This must have been prior to dispensers and their magic clean filter. Don't see a lint filter at all. Jon | ||

I'm no expert...
I believe the first Lint Filter was the "Water Fall" which had a screen like device formed in a sleeve that removed lint. Then came the "Magic Mix Filter which was kinda like a round hair brush with a see through lid. Then came the Magic Clean which I know nothing about and how it worked. Attached is a pic of my newly added '61 Whirpool with the "Magic Mix".

Get that bad boy rinning ?
I went to shut off the water the other day and the cold would not stop running. It's a "toggle" type shutoff. It's old and corroded. I'm waiting for a plumber to change it next tuesday. And belive me ,,, I'll post pics of the Whirlee and the 1-18. I have a busy week end so, I'm waiting for next Tuesday. Can't wait to give the ShredMore a rest..

The brushes were always the same, but some did not have the glass viewing insert. The reservoir's capacity wasn't quite enough to handle 1 to 1½ cups of powdered detergent as was the dosage back in the day. Our local Whirlpool dealer always advised NOT to use the Magic Mix as a detergent dispenser, to avoid potential clogging of the hose with detergent residue ... which I never thought that was likely to happen. There was also a "bed of nails"-type of cartridge recirculation filter, which took the place of the brush-style in the early or mid-1970s. | ||

I'm aware of four styles of self-cleaning filter used, amongst Whirlpool and Kenmore. Pebble-canister. Diaphragm-style mounted at the corner of the cabinet. Diaphragm-style integrated with the pump protector mounted at the tub outlet. Strainer-type snapped-in beneath the basket. The first three were forced-recirculation and cleaned by back-flushing during drain. | ||

I love the picture of the rinse cycle. It looks like a big bowl of Jell-O | ||

so beautiful
Rick, your 56 set is so pretty! The chrome filter and agitator cap are perfect "customized" additions to that washer. My godmother had that set, and as she didn't have kids and was a fastidious housekeeper (She would wipe her boxer's mouth after it drank water from its dish) she kept them as clean and sparkling as your set is. I just love them!
