What year(s) did Frigidaire make commercial "jetcone" washers? After looking at this POD, probably for the 10th time, I have a thought. Austin has a WC. I have a WC. We discussed the lid switch being in different locations. Mine, near the hinges, sort of a plunger type. Austins, near the console mounted to the top in the center of where the lid would close, trigger type. Wonder if these two (2)totaly different lid switches have or had anything to do with GM running out of tops and using the ones that were suppose to be on commercial machines? Or, was commercial machines started after the switch was located by the hinge? Your thoughts? Steve | ||

POD Lids/Tops Did you notice that in the picture, they retained the original top design of the domestic 1-18 with the recessed hand scoop on the right, even though the commercial machine lid opens front to back? Looks funny to me! Phil | ||
