I'm trying to determine the capacity of the GLTF1240AS0 washer - I am replacing and DO NOT want to go smaller. Can you help???

Approximately 3.2 cu ft

no they just ware out and burn out

yes it will remove there is a spring clip that holds it to the front panel. then it is usually easier to remove the counter weights to reinstall the boot.

Overall home/domestic washers have similar capacities:

Front loaders: between 15 and 20 pounds capacity.
Top loaders: between 10 and 12 pounds capacity.

The best way to determine if you are not overloading your washer is by loading your clothes in the washer making sure it is loosely full of clothes "do not push the load down" to make room for more.

The rear drum support must be replaced.The supporting ball has eaten into the support cup.The belt will have stretched and must be replaced also. You can do the job yourself.

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about dryers and noises...

It will help you determine what is happening there...

How do I determine the capacity of my washer?

able to find a spec sheet on your specific washer, but i can tell you that you have a whirlpool made kenmore washer. and at 18 yrs ago they have only gotten larger, youd be hard pressed (unles you bought a apt sized machine or a laundry center) to get a smaller capacity machine. new machines are huge in comparison to the oldies

Starting in early 2002, the capacity sizes were changed around a little bit. A normal sized washer now all have the same sized tubs (pretty much) in the 110 series (Whirlpool Manufactured) washers. The capacity is now rated somewhat by the agitator action the washer comes with. Depending on the type of agitator you have, will determine the capacity. King size capacity means you have a pretty good capacity (size wise) than others. You have normal capacity, large capacity, super capacity, king capacity, and I even think they have canyon (yes canyon) capacity. Capacity sizes dont really mean to much though. In order for you clothes to get clean, the must have room in the tub to move. The must be able to float up, then get pulled down by agitator action. That should determine the size of what goes in the washer. Always use same type clothing when doing laundry (i.e. towels with towels, sheets with sheets, etc, this will keep the load balanced better). Watch what you load, comforters are ok (per manufactures ok) but I do not tlike the idea unless its a front loader, and only by itself. Let me know if this helps you out any.

On newer, and sometimes a little newer, Whirlpool and Kenmore (Kenmore is made by Whirlpool) considers a few things in determing capacity. Most of the inner baskets are the same size, but they also add in agitator action into the mix. A Kenmore with an auger top agitator would have higher capacity than a Kenmore with just a normal agitator, even though it has the same sized drum. So a super capacity washer would have theoretically less CLEANING CAPACITY than a super capacity plus. The agitator action is actually what determines capacity on these models. So, with that in mind, cubic load should be about the same on both units. Sorry that I had to go into "Bill Nye The Washer Guy" mode, but thats about the only way to describe. Let me know if I can confuse you any more haha. Seriously though, if you need further help or info, write back, and will try to get you some other information. Remember, this theory only works on top load "normal people" washers, not the front loaders.
