Frigidaire Gallery Series Washing Machine. MOD. FWS777GH50 Serial: XC10516208. Part 1. Trash find. Top of the line. All it needed was a new tub seal, a thorough cleaning inside and out, it now looks and works great!
These washers do get the job done. I had one gave it to my neighbor. My new house has a kenmore and It does a good job. My wish is to find an imperial whirlpool washer and dryer set that has been fully restored if needed. I miss that good ole belt drive and the woo woo sound and etc.
Water pressure is low in my neighborhood too. Most likely because everyone is working from home remotely, zooming ,and streaming 24-7 due to a much worsening PANDEMIC!
I have this washer, but different agitator. Plastic tub. Works better than the non agitator tubs that barely move the clothes. I have the paddle type agitator. This model is gentle on the clothes compared to my Whirlpool which has lots of rollover and works faster, but cleans better. This one is perfect for delicates.
Good to hear that yours is still working. I know these older Frigidaires were kind of unreliable. But these were built on the cheap side. I don’t think these got the best reviews either.
But these washers are definitely not great tho. They just seem cheap in quality and are pretty unreliable. These also lacked tub breaks and suspension?. These also had plastic inner and outer tubs. Also these did not have the best rollover either. The Whirlpool direct drives and the older GE washers had a much better rollover than this. Although the older GE washers were also kind of built on the cheap side but they seemed a bit more reliable and they also have more powerful agitation so that’s why I think the older GEs were better.
This washer is definitely not the best thing ever but is certainly better than what is made today. The old GEs and the Whirlpool Direct Drives were better. But this washer does not go chug chug like the old GEs and the Whirlpool Direct Drives.
The indexing tub was a Westinghouse thing. When GM sold Frigidaire to White Consolidated Industries the 1-18 rollermatic was discontinued. WCI aquired the Westinghouse appliance division in 1974. The Frigidaire from that point (1979) was a Westinghouse machine with a Frigidaire control panel. They kept the ramp style agitator for the White-Westinghouse. The ramp agitator was best for this type of machine.
amberlynn6914 with a stationary tub the rollover would be more effective for sure. I had one of these and sold it because I felt like the turnover wasn’t so great because of the tub
hell i fell asleep watching it fill with water lol I have this same machine wouldn't trade it for a brand new one if you gave to me but your water pressure sucks or maybe you should try cleaning the screens
the tub spinning causes the water to just swirl around and in turn the clothes only turn around in circles and don't really have a good turnover. If it oscillated left and right that would be a much better design IMHO.
@@BAFVintage It does turn them over when it’s not overloaded with clothes. Plus you don’t need turnover to get clothes clean, when the tub does half the work. This washer just does it in a different way. The clothes rub against each other and the wash tub to get clean. Similar to a front load washer but in a top load form factor.
These plastic tub Frigidaires were not good machines. If this dies, get a direct drive and that will last over 15 years. For brand new, get a Speed Queen. These also lacked tub breaks. Older doesn’t always mean good. You can also buy a really old Frigidaire. 2000s Frigidaires we’re not good machines. No modern Frigidaire washer is good. Frigidaire is only good at making kitchen appliances, not laundry.
WCI era Frigidaire air conditioners were great, idk what was with their washes. I'd still take this washer over a new machine any day. I have a Lady Kenmore Series 90 (just a fancy Whirlpool direct drive) that gets anything clean I can throw at it.

These new belt drive washers are horrible
This washer is weak very weak
I used to have one and used it till one of the fins at the bottom of the agitator broke off 😋

These machines are by Electrolux but they are Old School Westinghouse Washers

I bought one with the straight vane agitator in 2003. Great machine, wish I still had it.

I have a washer like this. Gets the job done with no issues.
Until today when it DIED. Damn it Frigidaire.
In all seriousness, it had a good life though. 19 years of heavy usage.
It's a back up washer. My main washer is a 1974 Maytag.
I'm sorry to hear that!
@@ATonkaTruck Had the same machine, but the transmission shot in 2016. lasted a good 14 YEARS! I miss it soooo much
Because these washers have indexing tubs. They do better with straight vain/ single action agitator

@@coolrobuxgamingbruh I see you on every Frigidaire washing machine video
Reminds me of my old washer
Please quadruple the speed on the filling part. Like watching paint dry. Otherwise everything's good thank you
You have underloaded it. Use less water for a load that size.
do more videos on this washer!!!
This washer is definitely not the best thing ever but is certainly better than what is made today. The old GEs and the Whirlpool Direct Drives were better. But this washer does not go chug chug like the old GEs and the Whirlpool Direct Drives.
May you show this machine doing the delicates cycle and or the Colors cycle thank you.
I have this washer and if the tub had a brake maybe the turnover would be better
A person named Sam Or they should have designed the auger to turn down on the half stroke instead of the quarter stroke.

Yeah I agree. The tub brake would be better and the turnover would be better without the indexing on the tub.
That would make it worse only, the agitator needs to turn in the opposite direction of the indexing tub.
I really want to modify one of these to have a stationary tub.

Yeah I know it would work 100 times better if the tub didn’t index
I have this machine for15 years.is great but now wheels give up,so I look for parts.

Hi this is Frigidaire
no even though the title says frigidaire, its a maytag whirlpool kenmore agitatormachine
@@BAFVintageno it’s not, Whirlpool which owns all of those companies has never owned Frigidaire.
Dónde hay de esas
Weres the tag number? I cant find mine
PlanesAndSirens Probably around the front back of the control panel, or on one of the top corners of the lid.
PlanesAndSirens try looking at the top right corner of your lid when you open it
Hot water
Almost all the condos we stayed at in North Carolina had the stacked model of this but with the straight vane agitator. The indexing tub is awful.
I never really liked the indexing tub either, but it’s what makes Frigidaire’s different.
How is it awful? The tub is ribbed and helps wash the clothes better.

@@BAFVintage The older GE and Whirlpool direct drive rollover is definitely different than this tho.
What terribly low water pressure!

That's a load of horseshit, mine is 21 years old.
@@AlexTraxxas Remember the Tide Pod Challenge? That was when teens were eating laundry detergent pods. That’s dangerous don’t do it
