VERY nice, Baja. question for the GE experts, WHICH of these "activators" was best at turning over the heaviest loads? | ||

Hi Ken, Nice agitator renderings! All you need now is the large capacity ramp Activator with the "ribbed" sides!

Nice renderings, Baja... Note that the 1957 P series were the same as the '58's you have depicted including the pink cap. I know you're into GE's, but it would be great to have some renderings for other brands as well.... say maybe early Norge. | ||

Baja, FYI, mom had a filter flo that was either a 1977 or 1978 and it had the white ramped activator so they must have been phased in before 1981. Hope this helps! | ||

I agree with you about the staight vaned activators. They were very pretty and they did a good job of holding up the mini-basket, but all they did with a Bob-load was move the clothes back and forth. I remember the ramped activator on our old GE V-12 could get an oversized load rolling over in no time. The straight-vaned activator in the solid tub models did a decent job as well, but I think that was because, as with GM Frigidaires, the proportions of the washbasket to the size of the activators made for good rollover. | ||

I'm guessing that the straight vaned activator/agitator made for a larger tub measurement since it hogged-up less space. The "mine is bigger than yours" game went on for decades. Here in this area. washers in the 70's were basically WP/KM due to size and features and dryers were GE due to porcelain tub and price. That combination I'd say was the "most-seen" I guess that people didn't (want to ) realize that if one rams too much in a dryer, the clothing wrinkles excessively. | ||

and socks kept going over the top of the tub and jamming the pump even when used on small load. HMMMMM I am wondering if the drain-hose was ostructed/constricted or if the pump had some broken impeller teeth. Sounds to me like maybe the machine got up to too-high a spin speed before enough water was evacuated. | ||

Or maybe the plastic clothes guard was missing. | ||
