Tracing wires to figure out which ones go to each of the valves, I find the following.

My brain must still be on vacation... I don't think Guy/bellalaundry ever posted the nameplate of this machine. I was going by that the heater would not be used. When I said the above statements, I was thinking inductive and small loads, like laptop power supplies, etc. You are VERY right...

Very interesting machine. Got any under shots?

gabriele: From a practical perspective the Chinese ones do still serve their purpose as they are made to be used on light loads, or every once in a while. They a made cheap, and are cheap to buy. If you need one for a one use, emergency deal, it's the way to go. The output is not as clean. If...

I don't see these very often. Not a bad price. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/app/2712995106.html

Older GEs Do these models have console lights? Is that a Versatronic dryer?

Oh I see... timer respond to the buttons on the left, start button over there on the right. Does it display any visible signs of life? lights,cycle status etc? What year range were these made?

Guy/bellalaundry: What's your next move? Maybe us members here can maybe simplify things for you?

Confused here... How do you start this machine? Does it have a mechanical timer? Does it use solid state electronics? Maybe I missed something in the pictures.

I use some adapters to convert the fittings and hose sizes. The black hoses and y-connector come from a young FL machine that got crushed, due to different parts of it not being engineered properly. Still need to pressure test and check for leaks with this solution. Now...back to tracing...

I use C/H valves from Kenmore/Whirlpool DD machine and a water valve from either a refrigerator or dishwasher. They are spare parts that I took from machines.

From a repair guide that I found on another section of this site, there is a C/H water valves and a condensing valve. Being that GE combos are dead walking dinosaurs, due to no spare parts availability, here is my solution:

inverters whimpy? really? depends on what you are trying to power with it, the quality of the inverter, where it is made, what you paid for it. Maybe bellalaundry is in over his head with the conversion. If that is the case, maybe you should stop this project while you are ahead? It would...

yeah the above link only steps up the voltage. There is nothing in that device that changes the frequency. If you want to operate the inverter you can use a car battery charger. It can't be the small dinky ones, as the bigger inverters like you are looking at purchasing need a good amount of...

Oh wow! This is the machine I've been looking for!!!! bellalaundry: There are a few options you can do here: 1.refit the machine 2.either buy or build a frequency converter 3.buy a 12VDC to 220VAC 50Hz inverter Just make sure the inverter you get is big enough...

hot/cold water valve, and condensing valve are missing. Judging by the mark on the cabinet, something very bad happened in this area.

More dirty wires!

Black wire from the terminal block is disconnected. This machine is nice and filthy!

Something is missing!

Everything else in the console looks good.
