Vintage parts in Albany Unfortunately, there are no more mom & pop appliance & parts stores left in Albany. My best luck has always been with eBay. I will check my parts stash to see if I have an extra one. My grandfather was a Trombley from Morrisonville..... I haven't been there in 35 years. | ||

Thank you, I appreciate it. Let me know what you find. Any relation to Stephanie Trombley from Morrisonville Elementary? If so, she was my 2nd grade teacher in 2002. If you find anything I'm staying in Clifton Park until Wednesday mid day. Assuming you're in Albany. | ||

It's not possible to repair a compromised bellows, it must be replaced. I have looked on ebay for you and did not see one for sale. They do show up from time to time however. It is a specific part for the 1-18 and not compatible with other Frigidiare water bellows that would have what we call the "D" hole in top but rather, it is a large round hole for the agitate shaft to come up through. | ||

Sorry I checked and I don't have a spare bellows.... There is one on eBay, though. The "5300" before the part number just indicates it's a post-WCI part. Seller has 4 available. CLICK HERE TO GO TO steved's LINK on eBay | ||

Oh yes I've dealt with that with Unimatic bellows. What I do is I find a round glass that is slightly larger than the bottom opening. I fit the rubber over the glass and soak it in hot water in the sink and let it sit overnight. Then right before you go to install it soak it in hot water again, remove the glass then install it right away after you have removed the glass.
I do think the new old stock rubber shrinks ever so slightly as it ages. | ||
