This machine is a MOL machine. Some were offered as suds-saver. The "10 program" version is TOL. Here is the side opening lid money shot with rimflo.

Check out this pump! I've never seen a pump that was bolted together on a GE.

CONGRATS!
Hey Kevin, congratulations on finding this machine, it looks to be in pretty decent shape. Neat control panel design too. I like that it has the ramp vs. the straight-vane agitator, much more fun and better movement too. Thanks for the info in the Beaumark brand name, I'd never heard of it.
The one thing I don't like about the "rim-flo" design is the spray rinse during spin is ineffective (read: useless) and a total waste of water. It's flows into the rim filter, then out to the outer tub and down the drain while spinning.

Well, there's a little modification you can make with the fresh water spray that will send the spray rinse water into the basket. Kind of a Brit Milah. SOP procedure when acquiring a RimFlo along with tossing the lid switch. | ||

Thanks guys! Beaumark marketed the ramp activator as a Spiral Agitator. Here's a photo of the timer too.

Here is the other half of the panel. Is it normal for GE machines to just spray cold water during the cool down? It probably doesn't do much as what Kevin said is true about the fill flume.

 Nice find, Kevin! I always thought the Beaumark washers and dryers had the most colourful control panels - I had neighbours who had this very same set when I lived in my first home in the wilds of Ile Perrot. Funny how the Beaumarks all seem to have some rust around the lid switch - the old Vikings I have owned didn't... I wonder if the rim-flo might have something to do with that.
Nice machine! Hope you have fun with it! | ||

Thanks folks! I will keep my eyes open for more Beaumark machines like this. I will polish it up once the BD machine is working again, and I will get a video. | ||

Bolted pump The pump on my 83 GE is bolted together like that. I took it apart to remove a sock that was in it. The person I got it from advertised it as it wouldn't spin. The sock in the pump was the only thing wrong. | ||

"GE washer" That's because it's based on the Hotpoint version of the GE washer. | ||
