Its certainly been a busy appliance February what with ranges coming, stoves being picked up for folk, new washer/dryer sets appearing all OVER the landscape! And I wasn't even looking going into the month.
Well yesterday some items made their way to the S.S.S.W. I rescued a Stove for Phil who is pining away for it. I retrieved the LK Electronic pair everyone was agog over- they are in nice shape.

The pause means the timer stops running, not the machine, so it just keeps on doing exactly what it's doing at that moment for as long as you like before you turn the timer back on and it continues cycle operation, automatically. I put a "timer killer" switch on almost every washer I own. On my Whirlpool 1960 with the four 12 seconds sprays for spray rinsing, I often kill the timer for an extra 30 or 45 seconds of contant spray, it makes for better rinsing. On my Suds model Filter-Flo, I kill it at the start of spin, that way I get a FULL tub of saveable suds instead of the timer telling the susd valve to close and spray rinse in only 2 minutes, I lose too much good suds that way.
Center dial Maytag 608----the deep rinse is too short if the load is jeans, towels, etc, so I just kill the timer for maybe 3 minutes, etc. The only machines that seemed near perfect in all the timing/rinsing/spraying is my 1978 Norge Burpilator and my 1-18's. Other than that, I like the switch on my other models. I don't use it for every load, but now and then it is needed and convenient. |

Start or Off switch was like the one or off button/switch on European appliances. Completely removed all power to the functioning control panel, thus cannot turn it on. But the hold/restart allowed one to pause the machine where it was in the cycle and keep it there until the switch was slid back to restart. Maybe better terms should have been pause/resume. The hold function held the timer and machine in suspension as it were and the timer did not advance. Nor did it completely wipe out exactly where the timer was in sequence to the cycle, which would happen if power was completely removed once the power switch was moved to off.

Start / Off is a power switch ... mechanically operates a holding relay as I recall. Moving it to Off while running kills the power. Hold pauses the running cycle, the electronic control board remains powered-on so it doesn't lose the selected cycle & settings. I assume the motor stops for the duration of the Hold, otherwise one could leave the machine agitating or spinning for days! |
