It's probably one of GE's worst machines. |

It is too bad if that is the case especially since their old Filter Flo (pre '96) washers were well built machines that usually gave long service. What are the problem areas for the Hydrowave design? |

GE TL washers since they went to the plastic tubs [ and now some have SS tubs ] Have had very poor durability in heavy use situations. Major weak parts of models with transmissions, transmission, main tub seal, motor clutch, brake assembly [ requires transmission replacement ].
Newer models without transmissions, Tub bearing and seals, Electronic motor, and tub assemblies that fly apart and or brake loose from aluminum mountain plate.
Both of these washer designs are nearly impossible to do major tear downs to after just a few years due to corrosion of the basket mounting nut and related parts, so they just get junked.
The new WP built belt drive washers are a much more durable design and like the DD machines will be much easier to dissemble and repair. |

> Are you referring to the black and red light switches Oh, I thought that's what those were for, one being motor reset. |
