DDFan92 has the direct drive version of that machine. I personally think the belt drives washed and rinsed better than their direct drive successors since there wasn’t a spray rinse on the first spin, at least with the later direct drive washers. Only thing about those belt drives is you have to be careful with detergent dosages or else you’ll end up with a suds lock.

I picked up a heavily used one from a St.Vincent DePaul store in Madison, WI around 1998 that looked like this with that panel. It was for a rental property. At that point my experience was with DD's that would have a neutral drain.
This didn't have a neutral drain, just went right into spin drain and I thought it was broken because of that. Did the belt drives have a neutral drain? |

Had just read this thread and while in my travels yesterday, spotted a 24" belt drive in an antique store basement.
I always liked the 24" WP/KM machines, the matching 24" dryers came and went through the years but were even more rare to see in the wild. I think I've seen less than a handful, including 2 in a collection some years ago.
