Last nite at 7:00PM I went down to my fully restored 1976 3 Speed Frigidaire 1-18 Coppertone washer to wash out my blue jeans which got rust stains on them from moving the airconditioners into storage! I set the dial for 12 minute wash! When I got up this morning at 7:00 AM what I heard was the washer! I got a 12 HOUR wash! I had no idea the 12 on the frigidaire dial meant 12 HOUR WASH! See the photographic evidence Below! Jetcone OY VAYS MERE! And FEH To lint filters!

HOLY COW! Looks like the washer ate the jeans.... Jeans are replacable, those beautiful machines are not... How is the washer after its 12 run? I'd be afraid of burning out the motor! | ||

Oh my gosh!!! It doesn't look like you have any jeans left! I would be wary about wearing those jeans, lol | ||

Jon, That is so funny! I had the same thing happen to me with my 1971 1-18. Only it was a whole load of clothes,and I was doing housework instead of sleeping. After hearing the "thunka-thunka-thunka for a couple of hours,and not really paying attention,I snapped to my senses any ran downstairs to the machine. the suds were all over the top of the machine,and lint was everywhere in the suds. The clothes were ok,and the problem was just the timer motor. I bought a used timer motor for $20.00,and used the machine for a few more years. Hope that is all that is wrong with your 1-18.

Why would Frigidaire (or any washer) even HAVE a 12-hour wash? These were the 18-minute coin-op people! | ||

Fringe is good! Hey Jon! Those jeans look great! If you bought those at Abercrombie, they would run you $100.00! LOL Maybe you should get in the "distressed clothing" business! How's about "Jetaction Jeans" for a moniker? Venus | ||

That can't be right.... or was you tongue firmly in cheek? The minimal would then be a two hour wash. Obviously, those times are in minutes and the timer is broken. KP | ||

Oh Jon what a story, I bet those are now the most comfortable jeans that you own. I am just thankful that nothing happened while that poor machine ran for 12 hours. I bet that you won't ever let this happen again.LOl Terry | ||

Ya talk about "damich"
Ming yuh fahtch !
What an eye-opener! And what a deligtful, enlightening, entertaining thread. Those jeans--are they indeed a hundred dollar pair--or More? Look at that cool weave; it's like the old herring bone opened to a swivel. Jon, I was not Aworg born in 2005, and I'm so glad you resurrected this wonderful thread, and to Eugene, if you see this: Remember when you said you weren't sure when you arrived? Well, you were here way back in 05. Thank you for the reincarnation, Jon. | ||
