Whirlpool Resource Saver Washer
Hi Jamie, Glad you got this washer and put in back into use, as many of you remember we were big fans of this machine back when it was introduced and our company sold over 100 of these cool efficient washers. And customers loved this washer, many still have them and are still having us repair them, I just put a rebuilt transmission, clutch and water pump in one a week ago.
One of the cool things about the rinsing is the washer uses more or less water for each fill according the the amount of clothing in the tub, if you have say just two shirts in there it will only fill for about 5 seconds each time and a huge load of towels will fill for more than 20 seconds each time. The machine does need to use the fast spin speed however because this not only improves the final water extraction, but also increases the rinsing performance by spinning more of the soapy water out through out the spin-rinsing process.
This washer would [ like most DD washers with a few miles on them ] do neutral drains if you were using the fast agitation speed, as it warms up the transmission better. And while the big KA agitator is cool the orignal WP agitator really does a better job cleaning in this washer.
These washers were splashy during the rinse cycle, there was a splash guard attached to the top and a splash guard attached to the edge of the outer cover, and some foam barriers inside of the cabinet to stop spray and splatter from leaking on the floor, be sure all these barriers are in place. We never had a leak complaint on one of these washers [ we did see a lot of badly rusted washer tops however ]and also replaced a lot of rusted tops, WP should have used a porcelain enameled top on this model.
We have one of these washers now in our warehouse in good condition if someone wants one.
