Interesting
Again, another GE odd-ball. I'd love to find a GE exec or engineer who could explain these to me. Maybe they were made out of remnant parts or leftovers. Maybe they were trying, even back then, to cover all the bases. This is a "Y" model, so it's from 1964. It's an 810 so it's number indicates that it's really an MOL that's trying to look like a BOL. Even more interesting, to me at least, is that they've laid parts of the MOL control panel and dial over the BOL panel. Go figure. | ||

Spinout
That's a smart analysis. Given the really wide range of venues that club member machines come from, they could have been cast off from any number of places. When I first started researching this stuff back in 1969, one of the first things that impressed me was how GE and Whirlpool(another big contract vendor) seemed to have an infinite number of washer models, whereas Maytag, for example, had 4 models, the 906, 806, 606, and 206. It was years later I discovered(were they always there? They weren't in the early brochures)the 106 and the 406. I never saw a 506 or 706. I work in the restaurant business and it's like a low-brow joint with a 4 page menu(that makes fistfulls of cash) vs. a chef-owned establishment with a small bill of fare(that's adored by all the critics and the media, but never makes money on its own). | ||

The gray part of the control panel is porcelain if it is like similar models on the sales floor from that time. The long timed cycle gave the option of 115 volt operation. | ||

I don't know the specific answer to your question Steve, but I do remember that our V-12 dryer was rated as functional on 110v. I also remember the installation instruction sheet well enough to tell you that there was a 4th lead involved and they would operate on the auto-dry cycle but they recommended using the timed cycles. This is also why those GE dryers (except for the TOL's) all had a timed cycle that went up to 140 minutes(according to one serviceman I spoke to, that's how long an average load would need to dry on 110v). ...and just found manual for DA-920R:
