this one was listed here recently in columbus ohio. i bought it for 50 bucks and picked it up last week! i love top loaders and this is my 4th g.e. built top loader using the vertical pump and motor system.
these g.e.'s are my favorite and i will keep grabbing them as long as they come along for a reasonable price!

motor and pump
removed easily! these g.e.'s are usually very easy to dismantle!
this being a later model has a plastic lower drain pump and two plastic ports for the drain hose and power shower hose. the earlier models used a metal pump and drain ports. larry in parma told me they switched to plastic as the ports on the metal ones would break off. little g.e. trivia here!

the impeller on this
one is a bit chewed up. and ofcourse there are none available for replacement.
if anyone does know of any parts supply places like modern parts in parma, oh. that may have parts for these vertical pump g.e. machines please let me know. i know larry at modern parts has nothing, i bought the last pump seal he had about 3 years ago. someone out there has to have some parts for these machines!

even a bit
chewed up, this impeller will work fine for the amount of service this machine will get from me. i'm gonna let it soak for a good while and try again to gently remove this impeller. i also sprayed a good bit of wd 40 into the seal area of this pump.
i will come back to this machine at a later time, don't have time to deal with replacing that broken plexiglass peice right now. but regardless of whether that impeller does eventually come off or not i think that pump will run fine and not leak! i will post pics of the completed restore of this machine later when i can get to it. all in all it's a beautiful g.e. built hotpoint top loader from 1968 and i am very grateful to have been able to grab it!

beautiful kittys
aldspinboy, the one on the left looks just like my cat i has a a child. her name was 'friskie" and i got her in 1966! they look all comfy in that chair!
thanks bajaespuma, it's on my front porch and it's night time so i have to wait till morning to read the model no. if you have a lead on any parts i do know that any g.e. vertical mount motor and pump are the same parts. i have 4 top loaders and one front loader that use these pumps and they are interchangable. i'll post it in the morning. thanks again! | ||
