Gonna use it for parts to convert the 806 into a suds saver?

Tempting as that is...

I promised my boss I'd find her a vintage washer. She is also a historic preservationist with a passion for environmental causes. When I told her about Suds Savers, she REALLY wanted one. I'll send this over to her and she will take good care of it and take full advantage of the suds saver.

Now I just need another one...

Question?

volvoguy87's profile picture
What is the difference between an A408 and a 608? I know the 408 is a single-speed machine. Is the only difference a different motor, speed buttons, and maybe a timer?

What's the difference between a 608 and an 806?

I want a suds saver of my own someday,
Dave

I keep meaning to meet you since you're local. I just haven't had two moments to breathe lately.

Of course, I've ever seen a GM Frigidaire washer before either...

Dave it's not hard to make a Kenmore, any washer as log as the timer is equipt, in to a sud saver. I did it to my '76 LK. Just a few hose adaptations, a wire from the timer and a wire to neutral, oh the most important parts the suds valve and solenoid. On mine the suds return is at the bottom of the dial. This will only work when the circuit is complete.
