You have a lint filter like that on the right? Is there anything written at the top of the agitator?

No lint filter?! OK, I was going to suggest you buying a spare pump for it as they are still available and not very expensive but I don't know exactly what kind of pump you need since there's no lint filter. I guess others with more knowledge about Inglis/RCA/Whirlpool/Kenmore washers will tell you. I thought all models from this time period either had the "Dispenser/Filter" or the Self-Clean filter. |

I just got the RCA Supreme 70 in the pictures I sent above. It's in very good condition for a machine that was used regularly since the early 1970's!
Unlike the similar Whirlpool Supreme 70 that was sold in the US, this machine has 3 cycles (no super wash) and no self-clean filter but it does have infinite water level control which isn't that common on Whirlpool (or Inglis) machines from the early 1970's that aren't TOL.
Unlike my 1972 Inglis Royal 100, this one doesn't have bilingual instructions on it's control panel. It does have a white Inglis agitator as you can see in the previous pictures I posted. I can't tell if it's original or if it has been replaced. |

I might have asked this question before, and if so, forgive me, but in what year did RCA switch from a Whirlpool to a Westinghouse design, or vice versa? My grandmother had an RCA washer from around this time frame, and it definitely wasn't Whirlpool "under the hood", but was more like the washer below, including the locking lid. The control panel was very similar to the ones here, except I remember the rinse in the Permanent Press cycle taking up a lot of real estate on the timer dial, probably to incorporate whatever cool down it did.

I think it's around 1975. There was another Inglis-based RCA washer design after this one and then they switched to Westinghouse for both their washers and dishwashers. The 1975 RCA washer brochure is available for download on this site and it features Westinghouse clones... Note that they kept the slanted console design and Supreme name from the previous Inglis/Whirlpool-based machines. CLICK HERE TO GO TO PhilR's LINK |
