I wish I could take a trip to Ottawa. That is EXACTLY the unit I have. I could use some back up parts.

Hello Chetlaham. Thank you for your response. I apologize for the delay getting you this picture. The original information disappeared years ago, but someone else on the site provided me with this one. I hope this provides the information you wanted.

Hello. I'm hoping that some of you folks that are more knowledgeable than myself can help me out again. I have a early 80's Eaton's Viking dryer and washer. These are GE units private labeled for the Timothy Eaton's department stores in Canada. I tried to do some laundry in the washer and...

Repairguy, I hope that you get this. I realize it has been awhile since you advised which motor kit to buy. I wanted to thank you for your advice, it worked great. I did have to move the rear mounting bracket since the new motor is slightly shorter than the original, and the shaft for...

Hello. Thank you for the information , it is a big help. The pulley does not seem to come off the motor shaft, so that information is really useful. From your description of the motor, I would guess that mine is the square version. I have included pictures of the dryer and the motor, as you...

The serial number appears to be LR39478. The stampings on the plate on the dryer are not really lined up very well. The part number that I posted for the motor is stamped right into the motor housing and I thought that would be the best way to locate a motor. I triple-checked and there aren't...

Hello Repairguy. I've tried online searching with the model number but I haven't been able to find any reference to the machine. The model number, including what I feel may be extra bits, is ED700EW4191 JY5 76635. I tried searching specifically for this series, as well as shortened versions.

Hello. I have gotten help on my Eatons Viking (Filter Flo) washer in the past, and I'm hoping for some on my dryer. The dryer is an early 80's vintage (I think), GE, private labeled for T. Eatons Co. in Canada. A couple days ago it stopped running, in that it has power and hums when the start...

I have seen some of the splined inserts for sale. Do you know if the part number WH1X1944 would be the correct insert? Do you have any suggestions regarding replacement?

Hi John. Yes, the bearing is in place and seems to fit well. It looks like the agitator had been wobbling, but I don't know for how long. There is wear on the bearing and damage to the tub finish and agitator. The bearing has a small groove half way around it just above the bottom shoulder...

I have a mid 80's Eaton Viking (private label Filter Flo) with an agitator that is giving me headaches. A couple weeks ago the agitator started (I believe) rising up and disengaging from the splines on the drive shaft. I spoke to a local parts guy who advised replacing the rubber retainer on...

Hi there. I've been looking for a replacement agitator like yours for my Filter Flo. In doing so, I came across some filters that look like NOS on ebay.ca. Ebay stuck my search under GE washer and dryer parts. Hopefully you can find something there.

I have an 80's GE Filter Flo washer. Recently the curved-fin agitator started to disengage from the agitator shaft during the wash cycle. I was instructed to replace the rubber bushing on the agitator shaft. Apparently the worn rubber allowed the agitator to wobble on the shaft. The collar...

If the collar is separate from the agitator, how does the agitator stay fixed to the drive shaft? I have tried to set the agitator back in place on the shaft, but it loosens during the second half of the wash cycle and rises up on the shaft. This means that the water that should be entering...

I have an 80's vintage, Eatons Viking 8 labeled, Canadian Filter Flo washer. I remoed the agitator from the drive shaft, and discovered a collar at the bottom of the shaft. This collar is the same material as the agitator, and fits into the bottom of the agitator. The collar has a single...
