My God. The refrigerator. No. No. No. I can't do this hell again.

You have the first shot

But if you decide not to, I'd love to get them.

The ad shows to have been listed for 15 hours and is now marked sold. Someone wanted a house full of pink appliances. That may be the only GE washer and dryer in pink. I have the washer in white but unfortunately it has been stored in humidity for the past 25 years and is no longer in good condition.

Those are really nice; even the sink looks new. I think those GE appliances are 1964 models.

Quick sale, the washer and dryer are worth the asking price alone.

Hello Jeannine ~

Always loved how I wrongly thought you were a guy with a name like spacepig, but you're not. Good for you! LOL.

That is one beautiful GE. Justs nuts over the elevated control panel, so befitting the General of Electric.

Thanks again for the wonderful machine you once listed here that I was able to buy.

What a find!  I agree about the sink - it looks like it's never been used.

abandoned? The house looks well loved like the appliances.

These must have been end of the line because... didn't pink end in '64?

Thanks for your kindness Ken. But I wasn't going to do it. When I think what I went through last time. There was no way I was going to get that GE refrigerator. Particularly if I had no one to repair it if anything went wrong.  The best of luck to whomever got it.

So.... I take it the white strips under the controls light up? Love 'em! Greg

 

[bajaespuma]

I hope whoever got them appreciates them

Whether they're A's from '65 or B's from '66. I'm betting '65 because, IIRC, that was the last year you could get Petal Pink GE appliances.

Wow these all are amazing! I wonder who purchased them? There have been a lot of nice vintage ge washers and dryers well ge appliances period popping up lately, but of corse I cannot get my hands on them. Either 8 plus hours away or already sold.. maybe one day!

Those pink 'pliances look absolutely gorgeous!

Really, we've never seen a pink GE laundry here, especially so TOL?!

Someone here at AW really does need to get 'em...

Beautiful GE pink washer and dryer

Wow, it is so rare to see a washer and dryer pair in pink, it wasn’t a very popular color ever in laundry appliances, and it’s always rare to see any automatic washer that lasted this long except possibly a Maytag that doesn’t do anything in the first place lol

Which came first, light on top of console, light below console, or just a randomly different configuration?

 

[pulltostart]

Dan,

They were both offered at the same time.  The ones illustrated, with the lamp below the controls was the nicer of the two models.

Interesting, I guess GE spared the extra expense for different configurations. Not something Maytag would have done being as ultra conservative as they were but the late 50's-early/mid 60's were ripe with unique designs and options from other manufactures before they, too, became more conservative in order to save costs/increase profits.

“Rare to see any automatic washer that lasted this long except possibly a Maytag that doesn’t do anything in the first place lol”.

Huh, my clothes went in dirty and came out clean in all the Maytag’s I own, I don’t know why but I must be doing something right. Always careful how many clothes I put in along with the amount of detergent I use. Next, I’ll experiment with 3 to 5 minute wash times for lightly soiled clothes and see if there’s any difference then if I were to use the full 10 minutes or so.
