Frigidaire Custom Deluxe Australian Model

Amazing find with this pristine Frigidaire Custom Deluxe washing machine with built in heater!
Needs a bit of TLC but will be in top condition once done :-)

My grandmother, who was Canadian I'm from the US, Had a Rollermatic. The was action is mesmerizing. I'm a certain age and can just barely remember her using it.
While watching various GM Frigidaire washing machine videos, it's amazing how quickly the dump their water and spin. (The Rapid Dry and Unimatic models.)

I didn't think these beautiful machines made it outside the United States... Great find!!! I sure as hell want to own a Unimatic even though I'm in England

Almost identical to my nans machine although the main control panel was more of a silver colour on hers, maybe it was the Imperial Deluxe, was 20 years ago so stretching the memory. My grandfather worked for Holden and purchased the machine directly from the Frigidaire factory at Fishermans Bend at GMH, you're a lucky guy to have found one at all let alone in this pristine original condition 👍👍👌

Hi Mattie, my aunt has an almost identical one you have, same kind of facia on the panel, the only difference was on the options dial it had "Cold Soak Rinse" instead on what yours had "Cold Rinse" and the other thing is on the dial while yours has a head cycle (I presume that cycle was a soak cycle) my aunts Frigidare model wasn't a heat cycle, hers was "Fill, Soak, Spin, OFF) The fabric options is identical to what she had. Her model also had 2 drain hoses and i assume yours would be the same.

Lovely find. Any info on how the heater works? I'm from the U.S. and have never heard of such a thing on these guys.
