The water pump went out on my daughters GE cloths washer yesterday. The bad OEM pump on the washer said 110w as I had a pump off of a junked GE, a little newer washer style, that says 85w, but they will interchange on the bracket and look very similar. Everything else was the same readings on the pumps. I cycled the water in the washer a few times after putting the new pump on and it seemed to pump out Okay. A new pump is $108 as if that is what is needed no problem, but my question is will the pump I put on be okay. Will the transformer output to it be to much?

If the 110W is watts I doubt the 85W motor will do the job well. Not enough power to operated as the washer as designed.0 -
I noticed it did not seem to pump out as fast so you maybe on to something, but the 85w pump came off a washer, same size just maybe 3-4 years newer style. Thanks for the info....penguin1 wrote:Watt - Wikipedia

I think it will work - it will simply pump slower. Unless large loads are the norm I doubt she will notice much difference.
If the free pump craps out or can't keep up - then spend the money for a new pump.0 -
as far as electrica, should work fine. may be a little less capacity but then again it could be a little more efficient and require less current. i doubt you will be able to tell the difference. 0 -
agree with others, if it is allready on and working let it be, may go a week, maybe a year+, nothing to loose.... 0 -
You have already answered the question.

Yes, it's the Barry Obammaer efficient model. Little known that he implemented various changes to save the planet. I got an explanation from a person at Lowes after I bought a new freezer and had it explained to me it must not be kept in a garage but a place where it is between 50-75 degrees or it would not keep up or last long. Well it crapped out in two years. 0 -
85w is older low flow/low pressure pump. Takes a little longer to pump down tub.
100w newer model,high flow/high pressure pump. Will empty the tub,like right now.
Amperage use is: watts divided by volts=amps used.
85w dived by 120 volts = .7 amps on your circuit
110w divided by 120 volts= .9 amps on your circuit
you should be fine.0 -
