Frigidaire WO-65 Unimatic Washer

[trainguy]

PLEASE MAKE AN OFFER!

This washer came out of a kitchen of a house. As the story goes, the lady had a wringer washer and a mangle. Her son bought her this washer and a Hamilton dryer for Christmas. The serviceman hooked up the washer ran water in it. He let it pulsate for a moment and then let it spin. The lady was frightened by the spin and never used the washer.

OMG

I can't believe that machine is Brand New. I've always wanted a Unimatic. Just Beautiful.

**WOW**

This is gonna be quite the bidding war!!!

Spectacular!
It may not have the gorgeous console of the Ultra-Clean, but it will do everything a Unimatic can do (love the "salt-shaker" detergent column in these!). What a wonderful example to have in a collection. I use my WO-65-2 as one of my "daily drivers" and it is wonderful!
It is thought by many that the extra extraction and rinse afforded by the WO-65's provides a more effective rinse than the -2 with a single overflow rinse.
I see this particular example comes with the optional (and hard to find) anti-vibration shoes that some people needed for wooden floor installations.
An excellent opportunity!

GOOD GOD

GASP!

Is this in the Pittsburgh area? It wouldn't be THAT far to get it trucked into Ogden...

 

[joelippard]

Oh My!

I never thought I would lay my eyes on such a thing! Too bad I can't afford it. It does make me want for a Unimatic though. I've heard the stories though about the tangling and knotting issues...

 

[tuthill]

I've heard the stories though about the tangling and kno

I've done over 25 loads in my Unimatic and I have noticed NO TANGLING. It's not an issue. They are the most fabulous, purpose-built washing machine ever made.

 

[joelippard]

I think I may have to have one of those to keep my 1-18 company

I helped move one of these suckers once. They must weigh in at 300 lbs. I love the full porcelain cabinets.

Tangling and knotting is all about loading and timing. I assumed for years that the problem was with the machine----until I learned a few easy to remember tips.
You have to learn to put sheets, large towels, long legged pants or long-sleeved shirts, etc. into the machine properly. Imagine the tub divided into four sections. Take the item and drop it straight down into a "section" of the tub long-end first. Remember the tremendous roll-over created by the pulsator is rolling the clothes directly from top to bottom----not from side to side! And it does so many times faster than an ocillating agitator!

Also, it doesn't take as long a wash cycle to get the clothes clean most of the time. If you set sheets on a "Heavy Soil" wash they are likely to tangle after all that time! I find a Hot wash with 1/2 cupful of Foca or Viva will clean sheets perfectly on a "Light Soil" setting. Never tangles!

Don't let anything stop you from going after this jewel!

I would like to know what people do...

to prevent tangling and knotting. I load the machine just the way it says and it is a nightmare. Dress shirts are the worse and not only do the sleeves twist, but they tie up with other sleeves. I like these machines for towels and mixed loads.

I think I just--need a cigarette. I'm shaking.
