I feel your pain-I’ve been there, too. It’s so frustrating when an appliance doesn’t live up to expectations, especially when you count on it daily. I hope your new Speed Queen exceeds all your expectations. Sometimes, letting off some steam (even with deer slugs) feels like the only way to move on. Thanks for sharing, and here’s to better appliances in the future!

Glad to hear you're loving your Speed Queen! It's definitely built to last. Thanks for the feedback-

Thanks for your comment and for watching the video! It is common for manufacturers to place the diagnostic sheet inside the back panel of a washing machine. Often, you’ll find it taped to the inside wall or tucked away in a protective plastic sleeve. If you need to access it, tilting the machine and looking underneath with a flashlight is a good approach-but I can’t stress enough how important safety is during this process. Before attempting anything, make sure to unplug the machine and turn off the water supply to avoid electrical shocks or leaks. If you’re not comfortable tipping the machine on your own, I recommend getting someone to assist you or calling a professional. Stay safe, and I hope you find the diagnostic sheet helpful!

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I agree.

Oil on the belt is definitely a sign of a leaking transmission seal, and you're right-it’s something that needs immediate attention to avoid further damage or failure. Thanks for pointing that out. Check Out Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

A bad transmission can be tricky to diagnose. It really depends on the symptoms and the specifics of the issue-sometimes it's worth repairing, and other times replacing it might be the better option. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Check Out Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

I completely understand your frustration. It’s so disheartening when something you’ve invested in doesn’t work as it should. Many others have shared similar experiences, and it’s clear this is a widespread issue. If enough people come together with their stories, it might encourage change. I hope GE is paying attention to how many customers are feeling let down.

We’re all about supporting each other here, share the best tips and experiences.

With all my experience repairing machines, I can usually fix just about anything, but these machines were beyond hope. The issue is, they came out of the factory with poor engineering. While I believe the engineers are capable, the real problem is the pressure to keep costs down. It’s a shame because it affects the overall quality and performance.

Wow, I was honestly shocked when I saw the large pulley with no groove-just smooth! It’s crazy because it should have one to ensure proper function. But with these newer, cheaper models, they cut corners like that. I think the system would work fine if the transmission wasn’t leaking so much, though. Thanks for sharing, really eye-opening!

It’s great you found a good deal on a replacement. Good luck with the new washer.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a tough time with it. Old GE was good, now beautiful on the outside, junk on the inside. It seems like many brands prioritize style over durability these days. It’s tough when you invest in something that doesn’t perform well.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's frustrating when new appliances are junk.

It was a disappointing machine for me too. Check Out Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html Thank You for watching, and comment on my video

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally understand the frustration with appliances that don’t seem to hold up as they should. It’s true that many brands are manufactured by the same companies, often using similar parts, which can affect quality. Speed Queen definitely has a strong reputation for durability and simplicity compared to a lot of modern machines. Hopefully, manufacturers start listening to feedback. It seems most appliances are beautiful on the outside, but junk on the inside.

Thanks for your question! To detach the top of the washer and get access to the drum, you'll usually need to remove the screws or clips holding the top panel in place. Many models have screws located at the back or inside the lid area, or there may be clips you can release with a putty knife. Once those are undone, you can lift the top to get to the drum. Be sure to unplug the washer before starting for safety! Hope this helps. Check Out Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

I found that out the hard way. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on my video

That GE washing machine has been a disappointment. Despite my best efforts, I reluctantly came to the conclusion that the fundamental flaws in the machine's design were beyond repair. Thank You for watching, and comment on my video. Take a look at my final video. ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

Yea absolutely garbage brand

Before I bought the new speed queen I saw an old Whirlpool the gentleman we're selling it used, and it looked very good but it was 35 years old I so I asked my wife if she wants a 35 year old washing machine or a new speed queen of course she wanted the new one so I hope this machine holds up as good as my old GE but at least this new speed queen is much heavier then the new GE washing machine. Speed queen has a transmission you can take it apart. I don't know about the electronics. So if this isn't gonna work very well I'm just gonna buy an old Whirlpool 35 years old I can fix that. So far the new speed queen is working excellent. Thank You for watching, and comment on my video.

