Whirlpool with big square light up thingies

[yogitunes]

My 66 Whirlpool with W-N-W cooled down 6 times, yes 6, it would fill and drain continuously, no agitation, then on to a slow spin and rinse, and final spin, after that I used Normal from then on......too much water

My 84 Supreme PermPress was better, at least the agitations were all high speed, all the way thru, no step-down, the spins were slow......

The Kenmore Limited 3 speed gave me the option for all high spins of the cycle....

I just never seen any improvement of using the PP cycle, of all the cycles there are, I always just seem to use Normal, and toss in the dryer for a few minutes to release any wrinkles

of any given machine, the 2 options I always looked for was a longer wash and final spin time

"odd" sink

I have the same sink in white I bought new in 1995, there is no drawer a the bottom, it's a door that tips out & there is a half shelf underneath, I cut a shelf to fit around my plumbing so I have more storage. Has built in connections at the back for suds saver washer which I don't have, before my Frig 1-18 spins & before the spay rince, I put in the plastic standpipe in the drain to catich the wash water, after all the water is pumped out, I put the drain hose in the standpipe to get rid of the rince water. When the cycle is done, I put the water back in with a bucket & wash colored clothes. If necesssary, I save that water to wash rags or rugs. By the way, the 1-18 dos a wonderful job & fairly good size throw rugs, you wouldn't think so but good turn over.

W&W

Hey John, that is the same W&W cycle as my 59 800 Kenmore. I misunderstood your original post to mean that this did something no other cycle did. No I want to hook that baby up and wash some dress shirts! It is interesting how whirlpool/kenmore adapted the W&W cycle. Also, when and why did they move from W&W to P-Press?

Have you tried to get the 1-18 to siphon the water back in?

Throw a bucket of water in the machine, set it to spin for a few seconds, then stop it, and a suction should start as long as the hose is submerged. Works on some machines, don't know about the 1-18. Worth a try. Let me/us know.

W&W

When Kenmores stopped agitating and continued filling, it was because the timer moved to the next notch. When full it resumes low agitation, then repeats the process. When Kenmore introduced the black-paneled washers c.1976, they changed the cool-down procedure with a high-speed drain for about 45 seconds, then pause. When timer moved to the next notch cold-water filling started, then agitated on high-speed instead of low when full, and still used low-speed spin.

WnW CYCLE NAME CHANGE

Don Sears made a big deal about about all the PERMA_PRESS clothing the were selling and it just became appropriate to name the washer cycle to match would be my best guess.It happened some time in the mid to late 1960s I sure some one here knows exactly when .
