for commercial units....this front access panel allows serviceguys to fix most issues with these without moving them......the "insides" are reversed as to a filterflo you would have at home....
look closely and you can just see the tip of the filter spout at the 7 O' clock position... the only time I ever seen a filterflo in a laundromat, they were late 60's V14's, most of the pans were missing.....haven't seen any in use since then | ||

There's a laundromat not too far from me that has these exact washers. I've gone there a few times, but the place isn't kept up all that great. Only a handful of them work, in fact there are a lot of machines there that are broken down, and half the dryers don't work right either. I loved using the Filter Flos though. I wish they would fix up the rest of them.

Niceeee. I have always liked the front service design. It really does speed things up like motor and pump changes.
I dont think those are that rare, there is an apartment complex several towns over that has similar looking machines, (just used a tad harder) Someone will correct me on this but I think age wise this is late 80s early 90s? | ||

yeah, this model is from the 80's.....yet that drain hose is something found on a late 60's early 70's machine.....the ones I remembered had the black agitator with the blue cap
standard capacity, single speed, one cycle.....nothing really special, but one hell of a kickass workhorse..... and of course, and easy to bypass lid switch.... | ||

My grandparents lived in an 8-story building in Dunedin Florida which had a coin op laundry room for everyone to use. They moved there in 1974 or 1975 and the facility was equipped with 1971/72 or so Whirlpool washers in avocado.
In 1981 they got everything new, one for one, this time with GE Filter-Flos. I have seen quite a few of these since then, however the filter flume in these particular units was at the 1-o'clock or typical residential location. I don't recall them having removable front panels either, however I haven't seen them since 1986. A couple summers ago a menber here was traveling in Virgina or W VA somewhere (I think) and found an out of the way laundry that still had a whole row of shaded Harvest Gold filter flo coin ops. Can't remember the name of the thread though, but the place seemed like a time capsule. Gordon | ||
