I was finally able to find the ge filter flo washer and dryer set i been looking for, that is thanks to craigslist! Had to go to Blossburg PA. to get them. Long drive but was worth it. I knew when i saw them on the internet that they were mine lol. I have never saw the washer or dryer like these here where i live, that is except for the one my mom had when i was just a kid. Ive looked everywhere i knew to like at habbitat, all the used appliance stores and everywhere else. I have wanted these for so long. Here r the pics....

Bottom Of the Line, pared down economy model
Top Of the Line, all the bells and whistles, as they say.
Funny, I just came up from washin' my kicks in the GE, Mini-level without the basket, ramp agi, Gentle wash speed. The ramp agitator was perfect for this. They came out great.
Glad you got your dreams. Wonderful! You must be soooooo happy. |

Is the dryer Large capacity also?.......hard to tell, but it should be considering the age and year.....the larger ones have a concave in the rear of the drum....also the back of the machine has a 2 inch extension......
these are super great machines....I have 4 washers and 3 dryers...enjoy..... yours is similar to mine....machines with these cycles, temps, speeds, and levels.....freakin endless.....you could not ask for more..... you will use that MINI level with or without that MiniBasket, and the MiniQuick cycle, more than you will ever know..... only thing I would recommend....flip the fill flume over on itself.....directs all water to the load, really great for the spin rinse.......drama of the waterfall ain't bad either.....also while the top is up, use a cable tie around the lid switch for operation while the lid is open... |

Michael, talk about washer drama in a picture! I hope the floor mopping was worth it. Actually, whom am I kidding? Of COURSE it was!!! LOL!
Doug, that set looks so clean and minty! Congrats on a wonderful score! Now all we have to do is find the large opening mini basket to go with that big filter pan... RCD |

Next version.....this is where your thumbs come in handy......all I did was flipped it over on itself, this is reversable, done in seconds, just don't turn machine on until you have snapped the top back down, again, a really nice wide fan spray down across the clothes, you may even notice better rinsing, and more suds coming out of the hose....

How the sunb back looks just like a nose, too funny, but I'll probably do the circumcision.
Thanks, Guys, now I can have a proper spray rinse, so spoiled as I am by the Easy Rinse cone. I can't wait to do it.
Andy, it happened in the garage, concrete floor on a slope to the drain, no problem, When more senile, I'll try it in the kitchen on a day when the floor is dirty.

Wow Mickey.......what a true honor to be considered.....if we all carry a little Terry in all of us, it would be a better world......gone, but never forgotten....
I am curious as to how you made out, and what you think of the results.... for a softener dispenser, you can get one on ebay, check the link.......send him your model number and he will tell you if this one is for yours, this is a great guy to work with, if this is not the right one, he may have the one, just not listed, ....... I have gotten parts off him, that he did not have listed, and still inexpensive...... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on eBay |

Thanks Yogitunes for the link-I've contacted Pandorasoem to see if I can get a dispenser for my machine. I believe the part number I am looking for is WH47M33 which from what I can see looks exactly like the one in the photo above, but I guess if the one on Ebay will fit my filter, it's better than nothing.
Thanks too for the tip about flipping the fill flume inside out. Tried that tonight on my machine, and it works great. Definitely a better spray pattern, especially during the spin spray rinse. |

I don't know why they have so many part numbers for the same part.......and theres nothing different about them....all the same style and color.....but as long as it fits, and it should, your good to go........GE FF only had 2 sizes of filters, either the wide, or the thin, and the late 70's thru the 90's all had the same type of center post.......
but that new spray pattern is amazing, isn't it?.....especially since it now sprays the clothes, and not behind the tub....more effective! let me know if you find one on ebay, I can still check around....they still turn up here and there..... |

Just did it. At first the rubber was too stiff to turn back, so pouring a pyrex 2 cup of boiling water slowly over, softened it up, and she bent back real nice.
But the shocker: as I watched the waterfall spray I realized that by lifting the rim veil, the stream would reach the mini-basket. So I stopped the spray rinse and popped in the basket, YIKES, a perfect reach, and it works with or without the filter pan. Thanks again,
There was one Turquoisedude moment when I realized that the filter-flo nozzle did not go all the way in, causing a filter-drizzle so I had to pop the top again and fix.
All these years of disappointment that a 10 minute fix resolved. Many thanks, Mister! |

GE FilterFlos are still plentiful.........it was a year ago, I had gotten 6 washers and 2 dryers within a 2 week period, not to mention several other members finding them too.......I had so many I was giving them away.....
When Doug starts his Video...we should start a new thread of pics of our GE FilterFLos.... who knows, a few members may have some for sale..... |
