Westinghouse top loader 1970

This earlier prehistoric model has some noticeable differences from the later ones: The agitation and spin speed are slower due to a smaller motor pulley that was used on early models. Also note the pre-pump solenoid that allows for a neutral drain before spin. What this solenoid does is release the tension from the idler arm then once disengaged, it then spins.

Does the drum index at all during the wash/rinse cycle?

[eddy1210]

Yes it does, but not very strong, I know it's a little hard to tell in the vid.

@eddy1210I find that the agitation with the blue agitator was way better than the with one. Am I correct?

[eddy1210]

@frezzalata The blue one was much better, you are right!

Nice double agitator. Does the straight vane agitator belong to Westinghouse or Frigidaire?

Eddy, now you have not 3 but 4 new agitators. If you remove the superior part of straight vane agitator you gets a new agitator. Enjoy.

[eddy1210]

That's true Rodrigo. The straight vane agitator belongs to the Westinghouse.  Even the 5 vane agitator in my White Westy fits this too.

Fridgidaire bought out what was left of White consolidated industries, mainly Westinghouse appliance division, the transmission design can be found in Tappan, Amana and Frigidaire names, now under Electrolux!
