1959 Frigidaire MultiMatic Service Manual

[Unimatic1140]

Here is a 1959 Frigidaire Tech-Talk Service Manual for the new Multi-Matic washers, it's a 27mb .pdf file so its quite large and was scanned at a high enough level that it should print quite nicely...

Gansky's favorite!

Well, I have a WI-59 I need to get busy working on, so I don't think I'll gloat quite yet!

This is an nice thing to have

Thanks for the manual. Slightly off-topic, how do you copy something(s) like that to a PDF file?

 

[bajaespuma]

The reason I ask is:

...now that I have a bunch of appliance manuals I'd like to copy and post them in that format.

Thanks Robert!! You know I eat this stuff up!!

Thanks for taking the time to scan and post Robert.

So, is there someone on the board who will be needing this soon? ;-)

So, is there someone on the board who will be needing this

Hmmmm, good question Ben, I believe there is someone out there who is gonna need this service manual real bad

It was created by scanning the pages and using Adobe Acrobat to assemble and save the document as a pdf book.

You forgot the page from the '64 Tech-Talk that the entire Multi-tragic mechanism can be replaced with a new Roller-Matic mechanism. Call your Frigidaire dealer for information and pricing today!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Hmmmph

the entire Multi-tragic mechanism can be replaced with a new Roller-Matic mechanism.

Ugh replace the nice quiet Multimatic with a noisy/rattling Roller-Matic, NEVER!

 

[gansky1]

Oh, I can't resist...

The only real solution:

Hehe!!

Loves it, Greg ;-)

 

[Unimatic1140]

Oh, I can't resist... The only real solution:

Uh huh, oh I've had those things before, ugh...

Now you know a Multitragic is a classic by the General himself, and comparison comes to mind of yet another classic by the General by the name of Chevy Vega, but that is another topic that belongs in the Super section......

Who would be barbaric enough to actually install a Rollermatic in place of a Multitragic???

FYI: One also needs the Rollermatic mechanism support to make the swap, as the "Tragamatic" support is too long, allowing the motor to touch the indentation in the outer tub.... Whoops!!! Did I say that??? <:

 

[gyrafoam]

Well I've had a least one Multi with that much oil under it before! But I agree with Robert about that noisy Roller mechanism.

Thank you Robert for taking time out of your morning to scan this

 

[gansky1]

and you would know this how?

You must be reading the doctrines of Frigidaire at bedtime, Rick!

;-)

and you would know this how?

I had a premonition Greg.

And after dealing with 2 of them, I decided that CHANGE was the one thing my 60 Custom Imperial needed! <:
