GE 2 Speed..........with MiniWash........

[filterflo]

Thru the front panel............

 

[filterflo]

and finally to the pump housing, to add air to the system........and it WORKS! With the dishwasher running, you can actually hear and FEEL less water being thrown about during the cycle.

Close up of the air injector hose........

Because this was GE's top of the line, it had the "AUTOMATIC RINSE GLO" rinse aid dispenser.........

 

[filterflo]

The rinse aid dispenser consists of a reservoir to hold "JETDRY", and an electric solenoid that opens for just a short while on the last rinse.......

 

[filterflo]

GE also featured, in this model, a vent for when the dishes were in the dry cycle. The "vent" is normally closed during the wash cycle.....and only opens when the heating element is energized........This is the vent in "closed" position.....

Impressive!

Another innovative product from GE ..Thanks for posting Jimmy!

Vent in "open" position. The vent and detergent cups are operated on a "cam" in conjuntion with the mechanical timer.....as the timer advances the cam moves levers and arms to open the 2 detergent cups and then open the vent and also close it at the end of the cycle.........

Timer cams........

I don't know about the other features, but I do know that GE used those stabilizers for quite a few years on all their various models. They were a rather ingenius thought IMO.

STOP TIM! Im not done yet! ha. Now lets look at the cycles this model has..........Its guided by a system of "DOTS", so that we could nickname this model "DOTTIE"!!
There are open dots, closed dots, and a "asterisk"......

 

[filterflo]

After a cycle is decided upon and that button is pressed, then the timer is supposed to be turned to the "DOT" that is matches........

 

[filterflo]

Now, we are ready for its first load, in many many years........I found this at the local thrift store and it was just covered with dust. I dont think it ever had much use, and had not been used in a looonnnngg time.........

 

[filterflo]

Detergent cups loaded........Im using the "Gel" style, which Im not particually fond of.....but they seem to work fairly well.....

 

[filterflo]

Hooked up with the famous GE "FAUCET FLO" connector........

 

[filterflo]

I wish I could meet the person that thinks up these FABULOUS NAMES!!!

 

[filterflo]

I have the 1968 Consumer Reports issue with the actual test of this model.........So I dug it out and started reading up on it........

 

[filterflo]

They seemed to like the upper rack arrangement......

 

[filterflo]

But alas, they did not like the way it washed! It was rated next to the LAST, just above the Frigidaire dishwasher.......go figure.......
