Hotpoint "Rim-Flo"
The Hotpoint rim-flo system as viewed with the top open. The outer tub is fixed to the machine and the inner tub moves via a flexible boot and cable suspension system. It is imperative that this machine be on something solid.
The white tub collar has a perforated bottom and water is pumped from the tub during the wash cycle into the ring via a 90 degree plastic flume at the 1 o'clock position. Lint and other muck stay trapped in the ring during the wash cycle. When the machine enters the spin cycle, the muck is forced outward into the outer tub by centrifugal force. The spray rinse also forces fresh water into the ring during the spin cycle to flush it out. This is basically the self-cleaning version of the GE Filter-Flo.
