My 1959 Lady Kenmore had an ultraviolet lamp in addition to an interior tub light. The ultraviolet light made the layer of suds glow/reflect brilliantly. The light may not have been strong enough to do what the manufacturer claimed, but it was worth it just to see the suds "pop". If it was seven DEEP rinses----could you imagine the water/energy bill, since I'm guessing this machine defaulted to a warm rinse---not to mention the wear and tear on clothing? It would be like putting each load through 3-1/2 complete cycles. You'd run out of hot water halfway through one load. A machine like that would make the double wash/extra rinse GE Dispensall look positively frugal, LOL. | ||

And those were tiny, short sprays of about 8 seconds, not like the longer Maytag spray rinse. | ||

Does anyone know if WP throughout their 38 years of the BD design always had the seven rinses? | ||

Thank you gmmcnair. Rick, i just love that machine of yours. Too bad WP did not hang on to that center dial design for a while longer. For me personally i think this style and the 58 WP timeline Imperials were WP at it's best style wise. | ||

Hi Guys
I have WP BD LDA6900 J0 and i just steppped into the garage and fired her up and counted just to be sure because i knew there were more than 7 rinses. This model has 9: 4 sprays after the wash; one deep rinse; 4 sprays after the deep. I am always impressed at the way you know what year your machine was made. This baby is old. She has the double cooldown on Permanent Press and one cooldown on Knits. You can hear all of her wonderful noises especially the snap of the pipes after each spray all through the first floor of the house. Rick,I remember when you first showed that load, and it was so cool looking and you said something funny like : "I had no idea my gym short could be so interesting." Tommyturbo, I timed the sprays for you; they are exactly six seconds each. That's 56 seconds almost tie with Maytag's Norge's and GE's 60 seconds. | ||

Mickeyd-- The Kenmore Model 80 (1960) I grew up with also had four sprays in each spin. First spin: 2 minutes with water going out the suds-saver hose. Then you'd hear the 'clunk' of the pump valve shifting to the other drain hose, followed by 4 spray rinses. Final spin: Four sprays in the first two minutes, then 4 more minutes of spin (in the whites/colors cycles).
