need info on this inglis/whirlpool washer model iv4800

�
I don't think the Kenmore 800 has a 3-speed motor. The motor is listed in the description as 2-speed, and the reference to 6 speed selections may be wrong.

The U.S. version seems to have only two speeds and does not have a specific selector for speed, although it does have a selector for 3 soil levels (Heavy, Regular, Light) that may control speed and also (I believe) affects wash time by changing the rate at which the timer advances. The controls on the linked CA model appear to be the same as the U.S. model. From left to right:
- 3 soil selections
- 6 water temps (Tap Cold, Cold, Cool, Warm, Extra Warm, Hot)
- Fabric Softener select (yes/no)
- One Rinse / 2nd Rinse

54 cycles is a marketing exaggeration. The timer has "cycles" (with an OFF after each) for:
- Normal (with a designated Express starting point included for shorter wash time)
- Casual
- Delicate
- Handwash (likely with intermittent agitation)
- Soak
- Prewash
- Heavy Duty w/Soak (with a Bulky/Bedding selection in it at a shorter starting point)

2nd Rinse phases follow Heavy Duty and Normal, not on Casual, Delicate or Handwash.

There are no wash time (minute) markings on any of the cycles, just the nine starting flags as listed above.

By combining the 3 soil levels and 2nd rinse with the designated starting points in the timer-cycles, 54 variations may be possible.

Checkrate/Likes The Kenmore is a 3-speed and the Inglis is 2. The Kenmore has the automatic water level, which most people don't like. The Inglis has manual water levels and does have extra rinse. Unless you wash a lot of delicates and need that extra low speed, I'd go with the Inglis. It's probably a bit cheaper, too.

Checkrate/Likes I'm sure all rinses are cold. All the wash temps are ATC except Tap Cold. Can't say what are the targets without further tech info ... but tech sheets I've seen for recent Whirlpool models may have warm as low as 75�F to 85�F, and hot possibly restricted to ~110�F. So Extra Warm may be ~100�F? Some previous models I've seen had Warm/Darks and Warm/Lights instead of Warm and Extra Warm. The U.S. Kenmore 800 is an EnergyStar-qualified model, which it garners by way of reduced temperatures, the auto water level function, and low-water rinsing (unless Softener Added is selected). You can see a diagram of the controls at www.kenmore.com.... Call-up washers, toploaders, select the 800 model, then look for a link to the QuickStart Guide. A .pdf document will open, which you can zoom-in for a closer look.

Checkrate/Likes warm as low as 75�F to 85�F, and hot possibly restricted to ~110�F. Greeeaaat. The new warm is cold and the new hot is warm. What will they think of next? I can't understand how anyone could possibly get exited about purchasing new appliances in this day and age.
