When I was younger, we had a mobile vacation home which had a hotpoint washer variant made in early 1980s, and I would lift the lid, stick a butter knife in the switch and watch it go, eventually we got a new mobile home and the washer went with it because it was just too far gone in broken parts. We got a new washer and scrapped the old one. Man the memories. The humming during wash just makes me miss that thing
I definitely remember these washers from the laundromats back in the days. I love the sound of these washers. I'm not too fond of today's washers except for the Speed Queen, and the Maytag Commercial washers....I'm Eric by the way and I have been viewing washer videos since 2016. I only made two recordings of the Wascomat senior washer and that was it but I continued on viewing and subscribing to other washer videos including this one. Nice video and nice washer 👍 keep up the good work.
I agree Speed Queen is one of the only modern day washers (top load specifically) that I do like although the ones with the stationary tubs do a little bit better than the ones that have a rotating tub which reminds me of the Frigidaire Gallery top loaders
@@jonathanashbeck3740 Yes especially the TC5 models. I like the TC5 and its washing performance. The TR series is very much like the he washers that only swish the clothes around.
This is also one of the last GE Filter Flos ever made. They made the ones designed a bit cheaper in 1995 too I believe. Those “chug chug” GEs came out in the 90’s.
Thanks for the videos! I love the sound of the tapping of the cabinet at fast speed. I'd like to hear it when you start out soft then get loud in a long drum roll recording on the washer. It's very cool sounding.
Those pauses aren't intended as soak periods. The pauses before spin are required for the motor to completely stop so it can reverse direction. The pauses are longer than necessary due mechanical design of the timer. The pause before rinse agitation ... the timer doesn't run during the rinse fill, it starts when the target fill level is reached and the contacts on the water lever switch close. The timer must advance a bit to engage the motor contacts for agitation.
The long spray rinse that starts early on Perm Press first spin is a cool down so clothes aren't compressed and wrinkled while hot or warm. It apparently by starting early also keeps the first spin from reaching full speed due to drag from the water not fully draining out of the tub. A cool down isn't needed if Perm Press clothes are washed in cold water.
You made some sentence errors. Here’s the correct formal writing: “It apparently happens by starting early, which also keeps the first Spin cycle from reaching full speed.”
I love the sound of the drum roll on the cabinet. I'd like to hear it when you start out soft then get loud when tapping on the cabinet fast with both hands. I'm Jerome Davis and I'm legally blind by the way. I do love washers and dryers and can identify by touch. I'd love to meet you. When I identify people, I can ID them by their hands and how they feel.
They are haha. It's mostly due to the fact Haier Electronics now owns GE appliances. They've been a cheap company from the start and its sad to see them tear down a well known and reliable washer company
Well I figure I will! My name is Bailey, I'm a 15 year old girl from Georgia who cuts grass and sells appliances for a living. The videos I make are of both my personal machines and ones I have for sale. All my personal ones are LG branded so they shouldn't be hard to spot!
@@nhrawashervideos6567 Nice to meet you too lol. I have nothing against lgbtq. That GE washer sounds like it's walking on small. Where's Officer GE filter-flo? Could it be his footsteps? I know he's not gonna arrest these stains! Officer Filter-Flo will get these clothes out of a dirty situation and send these dirty stains into the jail!
Without the filter flo these machines are very quiet. This was the last year for these classics. Nothing that followed were built as well or as durable as these were.

Nice washer! This will definitely outlast any modern pile of junk washer manufactured these days

I had one of these, but a 1984 Extra Large Capacity !! Gone are the days of enamel finishes
This is when GE made quality appliances. These machines were work horses and they actually cleaned your clothes using enough water.
This is also one of the last GE Filter Flos ever made. They made the ones designed a bit cheaper in 1995 too I believe. Those “chug chug” GEs came out in the 90’s.
Probably one of the last Filter Flo’s ever made.

Why do y’all like that
REAL WASHER,👍👌👍
the best permanent press cycle ever!!!!!

Yes I'm quite familiar with the mechanical side of these machines. I just label them as a Soak in the video description.
Do you still have this machine? Great vid btw
I do not. I just got a 1982 model in though. if I fix it I'll make some videos with it
@@nhrawashervideos6567 Nice! Can't wait to see!

Who is Jerome Davis if you are Baily shooting be the video?
Jerome is just a viewer. I'm the only one who has anything to do with the production of these videos.

@@kmcdowell1250 It reminds me of ASMR. The tapping sound doesn't bother me a bit.

Way better than the new GE machines that are made today which are a piece of shit.

Also, I think it would be nice to introduce yourself. Just saying.

@@nhrawashervideos6567 Bailey does sound like a girl's name, but I could've sworn it was a boy/guy voice. No offense.
@@jeromedavis8575 no worries on the voice part haha! I'm transgender so I can see it easily being confused. But it's nice to meet you Jerome!
