Hi,  MY better half washed a fairly heavy throw rug and during spinning the load evidently became very unbalanced. Long story short she ran to washer,opened lid..agitator was lying crosswise in tub, water all over floor. The cone shaped unpainted bottom of tub (under agitator) is shattered. Parts probably went thru pump etc. Time for a new washer? Thanks to any who reply, Bill1946

Yeah, I think the time for a new washer has come. And it probably wasn't her fault.
A nice new no frills top loader will do a fine job for you, and just to be on the safe side remember that the reason they invented laundry mats with those large, high capacity, commercial strength washers is for those big throw rugs.
Good luck.

The spin basket and tub may have a ten-year or lifetime warranty check your owner’s manual or call GE before you decide get a new washer. If GE will send you a spin basket and tub (if needed) free this page should help you make the repair GE Washer Disassembly Guide

Good luck. Thanks for the reply and advice. After looking at all our options that's exactly what we decided to do. Bill1946

Thanks,
I looked into it and with the inaccessible nature of it's (the washer) location, shipping on the tub,pump and other various parts we decided to bite the bullet and purchase a new one.
