Interesting.....the 90s washers claim to have a self-cleaning filter.
Any idea how that worked or what the components were to have a self cleaning lint filter in their washers? Was it like Maytag's little mesh screens in the bottom of the drum? I had several of those washers in apartments, and never really saw an indication of a filter.... |

Around 1995 GE completely redesigned their machines. The idea was to reduce cost and create more space. Saving water came too. The redesign eliminated recirculating pump, so the mini basket and filter had to go.
As for the rim-flo, I have no idea when but the Hotpoint side of things just skipped it all together for some reason. I guess the idea was to have a self cleaning lint filter? |

It seems, from what I've seen, to be a "feature" found only on mechanical dial machines. I guess it was a way manufacturers could add one more bullet point to the feature list for BOL machines even though it was just the point on the dial for the heated dry cycle. It's rarely, if ever, found on electronic control machines, at least not that I've ever seen. Our GE Nautilus had the "Plate Warmer" point on the dial, just that ~30 minute dry phase if you had the Heated Dry option on, but the one or two times I ever tried it as a plate warming method, it wasn't very effective. By the time the interior of the tub got maybe 100 degrees, it was already time for the dial to reach "Off". Perhaps if it was used on a machine with forced air drying it could prove effective, but I just don't see the need when placing the dinnerware in a still-warm oven for a minute or two after baking is done is just as effective and is using no extra energy.

I'm glad to hear others enjoyed this material. I was looking for the last brochures featuring the filter Flo/Rim Flo machines, and came across these instead! |

all very interesting reading, although I'm from the UK, I quite like the GE Profile microwaves with the SmartControl System with the Panasonic-style scrolling-text display, does anyone know when they launched? :) |

I say go for it! I should have the GE version on a month or two which is getting a special reno :D
IT was mentioned if Hotpoint still makes dishwasher and they do: products.geappliances.com/ApplPro... At least I think: www.jcpenney.com/hotpoint-built-i...¤cy=USD&selectedSKUId=87701880018&selectedLotId=8770188&fromBag=true&quantity=1&cm_mmc=ShoppingFeed-_-GooglePLA-_-Built%2Din%20Dishwashers-_-87701880018&utm_medium=cse&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=built%2din%20dishwashers&utm_content=87701880018&gclid=CLySjYSk2M8CFRWVfgodBiwJag&kwid=productads-adid^59337396698-device^c-plaid^97975460018-sku^87701880018-adType^PLA Not sure if its just those models which are discontinued or the entire line, but I say go for it. They are fun toys, and I think have the most powerful motor on the market. The cycle timing isnt to bad, and the pushbutton version has a real 45 minute heated dry. |
