Abstract: A washing machine including a wash tub, a basket rotatably coupled within the wash tub, an agitator coupled within the basket, and a controller is provided. The controller is configured to receive user defined settings for a wash cycle, send a signal to add, to the wash tub, a first quantity of water based on the user defined settings, send a signal to execute a wash agitation for a predefined period of time based on the user defined settings, send a signal to drain water from the wash tub, and initiate a rinse cycle by sending a signal to add, to the wash tub, a second predefined quantity of water that is less than the first predefined quantity of water.

Abstract: A high side portion of a refrigeration system is supported on a support member which includes a drop-in rotary compressor mounting arrangement wherein the compressor is resiliently supported in a containment area with its axis in a vertical position. The mounting arrangement includes a vibration isolating support member located in the containment area having a plurality of spring cylinders which when interposed between the compressor and support member results in a desirable bulging of the cylinder walls which provides torsional and vertical vibration isolation of the compressor.

Abstract: In a hermetic compressor there is provided a resilient retainer member adapted to removably secure a terminal receptacle block assembly and a thermal overload protector relative to the compressor casing. The receptacle block assembly is adapted to engage conductor pins of an electrical terminal secured to the upper wall of the casing while the overload protector is adapted to engage the upper wall of the casing. The retainer member includes a first leg portion dimensioned to engage the thermal overload protector and a second leg portion dimensioned to engage the terminal receptacle block whereby downward pressure on the retainer member secures both the overload protector and terminal receptacle block relative to the casing.

Abstract: This invention relates to a refrigerator and more particularly to providing a unitary high-side refrigeration system component unit which can be adapted for mounting in machinery compartments of different designs. Essentially, the unitary high-side refrigeration component unit is designed so that selected high-side components forming refrigeration systems of varying capacities may be assembled as a part of the unit or interchanged to be accommodated in machine compartments of different designs.

Abstract: A high-side portion of a refrigeration system is supported on a condensate collecting tray formed in a single piece of molded plastic which includes in combination a condensate water overflow containment area and a drop-in rotary compressor mounting arrangement wherein the compressor is resiliently supported in the overflow containment area with its axis in a vertical position in a manner which provides torsional and vertical vibration isolation, the containment area being dimensioned so that only an overflow of condensate water will come in contact with the compressor.
