hello to all just found a screenshot of a kenmore direct drive that seem to be a sud return washer base on the model number i have never seen this model

Wait, you can save the rinse water? A dream come true.

I've always thought saving the rinse water made much more sense than saving the wash water.

wish there was a pic of the whole washer

My guess is it would look similar to this washer:






Most likely the second rinse switch and second rinse allotments were converted into suds options and suds return increments.

I worked on plenty of these back in the day. There was a large solenoid-operated valve in the lower left rear that handled the diversion.
