Does this sieve-style lint filter, that has the same shape as the bed of nails filter for GM Frigidaire 1-18 washers, fit any of the GM models or were these for the WCI clones?

Wasn't there a kit from GM Frigidaire to retrofit the sub-top of the bed-of-nails filter mounts to the newer basket style?
I changed the sub-top on my 1979 1-18 to the bed-of-nails filter as I think it's a slightly better filter, it certainly collects lint a little longer than the basket type which clogs quickly and is then useless. That said, I usually leave the b-o-n filter on the shelf and skip the filtering gimmicks altogether. |

Thank you everybody. I have the bed of nails filter and I guess I'll stick with that one because I can, in fact, leave it in the machine until it is practically hemorrhaging lint and then take it upstairs to bang it on something soft and use a brush to get the leavings out.
The Frigidaire 1-18 has been a very good daily driver and will continue to be so until I can find the right circuit board for my LG 2432 (the 2nd best washing machine I've ever used). |
