Does anyone have any information, brochures or feature pictures of this washer? I remember in the past seeing this style washer advertised that had the straight 4-vane called the "HEAVY DUTY" Agitator and the "HANDWASH" agitator. | ||

Hotpoint!
The early 70's model was still the real Hotpoint design. I remember when the switched to the GE design around 74 the model with the handwash adj came out. We had the TOL 77 model which I liked a lot with the filter ring. I liked these better than the GE filter pan which always got in the way. And also to me the handwash adj was better than the mini basket anyway. Peter | ||

Wrong dates My dates are wrong, I want the GE design. The filter-flo pan is one of GE's signature features, although COOL, it does get in the way. With the self-cleaning filter ring, you get to WATCH the washing and spinning action. Too bad, the filter pan is the only way washer can handle lint the removal. | ||

Instead of the water shooting out into a filter pan, that same stream of water as sent down through the filter ring. During the spin and spray rinse, the lint was flushed out of the ring--thus "self-cleaning". Personally, I think that arrangement reduced the effectiveness of the spin spray rinse and that was borne out of the Tuscon Washins when there was one of those Hotpoints tp play with at Roger[s house, along with a GE FF.

Outer tub question Was the outer tub of the GE Filter-Flo, Hotpoint, Filter-rim models attached to the top of the machine? Did it sit flush with the top? Just curious. | ||

I've taken apart a GE FF.
The top of the outer tub on a circa 1978 GE FF is open. There is a rubber gasket that goes around the top of the outer tub which seals against the underside of the top when the top is closed. I am doing this from memory so I hope I'm accurate. One disadvantage of the Hotpoint RF is that it tends to collect lint on the underside of the top which can mold and also rust the top. My great grandmother had one where the top rusted through from the underside because of lint buildup. As Rube Goldberg as the GE clutch is, the machines do perform! Dave | ||

I think they had the Rube Goldberg to keep the "filter flo" running constant and full speed, with "low" speed washing. Did the Single speeds have this complicated clutch? alr2903 | ||

GE/HP Tub Setup
Since there was some discussion I thought I'd post apic of the Rim-Flo setup. The white collar of the inner tub is the filter rim and it takes the place of the Filter-Flo "hat" of the GE's. Water is pumped through a 90 degree flume during operation and the ring sifts the lint out. The machine's fill flume is also positioned within the ring and when the machine fills and spray rinses it does so through the ring, which has a perforated bottom. During the spin cycle, centrifugal force and spray rinses throw the collected muck into the outer tub where the spinning water flushes it away. I agree with appnut in that the spray rinses leave something to be desired due the water having to go through the filter-ring and not penetrating with enough force. Also, the underside of the top should be periodically checked since the outer tub is fixed to the cabinet and seals to actual top. In terms of lint collection on the filter-ring and muck, I've noticed that if you do not do "full" water level washes often, the water from the spin cycle doesn't always flush the upper tub ring area very well, more so if you have a wearing clutch. Just my 2 cents, and a pic.

Scans of the sales manual Hi to all who had interest in the manuals. The washer portion was 21 pages, so I'm not sure how that will be handled by the website, but here goes.

The Hotpoint washer I'm thinking about is a later 70's, early 80's Top-Of-the-Line model that has a straight 4-vane 2-in-1 handwash agitator. Has anyone ever seen the Hotpoint straight vane? I think their agitator is better than GE's straight 4-vane agitator. | ||
