Gentlmen
I will check for you tomorrow morning and verify the following description, before I go in search of a vehicle
to retrieve the avacado G E versatronic dryer that I snatched up @ Salvation Army this afternoon. If you can, check the recent link(s) to the yellow G E kitchen appliances w/cabinets; I have that era G E dishwasher, as a sink combo
(minus the sink) Simply, on mine, there is a substantial rubber gasket on the top edge of the tub. ( It might be helpful if you "conjure up" [so to speak] a trash compactor)
Anywho, the all metal (enamaled/porcelined) lid is held in a fixed position. Held suspended that is. Attached to the handle
on the front top of the machine is a rod that extends and attaches to a cross piece of channel type steel at the back of the unit.At the approximate center point of the rod is a
cam type device, (there might even be two cams, I can't recall
right now) So, when the handle is turned from the 3:15 posi-
tion to the 6:30 position the cam(s) press the lid down and
hold it firmly against the rubber gasket. At this point, one has properly loaded the dishwasher and added the required amount of Cascade or Electrasol; simply manually advance the timer dial to the "Start" designation and go about clipping
the current coupon offerings, while the dishes are being automatically restored to condition suitable for their next use!
