Most Maddening Washer Commerical

[Chetlaham]

Not car suspension components, rather dampening straps. There are 4 of them in each model T and Modern VMW.

Whirlpool's snubber doesn't have as much effect as may be presumed.  Vintage service literature states that it should prevent a 4-1/2 pound weight from causing the tub to impact the cabinet during spin.  4-1/2 lbs.

Not to mention that the early models with the original tub ring design that's fully open (no raised interior edge) to water splashing during agitation at lower fill levels, soapy/slippery water substantially reduces the snubber's friction.

strap knocking

I remember in 2004, the washer would make a knocking sound when the agitation started. I suspect it had something to do with the suspension straps. As it progressed, the noise would discipate.

model t

Why did GE call their washers model t? It sounds like they stole that name from Ford.

to chetlaham

This was especially true for super sized loads when the washer twisted and shifted when on normal/fast. It did get my family's clothes clean though.

The 4 point hanging assmebly design never belonged in a super capacity central agitator washer. The model T was simply a role play toy to extract the remaining wealth out of GE's name. It worked exactly as intended, for GE only.

GE today

It seems that GE today doesn't care. I'm still trying to figure out why GE named their plastic tub washers model T.
