Well, I've just about gotten her completely cleaned up! She runs fabulously, all she needs as of right now is a new spin solenoid, I've yet to test the water valves though. So, for now, I just fill manually and engage spin vs. agitate manually. Here are some updated pics including the maiden wash load!

Jamie, it looks beautiful!! The hours of scrubbing certainly paid off. Does the spin solenoid get power to it from the timer? Hopefully it will be a simple repair and you'll be automatic again in no time. Congrats again - I'll bet you were just tingling all over when you heard that water slamming against the cabinet on the first spinout! | ||

well done Jamie, you have every right to feel proud of what you have done there. It looks great. Can you get a solenoid easily? Is it the same as any other machine, or do you have to get a special one for that machine? Chris | ||

Just a little jealous... ... that is so cool that you got run a washload through the Unimatic! I'm sure it was a blast! I have yet to wash with my Unimatic yet, although hopefully that will change soon. | ||

Hey Jamie, I thought about the Laundry Solenoids at Grainger too - but after looking at the trip solenoid on my WO-65, I realized that there are a few too many terminals on the Frigidaire version and the Grainger supplied solenoids would not work. After looking at the wiring diagram, I would suspect that the white leading to the solenoid is the common, blue might power the motor, and possibly brown is the trip - or what is causing the solenoid to engage. Without doing more research by looking at the timer chart, this is mostly a guess. It is interesting that a screw is missing that holds the solenoid in place - maybe someone has played with it before? I would give it a bench test to see if it isn't the wiring/timer. Ben
