WO-65 is home

[travis]

This is the Frigidaire that was in Colorado.  It just arrived yesterday.  It's in great shape, despite a few chips.  I wiped down the outside and here's my crappy cellphone picture.

 

I tried to pour some hot water down the drain hose, but it leaked out the inside pump hose.  The tub smells like a mouse house.  It's missing the bottom ring on the agitator.  Who has one?

Pretty machine! I never can tell by the model number, is this a machine with two rinses or one rinse and a spray rinse?

Nice Machine

Glad that you got this machine. You will really enjoy it. I have a WO-65-2 and I use it every week. Hope you can find the bottom ring. If you have to you can use one of the smaller rings from a 1-18 or a rapid dry machine. Keep us posted on the refurbishing of it.

WO-65

Nice save Travis, this looks to be the earlier rendition of the WO-65s that has the two deep rinses with no overflow rinses and the neat little neon pilot light on the control panel.

 

All the original Frigidaire Automatic washers had the two deep rinses and the engineers knew what they were doing when they designed this very cool washer. Problem was if you were using soap and did not have soft water the soap scum that formed was plastered all over the clothing as the heaver water was spun quickly out of the tub. The other problem with rinsing the clothing so thoroughly was again if you didn't have really soft water you rinse all of the detergents water softening properties out along with the detergent which leaves the clothing harsher and grayer as you rinse the minerals back into the clothing that were being held in suspension during the wash cycle. So going to the overflow rinsing after the wash and in the deep rinse got rid of the floating scum and eliminating the 2nd deep rinse kept a little more detergent in the clothing which kept a little more of the softening and the detergents fragrances in the clothing.
