No Filter Flo GE

[Chetlaham]

This looks to be relatively TOL GE, yet if I'm not mistaken I'm not seeing a any type of filtration or re-circulation. Not so much as water on the rim flo. Did GE ever make such a version of their TOLs? Or am I just not seeing it.

 

BTW, I like the 1 minute long spin-spray.

Yes, this was one of the last gasps of a Filter Flo!!!

Whats the reasoning behind having what I assume is only a two port pump? Was this GE's final attempt at cutting costs before the release of the model T?

GE

The last 2 years GE went to the rim flow which I think is better than the FF. It's was annoying to put that filter pan in and out! Just my opinion!

IMO the rim flo did not work as well as the filter pan, and of course blocks the already divided spray rinse. Though I can certainly see the ease in not having to worry about a pan, which sometimes just went missing with some folks.

Yes, that machine has a Rim-Flo mechanism...

I can see it from the thumbnail of the video. IMO, I also feel that it didn’t work as well as the Filter-Flo system. The Rim-Flo ring on the 1988 Hotpoint washer I had for a few months back in 2020-2021 (which I still regret selling) was completely blocked up with hard water deposits, rendering it effectively useless. I feel that the constant movement of the Filter-Flo pan would have lended itself to being less likely to have that sort of thing happen to it.

During the spin drain, the rim flo's collected lint could be washed back into the tub by the water going over the rim and letting the lint be redeposited on the laundry. The plastic Filter Flo pans could get blocked/clogged with mineral deposits.

I've noticed the same thing about RimFlo's over the years. They get limed up, and don't work correctly.
