1-18 repair and wash pics

[fridgiman]

Was doing a load in my 1-18 when the timer decided to stop advancing in the middle of the cycle. Luckily, I was able to advance it by hand and finish the load. After a little searching I was able to find a new timer.
Here's a pic of the old timer in place.

They moved the positioning of the leads on the new timer. Good thing I took a pic of the old timer as a reference !

The spray and the rinse fill are fabulous: you shot & got wh

Your old and broken timer looks so brand spankin' new--what are you? a hygienist or something?;"D

How many sets of sheets. Several is quite a few, you know.

I met Jack, Jimmy's good friend from Akron. What s story! Do you know him, too? I'd like to talk to you and Jimmy soon, if possible. Be more than happy to come early to help prepare for a wash-in. It's less than 3 hours from here to Jimmy's.

Didn't know the 1-18 sprayed during rinse. Someone said no. Does it vary from model to model, or was the dude mistaken?

Great and grand photography, Man !

I had the exact same thing happen to mine. I was able to just replace the timer motor but also located new timers for sale. I still haven't bought a new timer for a spare $$$ but the timer motors are pretty easily found. Nice pictures guys, there is nothing like a GM/Frigidaire!
