Mine has the three speed motor, could that be why it's different from the open types? |

Would anyone be interested in sharing a service manual for the I-18? Could I photocopy someone's? Bobby in Boston |

Bobby - It has been on my schedule of 'things-to-do' - to scan the 1-18 manual and post for everyone. Better than paying for a scanned copy elsewhere on the net. Is this time sensitive? To keep to the topic - I know Maytag had a bulletin once that discussed their transition from repairable motors to T-framed motors, about the same time frame. One of those deals where they were going to deplete stock in their parts inventory but new machines would receive the T-frame motors after a certain date. Who knows - maybe the motor was replaced at some point in time. I don't think/know if GM date stamped the motors like Maytag did. Ben |

Didn't GM add a water diverter to the motor midway through the production of the 1-18's? I know I've heard this but I dont' know if that is what you guys are referring to in the pics. |

I have two 1-18's in my shop. 1-18 is actually a reference to the pounds of clothes it was supposed to be able to wash. Both mine are model WC. Short and sweet I like that. The Custom Imperials had 3 speed motors, and a light. The "regular" 1-18 has a two speed motor. Both the ones in my shop are "regular" and have the same motor as captainmoody's, they are the original motors believe me. And that is one clean machine captainmoody. Don't oil it! Matt

1-18 was for 1 piece to 18pounds.Sort of strange how both the FRIGIDAIRE and Norge washers had the same tub design.I did notice however that in the newer 1-18 Jet-Action washers,the agitator speed when seton regular would begin at a slower speed when you set it for mini-small. But,when you increased the water level,The agitator would speed up. I believe that qwas posibly done by engineers after receiving complaints of water leakage from the vigorus splashing around of water in the mini-small settings.
