Looking through the assembly, you can see the "half-moon" shaped area that closes off the water flow when the solenoid is activated.

While I was waiting for the hoses to dry. I happened upon these brand new shiny tub bolts. Although I only needed 6 (one set for both of my Filter'Flo's), they come in a pack of 12 complete with washers. So let me know if you need a set and we can work something out.

I also broke down and ordered this new upper trim piece for the SpotScrubber console.

...and a few days later a box arrived at my doorstep bearing these coveted hieroglyphs.

The washer had been delivered with the creased control panel trim cap. The gentleman who delivered it thought he was doing me a favor by strapping the washer down by running a cable over the top of it down to the pallet it was riding on. All it did was put this crease in it. It was pretty hard to find a new one to replace it, and when I did it was pretty expensive to boot.

Old and new, side by side. Probably not something the average washer user would care about, but we're not the average washer users here on AW.O.

Like nails dragging on a chalk board, this bothered me to no end. Chinese water torture would have been preferable to staring at this every time I did a load!
I did save the old piece just in case I found another washer that might have had a piece in worse or missing condition. Luckily the front of it was still in decent condition.

Pristine GE FF
Is it just me or are some of the pics showing up sideways or upside down? Is there anyone who can fix this?
I personally would not modify this washer, it is in pristine condition and you are super lucky to have found it this way. I would enjoy the washer as is, unaltered.
This specific model triggers strong feelings of anemoia for myself. I once lived in a condo that had it been built 1 year earlier it would have had this exact same model. But instead I had to endure the cruel joke which took their place, only to feel betrayed when I discovered the stark difference in older units enjoyed by individuals who seemed unaware of just how good they really had it.
I wish FF washers had continued to be make these into the mid-2000s. It would have been well deserved for everyone involved.

GE needs to bring back the filter-flos.

You know, the more I look at this minty FF the more I am starting to feel the same way lol. These weren't bad washers.
A K-Mart bought one with the lid opening to the left which my grandma had for a many years was pretty much the only Filter-Flo in my immediate family--separate speeds, as in Normal/Gentle for both agitation and spin, three water levels and it was a standard capacity machine, and boasted Hot/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold temperature settings...

I remember these washers. I had one which could clean anything. It was the one with the ramped activator and minibasket. I will forever miss that machine.

No, just remembered my one long-overdue visit to an uncle's house back in 1996, boasted a filter-fly washer there, from the '80's I'd guess, with an Amana electric dryer from that era I'd visited, replacing its burnt out companion...
Not sure if it would have had the mini-basket but it was fairly near-top of the line, so most-likely, but if not noticeably present, then never to seldom used...

It's not unusual for mini-basket tubs, filter-flo pans, and the fabric softener dispensers to become separated or lost from GE washers over time, especially if the party didn't use them.
Back in the day, I was only concerned about the filter pans and had to buy a few pans because the old ones were either missing or clogged (and I didn't realize back then they could be cleaned).
I never bought fabric softener dispensers or mini-tubs and if I found a washer with those it was a pleasant surprise.
