Re: Nick-Name for Toggles:

How about calling Steve "Toggles" Mr. Bojangles...

I've always liked that Title Name, because of my liking the Song and we used to have a Bar here that was named Bojangles, but it finally closed down and has become a Restaurant/Bar, but I've not checked it out yet, so I'm not sure about the Clientelle {sp} that is going there.

Peace and Fun Nick-Name Suggesting, Steve

Thanks boys and girly boys.
I feel so luved *SNIFF*

Anyhoo by Madame X I meant "The Ex" LOL.

I will re-read this tomorow to respond to everyone.
I have had a HELL of an expensive day.

Car batery => dead.
Needed tires => no traction (they had 60k miles on them).

Was posting pics earlier and the computer monitor started getting funky. Then two LOUD POPS and crackling-- it was nearly 10 years of age. *SIGH* It was about to catch fire.

So here I sit in front of a very well-deserved, yet rather pricey 19" flat-panel monitor. Screw it. If you have to be broke, be broke BIG time.

All kiding aside-- it is tolerable due to all the love from you guys. No joke.

Ya know- I don't mind skidmarks on my drawers; soap, water bleach, and phospates and it's gone. Skidmarks on the credit card take MUCH longer to eradicate. --WINK--

Austin: since you a youngin' ~~that was from the days of the imprinter that would trace the cc number onto a receipt with carbon-paper copies. I refuse to explain carbon-paper. Venus would know. *LOL* Goodnight all.
 
Re: New GE Washer Agitation:

Hey! Steve, I'm curious to know as possibly with some others, does this new GE Washer's Tub turn Indexing, during the Agitation? It sounds like they do in the Specs of them in the GE Web-Site. It seems like a few of the newer Brands are doing that now, following the Westinghouse Top-Load and the WCI Frigidaire's as with the newer Electrolux-Made Frigidaire Washer's.

Peace and Happy GE Laundry Dazes, Steve

Tub Indexing

My neighbor has a Ge like this but it is a few years old. She bought it from a friend. After installing, and did a load with her, I noticed that the tub indexes slightly.

So, I do not know if much has changed in a few years.
 
Turn Indexing ?

"does this new GE Washer's Tub turn Indexing, during the Agitation?"

What is meant by "turn Indexing"?
 
ExtrAction Basket

I wonder if the "indexing" is what they refer to as the ExtrAction Basket? Have seen that in the specs but was not sure what it meant exactly.
 
Re: GE Extra Action Basket:

This is what made me think about the Indexing Tubs, in the GE Washers. I got to thinking about the original Westinghouse Washers, similar to Austin's and the newer "WCI" and Electrolux Frigidaire's and I even saw a new Admiral/Maytag Washer last year that the Tub did Indexing on, during the Wash and Rinse Cycles. It seems to be getting more popular with several Brands.

"OK" Toggles, in which way are you referring about knowing that you were going to like this Washer? What's your Turn-On about it, besides an Extra Action Basket!!!

Peace and Fun GE Wash Basket Action, Steve

What's your turn-on about it:

mechanically simple
easy to fix
nice looking
big capacity
plastique can't rust.

no joke- the short fast agitator stroke doesn't realy work for me
 
Re: Turn-On about GE Washer's Extra Action Basket:

Hey! Steve "Toggles" What's your turn-on about it:

If I'm correct in the Basket Indexing, it along with the Agitator that your new GE Washer has is facinating to me, watching the Turn-Over and Swirling around of the Laundry items.

They do seem like they do have a pretty good-size Capacity, but I wonder how long the Transmission will hold-up with quite a few Extra Large Loads of Towels, Bedspreads, Comforters, Jeans, Sweat Outfits, etc.

Yes, it does seem like it is quite simply put together, besides looking like it would be fairly simple to Repair.

plastique can't rust:

Thats true, but I've always wondered if items with Metal parts on them might catch near the Holes and cause jagged edges on the Holes, causing Ripping Clothing and/or Towels, etc!!!

I'm not real pleased myself with the Consoles, except for the newer Darker Console Profile's with the Stainless Steel Tub in the Washer and Stainless Steel Drum in the Dryers. Actually even though I know that the Hotpoint Washers and Dryers are basic GE's, I really like the Swirled Blue around the Controls an Timer, on their Washers and Dryers.

No Joke- the short fast agitator stroke
doesn't realy work for me:

Are you referring to the "DD" WP/Kenmore Washer's Faster Agitation, I'm assuming that the Slower/Longer Stroke works better for you, does it?

Happy GE Laundry Washing, Steve

Que dice?

Pat- the GOVT is forcing us to go frontal!

Steve- it indexes! but not as much as a Frigi-Lux!

Woking with www.putfile.com to get videos accessible to all, but right now it's affectionately known as(hijo de) puta-file to me!
 
I do believe what GE referers to as the "Extra Action Basket" are the models with the ribbed basket. I have seen them in both plastic and SS models. From the pictures it doesn't look like Toggles has this king of basket. The best way to describe it is that GE got the idea from an old fashioned wash board. As the tub shakes back and forth while washing, the clothes on the outer part (not near the agitator) are being scrubbed by the ribbed basket. Hence "Extra Action".
It's another example of a company using something probably not intended in the original design as a marketing tool by giving it a fancy name. Although in this case it seems like it should work pretty well.

Gotta agree with you logic, Ed-
Looks coincidental to me!

I find it odd that GE offers the simple basket as on my near BOL machine- a ribbed one in plastique, and a SS one.

Marketing, marketing, marketing. It is said that we Americans can sell refrigerators to Eskimos.
