Peter,I can answer your question.Yes it does have the dispenser.the door is to the very left of the control panel where the FRIGIDAIRE logo is.It's cast metal and raises up.inside there are 2 chambers.One is for liquid detergent.The other is for fabric softner.The bleach cup is inside the agitator.I had one similar to it which was the WXL.It was an infinite speed model(1965)and had the window lid.

Could anyone tell me, which colors this set came in? We have the Milk Chocolate brown one, above here, which I am sure has an official name, and the aqua colored one that Dave posted. But which other colors are there? |

So, does anyone know whether the Jet-Cone agitator has a "rubber" agitator diaphragm under the last cone like the Deep-Action agitator? Is rubber better than plastic? If so, why is rubber better? |

How exactly does rubber work to make it better than plastic? From pics of the Jet-Cone agitator diaphragm looks plastic but,I can't be sure. |

How exactly does rubber work to make it better than plastic? Rubber if much more flexible and causes waves in the water. Welcome Mischa, what a fabulous web site you have! Very creative. There were four different washers on Bewitched, the first was a 1964 Maytag set in the NYC apartment for the first two episodes. Once they moved into 1164 Morning Glory Circle in Westport the first time I believe that they showed a washer was in the middle of the 2nd season. They used a Middle-of-the-Line 1965 Frigidaire washer and dryer for that shot. I posted a screen capture of that scene here a few years ago. Then from 1967 thru 1971 or so they used a 1966/1967 WCIL model like Davy posted above. Do you any screen shots of that machine, if so please post them? In the last season or two they went back to an early 1970's Maytag set. |

Beautiful machine,Davy! Very interesting website also. I loved the episodes for the cars they drove, I had a clip at one time where sabrina drove up in a 1967 427 Corvette that was black with a red stripe. |

Everything was GM, except for the console tv's and console stereo's by ZENITH! Loved those rare GM cars, Vette, Malibu/Chevelle Convertibles, & those 2dr Caprice SS (68 & 69) with closing headlamps! Later GM noted that of those Caprices w/closing headlamps only 800 were made for each model year 68 & 69, and Caprice up until final production in 1996 never had them again. |

Mischa, I'll see if I can remember what those two banks of buttons were. The left bank of six were fabrics. The right six were options. The ones on the left I can remember were whites, colors, wash'n'wear white, durable press, delicates, and special. The options were cold water wash, cold water rinse, 2nd rinse, auto advance to wash from soak, cancel options, and I can't remember what the other one was for.

Glenn, it should be noted this machine had 4 spin speeds--gentle, slow, normal, and Rapid 1000. The Durable press cycle was identical to what the combinatinos were for models (Like Steve 1-18's Rapid Dry) that had Nomrmal, Gentle, and Durable Press "speed" options. And with Frigidaire turnover, washing results were quite good on those loads even with the slow agitation. I wish I could remember what the rpms were for gentle and slow. Normal was probably around 640-710 rpm as that was the highest rpm speed for the non-Rapid 1000 dry models in these Rollermatics.
