Did any vintage Maytag washers offer an extra rinse option? |

Hello all I just wanted to ask a quick question, I’m looking to find a new washer and dryer soon, and of course not new but new to me used. I’ve always been very interested in the older mid to late 80s Maytags with the blue powerful agitator, but I always wondered if they ever made a model of any kind with an extra rinse button or option? Yes of course I’m sure I can just turn the dial to rinse but if I’m doing other things and not standing watching my washer for an entire cycle it’s more convenient to have a button that takes care of it for you and I have a feeling I’ve seen a few models with an extra rinse button before but maybe it was something else of another type of option.
If I can’t find any Maytags then I’ll have to resort to SQ models which are already extremely rare to find used. After having direct drive models my whole life (which I love them and will still keep mine) besides an intrusion by a cabrio that wasn’t my decision to get, I’m ready to own something different that I’ve not had or been around much before like the older Maytags and SQ models or the newer SQ models and just want to see if anyone has any recommendations and if the extra rinse was ever a thing with Maytag back in the days. It just doesn’t seem local used appliance stores ever have these older ones all they usually ever have are direct drives. | ||

As I recall, Maytag was late in the second rinse game. If I remember right, it was offered on the electronic control stacks in the mid to late 80's. It didn't hit the regular full sized/separate models until 1990. Even then it was only offered on the upper end models. It wasn't until the mid 90's that it became a bit more mainstream.

WOW
Learn something new everyday.
So the MT all push button 900 models did not offer extra rinse and if I remember right there were only two water levels and they were timed fills. Kenmore was offering second rinse back in the 60s I wonder about Frigidaire and Whirlpool. I know WP had models with extra rinse in the 70s | ||

As for Frigidaire, they offered a 2nd rinse option button for the first time on their Custom Imperial Model for 1965 and did so for all Custom Imperial Models through the 1/18 series. The MT900 all-pushbutton models had a rinse & spin button that could be used as a 2nd rinse atfter the primary cycle as complete. The TOL mechanical Dependable Care (such ass the match to my former LDE9824 dryer--which would have been the LAT9824) offered 2nd rinse after the first rinse on the regular cycle only. The last generation of the Depndable Care models offerend 2nd rinse option on all major cycles. As did their NorgeTag (can we say Atlantis) models too.
