well actually, you wont do any sort of damage if pushing the button to shift speeds while running.....the actual shift wont happen until the machine stops, either by you or the timer...
you may have some clutch issues, but wont know until you open it up, or at least remove the motor from the machine..... it could be the shift actuator misaligned, or the clutch itself is not tightened completely to the motor shaft... keep us posted as to what you find, and we can go from there....

not sure why the link stopped working.....
basically any two speed clutch will work.... I thought the same thing about switching speeds, especially going into LOW, but JohnL demonstrated to me once, and its true, you can select low from high, with no damage....it just wont shift until the motor has a chance to pause first... all I can say is click the link again, possible a time out for some odd reason...

It does not hurt a thing to switch the speed switch back-and-forth all day long with the machine running on the GE filter flow washer, if it breaks when you do this it was not adjusted or working properly in the first place.
GE could’ve never gotten away with building a Washer that could be broken so easily with one flip of a switch. I invite anyone to come to our Museum and flip the switch all they like on one of our vintage GE filter flows while it’s running It will not hurt a thing on a properly operating GE washer. John L. |
