Brings back so many memories my grandma had this Same washer and the dryer to match and her close always came out so clean and soft miss the woo woo sound lol

[@patcola7335]

@@samaddison5891 Unfortunately I don't have the mechanical know-how to keep a machine like this running. I would have to go to somebody who had or has experience with these machines. This machine is already at twice its life, but I think there was some work done. To what extent I don't know. I'll just keep using it until I can't. Unfortunately, we will never see the likes of these machines again other than the Speed Queen TC5 currently available. I was in my teens when these were last produced and at that time I never thought they would go away. What a shame so many bought the LIE of "HE"....

I love these older machines with a powerful agitation. The newer ones with much less water and bad rollover take ages and things still aren’t clean after 1:30hrs

[@patcola7335]

@@mielefan18 These were real workhorse machines. Built much better than the crap that's passing off for machines today. All of these machines back when this was built were "commercial quality". It was just the standard back then. Sad to see that that philosophy doesn't hold today.

[@DADoESofTX]

The rinse agitation delay presumably is due to a Rinse-Fill increment in the timer. The fill took less than 2 mins (22:05 to 23:32) to attain the lower level, higher flow-rate on a warm fill (hot+cold). Agitation begins at 24:05, so there's the elapsed two mins. The timer would have advanced to (and stopped at) the rinse agitation increment if the fill took longer than two mins in which case agitation begins immediately when the fill is complete. A Rinse-Fill increment was a thing on belt-drives during the early years, possibly only on the Normal cycle (Delicate/Gentle, PP/WnW, and Knits may not have it). I would have figured WP eliminated it by this time but apparently not.

@@DADoESofTX Dadoes thank you soo much for your wealth of knowledge kind sir ! It's good to know these things. Such interesting machines these belt drives were. I may pull this out of service because I want to inspect it more and just do a going over. I know an old time repair man who loves the Whirlpool built machines. I don't know if he'll be interested in checking this out for me, but anyway this machine is a keeper !

[@bob3782]

I think that fill increment is because it was on the hot wash warm rinse

That’s a real washer ! The modern ones out there today are wimps full of stupid computer junk all unnecessary. I’d personally would take that one over any of the junk that’s out there. Especially those stupid ones with a wash plate that don’t clean that well

[@patcola7335]

@@robertwhite9898 Yeah, I remember these machines well . This came out in early 1985 I believe and I was 17. The only other belt drive washer I had in my life was the one my mother had from the early 60s, a 1963 Kenmore 600 series washer. This machine makes all the same noises as that Kenmore. I guess it would since it was manufactured by Whirlpool. These were definitely one of the best.

@@patcola7335 I remember when I spoke with a representative from Whirlpool & they told me that they did built washers for Sears under the Kenmore label 🏷️ Sears sold quite a lot of them. They heald up really well! Some lasted decades

Great Video Pat, How are you liking this machine so far and will it be a keeper for you??? Has your drying time been much longer now since this machine doesn't spin as tight as the machines of today??? For me I wouldn't care about a little longer drying time, I would own this washer again in a heartbeat!!!

[@patcola7335]

Hi Robert ! I really like this machine! Oh yes this machine is definitely a keeper. I plan on pulling it out of service soon and inspecting it some more to see what shape things are in. There is some rusting on the top edge of the metal outer tub... Especially in the area where the fill flume spray is aimed. Not bad but it's there . Drying times have been a little longer but this machine doesn't fart around. It fills incredible quick which I loved about these and just gets to business. As much as I also like the direct drive washers, let's be honest, their wash action does not compare to an older belt drive. The surgilator was always my overall favorite agitator. If for any reason I would get rid of it, it will only go to a collector who truly knows how to work on these machines and loves the Whirlpool belt drives.

Great job Pat

I noticed that the wash drain is the standard four mins for a super-capacity model but the rinse drain is two mins. I didn't notice if that's the case on the other videos of this machine. Odd, if so. All drain periods reasonably should be four mins.

[@patcola7335]

@@DADoESofTX I thought so also. I knew I wasn't imagining that. Maybe Whirlpool was tweaking these machines towards the end ?

nice video

[@vanni9283]

Noticed that the sound of the air being pulled through the pump post-drain is actually a little bit quieter when draining out hot water. Maybe the heat in the pump dampens the sound?

[@patcola7335]

@@vanni9283 I'm thinking it might have something to do with the sudsy wash. Maybe it muffles the sound more.

Ah another great wash from a er.. machine older then me.. very nice to see how much better these machines worked. They really don't make em like they used too, I refuse to buy a hardly efficient, just waiting for a nice used to show up local on Craigslist, it's tough tho theirs folks I would rather not buy something like a washing machine from.. Not to impugn anyone, it's just a thing, wish those machines were still the norm, I like the rough, gear box, powerful motor, option to fill tub, wasteful or not, I pay the water, last time I checked. And it's not as if water is used and then goes away from forever, out creatior in his wisdom made water last forever, and it's filtered for free and fall from the sky's, contaminate free. Just to think we drink water that may have been sewage, or even been in someone else's body or an animals, likely has been. So the whole waisting water is another govt attempt to fool the foolish to thinking they care or there is a issue with the environment. Just like EV cars, which end up being much less efficient, and pollute when their massive battery's die, theirs nothing can be done, just landfill it which is worse then landfilling most trash.. their dangerous too lithium batterys are very flammable, so no option to crush them and re cycle them like you can do with a gas car.. and to charge them ususes so much electricity which comes from horrible coal burning power plants, well like 80 percent, which belt out more CO2 and other nasty stuff much worse then 100 cars. But voters aren't gonna look into things like that.. now I can't get a decent machine to clean my dirty cloths unless I wanna spend over 1k, or buy used, all cause most ppl are more then swayed by bumper sticker policies. And elect bumper sticker politicians. Don't be one of those.. sorry went on tangent, made comment to long. Good video tho, thx agiflo. Question how does the agitator cap thing know when to despence the softener ?
