    Last repair ( at least I hope for awhile anyway) was the drain hose. It had the original Frigidaire drain hose with the brass threaded end. It was in too bad of a shape to save so I trashed it. Went to Home Depot and pieced together a brass and PVC fitting that worked out well.

    The next repair was the water valve--- it did'nt work at all. Took it apart and soaked all the guts in vinegar overnight. Next day took a toothbrush to it, cleaned it up, put it back together and it worked like a charm.

    The set had to have some needed repairs by me. First the timer would not advance. There was a poor design flaw in the fill flume. They put the fill flume right next to the controls on the inside of the control panel with no barrier. When the washer fills the water tends to splash on the...
