We've discussed that little GE washer several times previously, lots of information in the archives.
These are rebadged Asian imports for GE made by Hitachi. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... | ||

They have a Boy Scout's knot tying abilities and rinsing ability that makes dermatologists wealthy. | ||

A little more... This is my machine. Model WWP1150VAJWH The only thing not original is the pump. Mine developed a leak at the motor shaft seal. I replaced it with a pump that I found for a Haier washer that was almost an exact fit. Had to drill one new hole to mount it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO wiskybill's LINK | ||

Pure awsome!
Thank you- exactly what I was looking for.
I have to hand it to Hitchi- right here we see the future of modern vertical access washers created some 40 years ago. Ingenious design- makes me wonder why it did not catch on in the US. That filter is also a good idea- seen a ton of world washer where a hair pin falls in and stalls the pump. BTW- is that the tech sheet above the pump to the left? | ||

Would pics of the knob and tub be to much lol?
I will admit that I have never seen one in person, but these critters have me in love all over again. I am fascinated with them atm. Up until 2010 I had a Kenmore world washers and I have to say that perhaps that was on of the best washers I have ever owned. It cleaned supper well, fitted a lot for its size, rarely suds locked and rinsed well despite not having any spray rinses. Was really gentle on the Handwash cycle as well. From everything I am researching, it looks like most washers outside of the Us have used the VMW concept for some time. | ||

I had a Hitachi with a full size agi that was from this era of Japanese produced machines. It certainly liked to knot things up despite the agitator. As you will see the agitation was quite fast. It wasn’t the best washer I’ve used but interesting none the less.
I currently have a twin tub by Hitachi that has an impeller which i find works very well and doesn’t knot as bad as other impeller machines I’ve used. Perhaps it is because the impeller is slightly offset and reverses it’s action regularly. These twin tubs were once a best seller in Australia alongside Hoover so they must have got something right :-) Matt | ||

GEs Hitachi Compact washers
These were fun, we worked on hundreds of them over the years, but they certainly were not great performers, They were water hogs, they were very hard on clothing, and they did not clean evenly and rinsing was also poor, about the only good things about them was pretty decent reliably, good spinning and vibration control with the strut suspension.
