It's "normal" what it is doing. Well, that "soak" designation was pure marketing crap. Essentially, one could fill the washer up at that point and have it agitate for a couple of minutes, then push the timer knob in and let it soak for however long ya wanted. Then pull out timer knob and let it complete the cycle and then start for the regular wash.

Soak Cycle I agree. It will agitate at slow for 45 seconds then ramp up to fast for 15 seconds, then off to soak for 2 min then repeats then goes into drain spin. | ||

Clutch!
I have had recent experience with GE 2 speed clutches. Yes, it is normal for it to start slow and then kick up to normal once the clutch parts get up to speed. Read the 1958 GE Filter Flo repair manual Robert scanned, it describes why and how this works. I can't quite grasp it, but it's pretty reliable. GE used the same 2-speed clutch for all the Filter Flos and even some before that. Also, your washer should not make any grinding noises. If it does, the bearing for the outer clutch drum (and the shaft extension) are likely worn. Changing the GE clutch isn't rocket science, but you may need help removing the pin (I sure did). Happy washing, Dave PS. The pump is located on top of the clutch and motor. If the pump leaks, it soaks the clutch and motor, leading to a likely bearing issue in the clutch. The motors are usually just fine. | ||
