 "Water Heater" setting!
Boy does that get hot and WORK!
See the famous GE "Jet-Steam" system at work !
The heaters stay on for the first of the 5 rinses, by the second rinse they are off. But the heat builds to cycle end. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Jetcone's LINK This post was last edited 02/08/2015 at 17:12 | ||

Thanks for sharing the video Does it spin after each drain? I read that the first model with the transmission did more spinning. That's pretty dramatic dial lighting. | ||

 I love combo steam rolling out of the machine like that. They should have kept the water heat option. The Maytag combo used their top-mounted radiant heater as an option in the wash cycle as well and it could get pretty steamy but I was really only to maintain the temp level, I don't think it had time to raise the temp much if at all.
That is a beautiful, and rare machine. | ||

They got the idea from Bendix whose Duomatic used about a 3kw immersion heater, but no timer hold. Kenmore and WP did have a timer hold for their water heating which was by immersion element in the electric models. | ||

I was wondering if the red color for the spin portion of the cycle is a warning, certainly not of the speed, but perhaps of the heat that builds during the preheating before the dry. | ||

Jon, with the transmission, does it go into spin faster than the variable sheave pulley system of slowly accelerating into spin? | ||
