Well I know everyone here who likes videos are going to enjoy these. Here are some wash action videos of the 1962.. Video #1 (2.5mb) is a demonstration of how to use the Easy Ring Control since its confusing unless you actually see it Video #2 (2.5mb) is a bit of Fill and Wash of a wash load consisting of four sweatshirts, one pair of jeans and four t-shirts Video #3 (2.5mb) is a continued view of the wash load in video #2 enduring Spiral Smackalations Video #4 (5.3mb) is Easy's exclusive eight spray rinses Video #5 (2.5) is a very heavy wash load, probably 1 and 1/2 wash loads stuffed into the machine to see how well it handles a overloaded wash Enjoy everyone, I will add these to our permanent "See It Wash" video library. |

How very cool! The timer-tongue looks like a bit of a pain, but still gets acclaim for the best crustacean panel design. That was not what I thought it would sound like, much louder than I thought for a direct-drive mechanism. The big mouth fill flume gets an A for drama, those spray rinses were spectacular! The Spiralation Replenishment System assures a full tub of water throughout wash and rinse cycles, without it, you'd suffer the dreaded dry agitation as with the ABC/Kelvinators.

Thats not far off a 190d sweep, sounds like the Norge to me...How effective where the 8 rinses?? Pleny of undertow action...The timer pull ring is interesting, I thought it would complete one sweep of the panel with one pull, I think you would soon get irritated by the pulling push especially if its so precise. Happy renovating, Mike |

Also I meant to put in the "Timer pull Ring" is most strange-would take getting used to.Once you get used to it-that does work OK.It would take practice in "Q-ing" the cycles. |

This machine must have a great suspension system-even with the huge load there is no side to side movement of the tub/agitator-must be very well built. Tom |

How's the rinsing? It's just fine, but it would be even better with an overflow rinse. Did you find any evidence of Consumer Reports complaint No actually I haven't, I stuffed that machine in that second video load and still the wash load didn't reach the fill flume. is that you doing the demo of the controls? Yup that was me, although I hate hearing my own voice on video or audio. Thank you David for your kind words. was their supposed to be a recirculating lint filter being water kept flowing during the washing phase I wasn't sure at first but I'm almost certain now there was never a filter. There is no bracket or any indication that there was a bracket to hold a filter and if the pan was inserted on the agitator it would had to have been so large that it would have gone under the clothes guard because the stream comes almost straight down. With other agitator mounted filters, the stream comes out towards the agitator. Also Greg and I looked in our parts books and found no reference to any agitator mounted filtered for this era of Easy automatics. How effective where the 8 rinses?? Well its better than nothing, the Easy has a weak clutch so if there are a lot of suds its going to get suds locked really bad and the spray rinses will do nothing. I have yet to suds lock the machine but its coming. This machine must have a great suspension system-even with the huge load It has a pretty good Beam style suspension, but with large loads it’s usually balances well. is the rinse water drinkable? Only if I use Dash What is supposed to be the capacity of this machine? Hi Todd, so nice to see you posting again. I suppose it’s around 10lbs. The tub is large, but the agitator takes up a lot of room in it like the Norge. but don't really see the rollover The clothes definitely roll over, but with that large load it takes more than 60's to really see it happen. |

Love the videos Robert! That is some powerful wash action on that heavy load. Especially towards the end of the video you can see the water splashing out..too cool. |

That's quite a basso profundo purr the machine has during agitation. If a great, big lion was a washer and that washer could purr, it would be an Easy. So, what's with the recirculating water if there's no lint filter? Is Gansky right? Is it just recirculating water spilled into the outer tub? So THAT's how the ring thingy works. What some of us didn't understand (and by 'us' I mean 'me') was that you had to pull on the thing repeatedly to advance the timer. A very interesting washer with very vigorous agitation. Thanks for the vids, Robert! And there's not a thing wrong with your voice, either. |

The time-line Kelvinator that my grandmother (and which have been found recently) worked similarly. Intead of pulling a ring out to get access to the crank-lever, it was just grabbed and pulled down repeatedly to set the cycle. Then turned to the right (I think) to turn the machine on. Or back left to turn off or pause the cycle.

Dadoes: "Intead of pulling a ring out to get access to the crank-lever, it was just grabbed and pulled down repeatedly to set the cycle. Then turned to the right (I think) to turn the machine on. " Sounds a little too kinky for me. |

The agitator needs some flat fins, like on the Roto-Swirl, to push the clothes out of the way on the front stroke so that there is less "burp-up" on the front stroke and more "suck down" on the back stroke. The Roto-Swirl gives much better turnover in this regard, but is much more rough on clothes. GE, and to a lesser extent Westinghouse, got pretty good rollover without too much burp-up by having their fins vertical around the ramp and more straight. If you look down at both these agitators, you see more of a right angel turn than a curve. |

Mickey the water is thrown from the tub very slowly as the Easy has a relatively weak clutch. It takes about 1.5 to 2 minutes to get the tub up to full speed, which is the way the velva-power tranny was designed to help balance the wash load. The really exciting part of this machine is the agitation. Steve, no overflow rinse in this machine because the pump wont pump out during agitation. Of course as you said a seperate electric pump could be added, but its not worth all the work for this machine. I'm not sure of the rated speeds of this machine, I would guess the spin speed to be around 625. |
