Well put, both of you. This is from the era of machines inspired by the line in the song Little Boxes, "and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same." |

Am assuming the tub indexed...and probably not a smart idea with such a large capacity machine to throw the water so soon without a full or partial neutral drain. Although my early 80s Amana goes right into spin without any trouble. Was Amana manufactured by Gibson or vice-versa?
The later Frigidaires started out with gentle spin speed for the first time increment undoubtedly to alleviate any “walking.” Norge/Wards also did a partial neutral drain before kicking into spin. |
