On this website I see a lot of the GE filter-flo thing where water is pumpted into the tub passing through the filter thing on the top of the agitator. Wasn't there once an agitator that would force water up through the agitator to be sprayed out into a similar filter at the top of the agtitator? Which machines did that? Just curious.

Hotpoints from the early sixties to the early seventies did that too. They called it a fountain filter. Water got sucked up through a series of holes in the base of the agitator and then got regurgitated out of the top of the agitator into a filter pan that was essentially similar to the ones on the GE's. According to the 1969 edition of Consumer's Reports, these had to be taken apart periodically and cleaned. They seriously downrated Hotpoints for many sins, that being one of them.

stopped up? I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...but it stands to reason the agitator would become plugged over a period of time...what were they thinking | ||

Whirlpool filters GE's filter flo is the best design in my opinion, but what about the Whirlpool and Kenmore design with the filter in the top of the tup that was removable? | ||

They were good also, better than the self cleaning ring under the tub. | ||
