if it is the main
tub seal that part is available still. i have a 1-18 in my frigidaire washer collection that i completely rebuilt and posted all pics of here about 3-4 years ago. i bought the main seal at partselect.com. that would be my guess as to what the leak is about. mine leaked bad when i got it. now it runs perfectly although i only use it about once a year!
you can search thru old posts for 1-18 posts and find lots of good info! i think i posted that part number for that seal several times on this site. part is about 40 bucks! it involves pulling out the tub to get to it ofcourse but i had no previous history with a 1-18 and my rebuild went very smoothly! a service manual is available on the web at daves repair.com and i think it might be here too. not sure, haven't been on here in awhile but thought i did glimpse it once. and i'm sure lots of others will have valuable info for you too here. good luck with it! | ||

 Sounds like it's time to take it apart and investigate. It's possible that it could be the water bellows and it definetly sounds like it's time for a main seal. You've come to the right place for help. First things first, you need to decide whether or not you are willing to go through the effort to repair the machine because it will likely be a laborious process. There are lots of tips and trick on this website to make it easier. Like Pete said above in his post you should search the site for all the information you can find, review his post on this job because his explanations are thorough. You should obtain a service manual and familiarize yourself with the machine before you start tearing into it. I hope you'll decide to fix it because you certainly can't buy anything even close to it these days. If you should need it I think I have a copy of the repair manual in .pdf format that I can email you. Remember, we're here to help you, no question is a dumb question. | ||

End of the Line Thanks for the advice and encouragement. However, I plan to junk the washer and dryer since I cannot be without a washer while I acquire the necessary parts and rebuild the machine. | ||
