I have access to a GE Filter-Flo with mini-basket. 2 speed, 7 cycle. The seller initially said it's in good working condition, except the timer knob has a stripped screw which makes it difficult to turn/set. However, after advising her to look underneath, she discovered it is leaking oil. She didn't say how much, just that there's "some kind of oil." I can get it for $50, or maybe less since she's now aware of the oil situation. Is it worth that as a fixer-upper? I don't have a specific source for a replacement GE tranny, would have to appeal to the masses or something, LOL. I also had a lead on Maytag pair, belonged to an elderly woman who sold her house and moved to a nursing home. Don't know the age or models, but someone else already took them. |

No one has any repair advice on this GE? I don't have much know-how on GE, but I'd like to learn. Is replacing the transmission the only reasonable fix for an oil leak? Or is there a gasket or seal that can be replaced at less cost and effort? A new transmission is $156 (assuming that's the one) at RepairClinic. Are used or rebuilt trannys available from an alternate source?

The seller doesn't have pics, has not told me the model number or age, although I have asked. I can't see the machine until she brings it town, and I don't want her having to haul it over here if it's bogus. All she says is that it is in "good" working condition other than the timer issue, they've been using it, they didn't know it had an oil leak (until I told her to look). I asked, she won't go lower than $50, even with the oil situation. So, I'll tell her pass. |
