Hi Tony, this sounds like the most likey cause of the short pump-out/spin time. Where abouts is the speed shift and what does it look lik? How does the washer know when the mini basket is being used? The only things I can see are the mini basket setting on the water level which I think just sets...

Cheers Doug, I might try that. At the moment I am setting the auto extra rinse to do a second deep rinse to ensure the load rinses properly. If I set it to low water level ther is no problem but on high water level it takes too long to empty. It is like the first spin and spray rinse is too...

I hope everyone had a great holiday season. It gave me some time to fix the old GE Filter Flo I got on eBay the other week. Managed to fix rust and leaks in outer tub. Did an empty run first. Works great except that at the end of the washy phase, it pauses, starts to spin and pump out. However...

Another picture, sorry for poor quality

More advice needed re repair to GE filter flo washer I finally managed to get the wash basket out. Two bolts came out relatively easily the third was an absolute bitch and I ended up obliterating the bolt head but at least got it out. Notsure where I can get a replacement bolt, any ideas? I...

basket removal Managed to get the plastic cover off, it was full of crap. Soaking the bolts wirh WD40 before I attempt to remove them. Really worried they may shear off

This is where I am up to now with tub basket removal. I am thinking that the water inlet nozle and the bleach dispenser nozle may get in the way of pulling the tub out? I just cant see how to get the plastic thing off to get to the bolts to remove the basket

Cheers, thank for that. I have been trying to pull this plastic cover off but it wont budge, any tips to help get this off?

Hi there cfz2882, thanks for your advice. I have got the agitator off the spindle relatively easily. I have the top open, where are the three bolts I need to remove? I am guessing underneath the outer wash tub? Cheers Simon

Hi Guys, I just picked up an old GE top load washer from EBay in Sydney yesterday. It is a great old machine but when I connected it up it was leaking badly from where the sump enters the outer tub at the bottom. On close inspection there was some rust and a small hole. I have patched the hole...

Thank guys for your replys, much appreciated. Matthew, I really like the look of the Electolux washer range. I think Electrolux took over from zanussi though I think Zanussi still sell in the UK and Europe. Cheers Simon

Hi guys, I have a zanussi IZ front load washer that must be over 10 years old now. It is a dream machine and has never broken down and has withstood shipping from UK to Australia when we relocated 5 years ago. It is still going strong and washes really well. One of the best things about it is...

Ok guys, I have a Maytag Atlantis washer and an old Simpson TL washer that share the same cold water supply with a Y adapter. Today when the Maytag was filling, water started to trickle in to the Simpson washer, even though it was not switched on. When I switched the Maytag off so it stopped...

Hi Leon, Thanks for the heads up on the motor and drive belt tension on the old Simpson tl washer. It is working like a dream now. I will take the new belt back to the appliance spares store for a refund. Simon

Hi Leon, Indeed yes the washer was layed on it's front in the back of the car when I picked it up. I did note that the motor did have some movement in it. I will take the bottom panel off and have a look. Really appreciate your advice, sounds very promising. Cheers Leon Simon.

Hi guys, I just got an old Simpson tl washer on eBay here in Sydney, model 165. For it's age it is in great cosmetic condition. However, the drive belt from the motor to the pulley that drives the agitator and the spin tub is lose. Therefore agitation is very slow and weak and no spin as the...
