yesterday I was watching a video of a 1972 Kenmore top load...it was overloaded. I increased the video to 5x to watch and it rolled the load over really well, even though, like I said, it was overloaded... You really need to watch all these washer videos in FAST speed to be able to see the rollover if it's more of a slow overloaded rollover...as opposed to a normal load that rolls over in real time.
What struck me while watching was this: The rinse filled to the top, started agitating, but was so freaking SHORT! It was just about to start rolling over a part that stayed on the top when, BAM, it started to drain... the rinses were not long enough... Why were the rinses so short? If only the rinse would have been maybe 5 min's longer it would have been so much better. It did do spray rinses during spins, but still.
I'm thinking back to the top loaders I grew up with and the rinses were NOT very long at all... I never even thought about this until I just saw that video.
