So this followed me home yesterday. Haven’t done a test load in it yet. Dryer is missing lint screen. I used to have one of these many years ago. Fun machine! (Sorry about the photo quality — it’s time for me to get a new cell phone!)

GM Skinny-Mini Hi Todd
Fun machines, when these came out these broke all records for the most cheaply built laundry appliance ever built, We have one in our museum, its a must have machine if you collect laundry appliances.
This and the Vega both came out of GM about the same time.
I have lots of lint filters for theseTodd if you need one drop me a note and I will send you one.

If I came across one of those in Poppy Red I would find a place for it even if it was the middle of the kitchen. Love those Harvest Gold Warges in the back of the 1st picture. | ||

Re: Reply #1 John, Were there any frequent repair issues that resulted from the Skinny-Mini being cheaply built? Thanks! | ||

GM built skinny mini
Hi Darrell.
It would be hard to come up with a list of things that didn’t break on those. Years ago I knew a small Frigidaire store north of us here and he said when those came out he sold 48 of them the first year and ran 52 service calls Which is a very high breakdown rate for a new product. When I was still in high school I was working part time with a contractor and we remodeled the customers kitchen in Greenbelt Maryland and I know she had to have service come out to get the thing to spin before we were even done with the kitchen project lol John L | ||

I wonder what the insides look like. Never seen the wash mechanism for example. | ||
