'66? Looks pretty rough. Should be an interesting restorations! I think they should have offered that shade of yellow longer than they did. I guess the filings got rusty and expanded. | ||

 That washer is a 1966 model. Some 1965 Custom Deluxe models didn't have the offset timer that Bob talked about and no 1966 Custom Deluxe models had it. It would almost match my new 1967 Imperial dryer. Same color at least. I'm looking for a control panel like the one of my dryer, if anyone knows where to locate one (from a 1966 DCIAK), I'd like to buy one. It doesn't need to be in good shape as I'll have to modify and repaint it. | ||

Wow that cleaned up nice. So that poor machine sat unused all these years because of a capacitor? Simply fix and off it goes. How nice is that. Jon | ||

Please forgive my ignorance, again. What does the capacitor do?
The capacitor is like a battery, it's stores an extra charge of electricity to give the motor extra power for starting to turn with a heavy load. There are two sets of copper windings in washer motors, start and run. When the motor first starts power is sent to both the start and run windings. When the motor nears full speed a centrifugal switch cuts out the start winding and the motor just uses the run winding. The capacitor is wired into the start winding. | ||

Capacitor Is the capacitor the problem when a Frigidaire begins the spin cycle and then stops after a few seconds? | ||
