I’m getting to the point where I’m going to disregard ANY thread about anything GE, especially the Filter Flo washers and crappy models that replaced the Filter Flo machines in the 1990’s. GE never seemed to ‘get it’ with washers, had the Filter Flo washers that held 2 quarts of oil that would either spill onto the floor or destroy whatever was being washed when the top of the transmission corroded away, used a absurd amount of water which provided marginal rinsing, had a clutch that would fail when a 2 speed motor did the job perfectly fine.
To put it this way, GE Filter Flo washers are the Buick Dynaflow of the washer world, work well but aren’t efficient or have any major advantage over something else contemporary. Might sound like I am contradicting myself since I use older machines, but a Whirlpool or Kenmore belt drive washes and rinses better than a GE FF while using a little less water. Maytag of course uses less water too and probably rinses the same as a GE FF.
