it wouldn’t do spray rinses at the times I was expecting to hear them?
And any idea as to load capacity?

My lady Kenmore from 1986 direct drive had only one spray rinse and that was after the deprance and it was one spray Rance no other spray rinses and it was the same on normal permanent press and delicate. In fact delicate had no spray ounces. Permanent press at the cooldown in the spray Rance after that cool down .
 
In fact the poor rinsing was one of the reasons why I couldn't wait to get rid of it and get a front loader in 2006 and I've had nothing but front loaders ever since. I constantly had the second rinse on the normal cycle always turned on
