Here is my V-14 dryer - brought it back to Atlanta yesterday from Charlotte. I bought it from Gordon (THE Kenmore man). I was able to begin cleaning it up this afternoon, but still have a ways to go with it. It is the same dryer that FilterFlo passed along to Jim (frigiman) in Thread 19512, except Jim's is gas and mine is electric.

I remember when we replaced out 1957 GE Washer in 1962 What does the "V" stand for in V-12 and later V-16 ? Thanks, Eddie

Short History

I'm not sure if this is the only reason, but GE suffixes usually denote the year with a couple of exceptions:
P=1957
R=1958
S=1959
T=1960
no U(don't know why but model line changed)
V=1961, the first year the machines had a 12 lb. capacity and a perforated tub. The "V" designation stuck for about 7 years.
W=1962, but it was still labeled a "V-12"
X=1963, still "V-12"
Y=1964, still "V-12", control panel redesign.
no Z
A=1964, changed to "V-14"
