Same 😢

Cuz yours is a he One his is the older school one like mine that had the real cleaning action

Although GE made the chug chugs all the way up until 2009 or 2010.

Also in 7:47 there might’ve been a lid switch or balancing issue. Probably something with the lid switch as these don’t spin three speeds in the first spin.

Actually I don’t think these washers had balance sensors. Also there was a very similar model number of this washer which was the WBSR3140DWW. Basically the exact same washer with a very slightly different control panel. The only difference is that the WBSR3140DWW doesn’t have the heavy duty thing on the control panel.

And that model number is a bit more basic because it has less load size options.

Its not a unbalance sensor

13 years is pretty short for the older washers.

Mine was a 2005 model and developed the same leak by 2021. I replaced it with a 1998 Kenmore 80 series. That machine is a tank. I still think about the old GE from time to time.

My father had a '95 model year Kenmore 80 series washer, made by Whirlpool, it was a beast but the frame holding things together succumbed to rust and broke apart around 2016 from a damp basement environment.😅

These older GEs also had turnover and they cleaned the clothes properly. Unlike new washers that can leave dry spots on the clothing. The dry spots aren’t because of the high speed spin, it’s because they simply aren’t getting clean.

@@homeguestunton Yeah if the manufacturer claims it's because of the spin then that's BS. if they were cleaned they have to be evenly damp, it would only start to get dry spots if it spun for an hour.

@@DylBuilder1 Also why do new washers have auto sensing and deep fill instead of a load size?. It’s probably some stupid law so that consumers can’t use too much water for a small load. Then why does deep fill exist?. A lot of times the deep fill button actually fills the washer all the way up to the top of the tub regardless of the auto sensing/load size. Deep fill often uses more water than an extra large load of an old washing machine. They also make the tubs much bigger. Then how is that more efficient?. I’m not hating on HE washers but some of the features just don’t make sense to me. The older HE washers typically did not have a deep fill option and those were probably a bit better of a design. There are still Speed Queen, GE, and Samsung washers that have load size options on it tho. Some may also have auto sensing options on them as well but you can simply not use them.

@@homeguestunton ​ Those machines are usually the Amana and conservator $399 machines, so they are very stripped down on options. manufacturers CAN make a classic machine (take Maytag MVWP585GW for example, it has a 4 way water level switch!) but I believe auto sensing is required on machines that aren't "commercial grade". So they put Deep water wash to bypass the regulation, but still has auto sensing. Keep in mind that the regulations only apply to the Normal or Regular wash cycles, not special cycles like heavy duty, delicate, causal, ETC.

These new GE's are a whirlpool copycat of the vmw.

@@jeromedavis8575 Not really. They don’t really look like Whirlpools. You can tell that it’s a GE/HotPoint by looking at the design.

@@homeguestunton I think the hotpoints are also made by GE.

@@jeromedavis8575 That’s why I said GE/HotPoint.

The only GE machine that Whirlpool made was the Laundry Center.

I ended up getting the TC5. I sometimes miss my old washer, but absolutely love the Speed Queen.

Let’s all thank the lord that you didn’t get a front loader.

The GE filter flos were nothing compared to the Lady Kenmores. We always had top loading Kenmores.

Yeah, I agree. The mid to late 90's is when GE started making this generation. This machine is cheap compared to the filter-flo, but it is far better than the crap they make today. Funny how each generation just keeps getting worse.

@@weird_and_pointless_videos7802 AGREED!

But at least, thoses washers still have better durability and wash action than the Hydrowave or their current High Effiency junk that they makes today.

And the wash action of theses old-school plastic tub GEs are comparable to a Whirlpool or a Kenmore Direct Drive.

You are absolutely correct

I completely agree.

Yep these ran from late 95 to 06 or 07 then the hydro waves came out and ran up until 2017 then the newer belt drive design came out and still is out today. In my opinion the worst ge was the hydro waves both agitator and infuser models I used to own one and it was junk

@@brandonsvlog8533 Actually this design ran up from late 1995 to 2009 or 2010, not 2006 or 2007. And the HydroWave was discontinued in 2016 I believe, not 2017. Yes I do agree that the HydroWave was the worst GE washer ever made. There are definitely some 2009 GE washers of this style tho. Although the 09 models had the rinse and soak option which was similar to a rinse cycle on an HE machine but not quite, basically filled, agitated for a very short time, filled again, and then drained and spinned. The rinse and soak option was also on some HydroWave washers. But these got discontinued in 2010 or late 2009 tho. The Whirlpool direct drive was made all the way up until 2011 tho. Also I believe the HydroWave was introduced in 2007 but it was mainly used in higher end models for a bit. They didn’t start making really basic HydroWave washers until 2009 or 2010.

I like it how it starts, stops, starts, stops, and then continues with the spin. I think it is really cool!

Mine would start on slow spin, then go to fast spin a minute later when you had the speed dial set to normal/fast. It will slow the agitation during the wash cycle when on normal/fast as well.

@@Ififitzisitz That’s because of the lid switch. Older GE washers should not stop the spin.

@coolrobuxgaming so it's a safety thing?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤EXTREMELY EXCELLENT WASHING ACTION!! EXCELLENT BECAUSE EVERYTHING STAYS UNDER THE WATER!!!!

Gosh you missed something

@@About_Weatherwhat

What did I miss?

We have the same name bro

@@jeromejackson5028 That is as far as first name is concerned.

@@jeromedavis8575 it's a JEROME thing isn't it?

@@jeromejackson5028 Sure it is!

Why do you always have such specific requests for cycles man?

It always does it (more noticeable with slower agitation). When the tub is empty, I can move the tub slightly with my hands and it just seems like the tub is loose (and makes that same metalic noise). More of an annoyance than anything.

@@weird_and_pointless_videos7802 The tub shouldn’t easily move when the washer is not in use. Check out some of my videos to compare and contrast. If you do have in a legitimate issue it will be covered under your five year warranty

They make lots of noise when they are new

Probably a transmission failure. You can replace the transmission plus the transmission on these older washers is cheaper than the transmission on the newer washers I believe.

Mine still runs after almost 12

Same thing happened to mine after 15 years but oil was getting into the clothes.

Sorry to hear this one broke, but you definitely are replacing it with one of the best.

The fact that you were able to get almost 20 years out of that washer is a blessing.

@@jamesorsby7553 Strangely enough, I haven't been able to replicate the burning smell since that day. I think the motor has been getting hot for a while (I'm not sure how warm these are supposed to get, but depending on the load size, the outer cabinet gets quite warm now right where the motor is). Regardless, I'm still getting the SQ TC5 (ordered it a couple weeks ago, should be getting it within the next 2 or 3 weeks). I figured by the time our washer really does decide to completely bite the dust, the TC5 won't be available any longer and I'd have to settle with some POS :).

Could have bought a used motor or find a scrap ge to pull the motor off of

@@ScantPear it actually turned out to be the pump that was going bad. I thought about replacing it and it would have been a cheap fix, but by the time I would have eventually needed a new washer, the Speed Queen TC5 probably wouldn't have been available anymore.
