Frigidaire 1-18 comment/GE question

[roto204]

Yeah...

Greg, Robert, and Austin--Mine makes the lights pulsate too, and pounds like a diesel engine.

Ross' doesn't, though, and his is very quiet. Until it came along, I had no proof that mine was a touch odd...er...well, worn-out, I guess.

I'd bet mine does need a new agitate arm...*sigh*

Frigidaire 1-18 Poppy Set

Barry,
Best of Luck - my favorate washer is the 1/18.
My aunt also had a poppy set a litte older than this set a 1974 set. It didn't have the window. My Aunt had the basement wall painted poppy to match the washer / dryer.
Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Barry, Greetings from another fellow Ohio appliance collector. Your 1-18 set in poppy is just stunning, and with a window lid too! Yes, I have noticed that some 1-18's make the lights flicker, in the same 60cps type of flicker in conjunction with the JetCone going up and down. I had sold one years ago to a friend, and had to replace it with another washer after his many complaints of it making the lights flicker during the wash cycle. I think certain wiring installations are more sensitive to that than others. Actually, I kind of find it facinating!

Just occurred to me, this is the same set Steve 1/18 picked up outside of D.C. when we were at the 2002 convention--right down to the color!!!
