FYI, there's an orangy-yellow shadow on the picture, but it's just from the lighting in the laundry room. There's no discoloration on the washer/dryer.

Reluctantly, I am letting go of my matched set, mid-1970s vintage Frigidaire washer and electric dryer. They are white with woodgrain control panels (even though they look beige in the photo). This set was built like a tank, it has lasted 30+ years and has many more loads to go! I have the set...

I have Frigidaire 1-18 washer and dryer, matched set, that I use every day. They are in great condition--no rust, no dents, no missing or broken knobs, all the dispenser parts are still on the agitator, all the cycles work--even the dryer buzzer works. Lately the dryer drum keeps slipping off...

Well, we have a dilemma. We have replaced the therodisc under the front panel, but still no heat. (Before the replacement, we were not getting power through it, but now we are.) Checked the high limit; it has voltage through it, and continuity. Elements have continuity. Breaker is on, both legs...

We did check the breaker--but it's fine; wish it had been that easy! We're getting power going into the high-limit switch, but no power coming out. Plus just before the dryer quit heating, there was a load that got really, really hot and smelled scorched (certainly exceeded the 130-degree limit...

Thanks! Tried several local parts houses, but no luck. I did find a collection of old Frigidaire dryer parts on ebay, including FOUR of the parts I needed. They're on the way--I'll figure out what will fit our dryer (for future use), and then see if anyone here needs the parts that remain.

I have a Frigidaire 1-18/Model WC matched set (white) that I use everyday. Unfortunately, the dryer has stopped heating. The elements are OK; we think it's the thermostat control disc -- kind of a relay, I think -- located just under the lower panel on the front of the dryer. I'm searching the...

Thanks! Thanks so much! That's exactly what we needed! FYI, there's a great retro GE wall oven (yellow) on ebay--looks like late 1950s. Really nice..

Frigidaire 1-18 Thanks for the info! We're reasonably sure that we know the path for the belt, but it looks like the belt may have been "chewed" a little from contacting something it shouldn't have. So we want to be sure when we put it back that it's in the right place. We're in Springfield...

I have a Frigidaire 1-18 matched set (white) that I use everyday; they work beautifully! (We "inherited" them with our house.) The belt on the washer has broken. (It may have been the original--it's marked "Frigidaire 0638600DF"). Could anyone here point me to a source for a diagram that shows...
