Great video... Ah... Love this washer... Washing Machines were so cool back then. Love the light up panel and all the mid century looks of the knobs.. Plus they did great job of agitation..
Wow! Loved this machine! It's already said but most of the brands do not make this 40/50 year lasting machines anymore (unless you pay above $5000). Here in Argentina in the 70's we had a top load machine (brand name Drean) with a stainless steal drum, no agitator and two paddles on the sides. The wash action was pretty unique, the hole drum would do almost half turn to each side with a lot of intensity. I'm forward to get one of them so I can make a good video. Love your channel! Bye!
@@johndevito2384 Well that's what happens when we place our trust completely into companies and governmental agencies. They exploit it and turn it into some sort of communist capitalism. Well I SHAN'T be following their tyrannical grabs for money. I'm keeping ALL of my machines no matter what. They're good machines too. 2009 Bosch WAE24470GB, 1990's Miele Novotronic W906(serial 33600196), 2016 Daewoo DWD-M301WP, 1959 Hoovermatic 3174. And a few camping machines that are plastic but at least have no PCB's, though there are far superior machines to them such as my Bosch Miele and Hoovermatic. The way out of this is we think before we purchase. We listen to individual people's opinions, and ALL opinions, positive and negative, we do NOT EVER think that authorities and businessmen know best(because they're trying to disempower us through manipulation by schools, the media, and so on...), and we do things OURSELVES to find out the truth. NEVER TO EVER rely on any big organisations for anything. And never ever to constantly rely on others either. And to be wild, have our own thoughts, draw our own conclusions. Not think "oh the businessmen and authorities know everything", be lazy and let them tell us lies that will end up causing us pain and getting them pleasure. Capitalism is F***ed.
@@agiflow6174 We shan't! They're not robbing MY wallet no no no, I'm not even going to have a bank account either. I'll keep my money wherever I wish to.
These had to be the most sensitive top loaders to suds lock. This era of Whirlpool/Kenmore washers were notorious for this. My mother's 1963 Kenmore from what I can remember did it a lot also. Those Surgilators and early bakelite straight vanes with a recirculating filter were the perfect combos for a major suds lock..lol.
pat cola: These washers sudslock very easily. Low sudsing(HE) detergents should be recommended for these washers. It's mainly first spin suds-locks. Usually after the rinse cycle it would finish the cycle normally.
@@albertcarello5489 It's the tight space between the inner and outer tubs. GE had a big space between inner and outer tubs and rinsed very well from what others have said.
@@patcola7335 Now I know why the GE washers handled suds really well and rinsed very well too! You would have watch though for suds going on your floor and having to wash your floor at the same time!
They only suds locked when detergent wasnt measured properly. I remember in those days we'd just arbitrarily sprinkle in what felt like enough. Big deal the rinse took care of it.
What great machines and I didn't mind cleaning the brush filter one bit. I liked the extra water flow through there and it made the machine more interesting to watch rather than in later years with the self cleaning filter, out of sight mounted on the out side of the tub and then later years after that, The Magic Clean lint filter that was underneath the basket on Whirlpool washers like a circle plastic comb Frisbee like filter.
The government must be sick and tired of these good machines and decided "oh, I want them to create the so called 'eco-friendly' machine that doesn't do a good job like those machines did."
And why can't people make grand old chrome and porcelein and enchanting-looking things like these vintage washing machines or anything from before the 21st century? As far as I know the older things look FAR more enchanting than all the cheap-looking modern plastic digital blocky square radioactive crap that is being made today. F*** modernity. F*** the economy. F*** capitalism. F*** companies. F*** authorities. F*** everything that takes all of the nice things away from us people.
Amazing machine. Love your videos how you alternate between the console and the wash tuckering so you can see it all! Maybe kick the water level up to medium for better circulation and gentler on the clothes?
It's really not a suds lock Gso, My mother's machine use to do this and it's because when you are washing towels they hold a lot of water and when the machine starts to spin it can't pump out the water fast enough before it picks up high speed so the pump gets full of water and slows the machine down until all of the water can get pumped out!!! Thanks for the great video and have a great day!!!
