Here is my WC-6. From what I have been told it's a 1977 model. I have the matching DEC-5 dryer as well. Both Harvest Gold of course!

The 1-18 Tub Bottom Holes,, and the Turnover Factor

When we got our 1977 Frigidaire WC in Gold, it had the lowest holes as "captainmoody's", along the tub's curved bottom. Unfortunately, the tub was actually damaged with a noticeable chip on the middle-side. Frigidaire actually replaced the tub within 2 weeks of delivery, and it was the same tub as "pdub's".
I did'nt think it made any difference, because it alowed more water to drain from the bottom, better for sand and dirt to flush-out.
It IS TRUE that the 1-18 Jet-Cone Agitator tangled clothes less, and turnover was greater than the older 3-ring agitators, due to the greater anount of air being pumped into the washwater through the holes on the agitator under the gray rings. If I put my arm down into the washwater next to the agitator as it pumped, I could really feel the pull of the agitator's force. I also felt the air being shot into the water. The machine ran GREAT with NO repairs, for over 17 years!

WSAH14 Pulsamatic - Date Unknown.

Sorry for the dirt, when I visit next I'll retake the pics.

Does anyone know how to decode the fridgidare serials?

where's the holes?

I noticed in some of the pics there's no holes in the tub. Where does the water drain to during the spin and drain cycles?

 

[toggleswitch]

I beleive there are holes under the tub ring that is near the top of the tub.

Centrifugal force pushes the water up and out!

IIRC models with a solid non-perforated tub tend to have an over-flow rinse to push floating "sediment", sand, lint and muck up and out.

 

[mickeyd]

If you look at thread 8047 -Thor, you can see the holes and the water leaving during spin and overflow rinsing. You have to look carefully. It's not a Frigidaire, of course, but the same principle is at work. If you have access to a Frigidaire, yank the agitator forward or sideways which will expose the rim of hundreds? of magical slits. It's a really cool thing to see, a true engineering stroke of genius.

I wonder if any member ever counted the slits. Sadly, I don't have a pulsator to yank, but my guess is 300 slits. Or maybe 500.

Thank you Peter, that only leaves the 1949 Unimatic (model: WL-60) as the missing from our pictures of GM Frigidaire tub/agitator styles.

1963/1964 Still Needed

The 1963 and 1964 "Sturdy" Frigidaire 12lb tub capacity and restyled three ring pulsator is missing still. Does anyone have pics for this particular washer? My mother had the 1963 Custom Deluxe washer WCDA-63 that was used for over 30 years before the outer tub developed a leak.

 

[areuoneto]

I have the missing link for the WCD63

I have this set sitting in my garage I haven't had a chance to post the pictures the last two months with my work travels as of latley I will have them up this weekend with the long story how I got them and they are mint shape and in "Copper"

Later

FWIW

WO-65. S/N 34AE2733.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Thanks Glenn, its good to see your WO-65 has the original pulsator and agitator. The only thing that was changed was the lint chaser ring as it has a 1956-1957 gray ring. Glenn can you post a larger photo the inside of your WO-65?

Woops I did forget about the '63/'64 model picture, Brett I would so appreciate if you could load a nice large format picture of the inside of your washer here so I can make a nice album.

Deep Action Agitator

I thought that the solid tub Jet Action washers had the "Deep Action" Agitators and that the Perforated tub or 1-16's and 1-18's had the "Jet Cone" Agitator.Enqiring minds want to know.

 

[christfr]
