This post is more for future reference than anything as this set really isn’t spectacularly notable other than that they are very dependable. What I found neat was the plastic wash basket. I believe these were only in whirlpool built admiral and crosley machines from when whirlpool bought Maytag until the VMW machines were introduced. I’ve never seen an admiral or crosley VMW machine so they may still have a plastic wash basket. All of the roper and amana machines that I saw built under whirlpool all had porcelain coated steel wash baskets. I was going to keep the wash basket from this machine swapping it out for a porcelain one because I’ve only seen 2 but someone wanted a good set so I sold these. I really didn’t check for sure but I think the bottom of the base of the agitator seemed shorter because of the contour of the plastic basket. I could be wrong.
Here are some pictures for y’all to enjoy and for the archives. Washer model: ATW4475TQ0. Serial: CU4821622 Dryer model: AED4475TQ0. Serial : MU3309269 Plastic basket with balance ring part number: W10042080 Balance ring part number: W10116946 Agitator Complete: WPW10093671 Agitator base: W10093670 Agitator auger: WP3360825 Agitator repair kit: 285748 |

The last one I saw with a plastic wash basket was Crosley badged at an estate sale and I would’ve bought it but they wanted $100 for it and animals had ruined the cabinet on it to the point that the base frame was rusted in two.
The one I parted with also had a two speed motor even though the timer did not provide for 2 speed operation. |

I guess they had ceased production of the one speed motor by this time and they used 2 speed motors for everything including 1 speed machines in production. I know it’s been the norm for some time now from multiple manufacturers to replace 1 speed motors with 2 speed motors as a service replacement.

Do you still have this machine? the tech sheet and motor would give away the cycle sequence and speed involved. Whirlpool had many variations of fast/slow agitation in the normal cycle and fast/slow spin combos in the PP cycle. I remember around this period Whirlpool offered many one speed direct drives with a delicate cycle that was 10-15 seconds of agitation followed by soaks.

Admiral model ATW4475TQ0 ... The original motor P/N is stated as 8528157. Pics of a used specimen on eBay (with that number on the label) indicates it is a 2-speeder ... RPMs of 1,725 and 1,140. 8528157 substitutes now to WP661600, which is also 2-speed. HOWEVER, the wiring diagram and timer sequence chart (W10118358 Rev B. which is also tagged for Estate ETW4300TQ0) indicates motor wiring for 1-speed. Gentle Wash is intermittent agitation. |

Right, did the OP actually look at the motor itself or is something else leading him to reach that conclusion? I'm not doubting the OP, just curious as to how he reached that conclusion. A two speed motor only run as single speed is an interesting piece of Whirlpool history.

I believe they've switched to the vmw on the admiral line as with the maytags and everything else they make as of late. |
