Finally found ge filter flo set!

[chestermikeuk]

GE Spiral Ramp

Glad you managed to find the set you so wanted, they look in fine condition!! looking forward to the vids...love the warm rinse option, never had that here on the Hotpoint machines...

Happy washing, Mike

Is the dryer Large capacity also?.......hard to tell, but it should be considering the age and year.....the larger ones have a concave in the rear of the drum....also the back of the machine has a 2 inch extension......

these are super great machines....I have 4 washers and 3 dryers...enjoy.....

yours is similar to mine....machines with these cycles, temps, speeds, and levels.....freakin endless.....you could not ask for more.....

you will use that MINI level with or without that MiniBasket, and the MiniQuick cycle, more than you will ever know.....

only thing I would recommend....flip the fill flume over on itself.....directs all water to the load, really great for the spin rinse.......drama of the waterfall ain't bad either.....also while the top is up, use a cable tie around the lid switch for operation while the lid is open...

Love the shot, Martin

right back at ya

How do you fix the flume? Last night while washing my kicks on Mini Level with MiniQuick button on, I watched everything, and the spray is a rip-off, most of it going into the outer tub. Do yo just twist the whole thing? Please take your time with me. I'm slow and thumbsy.

I thought the rinse cycle was for clothes only, not the floo

Michael, talk about washer drama in a picture! I hope the floor mopping was worth it. Actually, whom am I kidding? Of COURSE it was!!! LOL!

Doug, that set looks so clean and minty! Congrats on a wonderful score! Now all we have to do is find the large opening mini basket to go with that big filter pan...

Large mini basket

Yes i would like to find a large mini basket. I have the regular size smaller lint basket and mini basket, but would like to find the large mini basket to go with the original big filter flo pan!

OK Mickey....here we go....this first one I just used scissors and cut it straight across......which will flow water into the tub like my Mothers 63 did....nice wide fan spray.....but this is permanent

 

[akronman]

Yogi's trick.....

works wonderfully. Just spread the rubber back on itself, it will stay in place. tons of spray, close the lid, excellent rinses.

 

[yogitunes]

Next version.....this is where your thumbs come in handy......all I did was flipped it over on itself, this is reversable, done in seconds, just don't turn machine on until you have snapped the top back down, again, a really nice wide fan spray down across the clothes, you may even notice better rinsing, and more suds coming out of the hose....

 

[yogitunes]

and of course while the top is open.....a simple cable tie, wrapped around the lid switch will allow it to run with the lid open, again, reversable!......let me know how you made out....

 

[mickeyd]

Intense close-ups--How wonderful!

How the sunb back looks just like a nose, too funny, but I'll probably do the circumcision.

 

Thanks, Guys, now I can have a proper spray rinse, so spoiled as I am by the Easy Rinse cone. I can't wait to do it.

 

Andy, it happened in the garage, concrete floor on a slope to the drain, no problem, When more senile, I'll try it in the kitchen on a day when the floor is dirty.

A proper thank you to Martin--sorry for the carelessness, le

not that you'd ever say anything, but I really appreciated the pictures and the explanation and the options. Thank you Martin Yogitunes for your kindness and your time. You do this for so many people. You remind me of Terry, different style, same heart.

You wouldn't want to sell me that fabric softener dispenser, would you?
I've been looking for one for my Filter Flo for a while now.

 

[yogitunes]

Wow Mickey.......what a true honor to be considered.....if we all carry a little Terry in all of us, it would be a better world......gone, but never forgotten....

I am curious as to how you made out, and what you think of the results....

for a softener dispenser, you can get one on ebay, check the link.......send him your model number and he will tell you if this one is for yours, this is a great guy to work with, if this is not the right one, he may have the one, just not listed, ....... I have gotten parts off him, that he did not have listed, and still inexpensive......

[barcoboy]

Thanks Yogitunes for the link-I've contacted Pandorasoem to see if I can get a dispenser for my machine. I believe the part number I am looking for is WH47M33 which from what I can see looks exactly like the one in the photo above, but I guess if the one on Ebay will fit my filter, it's better than nothing.

Thanks too for the tip about flipping the fill flume inside out. Tried that tonight on my machine, and it works great. Definitely a better spray pattern, especially during the spin spray rinse.

 

[yogitunes]

I don't know why they have so many part numbers for the same part.......and theres nothing different about them....all the same style and color.....but as long as it fits, and it should, your good to go........GE FF only had 2 sizes of filters, either the wide, or the thin, and the late 70's thru the 90's all had the same type of center post.......

but that new spray pattern is amazing, isn't it?.....especially since it now sprays the clothes, and not behind the tub....more effective!

let me know if you find one on ebay, I can still check around....they still turn up here and there.....

 

[mickeyd]

So happy, Martin

Just did it. At first the rubber was too stiff to turn back, so pouring a pyrex 2 cup of boiling water slowly over, softened it up, and she bent back real nice.

 

But the shocker: as I watched the waterfall spray I realized that by lifting the rim veil, the stream would reach the mini-basket. So I stopped the spray rinse and popped in the basket, YIKES, a perfect reach, and it works with or without the filter pan. Thanks again,

 

There was one Turquoisedude moment when I realized that the filter-flo nozzle did not go all the way in, causing a filter-drizzle

so I had to pop the top again and fix.

 

All these years of disappointment that a 10 minute fix resolved.

Many thanks, Mister!

 

[yogitunes]

Heres another location for a dispenser....a little more price.....but it is "in-stock"......at least you have a few options

funny how the filter pan is cheaper.....

[mickeyd]

Is there any noticeable difference

in the spray patterns if you cut it off instead if folding it back. I think you got both in operation at your house. I was going to cut at first, but got too focused and the razor tool was far away.

 

[yogitunes]

See Mickey....even I learned something from this, many were talking about no spray rinse into the mini-basket, and you discovered the cure......

scary when we put all our minds together.....lol

 

[mickeyd]

And if you're uncomfortable holding the veil, you could always cut out a nice inch or so, but there'd be a lot of flying water as if anybody here minds. I'm going down for more fun and experimentation. Go try the spray with the mini-basket. It's so new and so cool--honest.
