My parents had that exact same washer when I was a teenager. Run away! Run as fast as you can! Chris |

Looks like a Horizon 2000. This is a WCI machine. The console and the bottom of the front of the machine gives it away. |

Ditto as to what frigilux posted. The 2006 Frigidaires had the plastic tub, maybe the porcelain tub vs. the plastic explains the difference in the indexing. alr2903 |

I always wondered one thing about these machines...
How did the Franklin design EVER make it? Does anyone agree that it has a good wash action at all? To me it seems like such a cop-out but they've been making them for years. They apparently do wash clothes, but how can the indexing tub be at all efficient? We had 2 of these when I was growing up at different times, a White-Westinghouse and a Frigidaire and I remember how my mother used to gripe about how she had to under-load the Frigidaire to get mud out of my dad's work clothes. We had the Franklins before and after the old BD KM died, and after she got so frustrated at one of them that she went to Sears and bought a new DD KM washer that day. I know she got both of them cheap. That was 1997 and the Kenmore is still in service at the local high school field house, albeit very rusty. It's not that I'm harping on them necessarily, but I would like to hear from someone that likes them and why they like them. I've never personally owned one, and don't plan to unless it's a portable variety. I just was curious what the attraction is. -Tim |

I think every machine serves some purpose. Plus, the fact that a machine is still around and functioning must say something for the longevity of the design. I have a good friend that still has his WCI with angel wing agitator and they have never had it serviced. Must be close to 20 years old by now.

The genuine Fridgidaire has a pulsating agitator. If it has a standard oscilating agitator, it's a Franklin (WCI). |
