Well, our 1964 dispensomate didn't do that, nor did the late 1963 moneky wards. Ours did a complete neutral drain for the first minute of extract. then the timer moved and if the water level pressure switch hadn't reseet itself, the timer turn itself off until the switch had reset itself, wihich was pretty much almost to the point of inner tub totally empty. Then once the switch reset itself, the timer turned on agaibn. At about the 40 second point in that increment, the machine would start to spin for about 15 seconds, then the spin solenoid would disengage and the tub start to coast. then the next timer increment had water entering for that minute as tub coasted. It was a combination suds kill and cool down. Another timer increment with just machine pumping after water turned off. Then it went into a 2 minute spin and then started the coasst down for rinse as the water was entering. After that increment, the brake made it's "clank" and rinse fill continued. Jon, did the tub start slowly spinning while full of water right at the beginning of the extract? I have 2 scenarios. First, this slightly modified series was introduced in the 1965 machines. There was a huge pull on the whole machine when it would start spinning like ours did. The solenoid kicked in and the motor practically went to a deal half. Think Unimatic spin start and that's what it was like. Lights always dimmed slightly in the house at that point. There may have been so many failures and repair problems this modified sequence was implemented. The 2nd scenario is that the washer doesn't have the original transmission and such and when it was replaced, it was replaced with this modified one. Ours used to slosh around a bit like that too everyonce in a while, but I normall had it so full, it didn't have a chance to do that, except when rugs were being washed.
