Is it time to replace my 40-year-old GE Filter-Flo washer? |

If it's now your parents' machine, better do what the parents want. Get them a machine close to it that they'd likely be comfortable with, like the Speed Queen TC5 or Maytag Commercial. This is an unpopular opinion here but a basic Whirlpool top loader with the dual action agitator wouldn't be a bad choice either. They're cheap, and they wash well. The tradeoff of that though is that they aren't known to last long. I have one myself though and like it just fine.

Probably time to replace
It’s probably time for a new washer. I would agree With Ryne Suggestion, especially if your parents are still doing their own laundry at nearly 100 years of age.
Normally, I would only recommend the front loading washer for a purchase today because of better performance efficiency. If somebody else is doing their laundry for them, that might be the better way to go John. | ||
