Never Used? GE Kitchen Center in Kountze, Texas

[Unimatic1140]

It does look kinda mint, if you are seriously interested please email me and I will forward you this guys email address...

This Kitchen has NEVER been used it was a display only purchased by my Uncle for a future use.. The entire kitchen center is in pristine condition.. Washer/Dryer combo Model 1wd 562NIG, Oven/Stove Model 1J247G1n1, Top Loading Dishwasher Model 1SS600NG (or a 6instead of the G), Refrigerator Cat# KTCVR Mod 495...

The Washer, Dishwasher and Stove Oven are all connected with a single stainless countertop which contains a sink and dishwasher between the washer and dishwasher.. The Refrigerator is a 3 door horizontally wall mounted unit that was I believe to be installed above the kitchen center...

Any info or interest that you may have please let me know..

Nice in my house *where*??? LOL!

But surely it would be kewl to have, and surely it cannot be allowed to become Krusher Fodder!

[westytoploader]

Yes, you have to admit you want it, if for none other than the Combo! ;-)

If it was pink, my friend Brenda would probably already be on the road for it!

Just perfect to add a bit of color to your garage Glenn!!(ducks and runs too)

Justin, GE often mixed pink and turquoise in their kitchens with the base cabinets being one color and the wall cabinets another. The one we rescued had the deep cadet blue base cabinets and pink wall cabinets and wall mounted refrigerator.

I can't see enough detail on the combo to read how the buttons are labeled, but if it has the water heater button, it is probably the first model and would have 4 tub vanes instead of 6 and would also have a real transmission. This was the only GE combo to spin after the drain period following the wash and the first two rinses, instead of just one spin at the end of the third rinse.

I wonder if the turquoise Club Aluminum is for sale also?

The cabinet under the sink contains the electrical and plumbing hook ups for the entire unit. There is one hot water connection and one cold as well as the drain. All are solid copper. There is one 240 volt connection to the breaker panel. All of the internal wiring and plumbing is installed at the factory.

Now that is cool. Glenn, you and Austin should make a road trip out of it and bring it home! At least see how much it might go for... How often do you find new, never used?

Tom, didn't the first GE combo not have a window? Hard to tell from the buttons at that distance. That Club in turquoise is pretty, to look at!

I'd love to have a wall refrigerator in my garage, it would be perfect for above a washer and dryer or the KDS-18 and compactor.

You are so right Bobo

Let's fly in and drive it back to God's Little Acre, aka
Tobacco Road; I do need a wall refer!!!

 

[accapp]

Can you post some good pics of the fridge?

 

[jetcone]

Oh Glenn

I'd even come down to help you install it!!

And Greg you need that Wall fridge in the garage for sure then you can move out the upright fridge and put another stove under it!!

17 hours. hmmmmmmmmm. Would like to have this beautiful set, but don't think I could do it. Not since its 17 hours away. Too bad.

Our Combo

My families GE Combo purchased in 1956 about a month before my parents brought me home from the adoption agency was white, had a window, and my mom always told me it had FIVE rinses and I think it had two spins somewhere in between. Or perhaps she told me that it TRIED to spin 5 times until it (I don't know what). Perhaps someone else knows. My Mom is 80 and doesn't remember. She tries but doesn't have the same old appliance obsession that I have.

I don't know about the undercounter models, but my machine (when it was in service before this recent incident) had 3 rinses, and 3 spin/distribution phases. After the gearmotor slowed the tub back down again, the machine would shut off, pause for a few seconds, begin tumbling for a few more seconds, then the timer would advance and you would hear the gearmotor wind up for spin again. Very interesting to say the least.

 

[gansky1]

There are flush rinses during the drain phases, perhaps that would account for the extra rinses she remembers beyond the three deep rinses.

you NEED this for your landry studio....how about your mom's potting shed? (reefer for Corona)

^5 on that *kountze witha C* remark....folks have been saying that for years~

*still chuckling*

Yay, I have been looking high and low to find this. I have one too but it is not as beautiful as the turquiose one. We just bought a house and this is what it came with. I would like to sell it but did not even know where to start with what to call it and what it would be worth. I am not appliance junkies like you all and if anyone has any advice for me, it would be much appreciated. I will attach a picture. Thank you so much.

Update on the GE

I emailed the seller last week, and he responded today that he had not been feeling well, which is why he had not been able to answer any emails. Will let you know when I hear more.

That is a beautiful Sunny Yellow GE kitchen center you have there. There was an identical model in California on eBay (out of the house though) quite a while back that never sold. Good luck finding a home for it, and removing it if you plan to remodel! Hopefully someone with a big enough place will be able to get it. I noticed the owners who put it in did not opt for the matching wall refrigerator, very interesting.

I have to say, the main issue with not being able to find homes for these (or transport them easily) is the sheer size of them. Since it is one piece and non-modular, it requires a large amount of space to store, which is really why not everyone wants one. I'm willing to bet the main unit weighs 1000 lbs or more.
