I believe the early A806 & A606 big tub machines had only 3 water levels for the first few years starting in 1966.

Nice job putting that fridge back to the way it belongs. My high school refrigeration teacher said that Frigidaire "meter miser" compressor was the best household refigerator compressor ever made.

The Filter-Flo washers certainly wash up a storm, but they drank water and ate transmissions. If they continued to build them today they'd be a laughing stock. The old GE didn't take care of their service techs, and their parts prices to consumers were about the highest in the industry. Who...

Shame? The shame should have happened back in the 1980s when GE's appliance division fell apart.   GE appliance quality couldn't have possibly been any worse than it was back when Haier bought them out 5 years ago.

Being a 1-door fridge, it wouldn't have been a high end model.

There is no such thing as zero emissions heating and cooking.

Full-size Fords and Chevys in the mid to late 1960s are subject to frame rot. That LTD looks worthy, but you need to climb under it with a ball-peen hammer and make sure the frame is solid. Replacing frame rails is no fun.

I thought that changing the speed when the washer was running is what damages the clutch.  Am I correct?

A sexist film featuring GE ranges for 1960. I don't believe this film has surfaced on the web before. From Fran Blanche's Youtube channel:

Jack Welch single-handedly destroyed GE's appliance division. What he did may have looked good on paper, but he basically turned GE into a banking company with no physical substance. They called him "neutron Jack" because, like a neutron bomb, he left buildings standing, but did away with the...

Electric resistance heat is prohibitively expensive if you live where it gets cold.

White matches everything, and is easy to keep clean.

If this model came on in 2006, as the newsreel above states, would this not be a Whirlpool design?

I believe I see a bake element sitting on top of the oven.

This forum still runs fine on my old XP machine here at work.  

In the south years ago, a white person did not call a black person Mr. or Mrs. They used Aunt or Uncle instead. This is a point that many people are unaware of today, and why these product names are considered offensive.

I wish I took a picture of it 16 years ago, but I threaded clothes line up and down  through the middle of the agitator, with the lint filter removed, and attached the web to the slide hammer.  I don't think your expanding plug it going to do it.
