But who made the direct drive motors for Whirlpool? Why did some have a droning F tone during full speed agitation while others didn't? CLICK HERE TO GO TO GELaundry4ever's LINK |

Did GE ever build them? I could be wrong but I thought I heard somewhere that GE built them. How much torque did these motors produce? |

GE was often found in 1977 and earlier BDs-never seen Delco or Westinghouse,but there may have been some.~ 1960 and earlier,GM Packard motors were used. |

Why did Whirlpool stick with the 100 degree arc of agitation? What was their reasoning in their dd units? |
