GM Frigidaire agittub washer
These were interesting machines, they were engineered and built to be as cheap to build as possible, they were extremely trouble prone I remember Frigidaire dealer I knew here in Maryland. They sold 48 skinny minis the first year and ran 52 service calls under warranty to give you an idea of the horrible reliability of that machine. The dryer also had a lot of problems.
This machine did have a water level switch to protect against flooding, but it did not water level that the user could control.
The agitation was reasonably effective, if you loaded it lightly, or if the items weren’t very dirty, they would appear to have been freshened up when they came out.
We have a first year 1969 machine in the museum in avocado, through the help of other members I found an entire brand new washer mechanism that I installed in it because I did not wanna have to go through trying to repair or rebuild one of these washer mechanisms, Frigidaire used to sell the entire washer mechanism because they were so difficult to repair once water got into them.
