Has anyone ever come across a white control panel set of Filter Flo's like this. I've never seen an all white control panel before. I'm assuming this style is pre-85. Sorry if not.

Wow, albino Filter-Flo's! I've never seen them. The flat-top control panel looks different than the classic version, too. Interesting!

Wow, those are AWESOME!!! Can't say I've seen a "retro" white control panel before! Judging by the controls they're early-90's machines but obviously years ahead...especially since the majority of washer control panels at that time were dark!
Also, in 1995, just as the line was being phased out, GE did make some Filter-Flo washers carrying the Profile name if you can believe that! I saw one at a used-appliance store and was quite shocked!

I saw these in Waco at the GE dealer in the early 1990s. They were GE's answer to the emerging white-on-white color scheme. They were TOL and I think were even SpotScrubbers. These were the next to last rendition (Car Mike in CA has the last rendition of these) before FF went away.
Wow!

Albino ! lol
I agree they would be early 1990s. I had a MOL ge washer with the black console and same panel configuration from 1992.

The next panel design would be the slanted (whirlpool'ish) panel, just before the FF went away. Scott and I saw a TOL GE at a store with the Profile name on it...I think I have a brochure/catalog with those in it.

Ooooh, now I will have to have a set of those too!
Totally tricked out! I LOVE those!
Are those control panels vertical or slanted? From the close shots they look vertical and very smart. My V-12 middle of the line washer is the last all white GE control panel I have seen and now these beauties. I must admit that I do more looking behind appliance stores than in the showroom so I never saw these new.

I've got a FF washer,in white,with the white slanted back console. This one I have is rather plain looking in contrast to yours,I'll get a pic this weekend.

White Face GE Washers and Dryers
There was indeed a trend to white face appliances in the 90's. I bought a pair of Maytag's in 1994 that were the upgrade model of the black face ones that were the BOL model. Chrome, and wood grain were phasing out at this time. All white was refreshing in appliances, and retro-progressive.

I wonder if those were built for a specific retail chain. For instance,IIRC,Frigidaire sold some 1-18's through K Mart,that had a different looking console than the regular ones offered. And there are models that Lowes sells these days,that you can't get at other retailers.

Is this the "whirlpool" style you speak of? BTW,this one is going to meet it's maker,a bad clutch,and a transmission oil leak did it in.
