Early Aquarius and Non Aquarius machines of the same time simply had new 5kg drums with holes in the paddles IIRC however the only difference was reversal of the Non Aquarius systems half load switch to utilise a low wash and rinse water level.
Super Rinse obviously utilised the higher setting on the pressure switch in the rinses on Aquarius models. Slow tumbles and non distrubuting drains didnt actually become part of the programming until 1995 when the early WM/last of the 95 series machines were superseeded by those bearng "NAWS". Both examples of WM12 I have encountered made in 1994 still drained while distributing. The service manuals of this time have made some interesting reading! Programming on these machines were also much better than the New Gens and 18's in that longer distributions and spin bursts between the rinses were incorporated. Re the discussion on Jeans and spin speeds yes I now do believe speed has very little to do with extraction, Im shocked at how dry towels and bedding comes out at 800rpm in the Next Gen compared to the 1000 New Gen got them. The extra time used in distribute to clear the pump makes so much difference in the spins and rinses. No water slap here! ![]() |
