Interesting dryer This console was introduced in 1964 (and lasted forever), and in 1965 GE started calling these V14 models (and then V16), but this one has no mention of its capacity and the toggles aren't correctly positioned for a 2-switch model. Also, it appears that by 1968 GE had stopped positioning the handle in the horizontal position. None of my catalogs show any with the blue panel on the right; I'm wondering if this could be a Canadian version?
I like it.

This is probably a 1964 DA-520Y. Check out the "1964 General Electric Washer and Dryer Brochures" in the Automatic Ephemera section. Unless that publication was for Canada, this would be a US model. | ||

Tom, I checked the 1964 Sweets insert and I don't think the DA520 is a match. The photo does not show a contrasting area on the right side of the console, and like I said, the two toggles are not centered top-to-bottom on the console - which would be the typical placement for 2 switches. On this one the lower switch appears to be centered, as it would be if there were 3 switches. Minor quirks, but enough for me to believe the one you identified is not the right model.

It's designed like the 64 models but...
it could be a 65 leftover; GE did these all the time. It has the distinctive panel of the '64 line where a brushed chrome or steel bezel was super-imposed on the majority of a grey steel panel starting from the left (the kicker is that the official BOL that year looked more like future control panels from the late Sixties):
