I've had my Filter Flo since the end of December and while I like it, I wanted something more, specifically the mini-basket/mini-wash. Ideally I'd like to have an older TOL or nearly TOL machine with a lighted control panel, but here on the West Coast they are not in abundance. (Granted I have not been searching that hard either.) So during a trip to the appliance "junkyard" in Phoenix, I scored the complete control panel off of a machine with "mini-wash". They also happened to have the correct mini-basket for my machine on a shelf inside the shop. So here is the control panel "before"..... 4 rigid water levels, pretty plain looking and monotone cycles.

So today I finally got around to swapping out the control panels on the filter flo. Having never done this I took my time and made sure everything was compatible. Here is the control panel now.... different colors for the cycles, infinite water level adjustment WITH mini-wash (Yay!), a touch of (fake) wood grain and I gained a soak cycle AND water temp adjustment for the rinse! Again, YAY!

Three words...
FAB-BU-LOUS I've done this many times, the best one (but hard to find) was a potscrubber model I changed to, this one has a valve to shut off the filter flo and a solid tub style mini-basket(no holes on bottom or near the agitator) my mother's GE V12 had the filter flo intake from the side of the outer drum, not from the bottom, so I could never install the mini-basket option.... | ||

Nice job, Kevin. Did you change the entire washer harness, o Hi Jesse, When I acquired the "new" console, I was actually planning to take the entire harness from that machine intact, but I was short on time, so I cut it as far down as possible. Saturday when I opened the console on my machine, I discovered the harness was almost identical, the only real difference being the addition of a blue wire for the cold/warm rinse temp switch in the harness from the "new" console. There was even an empty slot in the "big plug" that plugs into the timer where this blue wire is supposed to go. So all I had to do was transfer that wire into my machine and presto-change-o, it's a new machine! BTW.... Nice Porsche! That is the 924, not the 944, right? | ||

Actually the "new"console, based upon product line-up I was exposed to when I bought my machine, was 2nd from TOL. The next model up was the one I had with 3 wash/spin speed combos and a 2nd rinse little knob next to the water level knob. In place of the soak & prewash settings, that was where the separate mini-quick cycle was. The TOL machine did away with the 2nd rinse and that as used for cold wash, cold rinse, or "normal" temp settings on the 5 pre-programmed cycle buttons (instead of toggle switches).

Off topic... but it's my thread so I can hi-jack it, rig Kenny, Sorry about the 924 / 944 confusion, it's been quite a while since I've looked at one. Yes, GREAT car! I used to go road racing with the Porsche Owners Club here in So Cal (in my Mustang) and it was a lot of fun! I've had a chance to drive a 944 (among others) on the track and WOW, the 944 is very smooth, very stable and lots of torque! | ||
