Beautiful Colonial Copper set! These would have been from '77 or before as the shaded colors were replaced by the solid versions, such as Coffee, by '78. | ||

1-18
I took the washer all apart today, well the top off and scrubbed the insides of it, years worth of build up and crud.. But its shiny and new again now..
The drier on the other hand, I had a appliance repair tech come, I told them on the phone it was a set from the 1970's and the dryer needs new rollers or something.. He took a look at it, then said nah you need to Junk it and get a new one, not worth fixing. I said ok thank you and he left after the $80 service call for nothing.. If anyone is around orlando I would love a drier fix day, Lunch is on me... thanks again for all the help here about all my questions over the years, It means a lot to me | ||

Possibly In Two or Three Weeks...
I can come and replace the 4 rollers for you. We already moved 1/2 the stuff last week, and we'll be moving all the rest of the house on the 3rd.
Rollers are all over eBay for around $10/each. Check the front and rear drum seals as well. Normally when people use those dryers with bad rollers, they wear out the seals. | ||

drier
I believe new rollers are still available, but I don't know the PN. One thing I about 1-18 driers, and mine is 42 years old and running well, do ALL repairs with the drier laying on its front. Do the work from the back and it will fall into place nicely and makes for quiet running. Put the entire back together BEFORE lifting it up. And don't listen to repairman who works son Y2k and forward machines.

Noisy FD 1-18 Dryer Hi Chris, If you told the repair guy that came out the make and model # when scheduling the repair visit and he basically refused to repair he should not have charged you, I would call and ask for a refund and do a charge back if they won't voluntarily do one.
These dryers are kind of noisy I have almost never heard a really quiet one, that said they can be serviced, your dryer probably has 3 rear and 2 front rollers. You may also want to have a new belt on hand. you could also have a worn idler pulley and or a loose blower wheel and sometimes new front and rear felt seals are needed. Also check to make sure the plastic lint filter housing is not melted or badly distorted.
Good Luck, John L. | ||

Checkin' In Chris, How is the washer working? I'm sorry I haven't gotten to my parts books yet to get the number for the front and rear dryer drum seals. I will be driving to Orlando soon to buy some things at IKEA, so if you could, drop me an email with your address and I'll stop by for a few minutes to check the beautiful set out. Rich | ||
