No clue. I did find what I thought was the exact same motor in a
Kenmore or Whirlpool washing machine once. (GE made the motor... --
I was watching the repairman with glee as he fought with it).

A bitch to change without the field service"RP06 motor removal/replacement
tool" which was a big round six wide pipe to place under the motor so it
didn't drop and crunch your hands flat.
