I love Filter-Flo washers. When I was a kid, a neighbor had one and, compared to our 1960 Model 80 Kenmore, the agitation seemed really fast and exciting. Glad you have it up-and-running and have sourced a timer for it. I'm always humbled by everyone's ability to keep these cool, classy older machines running. By the way, 'harvest gold' (or whatever GE called it) is a great color for your machine. Very handsome. Nice ramped activator, as well. |

If you replace the clutch (that pin is a pain in the rear, isn't it?) BE SURE TO REPLACE THE RELAY!!! I don't recall which one, but DO IT or it will burn out the motor. I learned the hard way and am now looking for a motor for my FF. I replaced a really REALLY bad clutch on mine and it ran like a Swiss watch for 2 weeks then the motor died. I have finally found my camera and I will take pics of the bad clutch when I get home from visiting Ohio. I still don't understand how an old fully functional relay can burn out the motor, would someone please explain this? Enjoy the best lint filtering ever devised, Dave |
