To celebrate having unrestricted waste water outflow capacity at the house in Ogden, I finally got the 63 Frigidaire Deluxe washer actually hooked up and ran a load of laundry through it. I am in complete and total awe of how that machine washes... I have only been up close to a couple of Frigidaire washers in my life (one in a Wildwood, NJ laundromat - probably a commercial 1-18 and one in a high school friend's house - it looked like an Imperial and it was very definitely turquoise!). I can't beli eve how lucky I was to stumble across this one! I can't wait to use it again! I took a bunch of videos, here's the washer filling and washing for the first time!

I have taken videos of each phase of the cycle, but I haven't posted each one - if you would like to see them all, try searching Frigidaire WDAC63 and they should all be there. The results? The towels and spa robes I threw in there were clean and lint-free and barely damp! My late grandmother would have deemed them perfect for ironing. They dried in no time flat. Wow! I think I am in love with this washer!!! LOL CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK |

Interesting that you should ask me about that! I thought it was really odd how the water level selection is part of the main timer... You can set the machine for a regular or small load when you start the machine. I think I read in a Frigidaire Tech-Talk bulletin that they dropped this style of water level control in 1964, but I could be wrong...

I told 'ya so. I knew once you used it you would love it! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. The longest overflow rinse ever! |

That sure is a noisy spin. Was there something vibrating against the cabinet? Or maybe something loose underneath? A loose pulley? |

Great videos! I see there are two controls beside the timer. I assume one is for temperatures, so what is the other one for? Or is one for the wash temperatures and the other for the rinse temperatures? The machine is indeed rattling a bit but I see the outer cabinet is shaking somewhat so it could be the legs are not all touching the floor equally. Thanks for sharing! Louis |

Louis & Gyrafoam - the rattling during the spin is due to bad flooring. When I tested the machine out in the garage on the cement floor, it was practically silent! I think I am going to have to find a new job soon if for no other reason than to finance the construction of a better laundry room! Robert - I have SO got the Frigidaire bug now... I must find one in turquoise!! Or perhaps Pink (stop making that face, Bob...) LOL Thanks for all the comments about this one - I'm about to take off for a couple of weeks on vacation so I won't be posting for a bit. Take care, all!! |
