A wiring diagram?
Wow - I have a washer with a wiring diagram for a change! lol Very interesting the way the model number is composed: WDAC 63 My best guesses: W= Washer D= Deluxe A= Automatic C = Canadian 63 = 1963 ?? They mention a WDARC 63 - which I guess was because it had a suds-return feature. Still, interesting that there was a Frigidaire appliance plant in Ontario!

Now THIS is a washer! The tub and pulsator are in AWESOME shape. You should be proud of this find!! Any chance we could get some panel close-ups? I personally haven't peformed the procedure, but go to your local hardware shop and pick up some non detergent Air Compressor oil. Get cap extensions because I think you need to spin the mechanism so the nut is facing up to get the fluid in the case. Hopefully those who have performed the surgery can fill in the missing blanks. Again - AWESOME find! I love the sound of a Multimatic washing away. Ben | ||

One panel close-up
Sorry I didn't think to shoot one of the controls! The sticker on the front has stylized Maple Leaf stating the washer was made in Canada. I remember so many appliances having this still on them after years of service. I think it was actually law that you couldn't remove it... lol I am hopeful someone on the board will be able to help me with the oil dilemma. I am seriously thinking I'm going to have to take the tub out to do it!!

Thanks for showing the... PUSH button. I always wondered about that silly little button. I just thought it was a Robertism. :-) | ||

When you can, and not a moment before, I would (and I bet some others would, too) really like a shot of the dials. Nice find! Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Most unusual to find one with the original energy ring and detergent column intact. Those detergent column rings are like new! As far as cleaning ability goes, IMO, this agitator combined with the larger tub was the best. I'm glad you got such a nice machine! | ||

Awesome find Congrats to you in finding a machine in such great condition being 46 years old. Are you thinking of painting it turquoise? | ||

Great find Paul! And it looks to be in very nice condition too. I would have to say that someone took very good care of this machine. You could simply repaint the one side with appliance epoxy paint like I did my "summer home" Maytag and then give the cabinet a nice coat of wax. Or have the top blasted and change the colour to turqoise if you want to take it that far. I sure hope this beautiful machine runs ok for you. I've never had any luck with the Multimatics. :<
