GE Harmony to get a window, heater |

GE has announced that its top-loading Harmony washer will be getting a see-through lid and internal water heater. Yay! It's been many years since the US has had a top loader with a window and this one has a fast spin to watch too! (No need for magnets to trip the safety switch anymore.)This new version is also bilingual. GE goes on to make the claim that GE washers are the most dependable. (!) Be it true that "the dependable people" with the (once) lonely repairman have gone down the sewer in recent years and Consumer Reports has improved GE's frequency of repair rating the last few years, that claim may still be a stretch! But at least we have a window. CLICK HERE TO GO TO golittlesport's LINK | ||

heating element Probably about the only thing a heating element can do is maintain temperatures. Otherwise it would mean LONG cycle times, which may not be an issue if you do your hot water washing last. | ||

GE Harmony The article states that you can stuff 24 towels into the washer. This would be quite heavy. Couldn't that wreck the thing? Unless they're talking dish towels! But bath towels? Jerry | ||

Good For GE!
I love the new see through lid! It looks like it’s the same design as my machine so I should be able to order it. I couldn't be more thrilled that GE has decided to put a window in a top loader! I have to wonder what made them decided to do that. I wonder if they have been reading our posts here and at the Appliance Forum. I would think some of our comments would be help spur the imagination of the designers and engineers. The last window made in a top loader was probably the first WCI design after buying Frigidaire in the early 80's. | ||

Window lids are cool! Westinghouse in Australia are selling top loaders with window lids! They are great looking machines style wise, with a nice blue control panel. Download the PDF brouchure for some pictures of agitator and wash bowl, or look at the specs online :) CLICK HERE TO GO TO arrrooohhh's LINK | ||

Server sluggishness can cause multiple postings, if the post did "take" but the page doesn't refresh after and you don't realize that and post again. For those who run into the problem often, a workaround is to copy your post text before hitting Submit. If it goes wonky, then go back and to the original thread, or to the topic area if you are posting a new thread, refresh is there to see if your addition does appear. If not, bring up the posting screen again and paste in your previously-copied text. Using a browser that supports a tabbed interface, such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera, faciliates opening multiple views for easily checking if a post was successful. | ||

Thanks Glenn, I couldn't agree more. I've been thinking about adding a routine to my "create post" program that will save a copy of the 1st paragraph text of the very last post into a data-file. The next time someone goes to add their post, the system will open this data-file and compare the 1st paragraph of the new post with the 1st paragraph of the very last post, if they match I will have the system display a message that the post has already be saved. This should prevent not all, but 90% of the duplicate posts. Of course if two people want to respond with the exact same words in a post within a few minutes of each other, they wont be able to, but that should be very rare. The only problem with this is at first the new code might be buggy and there is a chance of someone losing a post. I think the thing for everyone to remember is once you hit post, please wait until the server responds, sometimes it could take up to 30 seconds or so, even though you post was written properly in the first second or two after you click on the button.
