I remember a while back looking over a new GE washer mechanism design very similar to WP VMW-right down to tub mounted vertical axis drain pump...Anybody have one of these washers or know how they have stood up so far ? | ||

A neighbor has a more modern GE set that replaced the same thing from a few years ago and all I can say is that the washer is better than the dryer as the dryer already developed squeaks as did the previous. The washer has the nosiest pump after some time. The pumps don't seem to wear well with use.
GE has always seemed to cut corners on appliances. FF washers don't seem to be that bad for it but I do recall someone saying that when they were more common, transmission replacements were a regular occurrence. GE AA5 radios from the late '50s and early '60s had thin brittle circuit boards that often cracked with age. Anyone who had a GE Television didn't have it for long by comparison to Zenith, RCA, Sylvania, Magnavox or even Sears Silvertone. Just try finding A GE console set from the '60s or '70s and you will quickly find out how few survived. The Porta-Color wasn't bad for what it was though. | ||
