Hello everybody. I was wondering when GE washers came out with the push to start button and cycle light features. I was under the impression that it was 2000. What else can you tell me about these models? I am also interested in how powerful the post filter-flo washer turbo pumps are. Thank you.

the earlier "plastic"GEs used an Italian made"vortex"type centrifugal pump designed with large internal clearances in order to pass debris in the drainwater without jamming-a shaded pole,fan-cooled,"fartfan"type motor turns this pump at around 3000 RPM.Later versions use a permanent magnet,sealess,wet rotor,"magnetic" pump that runs at 3600 RPM-my hydrowave has this style and I can report it is fairly loud but pumps out fast :)
Comes to the Rescue!
