Frigidaire - CL Finds

mikael3 · Feb 2, 2015

That Cookmaster dial is a devil, especially when it’s old. The clock and timer on my Frigidaire don’t work at all, so I thought I was immune from this problem. But one day, my oven simply wouldn’t heat up. Because I’d read about Cookmaster problems, I decided to advance the clock and fiddle with the Cookmaster dials. After a bit of that, lo and behold, the oven started working again. Obviously something is loose back there that I need to fix.

The moral of the story is that you should always check the Cookmaster when you’re oven suddenly stops working, even when it looks like everything is set correctly.

While the International Register clocks that Frigidaire used on some 1961 and most of it's 1962 and newer models are quite durable, the oven timer contacts are quite small and tend to burn. I fixed a few of these but many repairman just cancel the timer and simply bypass them. That's quite an easy fix. You just have to remove the 4 screws holding the wires for the oven and join them in pairs on two screws and leave the two other contacts unused.

I inquired about the range in Vermont. The seller answered me immediately, the clock isn't working and it might need a few things fixed but since it's free... It's just too far from me as it's two hours south of Burlington VT.

That turquoise set in #82 is so beautiful it makes me weep. I think it’s been for sale for a really long time, but this looks like a better price.

The range and refrigerator in reply #82 have been around for quite some time now - but the price has dropped. They may be needing to find some $$$ to pay taxes with... Ya never know!

I'm tempted to pick up one of those '63s for parts. I have a sunny yellow version that I do not want to replace ever. The stove is built like a tank!

PhilR...

too bad it's not summer, you could come down to VT and we'd go and get that range for you! Maybe they would save it for you?

philr · Feb 6, 2015

I wanted it for parts and they can't keep it... That's fine, I don't need that many parts I guess!!

nice range, not so nice price...pink :-(

A nice Frigidaire range but way over-priced at $750. Maybe some movie studio in nearby LA will buy it if they're filming "The Jane Mansfield Story." In San Diego.

I just don't care for pink. I don't think it's good for my image. I won't even let the Mary Kay lady park in front of my house when she comes to drop off my order.

Both the Horizon 2000 washer and the dishwasher are WCI built. I've removed a couple of these from cabinets to find they had been leaking so badly, the rotten floors had to be rebuilt under them.

Leaking WCI DWs

Greg is correct about leaking WCI DWs, these machines were badly designed and assembled, we would see machines only a few years old leaking at about every place possible, especially where anything attaches to the cheap porcelain tank. These WCI DWs actually made a D&M DW look not so bad, LOL.

Appliance hidden lives

WCI DW and the Frigidaire washer repairs or problems….the repair business helps to illuminate the otherwise lost in the vault information.

Speaking for a few oldsters still living who worked around the brand many years ago when the parts came in blue and yellow boxes, I've always felt Frigidaire died when General Motors sold it to a sewing machine company.
