TODAY's POD: WCI Frigidaire Advertisement

Interesting to read that the water level should be 1 inch below the dry clothes line.
Is that a typographical error? Not sure I'm reading it correctly either.

What does WCI know about anything? They definitely have no shame.

BTW, this serves to answer yesterday's POD question, Westinghouse, Weasyhouse, or Whiteconhouse? The filter and dispenser on this Frigiwhite match those on the Whiteconhouse. (I had guessed Weasyhouse, I take it back.)

If I remember my history correctly, these machines came on the market sometime in 1980?  When did WCI abandon the charade of the Frigidaire 1-18 style console?

Water Level and the 1-18

I would say that the water level on a 1-18 should be set an inch below the dry clothes load, but not the index-a-tator in a WCI machine. Opposite should be the case in most agitator machines.

My rule of thumb has generally been the water level should exceed the dry clothes load level by the depth of the agitator vanes on the base of the agitator. This gives room for clothing to move out of the agitator's way during operation and improves load rollover.

Just my opinion... Malcolm
