The listed features for this Frigidaire include a timer option for a small load, which reduces the amount of water in the tub. But one of the sales features is how the machine deals with lint - it floats away. Was this like the solid-tub GE's in that with a reduced water level there was no lint removal?

The washwater level may have been small in small and it may have reached the overflow stage at the end of the wash overflow fill. Back the rents water level was full and overflowing unless the owner manually advanced the time filled rents. So in theory the rents was the real overflow but the post rimp's spin could have also caused an off balance due to this full type of water and small load.

I believe the deep rinse cycle has a non stop fill in order for the lint and suds to flow over the top. The timer runs at a quicker speed for the small load feature. |

Does this washer have a rubber cover for the agitator top that one removes to put the detergent and other laundry agents in? Our first washer had that. It was an early 60s Frigidaire like the one in the PD but in white. Sunny yellow would have be divine for sure.
One time, I was like 3 years old and watching my mother fill the washer, she took off the rubber top but before she could reach for the detergent and put some in it started going up and down and water jumped up out of the center. She quickly pushed the timer to turn it off.
I used to squeeze into the space between the sink and the washer and stand on the big pipe that came up from the cement floor so I could see inside the tub.
Picture is exactly how it was laid out but we had a early 60s Frigidair washer and early 60s MT electric dryer with a checker board green and black 9x9 tiled basement floor. Remember it like it was yesterday even though it was 1970.
