Got my “new” Filter Flo up and running recently in great condition. Now all I need is just a dispenser, and I can’t find one anywhere. The part number that I need is wh47x39

Stuck agitator Spray some wd-40 underneath the cap into the bell housing and let that sit for a bit. Spray some more and let that sit also. Reach your fingers underneath the base of the agitator and pull up sharply while twisting it side to side. Keep doing this and applying wd-40 and you’ll...

Thanks for the advice! I actually don’t need to modify the fill flume as it already sprays on the clothes, and it doesn’t look modified at all. I honestly think most of the noise isn’t coming from the filter flo pump. The noise it makes is way too non uniform. One moment it’ll be clanking...

I still do need a fabric softener dispenser though, and any advice on the clutch would be much appreciated

Thanks! I absolutely love this thing, and I’ll gladly sacrifice quietness for very clean clothes. The agitation and rollover is fantastic, even when overfilled. I’d even go as far as to say the ramped Activator is probably the best agitator ever designed! If only GE still made them like this today.

And now it’s finished! It works and cleans great! It is a bit louder than usual and I think the motor needs some fresh oil. I also noticed that my 2 speed clutch has lost its 2 speed ability as it doesn’t agitate any slower on gentle. However, I have absolutely no idea how this clutch works, let...

Got the inner tub cleaned up and put back on. The plastic bits like the filter spout, bleach dispenser, and clothes retaining rink have yellowed significantly and are very brittle. They were also extremely difficult to clean and I couldn’t get all the dirt off. After I got the inner tub in, I...

Applied 2 coats of POR-15 and got the new boot on. Took a couple attempts to get that boot secured without any leaks!

Ok so I apologize for the long delay. I’m in college so I don’t have a lot of available time to put towards this. But fall break finally came and went and I was finally able to finish this. The condition of the outer tub after cleaning it was absolutely fantastic. Very little rust and the...

Thanks! My boot feels very dry rotted and stuff so I’ll be sure to snag that one on eBay. I don’t think I need a new pump though. Mines a little yellowed and dirty but appears to be in overall good shape. Thankfully tub gaskets and splash guards are still available because I definitely need...

And got the boot off.

UPDATE: I finally got the cap off. There was so much yuck underneath that it had actually fused with the agitator shaft. So I got that and the inner tub out, and that inner tub was a lot heavier than I was expecting.

Why in the wide world of sports would someone put the hoses on backwards on purpose???

I know there’s a tab on the plastic cap. Even then, it’s still completely solid. Like, fused onto something underneath solid. That transportation idea though is actually brilliant! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. And how in the world did someone manage to put the recirculation tubes on...

The agitator was stuck on there pretty firmly but after dumping too much WD-40 on it and pulling with more muscle than I could muster it finally came up. When I got it, I made the mistake of transporting it on its back and the boot separated from the tub, so to fix it I have to remove the inner...

A few days ago I bought my first washer, a 1986 GE Filter Flo model WWA8320GALWH. It’s in alright condition, but pretty dirty. I’m gonna begin the long tedious process of refurbishing it. I’ve never done anything like this before so I have zero experience, so I apologize for any dumb things I...

Yeah. It was due to it being a solid outer tub.

Ok guys good news I managed to get it off

And holy hell this agitator is TIGHT! Even after WD-40 it won’t budge.

Alright so I’m home now and here are a couple pictures:
