Interesting!
The '59 still had the Fabric Master name on the panel but yep, the automatic drying cycles on the dryer control dial simply said 'automatic drying'.
Sigh... that '59 Imperial of mine has to have one of the best 'auto' dry cycles I've ever used, but it is alas out of service due to a drum bearing failure. Still desparately seeking one... | ||

Thank you, Paul. It was not as large and grand as on the 58's control panel. I guess it did not make as big of an impression on my brain. | ||

Do bearings not come in somewhat standard sizes? Why tool up for a custom sized bearing, why not standardize like tires on a car. Take the Ford EXP...ah, on second thought...

Paul is there a number stamped on the drum bearing? I would think it would be standard bearing like most other Frigidaire bearings. I had that dryer for long time and I loved it, soft clothes and very accurate auto-dry. It originally came from the appliance recycler that was watching out for me for a while for old machines.

That bearing in the speed reduction pulley is generally easy to keep lubricated. I think they are talking about the tub bearing that extends from the tub pulley through to the hub of the drum. | ||

Hi Bud, Here's a link to the thread I put up when the bearing went bad on me. I've only got one picture of the bearing; but I can remove it when I am back at the house in Ogden on the weekend if that will help!
