GE washer transmissions

Reply number 17 oh for goodness sakes GE didn’t even make the transmissions in the model T washers. They were farmed out to the Murray lawnmower company or some nonsense like that.

What kind of oil they use in the transmission is like the most unimportant aspect of a washing machine that I can imagine. I’d be more worried about what color wire they used inside machine now that’s really important, lol.

GE T model top load washers

Hi Jerome, you need to do some reading and try to retain some information. Everybody knows that GE farmed out just about every part of that machine. Why would they make their own transmissions? Use some common sense, GE farmed out every part of that washer they could.

The lawsuit you’re looking for was whirlpool suing GE for stealing the dual action agitator concept for these washers. It had nothing to do with the style of agitation. You can’t patent that, common sense.

Why don’t you spend the afternoon reading and come back and teach everybody else something new rather than this why why why the same questions over and over again.

Well, what chet and I can tell you is that both GE and Whirlpool agitation actually sounded similar due to the double knock during agitation, and their dual action agitators also look similar. GE's sounded like gears were being tortured to death, whereas Whirlpool sounded smoother in comparison. Plus, I do believe Whirlpool cleaned better being the KING of laundry. GE's tub shook violently which made the agitation sound worse and the machine twist and shift. GE had no right to do that. I remember when I first got mine, I thought it was a Whirlpool due to the sound of the agitation when it was in fact, a GE model T.
