Yes, a 1962 W model; 3 on the model number means no pedestal
This is/was our first dryer (720, with pedestals to match the washing machine). It was a dependable workhorse; no repairs and still working when they sold the house 16 years later. They never used the Automatic cycle; I don't know why but when I tried it myself it seemed to take forever to dry a load. The pedal was a pain; most of us took to grabbing the left edge of the door to open it with our fingers. This was also caused because the bone-heads put the dryer with a right-hand opening door on the wrong side of the washer. The more TOL GE dryers of that vintage featured something called "Compensated Control" which might have made the automatic cycles more accurate.

This was the dryer a family owned down the street. The son & I used to ride bikes together. Didn't meet him until about 1963 or 1964. The washer next to it was the Fflo design with the brake, the filter stream port was at the back (12 o'clock) position, had turquoise timer face and a coordinated vertical switch for hot/warm wash and a water saver switch. So this was the initial design/product after the brake was implemented. I remember hearing the brake at the end of a spin outside the laundry room door when we were playing on the driveway. His mom used Final Touch and could smell it coming from the dryer exhaust.

Ken, We had the same backwards relationship between the washer and the dryer when we lived on the AFB. All of the NCO housing consisted of duplexes. One half of the units were the mirror image of the other half. Unfortunately, ours had the washer on the right and the dryer on the left. I was envious of our next door neighbor who's w/d were in the proper relationship. On the bright side, all refrigerators were right-hand models and were correct for our unit; but was backward in our neighbor's unit.
Here's a pic of the 750 that I had. She cleaned up beautifully, but was DOA.

Ken, very similar. I remember the left hand part of the panel being quite stark white because the two vertical toggles were turquoise and stood out. These were replaced with TOL programmed FFlo pair in mid to late 1970s.
Their kitchen was also all GE. Appliances were white, double ovens, I think a 36" cooktop, bottom mount with ice maker I believe you flipped the ice over into the storage bin, and a bowtie dishwasher with teh steam grill being black rather than off white as others I've seen. Don't remember ever seeing another one like that. They moved in sometime late spring to August 1961 because their sunken living room flooded during Hurricane Carla and they ended up putting in a sump pump. They also had an outside water fountain so no one would trapse through the house to get a drink. | ||
