Damien, can you get any pix up? Not familiar with the numerical sequences, but in the general, the lower end models of most brands did not have an OFF/ON switch -- you just pulled the plug -- as you say, while the higher end models had an OFF position on the timer dial, and a HOLD position to keep the motor running without engaging the timer. A few, like the Easy wringer, did sport an actual OFF/ON switch, separate from the timer. I doubt that your machine has such a switch. Will locate my KM Wringer Book later, and see what's there.
Would love to see your 300 machine, inside and out. |

Some makes with timers also have speed switches; that way if you want a gentle touch on a soiled load, you can wash for the max time of 25 minutes on gentle speed. NOTE: The timer turns clockwise all the way to just before HOLD, yielding 25 minutes, and counterclockwise for the HOLD setting.
The "HOLD" setting allows you to keep the motor running in whatever mode you're using wash, wring, drain, or all of the above. Where the term comes form is still a mystery: On a dishwasher, HOLD, means still and off, as in Rinse and Hold. On the conventional washers, HOLD means ON and running. Interesting. One day. I hope to find the reason for this earlier usage. I've seen your straight vane agi here recently in a few other machines, but not a stand alone for sale. Keep looking. Things turn up around here like turnips at harvest time. |

Nothing is wrong with the agitator itself I just wondered so I can like maybe do only a couple strokes with the agitator on delicates. with mine I'll just have to do that manually. Hopefully I'll do some wringing and taking some photos soon. so stay tuned. |
