Looking at today's POD, I see that they are touting Whirlpool's "seven rinses" that supposedly use less water than competitors' two or three rinses. What are these? |

I think up through 58 WP had a little button you pressed on the front to open the lid on their mid and higher priced washers. |

Were exactly as agiflow described - spray rinses plus deep rinse totalling 7. Is this the 54 model? I have the 56 which also has a push-button lid release; it is a spring-loaded mechanism on mine however there were some Whirlpool washers with a solenoid- operated lid release. I have never been sure if they were the earlier or later models. Either way, the lid release button lights up - bonus! |

Going back and looking, I see the insignias on the front of the washer and dryer. Again, looking at the blurry fine print under the Whirlpool name, it looks like either 1955 or 1956 to me. |

A suds-lock is when the suds between the spin basket and the outer tub are sufficient enough to cause the machine to never reach full operating spin speed.
Suds have more surface area and friction than most people think. WP was prone to the effect because the distance between the tubs was so little especially when compared to something like a GE FilterFlo. |
