Vintage Frigidaire
Washer Bellows Seal
Sorry, I Recently Sold Mine Out
But a few may still
be available on Ebay
HERE

This
is Frigidaire (GM) OEM part #5433576 (later 5305433576) - the outer, or 'water' bellows
seal that was used under the (up/down) agitator in the most
efficient top-load washer design ever invented. This one has a 'D'-shaped top
hole, as opposed to the later version (#638860
- I still have just a few good/used ones!) that had the larger (13/16") round hole and rounded
pleats.
I
remember when this job was common - 'wish I had a dollar for every
one of these I've replaced over the years, and every nail I pulled
out of the originals! I think my left leg's longer than my right from
putting it into Frigidaire washer tubs to hold them while I wrestled the agitator nut
off to replace these! (Hint: use an 18" extension on your ratchet wrench;
makes it WAY easier)
This
particular 'outer' bellows was used under the agitators of all Frigidaire
washers, 1959 thru 'P' (1969) Models. Also in models WL-60,
WL-64, WO-65, WO-65-2, WV-65, WI-56, WDU-57, WI-57, WI-58, WCI-58,
WCIR-58, and I've probably missed a few. In other words, this was a
VERY popular bellows that's about to become 'no
longer available'! ( Note: I also had a few inner
bellows left, but sadly, they're all gone now)
Tip:
Before installing, slip the retainer snap ring up into the second fold,
hold the lower end of this part under a hot water faucet to warm
it, then stretch it out with your hands. Makes it a lot easier on
your thumbs when you install it!
Note:
please contact me to check availability.
Every once in a while I do still find one or two.
Thank
you!
