I lost the link and can’t find it. I know it’s in North Carolina for $500.

Early 80s WCI built Ken we’re all in one

Yes this is definitely toast in more ways than one LOL

In this time. This machine had several fatal performance problems, the dryers all tumble to fast to dry clothing properly because he accidentally used to 50 cycle pulley on the motors.

The washer couldn’t pump out worth a darn suds lock so badly even after the rinse.

And the washer and dryer both were fire hazards they had a lot of serious fires with these machines,

With WC I started building these to be marketed under the general electric name, GE insisted on metal lid for the washer and metal door for the dryer to help contain the fire problem along with a few other improvements.

And at $500 it’s nearly what it costs new I suspect they’re going to have this for a long time or they’re gonna end up just throwing it away.






Yea

WCI ruined the Frigidaire name, along with Westinghouse and a few others under the WCI name. No wonder why they ended up getting bought out by Electrolux. Only good laundry pairs that could have been bought were WP/KM and Maytag, I’d say GEs were good too but had a tendency to spill their 2 quarts of oil in the transmission onto the floor if the brake mechanism punched a hole in the transmission along with leaking oil into where your clothes were (bye bye laundry when that happened).

This is a good example of the poor management decisions that started Sears on the downhill road that ended at a cliff.
