well Malcolm, unfortunately these would be the ones with the plastic leak prone trannies.....
two things to know if there already is an issue.....look underneath to see signs of oil that was splattered around...or better yet, check out the back fiber board panel, if there is an oil stain at the bottom, the seal is leaking.... but not that it can't be repaired or replaced.....Ithink you can find trannies on ebay for around 75.00.... if there is an oil leak, this is a good bargaining tool for a lowered price! leak prone Yes, but not all of them did this....yo may find agood one out of the batch.... | ||

Last Real GE FFs GE changed to a plastic housing on its transmissions back in the 70s and I never saw any MORE [ all GE FFs leak eventually, LOL ] oil leaks on the plastic housing transmissions, these units were not sealed and they still always had metal bottoms where the lower seal and bearings are installed.
We restored this exact washer in white to save at the museum and it is a cool machine, but I certainly would not give up a newer SQ for this machine if you value getting your laundry done for the next few years or more without various repairs having to be performed.
The matching GE dryer has little to recommend it, these dryers do not hold up well and you can even see in the picture the scorched rear of the drum, I am not a fan of any dryer that puts the heater directly behind the drum. Both GE and Frigidaire have FINALLY brought out dryers where heaters have been relocated a safer distance from your clothing. | ||
