You are correct Fred, the water temperature is set by adjusting the hot and cold faucets and if you turn the control dial to anywhere less than 6 minutes of wash time, agitation will begin no matter what the water level is. To say that this brochure for this BOL late 50's Whirlpool stretches the truth is an understatement. |

This was a "manual-automatic" a fancy wringer without the wringer? I think I understand it. |

At least they shift directly into neutral drain (and then spin) from agitation instead of pausing to reverse the motor. See... and as annoying as it is, in theory the dirt was bound to the water by a detergent (or soap) moleucle, which holds it in suspension. Being much heavier this "dirt-loaded" molecule would precipitate to the bottom. IMHO the pause allows this crud to flow and settle down, then get drained off first and not have a chance to re-deposit on clothing. |

Most people on this website seem to prefer washers that spin-drain, but ever since I was a baby, I've always been more excited by a belt-driven Whirlpool-Kenmore washing machine's neutral drain. |
