a great dryer
I have had a hotpoint/GE model of this vintage since the 80's. They are great dryers. I have a few parts dryers of this era and expect to keep my dryer going until i no longer need a dryer. They are extremely easy to work on, there is a GE service manual that one can purchase and Grainger has a replacement motor that one can buy if necessary, or at least had one a few years ago. It seems like with the exception of the timer panel and controls, the guts (motors, pulleys, belts, etc. are basically the same for all models. There is a large and extra large capacity which does have a few different parts. If you keep your eyes open, these models are frequently put on the side of the road by folks that are replacing them with new models that will not last nearly as long.
