Frigidaire 1-18 parts...

[hippiedoll]

Well the Poppy Red Frigidaire FRAN ended up springing a leak and wouldn't go into the final spin dry. The motor would just groan but no spinning of the tub. I had to let her sit for a few hours, for the rollers to dry, so she would spin the tub.

So she was sold to a fellow washing machine enthusiast that is close by. And now FRAN has had another cabinet transplant, and a 3rd chance at life.

So I have some 1-18 parts for sale:
A 2-speed motor (1973)
A jet cone agitator (minor cone edge bumps) 1973
The CUSTOM control panel from the Almond Frigidaire 1-18
The Almond Frigidaire windowed-lid
I'll have to see if I have any other parts.

I wanted to let fellow Frigidaire 1-18 enthusiasts/collectors know these parts are available to hopefully keep other Frigidaire 1-18 washers bouncing away
☺

Hi Christina, sorry to hear about FRAN. Do you have a pic of the control panel? Also, would you have a fabric softener dispenser?

Frigidaire 1-18

Christina - I am sorry to hear about Fran!

 

[repairguy]

Christina, I’m sorry for your loss of Fran. She was a beauty. Glad you were able to give her another chance at life by passing her on.

Sorry to hear that Fran didn't make it... Was it the tub seal that went?  That seems to be a common cause of leaks in 1-18s....

 

Would you happen to still have a the lint filter?  I'd definitely be interested if you do!

 Bigalsf:

Control panel pics.
Also I don't have a 1-18 fabric softener dispenser. But I do have what I believe is the fabric softener dispenser for the smaller/narrower jetcone agitator, if someone is interested in that, brand new in the box?
I could never get it to fit onto my 1-18 agitator.

Peteski50/Peter:

Thank you.
I had my fun getting to use FRAN and the first Custom Almond Frigidaire 1-18 washers. I never dreamed I would see one in person, let alone get to use one!
So I had my fun and am happy to keep other 1-18 washers bouncing away

 

[hippiedoll]

Repairguy/Melvin:

Thank you for your message. It's definitely been an experience getting to use FRAN

 

[hippiedoll]

turquoisedude/Paul:

Thank you for your message.
That's what me & Roger believe is what happened with FRAN, a tub seal leak.

As for the lint filter, FRAN'S lint filter went with her. And I never had a lint filter for the Almond CUSTOM.
So I'm sorry but no, I do not have the lint filter.

Oh No,

Christina,
Im so sorry about Fran,

Im inerested in the jetcone, for a spare one.. Will it fit the 1976 ?
Chris

Laundryboy/Chris:

Thank you.
Yes, I'm sure the jetcone agitator will fit your 1976 Frigidaire.

If it won't, I'm sure someone will chime in and let us know otherwise.

Window lid

Hi there... So sorry for your loss! If it is still available, I would be interested in the window lid..

 

[hippiedoll]

Phmorrow/Pat:

I'm so sorry, but someone already contacted me about the windowed-lid.


I'll make a list of the parts already spoken for right now.

Again, sorry...

Such sweet parting...

sorry to hear about it, they are such fun, but at least it was enjoyed for awhile!
We have a Harvest Crown W-2 '75 1-18 that sprung a leak as soon as we tried to see if it worked when we got it, so it sits neglected for now. PhilR and I made a 6 hour expedition to far Eastern Quebec to get a NOS tub seal from a closed FD dealer, so we do have the part now for when we can get to the repair, as well as a perfect tub to replace ours that has a chip and consequent rust in the tub bottom. Hoping to get it back doing it's turnover thing one of these days!

 

[turquoisedude]

Roger, I do believe I have a 1-18 tub that will fit... One of the 'junk' machines rescued from Appliances Unlimited back in 2014 got parted out and I swear I kept the tub.  It's in the shed in Ogden and after today's storm I may not be able to get to it until July but please remind me about this, especially when I roll by to pick up that GE 'Holy Grail' dishwasher that you've been ever so patiently storing for me.

Sorry to hear of Fran's loss. It's been a hectic year. If only a vaccine could save these old appliances.

It's great of you to part this out. I'm sure Fran would have wanted it this way.

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Christina/Hippiedoll, sorry about your loss!

Yes, I, too was tickled Poppy Red while Fran ran good, so I'm hoping that the consolation of your newer AlmndI will eternally wash and last...

firedome/Roger:

Thank you. Yes FRAN was enjoyed as I threw monster loads at her to plunge through!
I hope you get your Harvest Crown 1-18 up & running. Can't wait to read about your progress and completion (& see videos too)!

bradfordwhite/Keith:

Thank you. Boy! Did you hit the nail on the head (for some of us anyway) about this passed year...

My wish is for everyone here to be safe & healthy this year.
