First, Bob gets on the floor to watch the GE Combo, just like he says he did in front of the Bendix!

Wishing I could join ya'll as I know you are having a great time. That GE Combo can sure do a good rinse! One nice thing about Austin's collection is that no matter how slow everything else spins, there is an 1140 rpm extractor nearby! | ||

Sudsy WO-65-2 overflow-washing! I added 4 scoops of Gain to another load, and while there were quite a bit of suds in the rinse, the "cake" wasn't much of one. The Mexican phosphated detergents are the ones that really work best.

Austin, I'm sorry I mmissed the baby 'mo & the GE washing. I was so exhausted once I made that trip up to the house, I just couldn't go back down. And I was waiting for them to be connected. I guess those will be on my "Next Time" list just like the GE Combo and AMP were the Must Watch ones this time.

I wanna thank Glenn for being such a great host and letting myself & Brian invade your kitchen lol. For Venus, Austin, Tom, and Haley, thank you seems so inadequate. Your hearts and arms area always open to welcome any and all of us, but it's so important to me. And Austin, I cna't wait until I can see all that new washing action. Brian, thank you so much for the team work in putting together the feast and your great ideas. I probably would have cratered Fri. evening if it hadn't been for you. I was almost too numb to head out to Glenn's wonderful, exciting NEW laundry studio with all its surprises for me. Glenn, thank you for the latest chapter of observiing "forbidden cycles". And the new faces I finally got to meet in person, David, Jeff, and Carol--y'all are awesome. And Helen, you already know what's in my heart. | ||

I promise to make the next Texas wash in. I was going to come to this one, but I had a trip swap to make. It looks like you all had a lot of fun! Those photos are very nice. It's always nice to see photos on this website! Thanks for sending them. | ||

The wash-in thread I started got tucked down in the Super section, so I'll add some comments to Austin's thread. First, it was a blast to meet the new peeps and visitate again with the 'oldsters.' Word I had was Jason & Helen were going to make only Bellville on Saturday, so I was tres surprised when they pulled up behind Carol. Bob & Bryan and their assistants did a bang-up job on the cooking. Lawdy, we had bunches of food. Chicken mole, mmmm! Guacamole dip, mmmm! Tacos, mmmm! Chocolate cheesecake, mmmm! Pumpkin dump cake, mmmm! Austin's machines on Saturday were perfectly functional, of course. Mine on Friday were, uhhh, marginally funtional, LOL. Running a Bob-load in the KA 760, the agitator dogs went bad and we saw that the "clothes mover" really does help with rollover. I think it was asked in the other thread what are all my machines. In absolute order of acquisition: KitchenAid 760 pair, F&P GWL08& DE04 pair (but currently living at my grandmother's house), F&P IWL12 & DEGX1 pair (which didn't get run Fri evening), Frigidaire WO-65 (I ran it briefly, just to show that it does run!), Maytag A206, Maytag A906/DE906 pair (in coppertone!), Whirlpool Calypso & a single-speed, standard capacity GE FilterFlow. Yes, there's a KUDS22 also. The DishDrawer "forbidden cycle" was done by getting a cover made (thanks, RJ!). The drawer closed/open sensor is optical. There's an infrared light emitter and pick-up tube on the motherboard at the upper right side of the drawer. A prism mounted in the cabinet frame bends the beam from the emitter and routes it back to the pickup. I ordered a "tub home" prism via Sears Parts online and taped it to the side of the drawer. Those who were invited and couldn't attend, we missed you. Those who weren't invited and would liked to have attended, we apologize! Next time I'll either have some or all of my machines working better, or maybe I'll have more machines that also don't work so well. :-) | ||

gifted and talented Westy
On the agitator shelf of pure white agitators, I think I spied both the penta-swirl and the penta-flex--nice! The mini-quick spin, esp. after the wash: I sure agree--blink or sneeze and you miss it. I have a big gap in my washer education. Very little experience with and don't "GET" front loaders. I wish you'd teach me. | ||

Thanks to all of you for sharing the Wash-In experience. Austin, have you ever tried substituting a deep tub turquoise Power Fin for the Gyrator in your 101P? I assume you have bypassed the lid switches so that you don't need the water level switch to be activated by the chrome cap. Tom | ||
