Correction I talked with Jimmy. The coupling is so the motor can move with the inner tub/transmission. It does not have anything to do with the clutch jamming. My bad. Go Americans. Mike | ||

My understanding is that the GE Versatronic washer which was marketed from about 1969 to 1971 was modeled on the 1967 Hotpoint variable speed washer that used a motor governor to give variable speed agitation and spin. It was a bell/whistle that didn't last long as it appealed more to people like us than to actual customers who did laundry.

and you have to admit...
that GE clutch gives the old GE washers some awesome sounds!!! I haven't had a chance to work on mine yet but I have the 3-speed GE washer from 1969. I'm hoping the solenoid is the only problem since I get normal and medium speeds but no slow wash or spin. Either way I love that machine. It was rode hard and literally put away wet outside for a long time in Seattle. It was a disaster when I got it but, once we plugged it, ran like a champ right from the start. Not very many machines can sit outside unused for that long and afer that much abuse and just fire up like that. Definitely was some very fine engineering involved there. Jon | ||
