Just saw this listing on CL. It doesn't even have hot water! lol. Just warm and cold. One cycle.
Has anyone seen this before? Very simple and I'm sure it cleans great. If you put it the cork screw agitator with FS dispenser, it would actually make a good machine. CLICK HERE TO GO TO joeypete's LINK on Nh Craigslist |

surprised they went that far with a separate knob for the temps.....normally you find a water level and the temps built into the timer selections......but yeah, as they dub down temps, Warm and Cold are your only options.....in the case of this machine, one fill level....
then again, willing to bet there is no AutoTemp control, so you could manually get a Hot wash by turning off the cold faucet as it fills.... willing to bet though that the water valve is restricted to give Warm a Luke warm temp..... and true, just by switching out that agitator, you can beef up the action of this machine... |

I thought the same thing, just put the temps in the timer. I remember seeing a Filter flo at Sears around 1994 that just had the timer knob, and it also only had warm and cold settings. |

I always thought that these washers operated on Hot/Cold for the wash & rinse for the Regular Cycle, myself... (And a Cold/Cold wash & rinse on a shorter cycle or Permanent Press...)
The Montgomery Ward that I went to, the sales lady would even say "this washer only does HOT WASH" when a customer she was selling to would be at a BOL model, apparently buying his first machine... (This was an old bachelor, doing lifelong laundry at a laundromat, or perhaps widowed, and in charge of replacing the broken machine his late-wife left behind & perhaps having no children from their union to help him shop...)
