When my Aunt Nat's Spacemates died, she was in a bad situation. her husband walked out on her leaving 7 kids for her to fin and they were aged from 7 to 1 years old including a set of fraternal twins.She had laundry to wash daily and needed a new set. She found an older Hotpoint like these and hung the wash out until she was able to buy a Kenmore pair on credit and had them in coppertone for almost 17 years.But,she liked the Hotpoint better than the Kenmore claiming it spun faster and her clothes dried quicker.

This hotpoint I had worked great, it was from 1953 and still going, but I wasn't too keen on the semi-automatic aspect of it. Seemed durable enough.

The Wonderinse was just an early design for a fully automatic rinse agent dispensing system. I know that by 1961 Hotpoint replaced it with what was to be a conventional rinse cycle dispenser that was filled in a small reservoir under a little flap built into the lid of the machine (with a matching bleach dispenser right next door) both controlled by solenoids just like the ones on KMs and WPs of the same era. From what I understand, they worked very well and that dispenser design lasted until the late 60's.

There was no need for a water level for rinse. It was a continuous overflow while the fill valve was energized. The pump could handle the flow rate from the inlet valve. | ||

Pardon my ignorance of pre-rimflow Hotpoints, but was this design completely different from GE washers of the era? After GE introduced the Filter-Flo in the late '50s, how long was it before Hotpoint washers shared most of their internal design?
Wonderful photos and scans in this thread BTW! | ||
