I am thinking of picking this up, anything special about these?
What’s the 411, Yogitunes, are you out there?

What do you want to know?


I have that exact dryer....pretty much every feature you could get from GE at the time...this would date around 1985

this should also have a tub light.....


even though this is a 27" cabinet, there is an extension on the rear that accommodates the deeper drum of a true ExLarge capacity....also a true match to the ExLge Washer

I found this capacity model safer for fabrics, as the heat source is located in the bottom of the machine....as for the standard capacity model, especially for electric, had the element right at the back, causing the rear of the drum to get really hot for loads like blankets causing scorching....

most servicing can be done from the front, except for attaching the belt to the motor via a small panel on the rear...

you will want to pull the drum to clean all lint from the rear intake, a lot gets trapped in that area...and grease the drum bearing...

So glad I picked it up...by the look of it, UNUSED. Looks like it just came out of the box, a real stunner. Pics tomorrow.

No lens for that lamp.  Never was.
