I picked up this nice GE Profile Spotscrubber washer from the estate of a bachelor in Houston last Sunday. It still had the plastic on the control panel which luckily came off easily to reveal an untouched panel. This washer was built in October 1992. Unfortunately the mini basket and fabric softener dispenser were no longer with the machine although I asked about it I’m pretty sure they were thrown out when the house was cleaned for lack of knowledge of knowing what it was. The washer is clean and works great.

Model: WWA9890RBLWH

That's a nice looking machine. It's a shame they used a plastic that yellows for the knobs and trim. The melamine plastic knobs on my 1953 Westinghouse range are still as white as snow.

I agree about the yellowing. I’m usually not a fan of white on white but this washer was in too good condition to pass on. And being a top of the line spotscrubber I felt I had to save it. Lol

Nice washer. The yellowing can be remedied with hydrogen peroxide and the sun or UV lamp.

Nice, full-featured, as good as old-school GE FF as it gets...

Last GE spot scrubber washer

Hi Melvin, we have this success, same machine, and the plastic knobs on our yellowed a lot too.

We save this one for the museum. I have the control panel from the spot scrubber from one year earlier, which had the more traditional better looking GE control panel with chrome knobs. I’m gonna change it out on our for the museum machine.

I may have an extra spot scrubber basket for this machine. I can look if you’re interested in getting one the scrubber minibasket was the same except it did not have the holes in the bottom of it so it would keep the concentrated low water level detergent, water in the mini basket. I’m sure you could just put the regular mini basket in and seal the holes in the bottom of it.

John

Thanks everyone. John I have a mini basket that will work in it. Thanks as always for your generous offer. I just think it’s really neat to find a machine with all of its original paperwork and accessories although that doesn’t happen that often. I thought it might take the smaller basket due to these late filter flos using the short agitator with an extension but the larger basket stops on the collar of the extension and fits like it should.

Beautiful find! This machine has my favorite cycle offering.

 

Have to ask, is the tech sheet still minty? ;)

I’m sure it is. I haven’t opened the control panel but I’ve tucked the machine into safe storage. It sat in the kitchen of the previous owner since new.

Keep it in safe, climate controlled storage. You have a masterpiece of a machine. I wish my Speed Queen had a cycle selection like this GE model.
