Not to support the lynching of WCI engineering, but REPLY #15 - laughing my a** off. LOL!
It reminded me of an ad, that wasn't appliance related, but you could say, a tea kettle ... in the golden age of tv (Detroit area). Now, I'm not saying these are the WCI guys after work...at happy hour.

This manual explains:
How to make a working washer out of a pile of S#IT!. I can think of 2 that were as bad though. D&M DWs and Auto-Chlor DWs. Not a damn thing good to say about either. I think the AC machines were designed in a bar near closing time AT BEST!
The D&M junk is the domestic equivalent. Just my Professional opinion. Take it for what you will.

Applause!!
Thank you Robert for posting these. Even though these were really s--tty machines, it's always interesting to read the technical side of it, just to see how the engineers/designers were thinking (in this case obviously delusional)
I think our library here can only benefit from the inclusion of all service literature, regardless of how each of us individually feels about a particular brand, design, features, etc. I for one would love to see more "controversial" reading materials!
Thanks again!

Well, Robert, looks like its time to dust off more of the WCI library... LOL!

I didn't say - but all that is added to the library is important, imho. It's a library!
It appears that the shredder was chopping up a DD WP-KN washer instead of a WCI one.Another WCI "punishment" would be take them to the shooting range!I have an AR-15 I would like to try-A WCI target would be nice to try it out on!Liked that Monkey "band"in the Ovrphil link-reminds me of the "Bimbo Box" jukebox!The Bimbo Box jukebox had an automated monkey "band" inside it that "played" while the music played-that Jukebox was made in Germany and played from a tape loop instaed of a record.
My Aunt had one for years and worked just fine and my best friend has one now that also works just fine.
It's rough on clothes but both machines are over 15 years old and still working unlike so many new machines today..
The appliance guy down the road has one of those 70s or 80s Frigidaire combo washer and dryer..
They do wash well from what I have seen.

Well time to duck again, for those who are fond of WCI dishwashers ***you know who you are ;-) ***, I just loaded into the Library the service manual to the <a href="http://www.automatice.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?showdoc~1079" target="_blank">very first WCI-Frigidaire dishwasher!

WCI: Enjoyed having both the '87 and '06 Frigidaire top-loaders for their indexing tubs; the '87, especially, because it still had a spin-drain and the circle spray fill carried over from 1-18s.
However...WCI can never be forgiven for ending Frigidaire's unique pulsating agitation. And for cheapening/debasing every brand it touched. And probably for other things that escape me at the moment.
