Eddie -
I discovered that my photos of the change over weren't very helpful. So instead I've posted a copy of the WO-65-2 wiring diagram.
I assume that you'll want to bi-pass the pesky lid switch. Here are the simple instructions:
A. Wire the new black from the cord to the Motor protector:
In purple I've drawn the new path of the new black wire. You'll unplug the black wire leading between the motor protector and the lid switch and plug the new black wire from the new cord to the motor protector. This will remove the lid switch from the circuit entirely and you can remove all wires from it. I've found that you can find new 'Douglas' connectors at your local ACE or Hardware store. They'll have blue insulators around them.
B. Now - the more important part. The white wire from the new cord will need to go to the following:
1. Timer Motor
2. The white lead down to the motor trip solenoid
3. The white lead down to the water valves
More than likely the wires up to the timer are still good so you should be able to solder a connection to that wire. Check to see what condition the wires are that lead from the timer down to the motor and the water valve. If they are still soft and are not brittle, you can continue to use those and wire straight into the two white leads.
I took the new green ground lead and put a round connector on it and fastened it to one of the upper inspection cover screws. In the next post you'll see a photo of the WO-65 leaning on it's side, and you can see where I fastened the green grounding screw.
Let us know if you need any more help. I've scanned and had Robert post a good deal of Frigidaire literature on the Service Manual section of the main page. There is a .pdf dedicated to the WO-65/WO-65-2 Unimatics. Breeze through that if you need further help, or go through Robert's copy of the Unimatic re-opperation manual, full of goodies on the transmission rebuild.
Once you get it rewired, as Robert suggested in an earlier thread, put some hot water down the drain tube to get the carbon seal in the pump lubricated. I would rock the motor fan back and forth by hand to make sure everything is free before applying electricity. Plug it in and put it in the RINSE portion of the cycle. Let it pulsate for a few minutes, turn it off, and put it in spin to see how the bearing sounds. If you don't have a screaming Unimatic, and the pump seal is holding you may have a keeper on your hands!
Congrats! The WO-65 washers are one of my favorites. Truly one of the most enjoy washers in my basement - by novices and washer lovers alike.
