Question about Easy Spindriers

[Dick_S.]

I then ran a second load....

.....of towels which I treated the same way when it was time to put them in the spindrier.

When I took them off the line this evening, I detected a bit of stiffness in the towels. Now whether that is just me still entertaining some doubts about this new way of rinsing or whether this is so,,,,,,,,,,,,,I don't know.

Tomorrow morning I am washing identical loads and will put them thru a deep rinse and see how they feel when I get them off the line.

Any one have a thought or two about this? Maybe it's me and getting used to this new way of rinsing.

BTW, the machine is running super but I can't get the drain faucet over to squirt into the filter like mickeyd can AND I don't want to force the faucet arm.

Oh Dick, you've got to rinse longer than 90 seconds

And you can put the whole load into the spinner. Rinse for 3-5 minutes, until the outgoing water is clear. Or use the method suggested by the manual which I excerpted up in reply #7.

 

Try a little 3 in 1 oil around the base of the drain facet base. These faucets are made to swing inward with or without a filter.

John said his faucet swings all the way in also

Excited, I put pix in new thread.

Hi Dick. Looks like a beautiful machine and with a link filter too. Someday when I visit Palm Springs, I would love to see it.

Have been trying mickeyd's

suggestions and I do believe I'm becoming more comfortable with the spin rinses. I take the clothes off the line and they seem soft with no soap residue. This is a big thing for me as all I have ever been used to has been one gigantic deep rinse.

I am not tho' getting the drain faucet to angle over the filter as yet, but will keep trying.

And yes Ross, look forward to seeing you on your next visit my way. And you will see a big difference from what you saw last time you were here.

Thanks, Dick

You really can't go wrong if you rinse till the draining water runs clear. Depending on the temp you're using and the soap and the load, etc, the rinse time can vary. But your ninety second rinse that was too short got me thinking about how long a low-sudsing HE detergent would take to rinse clear. I'm going to try it soon.

 

Check out Kevin's thread about bringing an old girl back, etc., Thread # 37052. It's about a new member's Easy, a model made before the faucets were developed into which the water somehow enters the spinner from the bottom, then shoots up. A rare model; in fact, no one has one except Pete.

 

PS: Did you try a little 3 in 1 or spray a little WD 40 around the neck where the faucet goes below the chrome plate?

Rinsing

Hey Dick

I have found if I washing towels etc in my Servis twin tub when all the washing and rinsing is finished I refill the wash tub with hot tap water and rinse them again in that for a few minutes then just spin really well have noticed that a lot of suds come out in warm water and towels are a lot softer as I don't use fabric softener.

Maybe it will help who knows but worth a shot !

Ps hows the house coming along?

Mickey,
I finally got around to reading the operating manual for my "pre-faucet" Easy. It does not have a perforated rinse cone in the spinner, and rinse water does not enter from below. Water is added manually from above via the supply hose to saturate the clothes prior and during the rinse/spin.
