I just love the Jet-Circle Fill on that too! That Flex-A-Wash mechanism with the helical drive would really create great washing. I bet the Rapidry spin is really something to see. Buh Bye bubbles!

The more I look at that dial, especially with the backlight on, the more it reminds me of an old radio. The sound might be less woo-woo-woo and more doo-wop!

I thought that same exact thing David! It looks just like an old radio. How cool!

The neutral drain was accomplished by having Smitty make a stainless steel flange to mount where the sediment tube attached the the aluminum tub support of the Kelvinator. To the flange I attached a radio controlled drain valve from a new WP built electronically controlled ice machine. The valve has a lithium-ion battery that will eventually have to be recharged, but I think Jason will tire of the whole thing and convert it back to a real KM BD washer again before the battery ever runs down.

I forgot to add when the drain valve opens all you hear is water draining into the outer tub, this takes less than one minute. Then after the customary two minute drain the main motor starts the spin and water pump out from the large outer tub. I do not think they could ever have sold a washer that worked this way as it really sounds like it is just letting loose and the sound of all that water poring into the outer tub just doesn't sound right.

Oh what mess. Did that once in my Bosche. It kept adding water and spining. It took forever. It went on and on. I kept looking at the drain pipe behind the washer expecting to see an overflow, but not. My good fortune! That's when I switched to an he formula.

Kenmore had some console designs that were very different from their Whirlpool siblings.
Wow
