Oh Happy Day The Unimatic Finally Runs

[toploader55]

Thanks to Coldspot66, I installed the Water Valve he gave me.

A little retrofit on the mounting bracket from the Original Valve, and things are so far OK.

Hooked her up and away we go !!!

 

[toploader55]

I decided a little Persil

Soooo... Quiet. Pulsating away

 

[toploader55]

Throwing the Suds

They Vanished Instantly

Fill for the Overflow Rinse

Simply Amazing

 

[toploader55]

Timer Dial...

Seems to be off as far as the settings.

 

[toploader55]

Overflow Rinse

Magic.

 

[toploader55]

Again,

Timer Dial seems off. It's on Fill.

And Pulsating

 

[toploader55]

Overflowing Rinse.

Love it.

If anyone has a Dial , Larry from Parma sent me a Double Rinse Dial that I could trade for. Brand New.

 

[toploader55]

I'll Post in awhile. Just getting together Whites.

I'm going to get a Vid Cam tommorrow

Big Congrats, Eddie. We have "Dueling Banjos" now.

I agree

The blue under wet glass with the red on the left is a prize winner.

Eddie i am loving that washer more and more, after seeing quite a few members who has them over the years here.
G.E. modern machines has those Ribbed baskets, so ribbed baskets are not new the third pick is great i can really see them stand out thanks for the pics and congratulations on the machine.
Best to you.

The Famous Overflow Rinse

 

[toploader55]

I think Today...

Congratulations on reviving your Unimatic. No laundry room is complete without one. Once you use one you can never turn back because nothing else is quite like one. Of course, working on them is another story altogether and equally unique!

 

[turquoisedude]

Bravo!!

Congratulations, Eddie! How wonderful to see that Unimatic pulsating away!! I am hereby pledging to drive down and see that beauty in person this spring. Doesn't it feel great to finally get a machine working after a couple of challenges?? I wonder if the new timer is the cause of the cycle to dial mismatch... I hope you can find one - that would make the machine even more perfect!!!

 

[toploader55]

Hi Paul

Thanks. The New Timer sans the timer motor is going to Brazil this morning. I will call Larry at Modern and see if they have the correct dial. He sent me one for a double rinser but insisted that was the one I needed. These machines are incredible.

 

[rickr]

Glad you got your Unimatic going Eddie! You will have fun playing with that one!

 

[toploader55]

Is it my imagination ???

I'm just putting away the White Wash I did last night and they really look the brightest and cleanest I have ever seen.

Not to coin that phrase but they really "Dazzle". My laundry always looks great and people ask how I get whites so white but this particular load is immaculate.

Is it because of the Overflow at the end of the wash and the Overflow Rinse combined with the high extraction ?

 

[swestoyz]

Yay Eddie! Glad to see the WO-65-2 is up and running again.

Thanks for posting,

Ben

As far as I know, I'm the only guy with a Frigidaire Unimatic in Brazil... Heyyyyyyyyy that's me!!! wooooooo hooooo thank you Eddie!

Congratulations for your awesome machine. Unfurtunately I didn't have the same luck yet. Well, I also had no time past month to continue the restoring service and I'm slowly restarting the restoration process.

I already have some tools and parts (Thank you, Steve!) and the timer (thanks again Eddie!), plus my boss is almost finishing the timer motor (finally) and we're both almost sure it's going to work.

Thanks Eddie!
