And after a mere 6 years, the 57 GE washer is...ready!

Maybe Jon can hook you up with where he had someone fab up the brake lining? Looks like he included the company info in his post about this a few years ago.

Cool video!

Thanks for sharing the video of a successful launch of your '57.  That's a fun machine to watch and I just love the filter-flo action - so darn effective against lint and fur.

 

Enjoy your yardwork and give your brain a rest; you'll get the problem corrected.

Our old 59 had the same problem. There is no tub brake but a tub pall I believe it's called that holds the tub (mostly) still during agitation. Robert can give you more info. His 58 has this same design.

Very Nice maiden wash video...

Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the spinning tub during agitation/activation situation fixed!

Sending positive vibes your way...
