Rinse......Fill......Rinse.....Dry
a Double-Rinsing Maytag?
DAN, BEN & CO, what's going on here?
Wait.... just thought of something: Is the first Rinse period, the wash spin and the spray rinse?
How many Tag dials have we seen here, but never this one. Had to get the magnifier out to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. What other Tags (years and models) have this rare dial?
AGI BOOGIE: A suds ~ AWESOME! Thanks for a doubly rare treat!

I believe the washer is either a A200S or a A202S - yes, a BOL, two speed, timed fill Maytag with suds saver. I can't say that I've seen a suds version of a 100/200 panel - can you shoot a picture of the whole panel?
I had to brush up on the service lit for this one - but to return the suds, you would set the switch to "SAVE", then set the timer to about the 10 minute mark. Once the suds were fully returned, reset the timer for the desired wash time, add any necessary detergent and clothes. Much different method than a Maytag with the SUDS RETURN built into the timer. The 124 originally was the A200 from 1958 till around 1961, then the A200/A202 was in production until 1965. The dryer is a DE300. Mike - Maytag did some funny stuff with their pre-06 timer dials. Some of them show the whole spin from wash and rinse as a whole rinse, but this washer follows the typical Maytag convention of Wash - Spin - Spray Rinse - Spin - Fill - Rinse - Spin.

I'd love to see a money shot. Could this model be the same as the first 'Tag I ever saw, with a dark blue/gray speckled tub and the wringer style black bakelite gyratator? I remember being so freaked that the entire agitator was submerged during the wash cycle; you could see rollover and movement, but no agitator in sight! Dr. Freud thought that was interesting. Marked me for life. |

Interesting to see a full rinse marking for the spray AND EXCITNG, too.
Usually the Save or Drains switches regulate the output; you know: one hose if you're not saving suds, or two if you are, and then Suds (return) is marked on the dial or there is another button for return. This arrangement is unusual. I, too, am wondering if there is a return switch, but if you say the doctrine says to select SAVE, then of course, I believe you, and there would not be a return switch.
What a trip this Maytag is. To devote a whole rinse segment to the almighty unparalleled* Maytag spray is so preferential, respectful, and cool it sends me right over the top, and now I want one SOOOOO bad. Then when someone comes over, I can exclaim, "You must, must, must come see my Maytag with the special rinse setting!" I'm sure they'll hurry away. Good! LOL.
* until GM FINALLY figured it out in the 1-18. This post was last edited 12/03/2012 at 19:49 |

Cool this is a rare machine and another low mileage machine in great condition, Yay
Michael as Ben was explaining you set the washer timer dial to 10 minutes or less and the motor will start running and if in addition you push the suds save button it will energize the two-way valve and the washer will suck what ever amount of water is in the storage tub back into the washer. And if for some unusual reason there is more than about 18 gallons of water in the storage tub the washer will overflow, LOL. |

That is the same machine in a "Tag Laundromat" in Sandwich on the Cape. I can't believe you remember the "Gyrator" being submerged during the Wash and Rinse cycles. I used to fold up a pack of my Mom's matches for Cigs back then and stuff it the back of the Lid just to watch the turnover of the Wash and Rinse.
What Memories. Imagine on a Hot July Night in the early 60's. Going to a Laundromat. And hearing 48 Maytag Highlanders droning to the Agitation and Spin Cycles with Timers "Scratching" when they changed increments. Hot water was at least 140 when you hit the "Hot Wash" button. Imagine the smell of "Blue Cheer" and Clorox on a 80 degree night in July with a Ice Cream Cone in hand !!! |

The water didn't actually cover the agitator. It went to the "water line" about an inch and a half from the top. But with the washing action at times the water would cover the top of the agitator. A lot of suds would definitely cover it. |

When returning the suds water to the washer the wash tub should not have any clothing in it, the exception would be solid tub washers that had a dedicated suds return pump to return the suds water and did not agitate during suds return process. Once the majority of the wash water was returned you could add the next load of clothing and add additional detergent and allow the washer to top off the water level usually with hot water. |

Both Kenmores and Maytags returned suds the same way. Somewhere in the manuals, they tell you to return the sudsy water before adding the clothes. In Maytags you would have to close the lid, as you say, but the KM's allowed you to watch all the fun. At some point, maybe in the late 70's KM engineered the low speed suds-return, thus creating less stress mainly on the clothing, for anyone loading before sudsing. |

Looks like a 202S as it has the center lid switch and bump in the heavier lid to actuate it. Earlier Highlanders had the switch to the left of center and strike lip on a thinner lid. My grandmother's had the exposed-button switch of the earlier model and my thumbs would nearly be bruised from holding it in cycle after cycle.
