If that fit in a taurus wagon, I wonder what I can carry in my MKX...

Hrm.. Maybe I'll go get some stuff in Eastern Montana I've been eyeing ... :-D

SUDS Saver

So this machine will always engage the diverter valve as if SUDS saving is desired? If not, how does one set it for saving or draining?

Malcolm- Yes it automatically does it.

The machine will drain the wash water automatically thru the suds hose which is the hose that it use to return suds. If you plan on "suds saving" you just have to make sure the drain in the sink is closed so you don't lose the water. When your ready to return your suds back to the machine just set the dial to the suds mark
(6 o'clock position on the dial) and the machine will suck the suds back out of the sink into the machine. The other drain hose on the machine is used for all other drain functions.

Cool Rare Later LKM Washer With Factory Suds-Saver

This machine as several other knowledgeable people have stated appears to be completely stock, the one other cool feature of this washer is that you can save either all the wash water [ up to about 23 gallons I believe ] or only about 14 gallons of the wash water by changing an electrical connection inside the control panel. Sam if you read the foot notes on the rear panels wiring diagram it tells you how to make this adjustment. This was done on some WP built Super capacity washers because most laundry sinks would only hold 18-20 gallons of water and trying to save it all would result in an overflow and FLOOD.

Sam I have several new complete Triple-Dispenser assemblies if you would like to make this feature functional again. You are correct that you do not need to use the det dispenser for normal loads, the reason these washers had the DD was for the automatic soak or per-wash cycles so you did not have to return to the machine to add the main wash detergent.

If this machine is like the older Kenmores, it only does suds save on the "Cotton/Sturdy" cycle (and maybe the delicates cycle). It doesn't do it on the Permanant Press cycle because the cool-down water dilutes the suds.
