Assuming you are referring to top-loaders, if the water came in from the bottom, then how would a spray rinse be done? That being said, the Bendix Economat filled from the bottom, water bubbled in up the agitator. That machine didn't spin, so spray rinses were not an issue. Where have you seen a 'modern' washer that agitates while filling? By the way, you *really* need to work on your writing and grammar skills, being as the written word is the primary method of communciation on the Internet. ;-) |

I have a UK Hotpoint TL from the 1980's and that agitates whilst filling. It is supposed to start the detergent working with the water and aid stain removal. As far as I can see, it does nothing at all. |

Hi My grandmother had an early 60's Lady Kenmore pair with the sudsaver and I can remember that when she would do her second load using the recycled water it would agitate while filling and then stop when it sucked in the used water and fill the rest of the tub with some fresh water. I left about and inch of water in the stationery tub that she would then drain out. What she told me was that after the wash water drained the soil would settle to the bottom and then when you reused it in the next load it would leave that inch there with the dirty stuff on the bottom. I could see where agitating while filling could damage your clothes over time. |

I think that some of the earlier automatics may have agitated while filling because you could first disolve the detergent, before putting the clothes in. I still do this. It must be a habit from my old wringer washer days. |
