Love the "WahhhhhhhhhEEEEEEEEEEEEE" sound the Huebsch/Wascomat FL's make as they shift into spin. The Dexters do it a bit faster, IMHO, and sound a little different--"OOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"; it's a screaming start too that will always catch you off guard and make you jump! The "EEEEEEEOWWWWWWWUMP" sound of the brake is always my favorite, though.

What's also interesting is that while the Huebsch and Dexter machines have door locks, you can open the door on the Wascomats during any part of the cycle including spin; it's never locked. During wash or rinse, it stops tumbling and the drain valve automatically opens, but during spin, the machine shuts off but slowly coasts to a stop instead of braking, which I believe would pose a bit of a safety hazard. Would this be considered normal?

Cool.

The Wascomats I remember had a "tab" (square-ish metal piece) as a door handle/latch and used to have a 30 second delay after power-down to unlock.

Normal is defined as what the majority do.
Does it matter what the majority does?

As lefy-s, Asutin, are we normal? LOL

Then again we all here venerate (to the point of borderline worship) old washers, again I ask are we "normal"?

WHO CARES! IT FEELS GOOD. LOL LOL LOL

Louis was explaining to me that the cylinder of a F/L is very close to the outer tub,and as a result whips up lotsa foam at the bottom near the drain hole/hose duringng the wash.

So the flush while draining is meant primarily to get the suds outta there before the rinding begins.

A spray rinse then, is better suited to a T/L where the agiatator is within the inner "cylinder" (wash-basket) and does not stir up excessive foam/suds!

Live and learn! LOL
