Great Find
Congratulations! Another 1-18 saved. Hopefully the squeak is a minor issue. Start by cleaning the roller mating surfaces with lighter fluid. The belts on these machines usually are a little loose but that seems normal. Observe it in operation to see if it's slipping at all before tightening. Best of luck. Patrick | ||

Ahhhh HA! The Problem is discovered looks like the center part of this pulley is mounted in rubber Why? I don't know because everyone of these machines I've heard running is noisy.

Before and After! The local appliance repair shop here actually specializes in GE parts The Man and Woman who own the place have owned this business for 40 years! When I told her what I was looking for she replied "Who the Hell would want one of those" LOL

Spray Rinse This is cool too! The only thing is Im a little concerned about the speed while its spinning..doesnt seem quite fast enough although there are no unusual noises or anything

spin speed
Tim- I'm thinking you had the fabric selector on the Permanent Press setting which would probably give you the slow spin speed. Try running it with the selector on Regular / Colorfast or Non-Colorfast and see if the speed is faster. Also check the inlet screens on your water connections in the back to make sure they aren't plugged. This will improve your Jet Circle Spray Fill unless you just have low water pressure Beautiful machine. Enjoy! Patrick | ||
