This is the machine in question: ...

So my question is: What do I do? I realize I can find a newer motor - as there are a few of these round motors online, though not cheap - and I can take the old plate off and remount the new motor. Might as well do a whole new clutch and everything while I'm at it - but then there is the...

and here is the example I have... from a 95 machine that I junked for parts. You can see that the newer plates have a flat mount so when I tried to put this in the older model, it does't match up obviously...

I found this one one eBay... but I'm not spending $125 and shipping it from Canada if its not going to fit… Somebody here has to have one... http://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-Washer-Motor-Assembly-GREEN-PLUG-WH12X847-WH49X265-WH49X271-/161158999078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2585d32c26

Here is the motor... from the 69 3 speed. I put it on to see if it was indeed dead and it is - it just hums. Please look at the arrows for the mounting bracket - it shows how one side is vastly different and the other side has the screw mount that is dropped down. This is the problem when...

Hello everybody! Happy Spring!!! Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Things have been a bit crazy on my end. I'm trying to get my Programmed late 60's model GE working again. Some of you might remember that the motor from the 3 speed 69 FF I had burned up because of a bad relay. I...

Thank You guys! I was very moved by your responses. I'm still taking it all in.

Here is the thread for my grandfathers Obit - check it out! http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?44924_1 http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?44924_1

The local TV station that he started pays tribute: Here is the tribute that the station he used to work at put together and aired at the end of the 6 o'clock news the night of his funeral. I am the little boy in the second grandchild pic. http://wnep.com/2013/01/30/farewell-chester-sawicki/

My Grandfather, Chester Sawicki, was a pioneer of early American television and was internationally known as a legend in his time. He had a brilliant mind for solving problems and figuring out how to get things to work. He taught me so much and gave me my love for all things mechanical and for...

I'm so proud of myself - I was able to fix the timer on my 69 GE FF last night! The reason I had to put off continuing for a while was because my grandfather passed away on January 27th. I will post his obituary in another forum - many of you hear would probably be interested in his life in...

THANKS GUYS! This helps alot! Any suggestions on where to find the part numbers for these so I can look for them? I guess I should start with the model number?

Thank you! I'll check that out and report back!

Ok guys - the day has arrived that I was dreading. The timer for my 69 GE seems to have bit the dust. First thing I noticed was that it would only wash with hot water, no matter what the temp setting was set at - it would not energize the cold solenoid. Now, it doesn't want to agitate but it...

Drain Hoses I'm curious to see the drain hoses of this machine. Since its from '78, does it use the ribbed white plastic or the black with the anti-kink coil around it? One reason I ask is because of all the GE's I've seen, including the ones with a black rubber drain hose or a white ribbed...

Looks like a fun machine! I'd love to play with one! Never experienced ANY machine with suds saver - especially a GE! More pics when you get it back up and running please!

Thank you Ken And I will post more pics and the model number of my GE 3 speed as soon as I get a chance - I didn't forget - just have had a lot going on here... :-)

Just a request... I'm really enjoying this thread but can we please start a new one? This thread takes FOREVER to load because of all the pics... Thanks! Matt

Thank you everybody! It was indeed the Relay! I swapped it out and now I'm back in business! I didn't realize that could cause such problems. Well, learning from experience is always the best- even if its sometimes the hard way. I'm so grateful to this group and website for the knowledge and...

Ok Thanks Thats my last option before I'm at a loss. I'll have to do it tomorrow as I need to go up and get the relay from the other machine.
