"Curiosity once killed a cat..." I used the W-N-W cycle today with a load of rags. Sequence is: Wash - normal speed, drain 30 sec. - slow speed, fill, drain - slow speed, fill, drain - normal speed, slow spin & sprays, then into rinse. There was no agitation during cool-down fills, just fill and then right back into drain. Seems like the only things that would get cooled down are the inlet flume and top edge of the spin basket. Just as I suspected, waste of time and water!

Yep, that's the OLD sequence combination. Well, maybe next to the oldest. I think the OLDEST would have a shift to gentle agitation last 4-6 mins. of wash, do the above sequence combination, and rinse on gentle.

Kenmore Model 70
This was my parents first automatic washer which was purchased in 1963. It washed the clothes well. However, either it was a lemon or a piece of junk. In five years time three water pumps, a timer control and a motor were replaced. My father was a mechanic who worked for GM and was able to do the repairs. However, he got tired of all the repairs and replaced the machine with a Frigidaire Jet Action Rapid Dry 1000 machine. Since the, our family never purchased a Sears product. My grandmother bought the same machine, and it did last a little longer.
