My previous machine was an electrolux/ frigidaire T/L. It had a neutral drain with a separate motor/pump. | ||

WESTINGHOUSE TL WASHERS
WH did build some of thier early TL washers with a PRE PUMP SOLENOID to allow the washer to drain before really going into spin. They also had a kit to add this feature to some machines to correct problems with poor belt life, out of balance load and vibration problems, leaking machines [ water being thrown over the tub in the start of spin cycle and scum and lint redepositing problems. But by the early 1970s the cost cutters eliminated these extra parts and the machine went on being the worst automatic washer of the decade. We used to run a lot of service calls on these and there were only two parts that we would replace on them, either the belt or the inlet valve almost any other repair was too expensive and not worth doing. I would place GE TL washers [ since 1995 ] in about the same category except the GEs work better but a lot of them are trashed before they reach 5 years of age. Junk is nothing new in the appliance world thats why many Norges, Westinghouse and Franklin built machines are so rare now as many were trashed long before they reached the 10 year mark.
