the reason they were turned in was the washer was noisy and the dryer stopped randomly mid cycle. the dryer turned out to be an incorrect door switch. The throw is too short and even with the door closed, it'd not always show closed. The customer even taped a bumper to the inside door to help. The washer was clean underneath. |

Once I changed the belt, I fed it a load of towels. Nice wash action. Quiet power indeed. Of course, I shot a little video...

They cleaned up very well. Here they are washing and drying side by side. All purty! These hold a special place in my mind as I remember my Grandmother in Laguna Beach, CA. having this exact set in white. I had fond memories helping her do the laundry in them as a kid. I had found the mini basket really neat.

These were certainly well taken care of! The quick agitation stroke is wicked fast! More options on both the washer, and especially the dryer, than you can shake a stick at. Seeing beauties like these initially headed to the crusher really makes one wonder what treasures gets crushed on a daily basis around the US!! |

Beautiful, just beautiful set. The GE guys may know more - but would this be one of the last dryers to have a foot pedal? If I'm reading the serial number correctly, both were MFG'd in May of 1968. Even without the serial numbers, they have the early V16 badge from '68, where my '69 has the later Heavy Duty badge. Ben |

What a gorgeous set and thank you for saving them, keeping them and posting them. The washer is another f**king GE oddball model. It is just one step below their TOL for that year that, I believe, didn't even feature the panel light. No timed bleach dispenser, just a bleach funnel, the timer dial is standard without the programmed soak feature. The dryer is a standard catalogue model from that year. They must have jury-rigged these models with spare sparts from the production line. Was the mini-basket in the machine? And, if you would be so kind, could you post some shots of the activator with or without? |

Andrew. What a grogeous set!!!! WOW Keep these and get rid of a Maytag set. The Ge's wash so much better. I know, I had both. Does anyone else agree with me here about the Ge's washing better than the Tags?? |

My former neighbor Thelma - from across the street - had this set in white. I always thought they were very classy looking. IIRC they bought them in '67 or '68, and kept them until the early 80's when they got the Toast colored Kenmore set. |

RCD......these are magnificent machines. They should have kept the fins extending beyond the plate, making for better wash action, when they switched to 4 vane instead of instituting the abbreviated fins which just can compete with the ramp. Only time I use the 4 vane is for delicate stuff like sweaters, and of course for the mini-basket; otherwise it's ramp ramp ramp all the way. Again, you have the coolest job in the world and thanks a million for sharing. When you get a chance would you give me the YouTube title for your flick, since I have to enter YT through an email screen. Beautiful, beautiful stuff. |

Mickeyd The title is "GE Washer Agitation" Enjoy! Lebron, I assume you're talking about the picture of underneath the washer. That is the web drive. It goes by several names but it's a coupler between the clutch and the pump. When the chassis (tub, motor, etc) moves around during wash, etc. the coupler allows movement of it while the pump stays in one place. Now that you mention it, I might shoot a little video of the drive train while it's washing so you can see it in action. Stay tuned! Hey Appnut, where did you get Kevin from? LOL! RCD |

I bet this is a 1968 model. Perhaps one model above or below mine (probably above). The dryer is my exact model and is a very good dryer. Mine is on the fritz though and is now out of service. (keeps shorting out for some reason) They are both stunning though! Looks like the transmission may be a little worn. Agitation looks great but there's some indexing that shouldn't be occuring. Otherwise it is awesome!!! Congrats on an incredible find! |
