Anyone know the capacity of that particular GE dryer? I've got one just like it and the interior of the drum seems huge - the opening likewise - if you'll notice the larger door on some of the older GEs. It seemed to dry very fast to me. Just curious about it's capacity.

Hi Bob, maybe when the 1-18 was introduced it may have been one of the biggest dryers across the entire FD line, but I am quite sure that the GE in question is bigger, also many of the Norge-Wards dryers were bigger than the 27" wide FDs. And bigger still is the limited model that WP built for Sears in 1969, I have one of these 31" wide dryers and it is huge, unlike the big GE the drum is full diameter all the way to the front of the dryer [ on the GE the drum diameter is really cut down at the front for the bearing slides ].
Sears carried this dryer so they could say they had a bigger dryer than Wards who was beating up on Sears over capacity of washers and dryers in the late 60s. John L. |
