wow You are getting this, right Dan? They don't get any mintier than this would be! Patrick

Best tutorial ever in above link! Robert, I should have put the link you have just given when giving my advice as I owe all my knowledge to you and for you documenting and posting that very link. Thank you again Robert for sharing your vast knowledge. I agree on the possibility of a leak...

Pump cover back in place and ready for screws to be tightened. Make sure to take notice of screw hole pattern when reinstalling cover. I have not had any more leaks since replacing this. Let me know if you have any more questions. Patrick

Pump cover with new cork gasket cut and ready to be installed.

Make sure the top of your pump is dry and no water is leaking from where the motor shaft goes into the pump before you start all this. If in fact it is only leaking from the bottom cover gasket then don't remove or disturb the impeller. If you don't have to disturb the impeller you wont have...

Justin, I replaced the gasket on my Unimatic and it really was quite easy. Get some cork gasket material from an Auto Parts store then after you remove the bottom crossbrace and snubber spring you loosen and remove the pump cover. Have a pan under it to catch the water as you remove the...

Candyland! Kevin, Oh it was Candyland when I was there for the wash-in so I guess now it's like a never ending sugar high! LOL I can only imagine there is barely room to squeeze through to see all the stuff. Even so, you do keep finding some wonderful machines. You are definitely the KING of...

I know the complete replacement part # is 4163370. I don't think you can glue this part back in place from similar previous issues. These parts are sadly no longer available but you may be able to search the web, ebay, or local parts stores for leftover inventory. Good luck, Patrick

Hello Moderncleveland Great progress on getting these machines up and back in service. I love it when everyone rallies to help. You will fall in love with these machines. Have fun with them! Patrick

Great work Paul. I would have never thought such a retrofit could be done. Props to John for the suggestion! Patrick

Wow Kevin Your washer area must be like "candyland" about now! What a great haul you got there. Enjoy those avocado Lady's! Patrick

I still have the manuals that I ordered from Frigidaire back then.

My first Frigidaire's I looked a long time for these pictures and finally found them. Unfortunately back in the early 1980's when I took the photos the camera quality wasn't that great and I wasn't thinking in terms of details. This is a WCDA3T washer. It was designated as a "16" on the...

Here is a similar machine I had but is badged 1-18. Sorry I couldn't tell you the model number though. I gave the machine to Kelly so maybe he can look at the model tag and post a clearer picture of the control panel. Patrick

Jon - Great video as usual. You have an amazing collection! The Bendix Duomatic looks fabulous - love the indicator lights. That Easy Spiralator is amazing too. Any signs of chipping yet? I'm assuming it's painted aluminum like the Spindriers. Correct me if I'm wrong. I see you're...

Great job Phil! Happy you found it for everyone to see. Patrick

I saw a new Frigidaire commercial tonight on TV. It was for their new Symmetry double oven range but the commercial itself was done very well. They did a kind of a history showing old products from the GM era, even a skinny-mini Laundry Center. Then they did a flash of a lot of the old...

Very Nice Paul! Cute video and you really can see the different speeds. The spin looks and sounds great too. Patrick

Great machine Paul! I've always wanted to see one of these in person and "depress" the selector buttons. I'm sure the seals in the water valve have just dried out from non-use. Hopefully you can find replacements. Enjoy! Patrick

It's beautiful Jon! Don't you love it when you find something as preserved as this is. I wonder if when the belt snapped this is why they stopped using it? Could have been the start of the "it's broken, let's get a new one" mentality. How lucky for you. All the best! - Patrick
