Well the Easy is back together and running perfectly. I washed two very dirty load of towels tonight. That BIG sprialator agitator doesn't take any baloney let me tell you. Its just a dramatic as I was hoping for and then some, even with a overstuffed load. The Cycle is pretty standard, Fill 10 Min Wash Pause Spin 8 Spray Rinses Spin Rinse Fill (no overflow rinse) 2 Min Rinse Agitation Pause 5 Min Final Spin There is recirculation in this machine, but no filter to catch the lint, I believe the recirculation is mainly for the suds return system, here are photos of the premier wash load tonight...

Very nice. Does it sound like an Easy Spindrier when agitating? I like how they have the silhouette of the Spindrier on the naemplate. |

Thanks Robert for the neat pictures. You really got this machine up and going in a hurry. The finished load looked really white and bright!! Terry |

Hi Everyone, glad you enjoyed the pictures and yes I will try and get the old video camera rolling for our video hungry group. Austin the machine is indeed a reversing motor design with a pause between agitation and spin. I thought it might be a solenoid snap into spin design because there is a big solenoid on the top of the transmission with a linkage into the center. It turns out this solenoid is referred to as a "Hold" solenoid and its purpose is to cut out agitation but keep recirculation going during the suds return cycle. The saved suds water is pumped from the sink back into the outer tub and then recirculated into the wash tub. Does it sound like an Easy Spindrier when agitating? Hi Scott, yes a bit, but the automatic is slightly louder, I remember the Easy Spindrier I had a ways back, when its was just agitating was almost silent. Eight spin rinses sounds like a great idea. How did you quantify that? DGeek, the wash spin off is four minutes long, during the last two minutes the washer sprays eight times, 5 seconds for each spray. There must be a sub-increment cam inside the timer (just like on a Whirlpool, Kenmore, Norge and Wards washers) which controls the intermittent spray. Did you work out the arc swing & OPM?? Hi Mike, no not quite, but it certainly is not a 210 degree arc. Glad your other dream machine is up and running Ummm, are we talking in the Victorian sense Austin ;) |

Hi Brent, How long is the first spin with all of the spray rinses? the wash spin off is four minutes long, during the last two minutes the washer sprays eight times, 5 seconds for each spray. From start to finish, how long did the entire load take? About 35 Minutes Also, were the towels very dry after the final rinse? Compared to a Frigidaire they were dripping wet, compared to a Kenmore they were ready for ironing. was the Easy matching dryer made by Easy? I have no idea about that one. Tom it is interesting you mention the lint filter. Was it built into the lid itself or under the top? At first I thought maybe the lint filter was missing but I can find absolutely no evidence of any bracket to hold a filter mechanism. As for the lid switch it is wired directly into the incoming hot power so, so all actions stops, even fill when you open the lid. What's even crazier is the lid switch is a rather sharp blade and it is heavily spring loaded, so it literally hurts to hold it in. Of course the first thing I did was to take the switch out of the circuit. |

How beauuuuutiful It's begging for the chrome top, agi cap with EASY engraved. Let me send it to you. It's just so cool. I've looked at the pics at least 5 times. Pic#7 with the olive, peach, and orange towels clearly shows the swirling currents of the spirilator. Amazing that a photo could do that. That's how unique amd powerful the spirilator is. You can't find any evidence of a filter mount because the FILTER FITS OVER THE AGITATOR. Mine (aqua-colored) is three houses ago. I didn't use it . Irretrievable. Sorry! I'll try to get another one. Thank you sooooooo much for this, a glimpse of heaven for me. I love you, Robert. Mikey |

Interesting information...can an 11" Filter-Flo pan fit over the agitator and reach out far enough to catch the stream? |

being home on Friday morning because all the schools in Western New York are closed even though it is NOT snowing a single flake. The local affiliate of NPR (National Public Radio) all but boasted that it was the longest closing list they have ever read. Why-----???? Wind wind and more wind 60 mph hopping over Lake Shore Road (U.S. Route 5--we're all so connected) turning it into a carwash O R_________ An Easy Spray rinse cycle. Everything always goes back to wasing machines. Dearest Turbo and Jetco, you've got to figure that since easy was the master of the spray rinse, their first automatic would have to be spectacular in that regard. Imagine, a front-mounted fill flume wider than the Whirlpool horseshoe spray (mid 90's),shooting curtains of water and Eight of them. How I'd love to see it. Deprived, I have never seen an Easy Automatic. And I've had the same thought as you have, Tom. The Spindrier wash tub is so wide, and the automatic tub so small by comparison, the Spirilator would wreak holy hell in it. Do you guys harbor the fantasy that perhaps the Easy Automatics faded because they were just too powerful, hence scarrrryyy, with their razorblade lid switched that even stopped the fill like the older Frigidaires? Thank you so much for your big threads. I've go to move the Maytag Portable off the deck because I think it might blow away. MIkey, Michael, Mickeyd, Easyspin Yeaaaaaahhhh |

Awesome, Robert! Isn't the 650 rpm the same spin speed as a solid tub GE? Does the Easy spin clockwise like a Kenmore & Frigidaire or counter like a GE & Maytag? Les |
