the machiene is my age, born in 52. My parents had one then and many since. We had a couple of 59 custom imperials and I inharited their 64 jet action rollermatic which I stupiidly gave away in 80 when I got a new Speed Queen set because I couldn't get a GM Frigidaire as GM had just stopped making them as well as McGraw Edison stopped making Speed Queen the same year. I also wonder why both companies stopped making the overflow rinse. I thought it rinsed the clothes much better.
These old Frigidaire washers amaze me. Until recently I didn't know they had the up and down wash motion. I'm not knocking the machine but I'll admit I didn't think they would wash that good. But I've read many forums of people who say these are the best cleaning machines made. So I guess I was wrong lol. I'd like to find one someday for myself. It's too bad they don't make them like this anymore. Pretty stupid move on GM's part.
This washer has excellent turn over. I really think that this design should be brought back.
Nothing beats a Frigidaire
Oh I forgot to add, I love the rollover they produce. You don't see too much of that anymore.
the best top loader ever made! The top spiral (useless) and bottom pedals which are on most models and brands today are crap

Excellent video! I love the suds.

how did the company keep the electronics from getting wet if the cabinet was filled with water during the spin.
Speaking of GE washers didn't you once have a GE portable washer with the small pulsator at the bottom of the tub?
@kennyt1230 They were a nightmare to repair and make.
how much capicity did these machines have? were there any at that time compareable to today?
ive seen that on the automatic washer website. whoever owns it should put up a full video!
Have you decided if the 1977 white westinghouse is going to stay yet?
In my opinion these washers weren't very easy to manufactor nor repair.
because general motors used to own frigidaire and when whirlpool bought the company, they wrecked EVERYTHING about them.
Laundry by day, women by night!!
How long had you had this machine?
well either way, some dumb company purchased frigidaire and made the washers suck.
