Well possums, it all has to do with the mini wash and washing my delicates. You know, spraying from the 12 o'clock position just couldn't reach all the nooks and crannies of my unmentionables so GE took my advice and moved it to the 2 o'clock position. They're still paying me royalties for my old fashioned idea!

Oh, oh! oh! I know! I know!, wait a minute(I'm on schpilkes!) Because (thanks to the WA655V you sent me), the filter flo supply hose on the newer V-12 models comes through the outer tub at the 2:00 position anyway, so the engineers must have said, why waste all that extra rubber making it come out at 12:00 just to make it look like the older machines? That machine is like butter! If you wanted to make a video of this machine in action with you spinning the Rotary Fabric Dial, no one would complain. |

Even the sounds of your spinning those dials are classic. Also, describe your favorite detergent/additives used in this classic machine. Looking forward to that next GE video. My GE Appliances folder has plenty of room.--Laundry Shark |

Does anyone have a picture of the matching dryer? Did it also have a "Rotary Fabric Dial"? I'm kicking myself, because some years ago a neighbor of mine I think had one of these in her garage(along with a bunch of other vintage beauties)in turquoise. Even though I recognized it as a 1961 GE TOL dryer, I didn't pursue it. Didn't have either the imagination of the pluck to ask to buy it. And, of course, it must have gone to the dump. |

I agree Jon, that backpanel light is so welcoming and don't you just love the little red arrow light above the dial!! |
