Timer speed shift Hi Eronie, thanks for advice. Took timer out and cant see anything, check it out and see what you think.

I have a 240 volt to 110 volt transformer, two in fact that are designed to plug appliances from USA in to UK or Australian power supply. The rest of the machine is designed to run on 240 volts, I don't think it would work very well on 110 volts. I also have a Maytag Atlantis washer and dryer...

That is great, thank you so much for helping me out, really appreciate it. I guess you could send regular parcel post and I could pay you via paypal? Would that work? Alternatively, I could send cash via mail in $US. Not sure how else to do it. Not usre if there are any postal services where...

If you could send me one that would be fantastic! What would I need to do with the resistor, bearing In mind I have very little knowledge of electricity? I can pass on my address directly to you and I need to figure out how to pay you. Let me know what you think. Many thanks Simon

Thanks so much for trying, really appreciate your help. What I understand of electricity I could write down on a stamp. I am much more mechanically minded but great to hear your explanations. Got the new filter tray going again in the washer this morning.

Hi cfz2882, Do you think a 60 hz would work on my machine? I would rather the timer were a little too slow than running at double speed. If it would work would it be possible to buy one from you? I would be most grateful. Look forward to hearing back from you. Cheers Simon

Hi John, Many thanks for your reply. Very interesting information. So the GE Filta Flo washers from the 80s don't have a two speed timer, figures as there seems to be no mechanism for switching between the two speeds. I will check out to see if there is any more info on the timer motor. It...

Thanks, that all makes sense and agree, I don't think the different voltage would be the issue. It still seems that the timer is stuck on a faster speed for use with the mini basket. Not having much luck getting a new timer for it, drawn blanks so far. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated...

Hi Dave, the washer is marked as running at 50Hz. Here in Australia we run our power at 230 volts and 50Hz. I kind of figured that the main motor running the agitator and spin would burn out if not designed to run on 230volts. I guess the same would be true for the timer motor too. Very...

Timer running too fast So I was wondering if the timer was running at double speed because the washer was made in Canada and I guess the electricity is run at 110 volts same as USA. In Australia we have 240 volts. Though the info on the model number plate says 240 volts, perhaps the timer motor...

Hi Guys, Indeed when the water level switch is turned from min to max a camb moves a lever That pushes a white rod that goes in to the centre of the round pressure switch. There is click when turning to mini basket which pushes the rod a little further in but once past the click it pops back...

Hi Mike, I am really chuffed to get a personal message from you. You have the most fabulous collection of washing machines and you have inspired me with my collection. I wish I had as many machines as you. I was bidding on the Hoover Keymatic when the two were on eBay before I left the uk. I...

Happy Prosperous and Health 2012 To Everyone Thank you everyone who has spent the time to give me advice and guidenace in getting my old GE FF up and running. Australia is just about the first country aside New Zealand to see the New Yaer in.

wiring schematic for GE FF Hi Eronie, here is a copy of the scematic, doesn't make much sense to me (I am a Registred Nurse)

So this evening I got brave and started to dismantle the timer. Took the timer motor off. It just had 2 wires going in to,it and had a small cog that interfaced with the cog that drives the camb shaft of the timer. A really simple device. Yet to venture further and remove the timer completely...
