Here is a dishwasher that is also going to be discarded. It works too but has developed some rust inside. Just putting it out there -- is there some rare part on this I should snatch? I suppose I could grab the timer...

Here is the rest of the kitchen. They are keeping these as they are in pretty good condition. Those push button and calrod units are the same as on my 48 stove (my stove lights up, though)

WOW I would love to have that dishwasher. It brings back memories. My aunt had the porable version and I used to love helping her load it and push the buttons. To bad you are so far from me =) Kenny | ||

Washer and Dryer Year Are these from the same year? The washer has toggle buttons but the dryer has push buttons? | ||

I kind of thought older than 80's also, because of the wire clothes guard. What year did they change to plastic? Northwesty those avocado GE's sure are purdy. alr2903 | ||

Those dishwashers might actually be louder than a bow-tie. Sounds like a Disposall complete with snapping solinoids. | ||

Paul is right, that is the first series PotScrubber. It should be saved. Those were VERY NICE appliances for a condo back then!!! I think I can see the oven is self-cleaning. and to answere wigwag's comment, it was pretty common for the md-line to higher end GE dryers to have push buttons and the lower end dryers toggle switches. And they are the same year.

These 1972-73's extra large washtubs look bigger (WIDER & DEEPER) than the 80's and 90's washers. I mean the ones that have this perforated 'HOLE' design. Can these tubs be 18 and up capacities? I understand there were 21 lbs. GE's at one time. Who's ever lucky enough to get these I envy you. | ||

Heavy Duty 18 My grandmother had the exact washer in white - same exact lettering on the control panel. She had a matching dryer that was not the "big door" type like yours appears to be. She purchased them new in 1973. Andrew S. | ||

Maiden wash, for me anyway Seems to work great except that overflow rinse there had me worried. It keeps going through the wash cycle. Didn't overflow though, this must use up alot of water! Looking under the skirt it seems to actually be in really good shape.

Off to new home Well. Brett Aka" Areuoneto" emailed me and said he was interested in these. I was only going to use them in the back yard so I was happy to see them go to a good home. Good luck with them Brett

WOW! Congratulations Brett (AKA) 'Areuoneto', I love this washer...you're a lucky guy. I hope you post great action videos on YouTube. There aren't any good GE washer videos that have an extra large tub with a Heavy Duty 18, straight 8-vane ACTIVATOR agitator. | ||

BTW, can anything be done about the worn-away black spots on the washtub? | ||

That dishwasher....
My friend actually has that dishwasher in use, only his is BOL. It is even the horrific green. It is loud as all hell, gets run at least 3 times a week, and never had a repair. I searched around and found it was made in '73. Cleaning, to me, is just so-so. The hot water at the sink registers 160, and while it will get food and crusty stuff off, it kinda just redistributes small pieces on the glasses in the top rack. But maybe 2-3 glasses a load...but last night it even took off the starch from cooking rice in a stainless pan. They sure do not make then like this anymore, though.....
