Rca washeer

Hey guys, my aunts Rca rebadged Hotpoint filter flow is up for grabs. She has used since around 1990 and been great. This washer has the agitator you take out for delicate wash. It has started shacking very bad on spin. Repair guy came told her couldn't get parts. This thing is heavy with that cinder block under it.
I picked up a Maytag Atlantis set for her (needs snubber ring) so if anyone is near Beckley Wv wants it. It's on her porch but will go to scrap soon.

That was the top of the line RCA branded Hotpoint. I hope someone other than a scrapper takes you up on your generous offer. Thanks for posting.

Maytag Atlantis

Realize that washer/dryer are 20+ years old now and finding parts is just as bad as the RCA/GE.

The RCA probably just needs new snubbers unless the cable broke.

Shaking 1990 GE filter, flow washer

It probably either has a transmission boot that has gotten very hard from age or the transmission itself is flinging oil all over The snubbers.

It’s not likely, the suspension cable broke. The motor would be sitting on the ground. The whole tub and agitator assembly would be several inches lower, never saw a suspension cable break on a GE filter flow machine, fortunately.

The Maytag Atlantis that needs a snubber ring be sure to check that it’s not oily. Sometimes the transmissions would leak oil on those machines and then they really misbehaved sometimes you can clean it all up and it’ll work for a while. Otherwise, you have a major problem on your hand if it’s the transmission leaking.

Thanks combo 52 for advice about transmission oil, its dry just that ring is real dusty and not good shape. I did load today, and it did great no shakes.

I have to do the same job on a Maytag Atlantis. Used to be able to do one in about 45 minutes, but it was a while back.....
