Thanks for the replies. Good to know that bang is normal! I ran an empty wash cycle and it seemed to handle the spin cycle much better. No matter how carefully I load the washer, though, evenly distributing the clothes, it still shakes a lot. When I first got the machine and checked the...

Hi, Late last fall a neighbor gave me her old GE filter flo washer and dryer (1980s). Long story, but I didn't realize how old it was before I agreed to take it. I paid to have movers bring it up from her basement and down into mine and then my landlord's handyman to set it up. I have two...

Thanks Thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond. I'm a worrier, so it helps. I'll have to stay next to the washer the next time I use it and pay more attention to when the noise happens and just how loud it is. It's been a long time since I've had a washer at home and even longer...

Hi A few weeks ago I posted about a GE Filter Flo and Dryer pair that I got from a neighbor (I had their ages wrong in the post; they are actually 1986 washer and 1982 dryer). They are finally set up in the basement and I've done two loads of laundry (very exciting!) I do have a question about...

They are now in my basement (definitely a 2 man job and a tight squeeze down the stairs), but not hooked up yet. I'm going to get some help with that tomorrow, I hope. Here is a picture of the dryer panel. Does anyone have any tips for freshening up the washer? I have the lid open to air...

Unless they need to be hauled out of a basement with narrow Oh boy. They need to be moved up from a basement with narrow stairs and down into another basement with narrow stairs. I'm having professional movers do it.

Thanks to the people pointing out that the washer looks older 1994. I got the serial no. and if it's an '80s machine, it's 1986. The washer and dryer must not be part of a matching set, because according to the dryer serial no., the options are 2018, 2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1954. I don't have...

Thank you all for the replies! I am calming down a bit. I do have to hire someone to move them and I would hate to go through the expense and trouble to find they are not fixable. One thing the current owner told me was that when she had someone come to clean the dryer vent, he commented...

Hi Everyone, I'm new. Please forgive in advance any etiquette flubs on my part. I'm about to come into possession of a GE Washer/Dryer pair from 1994. I only have the serial number for the dryer right now (that's how I determined the year), but I do have some pictures of the panel of the...
