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.

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. |

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.
