🤢🤮 There is not way that washer can outperform a direct drive.

Not bad at all. I remember some back coil condenser fridges that had 13.5 oz of R12. In all honestly I'd take extra R12 is it meant the fridge had a coil that essentially won't get dirty as fast and is easier to clean.

What year was the washer made? 1970s onwards the pumps did fine being left alone.

There was no need to oil that pump. The majority of filter flo washers go decades without needing any type of manual lubrication.

That is the crux of the matter, along with many being victims of ignorance and brainwashing.

And the modern market of flimsy hanging suspensions. Model Ts were met with relatively little push back.

At this point all washers are equal, equally bad and equally built.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. I bet GE no longer even has the original master prints or specs of the Filter Flo on record. What I would give for that rapture. One where GE is literally buying filter flos of Craigs list to dismantle and scan each part for the purposes of making millions of...

Only thing that will bring about change is customers buying only simple, stout appliances at every purchase. There was once a point where Speed Queen began to surge in sales relative to what they normally sell every year and Whirlpool and GE clapped back with a "commercial" platform. If Speed...

Every model since the filter flo is exceptionally worse during an imbalance. Model T will literally self destruct. Even they survive, the tub straps often don't causing the tub to keep hitting the cabinet every cycle there after.

Exploding GE washer? Please. Veterans here will tell you the evils of GE filter flos walking across the floor and pulling their knotted cord out of the outlet. Oh the horror. :eek:

Many are now living with their parents because wages have not kept up with rising rent and mortgage rates. Perhaps its better that the appliances being shared by a half dozen or more people reflect that.

My 2009 GE Double Door refrigerator had a defrost heater failure. I called several places that sell and service appliances, all of them began pushing on selling me a new $2000+ fridge and that at 15 years it was "time for a new one" That is until I found a local tech willing to look at it. He...

R12 was used in refrigerators and home ACs way back when. R502 was used in commercial refrigeration. Two exceptionally superior refrigerants.

Right, to which they would advise you buying a new machine instead of repairing an older one.

I doubt it, but I could be wrong. My fridge is R134a, so I have a good reason to keep it in service as long as possible.

Until you have to add refrigerant or need to replace any component of the sealed system.

Ok, so the tech installed the new defrost heater. Will see how it goes. In so far the fridge is working great.

Right, however nearly all MOLs tended to have more than one cycle on the knob- something I do not have a preference for. With a water level selector of course this is my ideal washer control system:

You can balance a quarter on your A482. Its that good and that solid. Good luck with a modern machine.
