Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Yesterday, I picked up another white 1971-72 RDE-38S 30" Deluxe Electri Clean range. It was really dirty but it's not so bad now... 

 

Serial Number: 76C51061

I just pulled this beauty out of mothballs to use as my daily driver. So far, I'm thrilled with its performance. I bought it about 5 years ago and I think I tested it to see if it worked but now that my "trusty" LG has temporarily( I hope) shit the bed, I decided I needed another capacious machine to do the week's wash. One unexpected surprise: AFAIK these 1-18's had a top spin speed of 650 rpm but as I was taking this machine through its paces I swear I heard a solenoid "CLUNK" during the first spin and then noticed the tub wind up to what I consider solid-tub rollermatic speeds. Did some of these machines have an enhanced spin???

Ken,

They didn't have a solenoid like the previous Rollermatic Rapidry 1000 models but the spin cycle always starts on slow to empty the tub and then the timer advances and the motor switches to faster speed. The Rollermatics with the Rapidry 1000 feature did it in 3 steps. First slow spin, second, the solenoid switched the spin rollers for faster speed and then the motor went to high speed.

 

See Ben's 1-18 in this video when it switches to high speed.



 

I did a few short videos of my 1-18 myself but none show it switching from low to high speed spin. 


 

 

BTW,  Ben, what do you think about that. These two serial numbers that I posted previously in this thread are from identical 1971-72 RDE-38S ranges. The first picture shows the serial number of the range I got two days ago and the other one shows the serial number of the one I already had.

1989 (or 1990) washer xc01640208

I was trying to get a picture ( or information) from someone out there about a basket or something that might help move closes around in my washer. Anyone?

Trying to find RE-38 serial number

Pretty sure I have an RE-38s (circa 1978), but having an impossible time finding model and serial number plate. Not in any of the obvious places (inside oven door, inside warming draw). Any help much appreciated.

Thanks!
 
1978 RE-38S

PhilR - Found it exactly as described - thankyou very much!

Picture below. Serial number is hard to make out, but is 62CA5407.

I am in need of an oven control switch for this range, but drawing a blank. Can anyone provide a lead?