Robert Przbylowicz: This is the same type situation I had with my 1992 Maytag when that long spray rinse would cut in. No excess suds in the first rinse! The spin speed would pick up after the washer pumped out much of the water from that long spray rinse.
I saw a lot more Kenmore washers than Whirlpool growing up. I guess because of Sears easy credit. Whirlpool machines were generally more expensive to boot. I also like the fact while Sears changed agitators like I change underwear, Whirlpool stuck with the Surgilator all the way through the belt drive run for nearly 4 decades. This agitator had such style and was a cool looking design. They basically made a straight vane more interesting to look at.
@@Gsohoover From what I understand Sears had their own design and engineering teams . Unless you opened the lids on a Kenmore or Whirlpool, you couldn't see the family resemblance starting i believe when Kenmore went to side opening lids in the mid to late 50's.
The "Woo Woo" on this model has more of a growl to it. My grandma's model from 1970 had a higher pitch. As a child I would sit on the floor and press my ear to it.
A rule of thumb is to only use enough detergent to cover a thin layer of suds on the surface. Your clothes will still get clean and you will have a very clean rinse.
The machine will automatically shift gears when rpm’s are up enough for it to shift, let the machine do its thing. I used to work on these and Kenmore, Maytag, Speed Queen, GE, And Kelvinator with an older gentleman and we got them referbished nicely.
Awesome machine and video! The Surgilator/Super Surgilator was my all time favorite agitator. These machines are sure robust. Would you beable to do a load of a couple pair of jeans and use the high water level? I'd love to see it, thanks :)
College Debt Slavery-on kindle Whirlpool used the RCA name to establish themselves since companies such as Kenmore, GE, Maytag and Frigidaire were already established in the 1950’s and everyone was familiar with the RCA name but not the Whirlpool name since the Whirlpool name was only around since 1947 and Sears had their Kenmore name around for quite awhile before the Whirlpool name came about in 1947
@@Gsohoover I think Whirlpool also purchased a company from RCA at the time. Whirlpool was expanding into making a full line of kitchen appliances. Before the introduction of automatic washers, Whirlpool which was then before 1950 called the 1900 company produced wringer washers for Sears. The Sears/Whirlpool relationship goes back to when Whirlpool was known as Upton back in the 1920s.
Gsohoover before Whirlpool changed their name to Whirlpool they were The 1900 Company but I guess they changed it to Whirlpool since it sounded newer and more modern and the name The 1900 Company sounds like it would have something to do with a blacksmith or brewery company or something like that
@@patcola7335 Whirlpool made appliances because they bought Seeger Refrigeration out and Birtman electric. These two companies made small appliances and refrigerators for Sears. Whirlpool got ahold of them to produce all products for Sears.
Their spin speed is pretty average Not that it's going to ruin any clothes. My parents used to own a 1982 Kenmore 60 series and it too has an average spin speed.
Not a single one. I grew up with Direct-Drives. They are great machines and certainly have their place. I just don't want them as part of my collection. I hope to use these vintage machines for as long as possible.

I miss these washing machines. They actually got the job done.
Extremely excellent washing action!! Everything is moving around very well and everything is under the water.
These were washing machines that lasted a lifetime and washed like no one else, today's ones don't have the same technology as they used to

My mom always had Whirlpools. 40 minutes, start to finish, even with the second rinse!

In Brazil this machine was sold as Brastemp ,but This model it's from the 70 s yest
Love that machine. But it look's as though it need's more water??
I think it handled the load with ease. There really wasn't much in there.
Nice looking machine!
It sloshes water like the Kelvinator.
-Charles-
These new machines don’t hold a candle to the older machines for sure and the electronic ones are even worse.
looks same washer in Brazil brastemp luxo
I remember you mentioning washers from this sudslocking. This is the first seeing it. What makes it slow down so dramatically?
Suds are slowing down the tub.
Thanks. I thought it would more dramatic then that. That machine definitely a beauty.
@@andrewclarke3622 Not dramatic at all, the spin on these is quite lethargic.

Such powerful agitation with these machines, too bad there spin speed didn’t equal their wash strength.
Their excellent dryers made up for that.

I think the belt slipped.
Quite possible, I will look into it.
Do you have a whirlpool direct drive?
