Love those washers 240lbs. of Washing Machine, That's when General Electric made real machines....Their new machines weight half of that if your lucky. Heavy metal vs. plastic...I'll take the machine made out of metal anyday. | ||

Online Manual
Well I went to the GE website to see if they had this manual. Well, there apparently is another WWA 8350 or 8250 model that's one of those from the 1980s where they replaced speed toggle switch with two or 3 push buttons and moveed the water temp to the center of the console with one of those tiny knbs next to the water level. Peter, this machine is during the 1970s when 30 minute enzyme soak cycles were "the in thing". I believe the soak cycle was 30 minutes. Of interesting note, I looked up the matching dryers, and they appear to have the correct corresponding manuals.

UH-OH
You're right Harry, I forgot and I am sorry, but I have get my 90 minutes of Rx exercize right now, so I promise I will do it by tomorrow. Pete's was easy to do during the during the s. shower and shave. Yours is harder, but I 'm just as eager to compare the 4 vane versus the ramp. Remember I do not have an 8 vane.

Done and I'm stuffing myself with humble pie. What crazy
would ever employ a weak agitator? The 4 vane performs just fine, thank you very much. At Medium water level, Vane: the large beach towel sloshed back and forth forcefully Ramp: round and round, going under slightly At Large water level Vane: full turnover, efficient Ramp: full turnover, dramatic deep rumble of water At Extra-Large with three beach towels and one thick heavy flannel top sheet, Vane: the loaded spent a few seconds at the top where the vanes extend upward higher than the water level, but the turnover was strong and efficient Ramp: grabs the clothes, roll and dip, no time on top, right under. The ramps, however, are even with the water level, not above it, no deep rumble. At normal water levels the ramp is much more fun to watch and the noises are persuasive, intriguing, convincing and powerful; BUT, the vane's sloshing and visibility at extra-large is a also convincing and dramatic, and for me a big surprise. With the vane, the towels and the sheet went a little deeper into the tub during a few strokes. There was open water for a few seconds in a few spots of the tub during each turnover cycle, meaning I could have added more laundry, but alas, none handy. I'll have more for the movie, and we'll let our collective eye make the final judgment. But for now..... Verdict: a clean draw....a tie. Now let me finish my humble pie | ||

That's AWESOME... mikey, enjoy your the rest of your humble pie. Thanks for the excellent "play-by-play" and descriptive comparison review. Can't wait for the movie. Harry | ||

Gansky, Sudsy, and Mickey. Wow.......Now....
What a party that would be. We'd have to leave all the rubber out though, lest Uncle Ernie from the Who's rock opera,"Tommy" show up with his scary fiddle. The door is always open even though I may be hiding under the bed--just pull me out. Harry, glad I made you happy, and the pie was delicious. It was so much fun to watch the water shoot back in around the rim the way it does at high water levels during spin. | ||