I bought a new GE washing machine recently. It has been a disappointment. The transmission was leaking after a year. Also electric motor is insufficient power. My old GE washer was great, we had it more 20 years. So I bought a new speed queen it is much heavier then the new GE washing machine. Speed queen has a transmission you can take it apart. I can fix that. I don't know about the electronics. So far the new speed queen is working excellent.

Go into Diagnostics mode so you unplug the machine for about a minute wait a minute plug it back in then get your LEDs should work. Check Out Video #1 ua-cam.com/video/No5MN97-9Ac/v-deo.html

I appreciate your time and comment, providing another way.

I appreciate your interest and comment.

I should have reinforced that it is only temporary. This quick fix gives time to consider a permanent solution. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

That machine was hopeless. Check Out Video #2 ua-cam.com/video/ZY26s9TjQTo/v-deo.html Final Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

It looks rather messy after the third shot, because I forgot to plug up the overflow with my fingers so it came out of the overflow and quite messy. If you want to look at again you'll see the first and second shots aren't too bad. Nevertheless I like doing this and it's, makes less mess to take the plumbing apart. Yes I clean up after myself, but I'm not perfect. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to watch and comment on my video.

I also tried everything. I spent to much time on that GE I hope your front load works well.

FRONT LOAD IS STILL JUNK MADE BY THE SAME CROWD .

​@@todddowney45 I'm in the same boat. Any recommendations on what to buy?

Thank you for taking the time to leaving a comment. I am glad your machine is working well. You could look at my other videos. #2 ua-cam.com/video/ZY26s9TjQTo/v-deo.html #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html.

I would have preferred to repair this GE washing machine but unfortunately the transmission was poorly made, that's why the oil was leaking after a year and a half. The motor is much too small because there was beautiful huge stainless steel tub on, it was very impressive, but with such a small motor it wasn't being turned properly so because of these two reasons I just couldn't repair it so unfortunately. I was forced to junk it and I do feel disappointed by the quality of General Electric and I think the engineers from General Electric are fine but I think it's the advertising and the financial problems because the people buy these machines don't really understand they're not made together very well.

@@downtoearthproblems sadly the cheap appliances have become like cheap radios & TVs a few years back. They've become disposable throwaways. At todays service, labor & parts prices it doesn't take much to add up to the original price paid for a machine that was less than $500.00 .My GE is also deafening loud in the spin cycle. It would be tolerable in a separate laundry room, basement or porch, however mine is right off the kitchen.

I also despise this GE washer. I worked on it over 6 Months. Take a look at my #3 video. ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

I agree!!! Ours was bought 8/2020 and I hate it!!! Can't even wash a queen size blanket or more than 3 bath towels to throw it off!! JUNK!!

😂😂😂 you are telling the truth.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN - I purchased mine last February and it stopped spinning and draining or even going through a full cycle two weeks ago & I didn’t take out warranty🤦🏾‍♀️ and i actually had it replaced a week after the original purchase because it’s so loud and rough

No lie, worst I mean absolutely the worst Washing Machine everrrrr

That new GE washer was hopeless. So far the new Speed Queen washer is working excellent.

@@downtoearthproblems I don’t doubt that for a minute. It looked like it was made to be disposable. I’m very apprehensive about the new appliances because the quality just isn’t there. Speed Queen is a very well built machine. You ought to get years of use and abuse out of it.

The new machines look great on the outside, but cheap inside. Check Out Video #2 ua-cam.com/video/ZY26s9TjQTo/v-deo.html Final Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html

The belt should go on rather easily as you are turning the pulleys, so possibly you have the wrong belt for the machine. But if it's the correct part number. I will try it again put it on the small pulley first and make sure the grooves are coming in correctly and then force it over the smooth big pulley.

The pulleys have to be dry and clean, a wire brush would help it, but it's best to put a new belt on at the same time because oil gets soaked into the belt, but the real problem is oil coming out of the transmission.

The hood itself can get jammed. This could happen for a number of reasons, the most common of them being the rusting or aging of the lock of the hood.

@downtoearthproblems should I force a screwdriver to push it to the side or see if I can get access to the bolts. It's an 02 T&C lx. I ordered a cable incase it's broken. Thx for response.

I would change the transmission seal, but the transmission is welded together. So I would have to replace the total transmission ! You can not take it apart. Check Out Video #1 ua-cam.com/video/No5MN97-9Ac/v-deo.html Check Out Video #3 ua-cam.com/video/BHWtbLZuVr0/v-deo.html
