Late 1980’s filter flo set

[repairguy]

I acquired this set between Christmas and New Years and just had a little time to tinker with the washer today. I replaced the agitator coupling as you could turn the agitator back and forth with your hand due to the rubber separating from the coupling. Cleaned it up a little and ran a few loads. Works great! It has a pinhole in the drain hose but other than that no leaks. I believe the pan and mini basket were probably with the machine, but I believe they were thrown away because the people that bought the house they were in did not know what they were. Thought I had a picture with the matching gas extra large capacity dryer but I guess not.

Washer model: WWA8354VLWH
Serial: HA125369G

Nice save!

Looks great! I always thought the spotscrubber features were more TOL but this is the first time
I’ve seen a MOL model with this option. Looks like a fun and versatile machine!

Cool A Spot-Scrubber

Hi Melvin and Jon, Yes I have never seen a MOL SS before, these were fun washers.

 

Melvin if you need the mini-basket for this washer I probably have an extra I could send, The SS MB is a little different as it does not have holes in the bottom of the MB, but I guess you could use a regular one and seal the holes in the Bottom?

I forgot I had a Spotscrubber, this one looks a little closer to TOL.

GE Extra Capacity Gas Dryer

Hi Melvin, at first you got me excited thinking you had one of the 30" wide 8 CF dryers [ some of these even had a 30,000 BTU burner ] but alas this is just the 27" extra deep dryer.

 

I did not care for these extra deep GE dryers, because of having the heater box underneath they had a rear drum seal and a very sensitive safety thermostat so the heat cycled a lot unless you had a short and perfect vent run so you ended up with a slow dryer.

Kenny, that’s a nice spot scrubber you have there. That’s the style I remember them being.

John, sorry to disappoint. I see the electric version of the dryer you speak of from time to time but I don’t think I’ve seen a gas one. I’ll keep my eyes peeled as now I want one. Were the 30” electric ones any good? I’ve worked on a few of those quite a few years ago now. Can you tell if one of these dryers is gas just by looking at the front of them? Was there an access panel?

GE Gas Dryers

All had the extra access door for the burner till around 1990 ? at least, some of the access doors has lovered vents in them others were solid.
