for short periods intermittently in the wash cycle the preferred laundry washing machine implementing the present invention includes the capacity to circulate wash liquor from the lower portion of the wash tub to pour or spray the wash liquor onto the laundry load from a location above the laundry load for example a conduit may lead from the lower portion of the tub to a spray nozzle overhanging the wash basket at the upper edge of the tub a lower end of the conduit may be supplied with wash liquor from the lower portion of the tub by a pump the pump may be a separate recirculating pump or may be the drain pump with a diverter valve selectively supplying wash liquor to a drain hose or to the recirculation conduit in the case of this preferred laundry device it is preferred that the inverse toroidal rollover wash pattern is established after an initial period of circulating wash liquor without agitation this period may include the period prior to there being sufficient wash liquid to establish inverse toroidal rollover for example in the most preferred machine including floating disconnection between the spin basket and drive shaft circulation can occur in the period before disconnection the period of circulation without agitation may go on beyond this initial float period according.
