So I (re)found this washer dryer set in the barn for the apartment at my parents place (it's complicated) 😋 and after I scrubbed the muddy paw prints and other detritus off of it, I ran a load of work clothes in it and fell in love with it! It works really well, I didn't think it would be so different from the other TL I've used, but the corkscrew agitator and heavy duty action and the filter system made a really satisfying wash.
I couldn't find a serial tag, but it was probably bought about '96.
Funny the things we take for granted. I'm tempted to trade out the old BOL whirlpool with this while I keep saving for the Speed Queens.
Does anyone have any more insight to its inner workings? Much appreciated

Nice rim-flow GE.

Look on the lower side of the cabinet or back of control panel for model tag.

The control panel looks '96-ish but the classic agitator and porcelain tub look earlier.  My mom's 2000 GE had a plastic tub and different agitator.   It was pretty much junk from day one. 

 

Yours looks better built -- like it might still have some of the old GE integrity -- and could have a decent life span.

My sister's mid 90's had a plastic tub and corkscrew agitator and it was junk, transmission blew oil all over its innards.  That looks like it would have some of the same internals as a FF.

I thought the same thing :o it was like the older better quality insides and the later clunky control panel..main thing is it works fantastic.
