You can dye in a non-HE washer like this v-axxis GE? |

Well, as one knows nothing ever goes smoothly. Grandma closed down the laundry room for the tenants about 5 or 6 years ago and they go to the Laundramat across the street now. Well Grandma would still use the Filter-Flo from time to time for various tasks.
Today I decided I would use it to dye my scrubs in, I turned the water on, selected my water temp and stuck a screwdriver in the lid switch, The machine filled up properly and did not present any noticeable leaks, I added my salt and RIT dye to the water and later added my scrubs to be dyed.
That is where the progress came to a hault, once the machine finished filling it failed to agitate, the motor hums and after a few minutes of attempting to free the agitator it tripped the breaker. Unfortunatley after sitting dormant for nearly 2 years the motor is frozen, so I now have a washer full of blue water.
I'm wanting to think there is some hope of freeing the motor up again so I can continue using it, but I dont know what to do and dont want to get in over my head |

You got a 220 volt outlet nearby? Just kiddin. I was thinking of defibing the motor like restarting a heart when it stops. I wonder if the belt has rusted to either the pulley on the motor or the tranny. Two years is a long time to sit without moving. |
