i think by the model look that this washer might be a wci washer model even do it looks like a 1-18 it kind of look like a wci washer model the best way to know this would be to open the lid and look at the agitatorf the inside is like this then its a wci washer credit to supreme whirlpool for this picture but only fridgedair expert of the site could confirm this.

No it's a GM Frigidaire, the front panel is a dead giveaway. It's the more "rare" 16 model rather than the 1-18. Depending on the year of it it likely has the blue Deep Action agitator from the solid tub models rather than the bigger Jet Cone. It also has a lesser fill volume. This was the bargain basement model. It appears that the dryer is the westinghouse take on the 1-18 Frigidiare dryer because the front panel certainly is not of the GM design. |

As Joe said, the crease in the front panel means it's a GM. (and the dryer is a newer WCI). This washer should have the regular 1-18 agitator but it has no water level control and it doesn't fill to the maximum capacity. That's why it's rated as a "16". The model number should be "WD" or "WD-A"
Here's an ad featuring the same washer and a harvest gold 1-18 WIC-A washer just like the one I have beside it. |

I hope somebody gets the "16". Any of the GM machines are very hard to find. arthur |

the BOL Frigidaires always seem to have the white knobs. The others usually had the chrome knobs. Frigidaire always seemed like such a quality machine, well built anyway, that how could there be a cheap version. |
