The later models by GE and Hotpoint in their absolute BOL models had nothing but a Normal cycle dial, no water temp or level switches and no recirculating filter or rim flow lint removal. But were built the same at the TOL models, just minus anything beyond a basic washer that washed for a much lower price. I know of people that had the oil problems with their GE's and got rid of them.

there can be a number of factors that would cause any machine to fail an early life......variables could be from, user error, detergents, iron/hard water, hard use, etc.....
there have been some that didn't make it far in life, and others that would seem to run for ever without a repair..... they can get a rep for being water hogs, but rinse very well, and handle just about any load you throw at it.....the minibasket and cycle can be a handy addition....

I love Filter-Flo and FF loves me too, Fillter Flo is the best! The agitator, the tub, controls and the filter pan are just great. BJ | ||

 The only repairs that any of the FF's that I knew of was when a sock would jump the wall into the outer tub and clog the drain. GE's were prone to that especially if one didn't heed the service people and switch to a low-sudsing detergent. The 1969 CU report indicated that the GE brand deserved a "better than most" repair history. | ||

Fine machines
I have 2 great Kenmores, a large tub center dial Maytag, 2 1-18's, a Norge, a solid Tub Speed Queen, and 2 GE FF's. If I had to choose one machine, it would be a GE Filter-Flo 2 speed. Versatile, turn over everything, great rinsing and filtering, problem free.
Not that I ever want to choose....... Kenmore's don't rinse as well, Maytag don't turn over or filter as well, Norge has long-term life issues, Speed Queen too small, 1-18's need weird, difficult maintenance....... But I never want to choose, since half a dozen machines are better than one | ||
