Other than those, UGH... I think Amana makes a decent agiator TL washer that kind of works like old school ones... but they are so cheaply made

In a world with Joy, Liberty, Freedom, Beauty open to the ideals of human progress; this what the controls in Ryne's washer would actually look like:

Ryne, considering your current washer is so new the rest of the components should be able to last a good 5-10 years. I'd replace the electronic control and as others have said I'd use the money for other needed essentials.  

If everyone was like me, Whirlpool would have long ago (at minimum) re-tooled their direct drive lineup putting forth what people actually desire. This right below would be their best selling model in 2025. Full user control, Metal Invensys timer, no electronics, direct drive mechanism, DA, spin-drain, white porcelain on steal basket, porcelain coated spill proof top, commercial grade clutch and motor coupler, 1 HP motor, fast charge fill water valves,  5 year parts and labor warranty. With consumers demanding it, it would happen. 

Better yet, actually, if everyone was like me the dependable cares would be back in production with zero cheapening. One can only dream absent a revolution.  

In this particular concept model, no. All 3 cycles come with with a spray rinse only. However, there would be other models where some or all the cycles offer a deep rinse. 

The beauty here is that you have two options to remedy this.

First all these various models would have a molex connector separating the top and standardized bottom half of the wiring harness. If somehow you ended up with a spray rinse only washer on your property, you could order a complete control panel (that also comes with an upper harness) at a reasonable cost and just swap the whole control panel for a deep rinse version.

The other option would be just replace the timer with a deep rinse version. Contacts 0TM-12TM are standardized and would be physically interchangeable with about 14 other timers having the same contact sequence and position. Of these 14, two other versions which give deep rinsing would technically fit the fascia markings as well. 

So transplants would be easy, and even the norm in service work.

Here is an example of what a complete control panel would look like using Speed Queen as an example with its molex connector:

John, I appreciate your constructive criticism and I have to say I agree with you 100%. While in my inference I think a harness molex connector is far less likely to fail than those flimsy undersized modern board connectors; a molex connector is still one more component which can fail that would otherwise not fail if it were not present. 

This is what I like about your insight, you're good at identifying potential failure points.

What I would keep standard across a dozen models is the timer connector. A single timer block would be able to electrically, physically and functionally mate with a dozen differing timers.

Agiflow, I went back to the drawing board and took your wish into account.

I added a regular cycle with a deep rinse and a generous 1 minute spray rinse to compliment that. I also sub-divided the sprays in the water saver cycle to better aid in detergent rinsing. Let me know if this is better, and what you would like to see offered. 

Of note, I know that the wash fill periods are 6 minutes in duration, but in reality they would be around 4 minutes before the start of agitation. The timer typically lands about 2 minutes into the fill period from the lead in period to account for error and decal variants.

OP, keep your washer as it offers both deep and spray rinse cycles IIRC.

Jerome I would say Whirlpool's best washers were Kenmore and Kitchen-Aid with the wash/spin selector combination switch and dual action agitator. In fact I'd say these were the best washers ever created over-all in that it they were very strong in all categories. Higher end Kitchen-Aids and Kenmores  offered all the wash/spin combinations you could ever need, all the cycles you could ever use, cleaned the best, had excellent capacity, lasted 15-20 years easily, and had a great suspension system. They were easy to fix too. As with every perfected timeless classic it was short lived. Whirlpool eventually discontinued these perfected high end direct drive Kenmore and Kitchen-Aids. I bitterly miss them.     

Jerome, what do you think about single cycle washers? A hearty deep rinse cycle fits nicely on a 48 increment, 7.5 degrees per step, incremental advance timer. Those are my favorite timers. 

1 step equals 60 seconds in the following sequence.

1 step lead in

6 steps fill

14 steps wash

2 steps spin

1 step spray and spin

1 step spin

4 steps fill

4 steps deep rinse

8 steps spin

1 step timer lead out

6 steps timer off period

With the timer dial landing 3 steps from off when set to start the fill period before the wash is about 4 minutes. So the cycle time is 38 minutes total. There is no spray rinse after the final deep rinse so your softener stays put. Long wash for dirty clothes and a hearty final spin for big towel loads.

Do you like it Jerome? Let me know if my concept comes out ok in text to voice. You've got the best tastes in laundry. 

Thanks! I love the 1 minute spray rinse before the deep rinse, it gets all the extra suds out.

Eddie, your washer is based around an old school deep fill washer and essentially does just that. The clothes in your washer are suspended in water. I think what Jerome is referring to are agitator-less impeller washer that mimic the water consumption of a front load washer.

@John300m: I guess you've never heard of cherry picking. Or people payed to review products. Or AI moderation. Or terms of service which essentially forbid having a sharp tongue or a critical review. Reviews on company sites are the Walt Disney World equivalent of public opinion. 

I think HE comes from the normal cycle using spray rinses instead of a deep rinse. In addition to (possibly) restricted hot water use on the normal cycle. I like the concept of spray rinses, I think it works well with typical loads to the point all washers should have at least one realistic spray rinse cycle. 

Auto fill works well and Whirlpool perfected on your machine.

What model and year was your Kenmore? It sounds like you either had a single speed machine or one where the cottons/normal cycle was fast/fast. Around 1994(ish) Kenmore re-labelled the fast/fast cycle as "Heavy Duty" and made a slow/fast cycle labelled "normal" This concept carried through until the DD line came to an end. On the Whirlpool side of things both high and low agitation was included in a normal cycle instead of just fast agitation as done previously.

Jerome, think 1970s-1980s Maytag with their one minute long spray rinse that produced near clear water in the deep rinse after a sudsy wash. 

Some loads like bulky items I think work better on deep rinse. Others like causal everyday loads and cottons I think can obtain equal rinsing results with half the water of a deep rinse.

Right now I'm fact finding the average rinse fill time for a full load of typical everyday clothes, taking that number and dividing by either 0.5, 0.33 or 0.25 then trying to come up with a good spray rinse sequence. I'm also researching different tub and basket perforations that could aid in spray rinsing. 

Given that spray rinsing can use less than half the water of a deep rinse, it is possible to use a warm or cool spray rinse instead of tap cold without using to much energy. IMO warm rinsing is where the real magic happens relaxing fibers increasing detergent carry away further reducing water consumption while leaving user with warm, fresh, garments that are east to handle while drying faster. In fact Whirlpool has even offered warm rinsing on their direct driver resource saving spray rinse washers.

I honestly would not mind seeing modern top-loads and their iterations with a reasonable 30/70 spray rinse on most of their cycles.

Jerome, I 100% believe you. There are many, many individuals who had and are having very poor luck with HE wet nap wash state impeller machine. It is of my belief there are way, way WAY more folks chastising HE machines than the internet currently shows with all the censorship and biased moderation going on outside of AW.org. 

If you really want to get results out of the top load concept while using the same amount of water as a front load go with a Calypso or Maytag Neptune dual impeller washer. Both were realistic attempts at vertical HE washing and they did their job remarkably well.  

I have no plans on owning a HE top loader but if I ever did, I'd get the same Kenmore Oasis as this person. I just really like the looks of it. I think from my understanding, they also make one with an agitator as well.
