CLOTHES WASHING MACHINE INCLUDING A HIGH DETERGENT CONCENTRATION WASH CYCLE ABSTRACT This invention relates to automatic clothes washing machines, and more particularly to an improved structure in such machines for affecting the washing of very small loads of clothing in a high detergent concentration. The clothes washing machine has wash, rinse and spin extraction operations including an outer imperforate tub, an agitator, a first basket within the tub, a second smaller basket disposed within the first basket and positioned on the agitator for movement therewith. There is also a water supply for feeding water into the machine, drive system for operating the agitator to effect washing of clothes and for rotating the basket to centrifugally extract water from the clothes. Water is allowed to flow from the basket to the tub and may be recirculated from the tub into the baskets. The improvement is a controlled recirculation system wherein only a predetermined volume of water is transferred from the outer tub to the small basket by the recirculation system. This allows clothes placed in the small basket to be washed in a high detergent concentration relative to the predetermined volume of water in the small basket and independent of the amount of water in the tub and to then be rinsed during continuous recirculation of water from the outer tub.
