Good move on the speedqueen

Great in-depth video. These machines exist because they are relatively cheap and Home Depot sells them. However they don't last as the old machines do...

Large pulley roller has no groove to keep the belt on terrible 😮

I once had this washer and when it started mis behaving i just decided to not work on it cuz i knew it would be a headache so i found someone selling their samsung front load washer for 200 dollars in my neighborhood and just bought it. Probably one of the best purchases ive ever made. Ive had it a few years now and use it multiple times every day (i live in a house with a quite a few people so theres ALWAYS laundry to be done ugh lol) and ive not on e have had a problem with it. About a year after using this ge washer it started squeaking during the wash cycle during the slow pulse mode of the wash cycle which wasnt really like too annoying but i couldnt ever figure out why it was squeaking, then one day it stopped draining and would shut off during the wash cycle randomly. I was just done with repairing appliances around thehouse cuz i just got done replacing a pump motor on the dish washer for the 2nd time in maybe a year and had to fix the damn oven. I couldnt deal with fixing something else. Im lucky to have found the samaung washer for sale by someone in my area for that price cuz its one if the high end washers from samsung.

This washer is truly a pos. GE ripped a lot of people off with this garbage

This washer sucks. My parents have the same model as I and have the same problems draining and spinning. Will never buy another ge

Trash machine thanks for the insight though !Im having the same oil issue I’m going to clean it up and that’s the farthest I’m going too!

THESE WASHER ARE ALL GARBAGE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENT BADGE AND PRICE . THE WIRLPOOL ARMANA KENMORE AND MORE ARE EVEN WORST IF THATS POSSIBLE BUT THE SAME CONFIGURATION UP IN UNDER NEAT , ALL PLASTIC GARBAGE AND GARBAGE ELECTRONICS . CHINESESE TRASH AND THEY ARE MAKING A KILLING SELLING THIS GARBAGE . HE IS RIGHT ' SPEED QUEEN . THATS IT .

Can someone please tell me how I get the top of the washer detached so I can get to the drum?????

I'll never ever buy another product from them again. Absolutely garbage quality and didn't even last a year despite only using it once a week for just over a year. To anyone else out there never buy from this brand unless you want to buy a new one and spend another grand within a year.

I have same model washer machine for less than 2 years and I have to fix it for 5 times different issues and now don't want to spin. Please don't by any of this washer machine. GE.

Wow !! POS cheap plastic !!!!

Lol that’s great. Fixed it with a new washer. Yeah these new ones are junk, you fix one think and another problem presents itself. I don’t see a way to fix the new transmissions, they have to be replaced. On the older models I was able to refill with oil and reseal it with gasket maker just like you would an older car transmission. The worst problem you can have on a new one is with the motherboard. Only the manufacturer will have the software to program those. Everything these days is heading towards manufacturer only fixes.

I had an old Kenmore that last 20 years. I could work on it etc. Now we have one of these GEs and it’s already not working in less than 2 years. I’m going to see if I can get it running again but I’m not putting much money in it. I’ll go higher end Speed Queen or something better next time.

speed sensor

I hate mine!!!!!!! JUNK!

Half my lights on my washer not working why

Providing you can get the water out of the pipe, you can solder over the pinholes as well.

Great quick fix to buy some time to get a permanent one👌🏼

These types of leaks are like rust on a car. Fix one, and in a short time another.

It’s always something with this machine. It’s the worst machine I’ve ever had!

The missus coming in to clean?

All the new washing machines are trash. All of them. I am seeing all kids of bad reviews for all them.

isnt it sad the junk being made nowdays?

Same problem. Pure bad Machine. Tried Everything. Troubleshooting. Now I know. Went out and bought a Front load.

Still a much better washer than my late model Mayt…. Excuse me. I meant to say, Whirlpool washer. I’ve been through several rotor position sensors on that thing.

That's definitely the easy way get it working is replace it with a better one. I'm having the same dilemma as I made the mistake of trusting the G.E. name which in years past I had very good luck with. Todays appliances are obviously assembled from cheap Chinese materials.

I despise this washer with every fiber of my being. The first time I ever used it (about 5 years ago), the belt slipped off. Fixed that easy enough. The water fill sensor can detect when the water level is high enough to know when not to fill anymore, but the actual filling happens on a timer, so if you have bad water pressure, you end up with too little water. No matter how hard you try to balance your load, it's gonna put the load severely off balance during the wash. And the thing that pisses me off the most is that the lid lock is guaranteed to get wet and malfunction, forcing you to have to wait for it to dry before it will run at all. It's a little after 3 in the morning as I write this, I have work at 6, kids have school, and I've been trying to get the first load washed since right after dinner. I absolutely dread doing laundry because of this stupid thing. Edit: I just want to add that if there is a laundromat in hell, the walls are lined with these stupid machines.

None of this surprises me in the least. I saw a video of a Maytag Commercial washing machine with the transmission disassembled. The outer shell was sheet metal and the internal parts were plastic and nylon. I was a bit surprised as they cost significantly more than the residential grade appliances. You sometimes get what you pay for.

They don’t make them like they used to. When it finally dies, I would choose another brand.

Worst machine for techs

I can not get the new belt on. It seems too small! But... it's the correct part number!

Might help to take a wire brush or something and rough up the surface of the smooth pulley to make it grippier.

What gets me as I picked up one of these for free for a flip project. after seeing this video. And realizing that mine is doing the same thing. I think it's just better to scrap it. What's crazy is I have better luck with the old whirlpool direct drives. It's the older whirlpools and maytags and Kenmores That I have the best chance of fixing and selling.

Same problem almost 3 years old...

My same washer wonbt agitate,I replaced agitator and the agitator base and it didnt wotk. When I went into diagnostics to run the agitator it makes a quiet whining sound then does nothing. IT spins fine. Pleae help?

I can't open the hood once closed

You need to change the transmission seal . Eventually the transmission will run low on fluid and will ruin transmission.

I have a GE washer too just like yours. That's the issue on mine too after cycle is finished cloths still wet. Everything on the washer is ok but notice oil on the belt. So that's the issue right belt slips. Bad design by GE

What a piece of junk😳

The GE washer is the worst one I ever owned. Next time I am getting a Speed Queen. Thanks for the info.

Worst washer I ever had. Already had to have the suspension fixed after less than two years. Still have to make sure the clothes are perfectly arranged for balance and I only use delicates setting to wash with to avoid problems. What a total piece of junk. My old Kenmore washer lasted me for years before I finally had to junk it. Thanks for the video.

If you look up the control boards on the Speed Queen washers, they can cost $400 or more, and that's wholesale. In addition, manufacturers are only required to supply parts for 7 years by law. So, after 7 yrs, I've seen many things become unavailable. So, 7 yrs is the realistic life expectancy on any appliance, unless you're very lucky.

Anyone know how to wire the lock mechanism so it just works and you don't need to buy a new one? Tired or replacing such a terribly made part.

It doesn’t look very old .it should be still under warranty. Unless the warranty expired

You made the right choice getting the speed queen. 👍🏻

AWARNING, any time you have oil dripping you may end up with a fire!

I have the same kind of washing machine. And it doesn't go into spin mode and leaves the clothes wet. The belt is good.

easy fix.... i went to thrift store/charity shop, got a fluffy toy for a buck, glued some velcro on, opposite piece with a hole in over mic hole..... works great !
