Kenny, I have a "Crown" 1-18 Model #WC-6. How do I determine the vintage from the model number. Does it break down to W=Washer, C=Crown,-6= 1976? Thanks!! Steve

Look at the serial #,not the model #. First digit will be the year.7 will be 1977,5 will be 1975,etc.

Thanks Kenny, I just used that information to surprise myself. Discovered my 1-18 is a model year older than I thought---a 1975. It is in such good shape it is hard to believe just to look at it! --Steve

I don't know how far back that information holds. I just checked a "J" model Frigidaire refrigerator I picked up,and the serial # started with 8. J is a 1965.

Well I liked what you said the first time and I'm sticking to it! Anyway, it makes sense. --Steve
WC-6 was a 1976-77 model according to factory identifier.
Frigidaire Model Year
Hi,
You can also find the year the machine was manufactured on the schematic wiring diagram usually glued to the outer tub of the 1-18's or on the back panel of the older machines. That's how I've identified my 1974 & 1966 Frigidaires...
Hope that helps, too.
Thanks.

Re: Frigidaire Model/Serial Age Signs:
My Parent's had a 1966 Frigidaire Custom Deluxe Washer, the Model Number was: WCDK with the "K" being the year of 1966. I know, because I bought it for them at our local Breuner's Store, when it was still Downtown. Although I used their "Charg-A-Plate" that was a generic Charge-Card-Like ability to use at most larger Department Stores here in Sacramento, CA. Those were the days!!!

Thanks to all---
Everyone's advice is well taken. I originally thought the machine to be a 1976. It sure is fun to use and along with the '56 "Unimatic" can be counted on NOT to walk around on my old hardwood floors!

Yes,Frigidaire used letters,from around 1965 or so,until the end of GM Frigidaire. It gets kinda confusing in the later years,with T,TT,U,etc.
