This was fantastic reading! Have never seen a kitchenaid washer or dryer here in Australia - so I appreciate your efforts in posting all these brochure pics! Love them! Cheers Ste. |

These did use the stepped-down agitation speeds - three speed motor runs on medium speed for "normal" agitation, high speed for drain and fast spin and lowest motor speed for low agitate. I love the wash-action of these three speed, larger agitator machines. The earlier KitchenAid washers didn't utilize this speed profile, they had the standard WP/KM agitator (in blue) and had the same strokes/min on normal and low speeds as their WP & KM counterparts. The very earliest KA washers (1986-87) didn't have the auger agitators, they used the straight-vane version (also in blue) that Whirlpool used until the Kenmore rights to the DAA were up in 87-88 or so (?)
My pushbutton rapid-advance control Kitchen Aid never came in a three-speed version, two speed only with smaller agitator (base) and speed selections. When I put that machine back into use again someday, I'm going to try to convert it to a three speed machine w/the larger agitator as I have couple of the KA "Gold Seal" motors around I saved out of other KA's. |

As a WP sales & service provider for than 35 years I don't think I have replaced more that two plastic tubs for any reason I have never seen hairline cracks in one. The dual action agitator is the best thing that ever happened to top loading washers. Its interesting that even when some people are presented with overwhelming evidence of superiority they just cover thier eyes and say it isn't so. But this sort of explains why we can end up with George bush as president and a common sense health care bill has so much problem passing in this country.

My experience with the plastic tubs is that soils will stick to them and cause an array of problems. I think it is a contributing factor in the mold issues in many front loaders.
I have never serviced a whirlpool machine with a plastic tub that didn't have a ring of filth just above the highest water level in the tub. Gross! Malcolm |

KA used the same transmission as all WP built DD washers the stroke length is the same. KA did use a slower speed and larger fins on the agitator which did give a gentler agitation. Note the beloved GE FF washers also use a short fast stroke and it would stand to reason that a shorter stroke would do less fabric damage as the agitator has less possibility of dragging the clothes as much. I would like to see a picture of any type of cracks that formed in use in the outer tubs of a DD washer I have never seen this.Remember WP has built more than 90 million DD washers and are still building more than 10, 000 per day, I have seen broken tubs after the machines have been thrown off the back of a truck as they are discarded.

When Hobart owned Kitchenaid was their motors in there dishwashers,disposals,etc, also made by them?Like the Gold seal motor was that made by Hobart or bought from or subcontracted out from an outside source?My 85 Kitcheanaid disposal when grinding changes direction depending whats being ground quite a bit without turning it off when my Viking which looks just like it just jams don't do that.
