Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

lavamat_jon, I totally agree with you about the effectivity of multiple rinses vs. one massive deep rinse. But you keep forgetting one important thing: WE'RE AMERICANS. We don't let science get in the way of our personal beliefs, LOL!

:)
 
Actually speaking of fact versus personal beliefs.... I hear rumors that the Metric system is catching on a little bit.

Don't tell our gov't that..They may have to do something USEFUL and convert us over!

I mean the English have made the English system of measurement and temperatures secondary to the Metric system. Does that tell us anything?
 
Unless the "magnetic" lid switch uses some type of tamper-resistant technology, couldn't you get an ordinary magnet (say a magnetic parts retrieval tool) and place it over the switch to cheat the interlock?
 
Cant Complain

Hi Steve

Looks a fine set to leave, shouldnt be any issues with those..

Love those flayed spray flumes, those modern machines are great to use for people like us not used to them, I used Scotts TOL Kenmores in his last house and was impressed with them..

Cheers, Mike

p.s. you cant blame the english for changing to metric, its been forced on us by The European Commission for Standardisation....we call it bastardisation, and some of our market sellers have actually been imprisoned for not following the directive. How draconian is that!!!
 
Re: GE Models:

Hey! Toggles, what Model Numbers are the GE Washer and Gas Dryer, your leaving with the house?

Is the Washer fairly Quiet, does it Wash/Rinse well, considering no Spray Rinses? Why no Fabric Softener Dispenser on the top of the Agitator, could someone buy one optional? I personally like using the Downey Ball in Top-Loaders, after Resetting for extra Rinses, when original Cycles are complete. That is one way to make sure that the original Fabric Softener Dispenser on the Washer stays nice looking and clean...

Peace and Happy GE Laundrying, Steve

How the heck does that GE washer wring out the clothes well enough with such sparse and vastly spaced holes?
 
Can't have too many holes in plastic!

If there is not a hole where it needs to be, the water will travel UP till it finds one hence the staggered pattern of the holes.

Remember there were machines with non-perforated tubs. IMHO not a factor as to spin-dry effectiveness.
 
Hose Extension

Went to Homo Depot and got me a hose extension!
and some magic magnet to bypass the lid switch

The washer drain hose does need to go into the stand-pipe thereby bypassing the slop-sink and the required pump for that sink.

Of course, it is easier than it sounds

It leasks, natch!
Surgery of that magnitude usually has some complications.

Methinks i need to clamp each piece of rubber/plastic to a piece of metal pipe rather than to each-other.

Tested it with a *SMALL* Water level, as seen in pic.
Leaks like a sieve - *SIGH*

*LARGE* setting (actually a medium fill) goes to third row of holes from top.

*SUPER* setting goes to top row of holes.

Magnets to bypass lid switch.

Believe it or not this was taken while spinning!

Smart little manufacturers, you need TWO magnets to do the trick (or i'm an idiot!)

well let's see if I can clear a day (to have a wash-in) with her highness Madame X.

If so come on down~~~~~ NY, NJ, CT, PA, MA, etc!
*We'll have the classic GE Filter-flo
*The new GE plastique mess,
*The Frid-Ge-More, it it has not flown the coupe to go to Yiayia Bubble's (grandma's) house.
* The EASY table-top washer is also still here....
 
Let's see...first it was Madame Kurva...then Queen Cloaca, now Madame X.

I have a new name suggestion--since one of your favorite sayings is "Who luvs ya baby?", instead of Kojak, you could be Bojack!

LOL...be sure to include pics so us Southerners can participate vicariously! ;-)
 
looks over shoulder; begs for shower

Easy Spin has a present for you

An aqua, Jet-Swirl GE fabric softener dispenser
Nice and clean, but from an old model that fits over a wide agi cap

When settled and ready for accessories, I'll send it to you.

Someone else wanted a mini-basket--have it
Again, old, for a three-vane wide-capped agi, plus matching filter-flo
Let me know
 
Re: Magnet to Bi-Pass Switch:

What if you use only 1-Magnet and place it in the opposite direction, centered on the Magnetic Rubber Cover, would that allow you to only need 1-Magnet to have the Washer operate with the Lid Opened?

Fun Times with a GE Wash-A-Matic {LOL}, Steve
