    GE GFW450 SSm1WW Front loader-stinky clothes complaint

    I measured the water temp and its 136.8f. Not sure why I thought it was 120. Today I figured I would just clean it real well every where I can and possible replace the seal that I ordered. I went down to look at the machine to see how the soap dispenser looked and what type it is so I could...

    GE GFW450 SSm1WW Front loader-stinky clothes complaint

    I thought 120f was the maximum tap water should be for Risk of burns? That TEAD video was eye opening smell and mold after just 10 loads. Now where to find a powder product with TEAD? perhaps the P&G Arial from Mexico can be found in Hispanic stores and has it.?? The Indian guy on you tube...

    Well the sound is back for sure. But at least I know it's an eminent catastrophe. Hopefully I did the utube link correct.

    Maytag washer clunking sound during agitation

    odd it is not sounding unbearably loud on the load just now. it is possible the noise I heard was a unbalanced load in the rinse cycle. Which may be a different issue. I did go look at it and the load didn't look very unbalanced but I also moved the washer around on its sloped platform (with...

    Maytag washer clunking sound during agitation

    well just 2nd load and it appears the sound is coming back. could there be to much wear on the shaft or brake assy splines? Maybe I can find some real thick sticky grease. I inspected the shaft spline real close but maybe it was worn> I didnt inspect inside the brake. The brake assy is like...

    Maytag washer clunking sound during agitation

    Well it appears that grease was what she needed. The tranny still moves but no clunking sound. How long the grease will stay in there as it must be being squished back and forth with no seal to keep it in. I bought Lucas marine grease but it wasn't any thicker than my moly lube or and...

    Maytag washer clunking sound during agitation

    I got the brake off. If you would have said to hit the vise grips at their tip near the screw! I was using it like a lever at first. It took more than love taps for sure. Radial bearing feels good. Splines don't look to be worn. I figure they are this multi faceted shape. The...

    Maytag washer clunking sound during agitation

    I did switch the vise grips from what is shown in the picture as this is counterclockwise removal. I have smacked it quite a bit with a dead blow but not like a gorilla.. my vise grips are denting the outer ring of the brake and they pop off after a couple hits. I'm not normally a farmer type...
