Jo, That's a nice washer and the matching dryer should be as well. However, I think this washer is older than 1994. It should be maybe 1985-1988 or 1989-ish. Unless the seller is aware of problems, and they reportedly work fine, don't shy away from them. I think parts should be available if something comes up. Others can speak with more wisdom than I can about that. If they work and you like them and can afford them - I say give them a spin.
Enjoy!

a good idea for a non-expert to take these. Grab them first, ask questions later. There are Filter-Flo people here that can help you with any issues. The GE dryers from that era are easy to service and real workhorses. | ||

GET THEM NOW
Tons of repair parts out there. Go to Sears Parts Direct .com and type in the model#, you'll very likely come up with maybe 5 diagrams tearing apart the machine and giving parts numbers. Then you go one Ebay or google the PN.
GE Filter Flo washer/driers do EVERTHING. Your model looks relatively upscale with 2 speeds, extra rinse knob, etc. Extra-Large capacity means their largest tub. If you don't have the detergent dispenser/lint filter/Fabric softener dispenser that fits on the agitator, you'll find that easily here or Ebay. These machines are EXTREMELY versatile, from huge loads of clothes to excellent wash and rinse, excellent slow speeds, etc. CONGRATULATIONS and keep us informed | ||

Try to use low speed as little as possible. The experts on AW have told me it's hard on the 2 speed clutch. Good luck. | ||

Unless they need to be hauled out of a basement with narrow Oh boy. They need to be moved up from a basement with narrow stairs and down into another basement with narrow stairs. I'm having professional movers do it. | ||

Freshening tip I'd go old school with 1/2 cup Clorox and 1/2 cup baking soda in HOT water with normal speed, keep the lid on, long cycle and ventilate the room. Rinse with warm water and a 1/2 cup of lemon juice or vinegar.
If it still reeks, do it again with Ammonia instead of Clorox.
If that still doesn't work, you may have to lift the washer top and inspect for mold and dead rodents/snakes.
When you're finished, leave the lid open and make it a practice to leave the lid open after each use. | ||
