This GE combo was listed on Craigslist a little over a year ago. It was located in Albuquerque. I contacted a friend of mine who lives in Albuquerque. He went and picked it up and stored it for me. I finally got it to my house, just last week I. I believe it to be from about 1972. It was originally white, but someone painted it. The drain hose appears to have a leak in it. I haven’t hooked up water to it yet.

Last GE Combo We worked on a few hundred of these machines back in the late 70s through the 80s, I still have lots of parts for them and saw first hand about anything that can go wrong with one, that said these GE Combs were probably the most reliable of all the Combos ever built, many ran for a decade or more without needing any service.
Cool that it is painted turquoise, however this model only came in White, Harvest Gold, Avocado and Copper-tone, GE stopped production of Combos in the spring of 1973, GE was the last company to stop building Combos in the US.

It looks like you got one of the models with the clear window, which is better for clear reception on the laundry channel than the pebbly glass. I do not know why they switched from the clear glass, but I did not like the change. | ||

Well, yes for items that cannot be dried in the dryer although it used to be more correctly labeled "drip dry" on earlier models. | ||
