Unimatics One mechanism; hence, Uni, very smart engineering looks like some sort of spacecraft Motor, then pump, then post spins @ 1140 aka really really fast up and down agitator unique and unusual, regarded as one of the best washers ever made. Top rated by Consnoozers Perorts for years. Challenging to repair Once you have one you don't want to be without it Multimatics Belts and pulleys Spins at 910, still really fast newer and more sounds, esp. during spin. Pump starts immediately, no waiting for wind-up gorgeous consoles and stlying Really hard to work on Some think Multi's are more fun and luxurious Rollermatic. No belts or pulleys, the salesman said way beck then; it works on rollers. I've not yet learned how these work. Maybe Rollermatic will whip off a few paragraphs. The pulsamatics were cheaper than the unimatics, but were sold concurrently with them after the WO's. Like a Unimatic on speed, the pulsation is so fast it seems sometimes to be standing still, but the spin is slow because the design requires it to wash and spin at 660 stokes and rpms respectively. This'll get ya started till the masters chime in. Glad to help. I asked Gordon the other day if he was going to move on to Frigidaires, but he said probably not. Wouldn't that be fun if he did? |

Which trannys had the one-way motor (agitation and spin changed by soleniods), and the two-way motor (motor reverses for agitation and spin)? Gary |

The Unimatic rotates in one direction for both spin and pulsation (CW if I recall correctly) and utilize a solenoid to shift from pulsation to spin. The belt drive Pulsamatic/Multimatics, as well as both the Rollermatic mechanisms utilize a reversing motor to active spin and agitation seperately. Ben |
