Betty is Back with another Full Cycle Video the '49 ABC-O-Matic

[DADoES]

Oh, if only to have a machine with an overflow rinse. I watch my Maytag start spinning and pumping out…. And I watch all of that scum just settle right in to what used to be my clean laundry. Sigh. Everything degrades.

That's odd. I heard that spin-drain prevents lint/scum problems. ???

Robert, thank you for putting together yet another creative and informative video. Even my husband enjoyed it even though he isn't into vintage appliances!

What an exceptional job...that was a TON of work and it absolutely paid-off. There were a couple of times in the video I completely forgot it was AI and lapsed into thinking it was a period announcer reading from a script.

Maybe, to some degree? But I’m not sure how any machine that does not overflow rinse could prevent the stuff floating on the rinse water from settling on to the laundry as the water is drained.

I also have a Whirlpool from the same year- 1984- and it essentially does the same thing, just without spinning at the same time. Water level drops, and the stuff on the surface settles on to the load.

That's why the spray rinse in the slightly curved pattern starts while everything is sitting in the bottom of the tub with the shmutz resting on it.
