I have an Eaton Viking 1988 washing machine....
Eaton Viking 8 2-speed Heavy Duty washing machine approx age 1988 model EW407FT119......most were mfg by GE......(Moffat is also an old sub-name of GE)
This washing machine just keeps purring along....so dependable.
Location for Model Sticker on this machine is on the outside, lower right side.
Recently I had a problem of low/no water drainage during the wash & rise cycle.......I first unplugged the washing machine from the electric power.... I found a small dish cloth had been sucked into the drain hose and was blocking the flow of water.....I removed the back cover of the washer and was able to see the water pump right at the rear of the washer......I loosened the clamp and hose from the bottom of the drum and removed the dish cloth and that solved the low/no drainage problem.....careful, there will be a lot of water released once the blocking object is removed from the hose so have a large pail ready to catch the water.
I also have an Eaton Viking 5 1988 Heavy Duty Electric Clothes Dryer also made by GE and it is just a workhorse.....no major problems at all.....I have read that appliance serviceman have stated that these 1980s Viking/GE appliances are so dependable......don't get rid of them, just keep fixing them....
