Opinions/Info welcome on this GE washer..

[~sudsshane]

I know this should probably be in the Imperial forum. I was hoping that posting it here in Super would ensure quick responses.

Is this a Filter Flo?
BOL or TOL?
approx year?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Should be a Filter-Flo, although towards the end of their run (mid 90's) they switched some GE's to the Hotpoint filter ring. This model seems to be late 80's????????? Need a money shot.

Filter-Flo
MOL
Mini-basket
2 speed
Probably is extra large capacity with the standard capacity agitator with extender on it.

I am thinking of buying this...the seller only wants $50.00 for it.

It's well worth $50.00. It's closer to MOL,I had one similar that had the removable filter pan.

Could this be model #WWA8620M?

I had the TOL(WWA8898M) right before the Neptune. Wish I had kept it and its mate, the dryer.

Good Luck!

Hi Gary~

The Model is: #WWA8858MAL...I am told it is a late 1980's to early 90's, MOL, 2 speed Filter Flo. A well knowledgable member took the time to email me and warn me that the later Model Filter Flo's has some mechanical issues.

So, I don't know...leaning against it.

your thoughts??

My two cents--

If you have the 50.00.

If you have the room.

If you have the desire.

If it runs, it runs, and if not, would be a good machine to learn on, perhaps.

I had a similiar model GE filter flo I bought new in early 1991. It was a MOL model. I had it only a year as I moved to Florida the following year so the washer got left with the house. I remember it being a good machine and it washed rather well. I think this was one of the last ones with the round filter pan on top of the agitator.

$50 isn't a bad price, but have a close look at the back panel, or better yet, underneath if possible. The back panel will be enough to tell if the lower tranny seal is leaking - an oil-stain line will be visible at about 12" from the bottom. I've seen some of these leak so bad that the delivery guys taking it away had to make a "diaper" out of the plastic wrap from the new washer to get the GE out of the house without ruining carpet and floors in the process. Good luck - FF's are very fun to play with.

I remember those stickers when I worked for Sears in the 80's.

EnergyGuide has been around since the very early 80s.
