I haven't tried these features yet but according to what remains of the timer chart, there's a water change after the soak (pause in the chart) but no spin.
More fake wood!

Wonderful timer chart! Love the details of the several cycles.
Super Wash
Wow, they didn't change this much from the 60s into the 70s! On the '66 Inglis Sterling washer the super wash lets you choose up to 6 minutes of pre wash, then the washer will pause for about 2 minutes (a kind of pre-soak), drains about halfway, then advance to the regular wash cycle and fills up to the level of water selected, and uses the maximum wash time.
Mystery solved about those holes at the rear of the dryer drum too!
They really do look nice, Phil!! Say, could the set that we found for Julie last July be the same set, minus the wood paneling?? I remember seeing the lenses for console lights, but the tubes were burnt out...

Paul, the set we got for Julie was newer, I think from the late seventies. The 1974 models had the fluorescent lights on the top of te console and no more backlit dials. (but the washers finally got 3 speeds and the dryers got a dryness sensor.
And Julie's set is still newer than that. Her washer is a two speed (the 3 speed motors weren't offered for a long time on Inglis washers in the 1970's!). Strangely, they were featured on some 1960's Royal models. And much later on the Direct Drive models too.
Also, I'm wondering what made my model a "Royal 100"? Was it the wood paneling? The 1974 brochure on the Automatice section shows the "Royal" as the top of the line model for that year. Back in the eighties/nineties, there were Royal 100 models again.
Are there any Inglis fans with more information and brochures here?[this post was last edited: 11/21/2014-07:39]

The motor of the washer is quite noisy. It's worse on the low speed and it vibrates. Is there anything I can do about that? The rubber grommets seem to be OK but I haven't removed them for further inspection. When I press on the motor or when I try to turn the motor in either direction (I mean turning the motor itself by hand just to change the pressure on the rubber grommets) while it's running, the noise level lowers a bit but it remains high, I'd think if the grommets were the issue, the noise would be lower at some point...
There's a date at the back of the cabinet, I'm wondering if it's something written at the factory? The date is written with the day first as we do in French. I doubt that they did that at the factory in Ontario as I assume they would have written the month first? Maybe it's the installation date?

Here's a small video showing the motor noise...

thats loud ! Something is wrong or worn.
Next test for me would be belts off.

Good idea Jon!
But I'm sure the noise is coming from the motor. It vibrates a lot and even more on low speed...

Slow and stedy wins the race i am positive you will have this inglis washer running like a brand new machine in no time
Not to worry, Phil, I have a bunch of two-speed Inglis/Whirlpool motors if you wind up needing a replacement.
That sounds like my grandmother's 1970 KM 70. She had the machines in a small building behind the house, it could be heard some distance away.
This is where the Quiet-Pak motor mount and skinny belt comes into play!

Skinny belt...
That's what I have in the machine! But my 1965 inglis with the large belt is MUCH quieter!

The last couple TOL Whirly models on the US market with Quiet-Pak had the different motor mounts but standard belt.

)I'm definitely no expert....
but I'd start with the same idea - try running the motor sans belt. Is the noise the same in spin and agitate?
Also, try turning the belt by hand in agitate mode, it should be fairly easy to do without a lot of resistance. If it seems really stiff there may be some other problem and in that case I'd look at the pump first.
If it checks out OK the motor could need to be lubed which isn't too bad a job. If you take the motor off take a picture of how the brackets are oriented before disassembly to make it easier when you put it back together.
Congrats on these great finds Phil!

Those are certainly drop dead gawgeous machines! And I agree, definitely worthy of sitting in the living room. Great find and good luck with the motor.
