the hint is the little port you see at 1 o’clock on the rim under the lid, that is the nozzle for the filter steam…PAT COFFEY

it looks like the filter pan is missing???
you should contact the seller and ask them if they still have the filter pan that sits on top of the agitator.
just a suggestion....

if you decide to get it, GOOD LUCK!!!

It is a FILTER FLO, BUY IT NOW!!!! Great price. It looks like a model without the Mini-Basket option, and is likely standard capacity instead of extra large, but they are great machines. Easy to source parts and repair, great turnover and filtering and rinsing, even the smaller basket is still a damn fine size.

I have a variety of 60's and 70 makes/models from various manufacturers, but if I could only ever keep one machine for daily use for my household, it would be a Filter-flo.

Once you get it, post pictures and model #, between this website and Ebay you'll find the filter pan and fabric softener dispenser. If it doesn't have the Mini-Basket option, you'll live.

$40 GE FF

It is going to need a good cleaning under the top from all the cold water washing, you can even see around the lid how skanky it probably is.

The good thing about running a GE FF in the Toledo area about now is that it will help flush the water mains with all the water FFs guzzle, I don't think there was ever a washer that did less laundry with so much water.

It actualy looks like an XL capacity model. Besides the fact it says it, it has that funky agitator cap extension on it.
It also has that sweet rampy agitator.

We had a very similar, but slightly newer version of the same washer, and it was an excellent machine. Yes, it used lots of water, and yes, it was noisy, but it cleaned clothes wonderfully, and wasn't too rough on them. Ours only ran on the Normal speed setting though. With that spiral agitator you can really cram the clothes in and still have great turnover. Make darn sure the drain hose is TIGHT! I flooded our laundry room, bathroom and hallway once when it came off the washer as it was going into a spin. That's when you wish it didn't use so much water!

EXTRA LARGE

You are correct, I missed that part of the console shot. So it's HUGE and $40 and you MUST GET IT

Somehow I seem to see a LOT of General Electric--and I mean GENERAL ELECTRIC!--washers of this sort & repairable / restorable / in good running condition, than any other make--or at least Most Desirable!

not a mini-basket option?......


nothing that can't be changed!

once you have the base, many things can be changed and altered to your liking....but I wouldn't know anything about that!

hope you grabbed it

Did you get it, Eric??


The filter-flo's are a great machine. And yes, it's the extra-large capacity. General Electric didn't lie when they they said that on the control panel. lol

As Dustin said, the spiral ramp agitator does a much better job at turnover than GE's straight vane. You can cram it clear up to the plastic guard at the top of the basker and the clothes will still turnover. On my Frigidaire 1-18's, which I love, if you overload the machine rollover just stops. I have never been able to cram so much into the Filter-Flos that it couldn't turn the load over, nor get the load beautifully clean.

The Filter-Flo's are easy to repair, and parts are readily available due to the great number of machines produced.

You will love it!!
