Good mod for a soak cycle. Would like to see some pics of your alteration of the timer cams, many may not know what that even means or have seen the inside of a timer before.
IMO, one of the best cycle options on a washer was the Catalyst washer with periods of soaking and washing as an option. Spotless washing every time. |

To many cams and complicated electronics for me to figure out. Will have pics when I get to working on the extra rinse. |

UPDATE: The extra rinse is finished! Took some trial and error, but it works now. Pics will be up soon. |

OK, now the contact that the arrow is pointing to, is the line switch. That's what we need to modify, in order to get a working soak AND extra rinse cycle. But actually we're not touching the contact itself... |

gansky1: IMO, one of the best cycle options on a washer was the Catalyst washer with periods of soaking and washing as an option. Spotless washing every time.F&P agitator toploaders have a 2-hr Soak option (or 1-hr with time-saver option added, or can be advanced manually when desired) that agitates five strokes every minute. CW-CCW-CW-CCW-CW, so the load indexes CW each time. IWL models have a separate Stained soil level that incorporates a few short soak periods into the wash. |
