True filter flo. I still wish they made these today. Or at least some improved version that still recirculates the water into a large removable pan. I really like the pushbuttons and sharp silver knobs. It would be nice if some models had those vertical pushbuttons, others exclusively knobs...

Just the tech sheet or a copy of it 😉 If you want the whole washer you can have it first. I'd end up transplanting the control panel / electrical over to a direct drive, dependable care or Speed Queen. I love the cycles, sequences and timer but not the drive components. Hence I feel this...

I wish they did this with today with a GE filter flo, dependable care, direct drive washer. I love the concept and I feel it is relevant today as ever.

That is a good idea. Kenmore had this feature where the washer would fill, agitate for two minutes then stop until manually advanced. LCR model portable Whirlpools and Kenmores had a 30 minute soak followed by a drain and spin. Personally I like having a long soak that advances directly into...

I've never seen an agitator like the one on the left. How does it compare? I personally like the ramp agitators.

What is the temp and speed for the various cycles? Does anyone have a cycle chart or tech sheet?

If curious, here is how the control panel would look. Soak takes up a larger part of the cycle time, so the wash, rinse and final spin are moved closer together on the left side of the dial. The timer is 82 minutes for a full revolution.

Pierre, what do you think? From the start of the first agitate to the start of wash agitate I got 40 minutes of soak intermittent agitation in.

Fixed a few errors in the wiring diagram, my apologies for the initial mistakes. Here is the cycle selection switching matrix: Orange and Purple wires from the timer are energized during the wash fill, white and blue are energized during the rinse fill. Pierre, how many knobs are ideal...

This thread is painful with longing! How I wish they still made these dishwashers today in various models. I'd never buy or use anything else, these were perfected. Everything that came after is a bit of a joke.

I'd ask a repair tech. Either that the cap or agi isn't molded perfectly and it was forced in.

Complicated, but I guess so then. I like the vintage GE version with the cold spray rinse in the first spin.

So if anyone is interested here are the fill times to full with my water pressure and plumbing: Hot= 4:31 Warm = 2:58 Cold = 4:23

Pierre, you've gotten me thinking again. What temperature to give the permanent press cycle. Perhaps I should go back to labeling it white perms and color perms. Or just have permanent press default to warm/cold and name hot/cold to sheets or something. Hot/cold is a rather elusive temperature...

The view that you see is with the front cabinet removed as starting at 1:05 below: The actually rear of the machine where hoses are attached does not have any exposed wires or components.
