Washer was manufactured in July 1995. Timer part number is 3946452.

Right, guess it can't come all the way out, not enough room under there for that, DUH! Anyway, don't know what holds it in, since no parts are available, never had a reason to take one apart. I do have an exploded parts view of the guts but it doesn't really indicate what holds the shaft in. If...

Don't think GE provides any replacement parts for these transmissions. I've replaced lower brake housing bearings in these as that is the most common failure in them and you can get the bearing through any bearing supply co. So, I guess all the oil drained out with the shaft out? The inner input...

To reiterate combo52's remarks. You should remove the existing metal strap that goes from the terminal block center stud to cabinet ground. When using a 4 wire power cord, you should not connect neutral and ground together. With them connected together, both neutral and ground will now conduct...

Owners manual might give some insight. http://shared.whirlpoolcorp.com/assets/pdfs/literature/Use%20and%20Care%20Guide%20-%20691264.pdf

You can tell what it is set to by either checking the dryer exhaust temperature or checking continuity between the temp switch AH terminal to the line side of each of the three thermostats to determine which one has been selected. If the wiring diagram tells you which thermostat is which...

I've repaired lots of these VMW machines and I know a lot of techs who consider them cash cows. Poorly made junk in my opinion. The actual percentage of failures may be low considering how ubiquitous they have become but we see lots of them. We are now replacing upper transmission bearings in...

"does the WP model not have an onboard computer bolted to the top of the motor like the GE does?" No, they do not. The triac's used to turn the motor on/off are on the main control board behind the user control panel. " the suspension which drops during filling up is just a charateristic of...

Probably thinking of the GE Hydrowave models. They use a 3 phase inverter driven motor.

"These have a digital inverter motor" These machines don't use inverter motors, they are simple single phase PSC induction motors. Line power is applied directly to the motors via triacs whose control determines overall speed and direction of rotation.

It can be changed. Has been discussed here.

Low/spray rinse is for Normal Eco cycle only.

Yes, that is the drive lug. It is splined to the transmission input shaft. When the pulley is driven CCW (viewed from below the pulley) the pulley lug engages the drive lug which rotates the input shaft. When you rotate the pulley in the CW direction for spin, as soon as you start to feel...

While the drive lug does not affect brake performance, if not adjusted properly, it can cause the brake to not be fully engaged during agitation and thus cause indexing.

The flow restrictors are there to allow time for the clothing to fully soak up the water in the load sensing models. The same water inlet valve is used in load sensing and non load sensing models.

They have been out for four years and there have been LOTS of problems with them. Way too many going to the landfills because people don't want to spend the money to get them fixed.

This sounds like a loose connection. Power is available to operate the control board but as soon as you press start, the high current required for starting the motor and powering the heater causes the connection to fail. Could be at the wall socket or the power cord connection block at back of...

I see this all the time. Nearly every time a DIY'er installs a new coupler, they don't get the plastic halves on the shafts far enough which binds the motor causing the burning rubber smell and overheating the motor. This can quickly lead to motor bearing failure if not fixed.

The full load running current on this motor is about 7.5 amps, average load about 4.8 amps. Starting current without a capacitor varies 5-10 times running current. Using a capacitor can reduce that to 2-4 times.

Here is photo of switch and motor wiring diagram. White wire in washer is used to provide neutral to timer contacts along with blue and yellow wires so that polarity to start winding can be reversed for motor direction reversal. You don't need the white wire unless you are going to wire in a...
