Yes, my new machines came with the fabric softner dispenser, and the use and care manuals!! I'll scan them for all to see.
Intresting side note, according to the original slip of paper that came with the softner dispenser, it also doubles as a detergent dispenser when the automatic prewash is used... But only on the custom Imperial models!!

Cool--nice and sudsy!
If I may ask a stupid question, how does the fabric softener dispenser work? I'd think with all that pulsing the stuff would drip out.

Hey Veg,
The Fabric softner despenser has a deep well in the center that gets shallower as it goes out toward the edges. It seems like the the majority of the softner sits in the well during the wash. (Since it's a solid peice of plastic, it's hard to tell what's actually going on inside.) Then like other dispensers, gravity pull's it into the outer chamber during the spin. I like it a lot, but the cap is a little to snug. I bet a lot of nails were broken trying to open it.

Oh Happy Day!
Am so glad those units found a home with a member who truly loves and appreciates them. You certianly didn't waste any time getting them home, did you? *LOL*
Congrats on your new "toys" and many happy washings/dryings.
Regarding the dispenser and other goodies:
Isn't it so grand when a vitnage unit comes complete with manuals and other things which make the item whole? Sometimes one spends hours more with the manuals and extras than with the acutal item.

Almost forgot...
How quiet is the washer, since it appears to have had little use? Mine was used by 3 people since 1978 and sounds like a diesel engine...

Austin,
Yes they are very very quite. Much more quite then I remember a 1-18 being. Apperently the set was owned by a older lady who lived alone. I just love having 1-18's back in the house. It's been over a decade, since I had one!!! Thank god we never got around to repainting the laundry room, that's the original yellow paint from the early 70's!!!

No, I'm not left handed, why do you ask?
Toggle is right, the sink and plumbing is to the right of the washer, and the 220v plug and the exhust hole is to the left of the dryer. It must be a chicago thing, alomst every laudry room I have been in is set up like this.

Toggle was right! Is it backwards or is it just me?
Congratulations! They're beautiful. I've never seen a 1-18 with the fabric softener dispenser. Thanks for answering veg's question about how it works and why it doesn't dispense during agitation. I was wondering the same thing...

My W&D were dryer on left.
So I reversed the dryer door to hinge left.
Then I had the pipe extended (Can yo DO that?) to put the washer on left and dryer on right.
uhm, and once again reversed the door to hinge right.
OY VEY

Interesting how the hookups are reversed from the usual washer-left arrangement. I wonder what would happen with a Kenmore in its place? ;-)

Said: the sink and plumbing is to the right of the washer,
It might just be to keep the pluming runs short. Frequently the kit. and bath are back-to-back for just such a reason.
I grew up with (and have always coincidentally had) the DW to the left of the sink. Is the right better for righties? Don't know; I am a lefty myself.

My house built in 2005 has washer on the right. The house in which I grew up, built in 1964 was washer on right. The house my parents bought in 1980, built in 1972, has washer on the right. It was done that way in all three cases so the dryer vents directly through an outside wall. The wall behind them was/is an inside wall -- can't vent the dryer into a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen!
