Hi all across the big pond!

I've been lucky enough to aquire a GE Filter Flo, approx twenty years old I think. I had to replace the pump also I ordered a clutch which I havn't got around to yet, works ok but clutch bearing a bit noisy. I now have a slight prob with the timer knob, the teeth on the outer knob have broken, timer has always beeb a little tight to turn sometimes jamming. Can anyone help with what I have to order. The machine says made in Canada prob for export as it runs on 240V. Model WWA8852RBMWW. I used a company in Canada called AP Wagner for parts before spoke to a guy in Ottawa who was most helpfull as mod wasn't listed. If anyone can help I would be most grateful also some advice on changing the clutch, it looks straight forward but some tips would be usefull.

Kind Regards,

Jamie.

had a timer that was tough to turn also....spray the center post with some lubricant (WD40) both sides of the timer...wipe off excess...turn a few revolutions and should free it up...if this model is like ours, should not be hard to get another knob, or maybe one of the other members may have a few spare lying around to send you...put up a pic to show what it looks like.

Clutch.

There is a relay that must be replaced when you replace a clutch or else you will burn out the motor. I don't know why and I don't know which relay, but it is absolutely essential!

I stayed in a B&B near Folkstone that had one of these in 1997...boy was I ill with the flu....and they looked after me brilliantly. They even did some washing for me which is how I know what they were using.

They had had a succession of Hoovers and Hotpoints and they were not coping with the constant washing of sheets and towels so went 'industrial' - their words.

moter start relay

The clutch has nothing to do with the motor start relay. If the motor windings are shorted and you are replacing the motor you should replace the relay.

Yeah, I've never replaced the relay, when I changed a clutch.

Nice washer!

Accesories and Parts!!!

Hi. Take a look at this link using WWA8887M model. It contains almost everything you need for your model. This if for the knob in silver color:
www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail...

This is for the mini basket:
www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail...

To solve the problem in your timer, what I did, cause I had the exact same problem with my EASY, take the timer apart, locate a little hole under ir and with your finger introduce a little amount of mechanical high temperature grease and turn the knob round and round several times until all the plastic gear inside gets the grease. Youīll have a like knew timer. What I also did, I opened the whole timer and took away the timer switch bank and sand just a little every terminal so it gets to do a good contact between them, since itīs an old machine some terminals get flamed with normal use and sometimes they donīt have very good contact, adn before closing it I spred the grease inside the last gear in its internal face and left a little ammount inside so it can always run smoothly. If you need any more details of how to do this I could send a little video to you.

I hope this informaction works.

BTW I will post several pictures and short videos of my EASY on the last part of the washing phase with and without filter flo, a little spin, and the start of the rinsing cycle doing a towel load in medium water level.
