i have to repair some rust where the opening is for the drain pump collection cup (back center of pic). it's not that bad yet but there was evidence of leakage in this area.

you can see the rust problem better in this picture, in the back right corner. i've had worse problems with my dishwashers so i'm not worried about fixing it, it will be easy!

here is the pump drain collection chamber the top port where the pressure switch hose connects to is broken off but that will be an easy fix too. i will drill it out and put a tube in and cement it in good.

another view of transmission with the pump impeller still on. i assume it screws off the shaft but as yet have not tried it. will do that tomorrow. i have a new pump seal on order from a friend who is selling me some frigidaire parts.

There are some chunks broken off the bottom of the blue cone from the machine I got from goatfarmer, the one I'm hoping to rebuild. I think someone ran a belt with a heavy metal buckle through it, or maybe something else. NorfolkSouthern | ||

i will keep my eye out for a 1-18 pulsator cone for you! i'm going to take my time with this rebuild, spend the next few days cleaning parts and getting everything in order so when i go to put it all back together i will already have it in my mind how to do it. | ||

I personally haven't pulled a 1-18 bearing, but they look 'standard' and, more than likely, could be crossed over to an alternate. Post the number that is stamped off the upper bearing and I'll see if I can find an alternate through Grainger, etc. There are two bearnings - and upper and a lower. I'd hazzard a guess that they would need to be pressed out/pressed in from the looks of it. | ||

If it ain't broke...
There was a special tool from Robinair sold to help remove the agitate shaft coupler from the shaft and the agitate arm. If you don't need to remove it for replacement, leave it alone. You really don't want to dig up another problem with an NLA part that doesn't need to be disturbed. The tool was used to hold the body of the coupler and then a wrench to un-thread it from the end of the shaft. If you remove the bearings, you should be able to get them at your local bearing/machine parts supply house - see your yellow pages. The one you pictured looks like a New Departure or similar brand bearing and there are numbers along the sides that will indicate the sizes for replacement. Even if the numbers are not fully legible, take the bearing to the shop with you (as you should in any case) and the salesperson can measure it inside and out and get the replacements for you. It would be shocking if this weren't a standard-sized bearing as custom bearings are very expensive and when profit is the motive in building appliances (all evidence having been to the contrary at GM Frigidaire) standard parts were utilized whenever possible. Best of luck! | ||
