this one was listed here recently in columbus ohio. i bought it for 50 bucks and picked it up last week! i love top loaders and this is my 4th g.e. built top loader using the vertical pump and motor system.
these g.e.'s are my favorite and i will keep grabbing them as long as they come along for a reasonable price!
from said it leaked. i assumed it had a bad pump seal. and there are no more out there that i can find. but after closer inspection i see why it would leak. someone has put it a peice of plexiglass where the original plastic panel was. this plexiglass has a chunk missing, there's the leak!
but the tub itself is very good. i can paint this rust on the racks with appliance touch up paint. and this machine will hardly ever be used except occasionally to keep the pump seal moist.
i "adopted" from my low life neighbor who was renting the house next to me. she got herself evicted and i took in the cats to save them from the pound! whitey is the most beautiful one! they love my dog, hate my other cat "pia" and keep all the mice away!
removed easily! these g.e.'s are usually very easy to dismantle!
this being a later model has a plastic lower drain pump and two plastic ports for the drain hose and power shower hose. the earlier models used a metal pump and drain ports. larry in parma told me they switched to plastic as the ports on the metal ones would break off. little g.e. trivia here!
of the earlier model metal drain pump housings. you can see how the ports are just pressed in. this one is from a g.e. mobile maid i picked up about 2 months ago.
and tried to remove impeller. i would not budge! every one of these machines that have the white colored impellers have been a real pain to remove! one of mine i could not remove at all! the two i have with black impellers removed without a hitch!
