  • This is to demo how well those mini baskets actually worked. You could put a couple of pieces in there and they wash just like they would in the regular machine, amazing.
    Although this Washer does not have an actual minibasket selection, I use the small water level and made it work .

    These GE washers were the very best washers ever made. So incredibly durable, did an excellent job washing. I hate that they ever discontinued manufacturing them.

    I think the machines that had minibaskets were larger. Yours doesnt have it. The mini setting filled the main tub only about an inch. The circulation pump filled the basket. My parents machine had this. I think it was ment for hand washing and only a few pieces. The small setting filled the main tub about a third. I remember when using the mini basket, it only took about a tablesloon of detergent to make a RABBID mess!😂

      I remember when my mom used the small setting with the mini basket on normal speed, you could hear the water turbulence. When the machine was rinsing, I thought it was off-balance. It was with the ramped activator.

      SEARS AND WHIRLPOOL WASHERS top loading would go into suds-lock mode in the first spin with all those suds. After the rinse though everything would be back to normal and complete the cycle. It would be best though to set cycle for another deep rinse using a fabric softener.

      NORGE WASHERS AND MONTGOMERY WARDS WASHERS built by NORGE would have suds overflow outside as well as inside the machine's cabinet and would overflow on the mechanisms like the transmission and possibly the motor.

    i have rebuilt thousands of those. watch it dont strip out the agitator spline. its aluminum on steel. the corkscrew design put lots of strain on it. but i remember the cleaning rating was very high on the minibasket. i miss working on those.. many times found gold chains around the boot seal 👍 as long as the tranny dont leak grease on the floor.. and it has the "non asbestos clutch pads" its i good machine. i miss working on them.. just wish i made the money.. i went broke & had to stop. oh WAIT 2 minutes before changing to a slow speed for 2 speed washers.. the clutch internals are still spinning after the motor stops it will rip off the speed control arm & no more slow speed. oh.. if it goes out of balance starts banging redistribute the load the inner drum will cut thru the outer drum.. anyways some helpful info 👍

      Thanks so much. I always knew that you could not change speeds on these machines.. unless it was completely stopped. You can go from slow speed to fast speed, but you can't go from fast speed to slow speed. That inner tub seems like it's a beast thick. I never leave my machines unattended. It took me a while to reacquire them, so I don't want them to get damaged.
      Thanks for the advice

I'd like to hear the machine on a regular cycle on small load with the mini basket and filter pan, with the machine on normal speed and regular cycle with the lid shut. and of course with a load that would be suitable for this. It would bring back so many memories. That's what my mom did one time.

    You also can't use high sudsing detergents in WHIRLPOOL and SEARS TOP LOADERS due to suds-locks. For years Whirlpool and Sears made their own low sudsing detergents and would pack Free Samples into their washing machines. Especially the washers made in the 1950s and 1960s. I think also that DASH AND ALL were especially meant for these machines and all the front loading washers.
