And yes, the fabric softener dispenser is disgusting, but it can be cleaned. God I hate fabric softener! | ||

I had the EXACT model a few years back. I did at least 20 loads a week in it for 4 years, and never so much as a squeak out of it. The only reason it was replaced, is because I wanted to go to a front loader. Turn over is great, rinsing is decent with a good spray rinse BEFORE the rinse. And a good extract. Congrats on a good purchase!! Joel | ||

Thanks guys. I gotta tear it down first. I am so looking forward to sending the front loader on a one way cruise. | ||

Yes, it does a full spin out after the Double wash setting. I used to wash cloth diapers. So, it was perfect. Double wash, with an extra rinse without having to babysit it. The softener dispenser is easy as hell to clean. I even put it in the dishwasher a time or two. Those Amana's were very helical drive, Maytag-like. Good times. :P | ||

ahh!! The one with the weird knobs. Did Amana start making these in late 2000? I haven't seen many of these come into the shop. I only remember them on the website. | ||

The extra rinse is a full, deep rinse. The only spray rinse is right after the main wash (as it should always be, IMHO). If I remember correctly, it was about 30 seconds. Could have been a minute, but I highly doubt it. I got mine in 2000, and it was right after they changed the look of the control panel. In fact, 6 months earlier, I got an Amana dryer, and it was the old style panel. I really did not care about matching though, as long as I got clean clothes. Any other questions about it, just ask. OH!! and if you ever use the Delicates or Handwash program, it will automatically default to a slow wash and slow spin. The perm press MIGHT default to a slow spin, but I rarely used it, and cannot remember. So, do not think it is not working properly, it is supposed to do that to prevent damage, and poor results. | ||
