Thanks to a tipoff from Matthew (GEextraRinse) I won this manual on eBay. Its for the early AW6 GE washer, the 1948 model, mine is an earlier 1947 model and you can see how they redesigned the machine slightly for 1948. Also notice in the installing instructions there is no instructions on how to adjust the leveling legs. That's because they didn't have any! It wasn't until 1950 that GE put leveling legs on their machines. Wouldn't be good on an uneven floor. I added branded new leveling legs to my 1947 machine to make it more stable. Thanks Matt!

I will never understand why GE made so many changes to this design-----at least for the first five years anyway. They had a great thing going on. Should have kept the high speed spin until they had to give it up with the Perf.tub FF's. |

that so much thought went into these early G.E. Automatics and the ease of removing the washbasket for cleaning. I think we can probably speculate that most of the owners of these and other early automatics didn't really follow the Use and Care Instructions very well. Otherwise, there would still be lots of these machines left for us to enjoy. |

why did the top on the AW6 have to be replaced? Because the top had rails that hold the porcelain subtop down and seals the outer tub. The rails has rusted away so bad on the original top that the subtop would could have fallen down into the outer tub and come in contact with the 1140rpm spinning basket. I couldn't take the chance of that kind of damage. |
