My filter-flo today did something strange, it loaded more water than usual for the wash, we had an electrical owerpower and a voltage drop in our neighborhood just when it was filling with water, this should have caused washer to overfill.....it filled upper to the starting line of the ramps of the activator agitator...
But my question is that, I noticed of it after 10 minutes because my washer started to do a "rubber slipping" noise, no that loud though.... Maybe mine is just paranoia, but I'm afraid that a little (very soapy) water entered in the upper shaft seal and in the transmission, and that noise was the shaft or even the pulley that was riding on a non lubricated seal due to soapy water....maybe the water reached the bottom and the pulley also..... If so has happened I think or at least hope that it will no damage the transmission that much being just a little amount and probably dropped to the bottom of the tranny...... Do you think that if this has happened may have damaged the tranny and the seals? I do not want even think about replace the tranny....... Or anyone know if it could be another sound? Belt have been replaced and pump connector was in good condition and tighten. I'm afraid on having to replace the seal again as this has already happened and took me alot of time and efforts..... Does someone know what other sound could have been this? Thanks This post was last edited 12/08/2011 at 18:53 | ||

My filterflo is an american machine!!! even if it is Made in Canada though!
But have the same parts and things of a one built in Louisville. Yes I figured it out just today that water cannot reach the seal due to air being inside, I thought it had an air escaping somewhere, thank you for explaining me anyway. Do not really know what that sound was though, it sounded similar to a slipping belt, maybe was again the belt that went, that 5$ belt I got on eBay, it was not an original part so may be this. But my problem is another now...oil in the tub.... please read my other thread:http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?37800 Thank you so much!

The infamous GE oil leaks
Alrady happened to me the lower seal failure! Just say a mess! From what I've understand is sure that oil leaks with FilterFlos sooner or later will occur to everyone.....
Fortunately with the kind help and support of members, and especially Ed F. that sent an oil seal to me and followed me step by step in this thing we managed to fix it..... Now is leaking from the upper shaft seal though, Damn! This time maybe would be best to replace the whole tranny as it might be that is the tub tranny seal that went also, letting water entering inside and pushing oil up, would be great if anyone could help me even this time or sell&ship an extra tranny over here in Italy to me,I would pay everything with paypal! I'm changing washer now but would like to keep my GE as it is a good washer, and would be a pity send it to the scrapper just for this damn tranny's seals and oil leaks, and also, these kind of washer here cost ALOT to buy new! So.....I'd like to give her another surgery and keep her alive..... | ||
