This is the other washer I saved from destruction at the recycler a while back. Although it works (the motor and pump), someone swiped the belt! I have no model number to go by, as that tag was removed by Lowe's. My neighbor has (what looks like) the exact model as mine, and I used that model...

Looks like you got the year right on gansky! I finally took the back panel off and checked the date on the timer, (9-66) and the pressure switch (8-66) I would love to see some sales lit for this model if you can post it.

Thanks DADoES! I hooked it up and it ran just fine, I really like that waterfall recurculation and filter setup! Rick, you were right about using an old toothbrush to clean the filter, it took no time at all! (And I didn't have to touch that sick lint and goo mixture on the bristles)!! Seems...

Yes, it is a SudsMiser model. I still am having trouble with the DOM on this beast, can anyone help? From what I have been told, '62 is too far back and '67 too far ahead. Does anyone have any pics of a '65?

Could it be a 1967 model? I used the partial model number list from a previous thread and came up with that year. As far as the 1961 date on the the trans, it must have been replaced at some time with an older unit then.

The other GE I got with it has bad tub bearings, but works as well. I really can't figure out why the Adora ended up there. There was another Adora there as well, but the side was caved in when the front end loader moved the scrap. No one even tries to check out the stuff that comes in there...

Tub shot.

Just picked up this one today, not too shabby for the age either. It's a model LPA5505W0, maybe 1962 or so? The year on the trans housing was 1961, so I was thinking it most likely was a '62 model. It's a suds saver model.

Oops! Sorry, here is a pic of it.

Well, I finally got the GE hooked up to water and tested it this morning! It worked flawlessly through all cycles, I ran it four times as well throughout the day and there were no leaks or problems. I just can't figure why Lowe's dumped it at the recycler. The other GE front loader I picked up...

Yes, 70 series. It's the 1982 Sears I picked up a couple of weeks ago. The Whirlpool set are large capacity models.

There's no shortage of older Whirlpool products around here! I just thought they needed to be saved due to the color, and the fact that the dryer was a three speed. Now if I could just find some GM Frigidaire stuff..

Here is my latest save from the crusher, A Whirlpool Imperial set in Harvest Gold! The washer needs a control knob and has a small leak, model LAA8800Y3. The dryer is a three speed unit, model LAE8800Y0. I am thinking these are from 1974, can anyone help with the DOM?

Glad to see the Norge made it just fine!

BTW, I checked an old Sears catalog I have from 1976 and the only colors available on those washers were White, Avocado, and Harvest Gold (they had another name I can't remember for it)But no Coffee or Coppertone, I know they had that color in the 60's and early 70's so what happened? Did they...

Peter, that GE to the far right is a refugee from the scrap yard! It was dumped by Lowe's from what I have been told. The Serial and Model number tag has been taken off. As far as working, all it does is fill, agitate (or tumble) the clothes then drain. For some reason, it will not spin. I...

When we loaded it into my Jeep, I noticed the machine looked like new underneath, with no rust or cobwebs even! Wish I knew the story behind it, but all the guy knew was that the elderly people that sold him the house owned it previously. I think someone here on this forum got the dryer, he...

A shot with the lid up. I thought coppertone was discontinued by 1982?

Here is a last minute save from the scrap man. The guy had it on Craigslist with an older Lady Kenmore dryer a while back. I originally passed on the pair, as I didn't need the dryer, and the washer looked too "new" for my taste. Well.. I gave in when I saw it listed in the "Free" section and...

Yay! The Norge has found a wonderful new home with Ross!
