WP Direct Drive Clunk

Or maybe because of complaints from consumers familiar with belt-drive machines, wondering what's the deal . . .
Where's Leslie Principato, Mr. Whirlpool Answer Man, when we need him to answer why Design 2000 gave way to neutral drain?
Ive never been able to tell what conditions will set my KM off into a spin drain. Using the Handwash feature with extra slow, intermittent agitation will do it on the first spin almost every time. And, if I want it to make a soft clunk rather than a loud bang, I have only to run it on Prewash. Behaves predictably every time.

Do any toploaders use a european-style frontloader method of dispensing fabric softener?
i.e. it's held in a container (in the dispensor drawer in the case of a front loader) then mixed with the fill water during the last rinse ?
It just seems less likely to accidently create stains on your clothes than directly adding it to the drum in concentrated form.

There are timed dispensers on i believe the TOL Kenmore line of TL washers.
I rewmeber seeing the early 24" model WP DD washers with the clothes guard that was similar to GE FF washers.
TOL KitchenAid and WP models also have the timed dispensers.

Fabric softener dispenser action: Top loaders
My 18 year old TOL Kenmore (110 series) has two separate compartments in the front left corner for bleach and fabric softener. Fresh water is flushed through each compartment via a tube at an appropriate time in the cycle. The soap is likewise "flushed out" from compartments on the right front corner. Not a bleach or softener person but the few times I've used them it seemed they leaked. Also, hard to keep clean. Finally, too impatient to wait for the tub to "trickle-fill" as designed so always use the Soak cycle fill which fills the tub in 1/8 the time. Sorry if TMI!

If you use the soak cycle fill for all wash phase fills, how do you get a hot water fill (unless you use pre-wash which I think does allow for hot fill). AT least that's the way on my 1986 DD Lady Kenmore. Oh and regarding you r dispensers "leak", sounds like you're overfilling with both bleach & fabric softener. I don't have any problem like that with mine, I"m very careful because of the siphoning used as part of this dispenser design. Bob
