Very nice machine! And in such nice shape too, with the original copper filter pan. Enjoy!

Great Machine.. Love the copper filter flo tray

Congratulations Darrel a 1959 TOL GE! Santa sure has been good to us this year hasn't he!

Does it need much work?

How does the FF system work on a solid tub? Where does the recirculation pump draw in water? I'm only familiar with later filter flos.

Thanks,
Dave

The washer fills until the tub over flows. When enough water weight has accumulated in the outer tub to trip a round sensor under a rubber cover the washer begins to agitate and water cirulates from the bottom of the outer tub, causing the wash tub to overflow, etc, etc. This washer has a one spped motor and a two speed transmission by means of a clutch. The washer agitates on low speed for 30 seconds or so and then shifts into fast agitation. It's indexing tub slows roll over and there is no spray rinse between the wash and rinse cycle, a drawback. I used to pour water into the wash tub while it was spinning to rinse the soap out of the pump and hose to keep from ending up in the rinse. It was a real work horse, new in 1959 and washed until 1979. It left our family of 5 in 1970 and went to an aunt with no children, so it had a much easier life after that.

Please post more photos when your treasure is all cleaned up and ready to "rock and roll"

Robert, I will guess from an extra medium to a maximum
maximum amount of work will be required, I don't have of much
of a "grease thumb". Perhaps you and Neal could vacation in my
back yard in the '61 Airstream this summer. Between checking out the local points of interest you could offer some tips!

Bobo Pope:
Are you remembering to take your meds?
You keep a civil tongue in your unprepossessing mouth, you not so young man! I just might kick a leg offa that Julie London Coffee Table!!!

Wow, what a great find!! That is the first washer my mom had. Ours was white and my aunt had a turquoise set just like it. I was born in 62. That really brings back some memories. Does anyone around here have one of those they would like to part with??

I love it Darrel! Can't wait to see her all cleaned up.
Veg: I'll kick out the other leg!

Wow, Dick I knew your name was Dick Stevenson but I didn't know your middle name was Kenmore. I am really pleased for you to be finding so many models, all in one year. The beauty of it all is being able to use the newly aquired rebuild knowledge over and over.
As you know, the Pink GE you traded is the same model as the one I bought from high school speech teacher in 1967 for $25.oo. I learned all of it idosyncracies and was amazed we had an Automatic after years of not even having running water. We used it for three years, but draining the wash water after one use made my mom nuts. I bought a GE V-12 with a suds saver and mom traded the 60 GE to my aunt for a rocking chair. You couldn't kill it. It washed for my aunt until 1979 when she traded it in on a matching Whirlpool set.

Bethann drops in for another drive-by posting, and look what she has to say!

Please tell me how does the washtub 'overflow' when you push the water saver button on the right side of the control panel, and the tub does not fill to the top?

I remember my aunt having that exact machine. It was a workhorse.

There is a small cone shaped opening under the agitator that lets a small amount of water trickle through to the outer tub. It makes a gasping sound then all at once it spits out accumulated water and then more gasping. It Filter-Flos more like a creek in the August sun.

Darrel,

Congratulations on acquiring the filter flo you've had your
eye on for some time now. Fun times in are store for you.
Hope your Christmas was a good one.
