Every machine can be conquered! :) Jon, congratulations on finally getting the '55 back in service! What a beautiful machine, and what an accomplishment too on the mechanical work. Keep us posted on the maiden load (with the cabinet on, that is)! | ||

Wonderful pictures Jon. I love those close-ups of the control panel. I see there is a heater section on the temperature control, what is that setting for? Does it heat the water to hotter temperature than hot? And is there a fourth setting hiding behind the dial itself? Enquiring minds want to know!

Good morning Louis
yes that dial when set to HOT in wash activates the magic heater which is a 220V heating element in the washer that "keeps the water hot through the wash cycle". So it doesn't heat it up any more than what enters the tub but maintains the heat of the water. But this only works in the wash cycle not the soak or rinse. | ||

Louis
I think what you are asking about is The "Magic Heater" which is the control in the center and it works like this. It has two positions for wash water temperature. One is WARM the other is HOT. When set to HOT, hot water is filled into the machine.Then and only during wash cycle a 220V heater element buried in the tub is activated and keeps that water hot so it does not cool during the wash cycle. It isn't powerful enough to heat the water hotter than the temp it filled at but it won't let it cool down. This heater is only activated during the wash cycle not the rinses. Does that clarify its function for you? jon | ||

hi Diomede
This Bendix only has HOT wash or WARM wash and only WARM rinse or soak like most automatics of the period. So all the rinses are warm. There is no cold setting as this machine was made in 1955. There were no cold water soaps or detergents back then so no machine had a cold wash, therefor it had no cold rinse. The later 1958 Top of The Line machines all had 5 temperature settings. They are HOT wash, Warm Wash, Cool wash and COLD wash. Rinse has a choice of Warn , Cool, or Cold. I am not sure who came out with all these choices first ANYBODY know?? I know my 1957 Westinghouse as all these choices. Any machine that had the 3 solenoid water valve is what allowed all the selections. I don't know if any 1956 machines had that many choices.The valve manufacturers Dole, Horton, had come out with a 3 solenoid valve after cool water detergents were created for synthetic fabrics. | ||

Wow Greg
I'll try that with my new digital thermometer!! Tonight even and report back! Now that I have finally burned off all the stink from the solvents. OOOhh I opened up my 1958 Econo Model today and am about to replace the deadly asbestos gasket in its heating duct. The duct was SPOTLESS no water stains even! Albany water was always the best and it shows. If you use these machines as washers and dryers they will stay in terrific shape after 50 years! Amazing how right Bendix engineers got it 60 years ago! Hindsight is 20/20. | ||
