Yeah! What a great addition to your AMP. It looks to be in very good shape - and hopefully the few issues will just be a tweak or two. I always though these earlier control panels were much more attractive than the later versions. Congrats - there is nothing like watching a Rollermatic/1-18 through the Window Lid! Ben | ||

Glad you got the washer. Wished you had stopped by in San Francisco on you way home to Sacramento. Would like to have met and to see my Frigidaire Model WC and my Frigidaire 1966 Custom Imperial Washer. | ||

Congratulations on the beautiful 1-18. That is a very handsome control panel and the tub and agitator look in good shape too. You should probably replace the rail that holds the lint filter in place. I think that is why the other one has a piece missing and is probably also why the filter isn't sitting flush against the subtop. If they aren't held in tight they tend to fall out during spin and then get chewed up by the agitator. You don't want that. Here's a pic and the link. Have fun with your new machine.

The brake
This may be wishful thinking, but whenever I store my 1-18, it will not brake normally (just spins and spins) for about the first six washes after I put it back in service. After a day or two, it resumes normal operation. I just figure it hates being stored. Maybe you'll get lucky on that one, too :-) | ||

Very possible the timer has been messed with but I also recall CR's washer ratings back when this model was new, and they used to asterik or footnote certain makes as having a timer that could be manually advanced. Maybe this is one of them. I'm sure the Frigidaire experts here can advise. Nice of that guy to meet you at I-280 and Saratoga. The inadequacies of that interchange make it one I tend to avoid, but it appears it was worth your trouble to snag a nice machine. | ||

Great Pix Martin!! This is the second Frigidaire 1-18 model I owned.Mine was 6 when I got it and it ran fre of any repairs for 12 years.I replaced the control panel with a WCG5 Custom panel because the older one was pealing off the woodgrain decal.My first 1-18 was the Custom Imperial 3 speed with the matching dryer in coppertone!Those were a pair the buyers hated because the washer twisted and tangled the clothes.They lived around the corner from us and when I saw the set out in their back yard,Jo said "Yea you can have 'em,but get the hell out of here quick before my idiot brother in law takes 'em home.'Everythink he touches turns ta'shit!"I loaded them onto Mark's truck and welauged our buts off.
