Hi Everyone,
I just got this little GE portable washer from a appliance dealer, he said its never been thru a cycle. It was in his showroom then in the back room since the 70's I plugged it in today, then blue sparks came from the lid switch, now it wont do anything, does anyone have any ideas for me to make it run? Or live near Orlando that can come look at it with me? Thank you so much.. | ||

I would bet the warranty on this machine is no longer effective if it dates back to the 70's.Bet you will e on your own on this one.Guess couldn't hurt to contact GE and ask. | ||

Fun search time!
It is time for you to visit ALL the old appliance shops in town, get to know the "old timers" behind the desk and tell your tale.
After you find someone to take on your repair, deliver the entire washer TO THEM. Pick it up when it's done. You've not only bought a fun washer, but you got to know all the important people in town. Jump in the car! You've got people to meet! | ||

Hi Laundryboy. I remember seeing those in the GE store where I lived in PA. My one coworker had a Sears one she used in her apartment. I have fixed computers for a living and played with some appliances but never had the room to really collect them. would love to try and help you if I could. Where in the Orlando area do you live? I live west of Disney in Davenport near Haines City which is South Route 27 on the way to Legoland. You can contact me through the email in my profile.

Gravity drain... Were'nt some of these models gravity drain (with no drain pump)? I don't see any drain pump in the way of the white drain hose... | ||
