This washer is very similar to the one I grew up with, which was the 1954 Canadian GE that comes around as the pod occasionally (sp). Neighbors that lived above us had this washer, more BOL than ours. This one has a slide switch on the top of the console above the dial for hot or warm wash. The button on the right is the water saver. It is a 1 cycle washer with NO on/off switch. You have to pull the plug to shut it off..........really BOL. It is not a filter-flo either, but has the same 3 straight vane agitator. Ours had 2 knobs, the left one being the "fabri-flex" dial with hot, warm, and OFF settings. It did have an overflow rinse and would pause shortly after the first spin started in order for the clothes to settle down to the bottom of the tub. I always remember small articles of clothing getting caught in the pump, as all GE's were prone to do.
