The coil could CATCH ON FIRE if you bypass this thermal fuse. Installing an inline fuse would only protect against over-current, not over-temperature. Older models have the AUPO (C*h*i*n*e*s*e brand) A4-F, 130 deg C, 2 amps, 250V rating. S*e*a*r*c*h: china-aupo a-f-product Newer models have the AUPO A8-5A-F, 150 deg C, 5 amps, 250V rating. S*e*a*r*c*h: china-aupo a-5a-f-product The A8-5A-F won't blow so easily, and still protect against fire. These are not available at Mouser nor Digikey. I got them on e*B*a*y, from C*h*i*n*a, and there was a German seller who had them (faster shipping) in Feb 2023. Use the e*B*a*y s*e*a*r*c*h: AUPO 150 a8 5a I looked for a self-resetting thermal cutoff, but they are too thick to fit in the very tight space. During shifting, the coils gets 140VDC for 30 seconds, then drops to 35VDC to hold the shifter castle up. If someone opens the lid during shifting, the coil keeps getting 140VDC for too long, and overheats. It's a software bug. Don't open the lid before the end of the cycle on these top-loading models with an electronic inverter board that's on top of the motor.

Background: I dumped too many clothes in the machine. During last cycle it spun violently and I decided to to press switch to shut down. After that it stop agitating or spinning. The water filling is Ok and drain pump works. Question-1: Does it have control board inside top dash compartment? Question-2: I found the manual inside the Washer dash panel. It has the drawing of LED location and the Error code chart. But I kept on looking behind the connection plugs and don't see the small green LED. In the dark, there was no blinking. Are all motors for this big-wheel series has the LED? Question-3: How can I check the motor? I bought a used motor and replaced it but still dead. Question-4: How can I check the clutch switch without flipping the washer and tear it apart? Can I simply test continuity from the Red+Yellow terminal? Thanks,

Question how do you take out the coil without damaging it!

Hey thanks so much for the tutorial! Great explanation and simple solution. Really appreciate you taking the time to create, saved my whasher and expensive and non replacement coil only to find...they sale the hole set with shaft for $150 USD......thanks so mucho, greathings from Baja Mexico.

Great video. Just got one of these.. Needed to know what was up.. Now can tell customer.. not sure I can leave out fuse.. If it were mine I could. I don't like tearing down old Ge.. washers.. pain.. compared to Old Whirlpool.

Great video I hope it solves my problem that I'm having with mines

Can you share a parts list or diagram?

Can you stop eating for your video

applied for a driver job at Oreilly's, pay was 10 - 11 dollars? pitiful did not take the job, mgr. said they had been looking for a while..gee I wonder why.

Love you always Ashley <3

If the mode shifter not working the motor would not work ?

Can U gain access to the bearing in thet unit and replace it ? Great indepth video while one handed ✋️ !

Question: Does the car have a buzzer or a chime?

This is the best video ever.

Sorry they got sold out in 1985

I’m so sorry to hear that you passed. It’s been a long time. You were such an amazing girl. You will always be in my heart. Love you my friend. God bless. We will meet again.

Orielly’s fucking sucks

Are you shore its pin 5 cause to me it looks like pin 1

Hello there, I am Nabila from Susengo Company which makes toys. We are going to design a new Foam Machine. I noticed that you have been to some Foam Parties and I wonder if you would like to answer some questions about Foam. Would you chat with me for 30-60mins? In return, I will send you $30-$70. Thank you in advance.

This is the best information on this device i have seen! Thank you. Its my first time coming across the mode shifter!

With the thermal fuse thrown out or not used, are you not afraid that in the future the coil wire or something else important in the mode shifter assembly will get burnt and damaged due to power surge?

Wow what an idot.

good night pontiac le mans and kadette GSI Brazil and germany

We do a little O'reillin

Yo, thats my dad haha

I accidentally came across this

Great tip going to try this on mine, thanks for sharing. I know some electrical motors use this too

If it runs on electricity and just suddenly quit it's the damn thermal fuse! I watched a lot of videos. This is the one l needed. Thanks.

Do u have to take it a part take the drum out to get to that fuse

Hi, my flux capacitor is broken, can I replace it with an oscillating overthruster?

I work at O’Reillys We had a customer call yesterday and a female team member answered He asked for a left handed screw driver ? She was searching the whole store looking for one !!!!

O'Reilly's Autoparts: "Bored AF. Let's troll." Grass Valley Store: "Oh, that's a flux capacitor. It doesn't show we have any." Me: "Really now? I wonder why... See, I work in an electronics manufacturing plant (Crane A&E, Defense Power) that builds PSU's (power supply units) for corporations of the US Government and all the Military branches. We use these components on a daily basis in a lot of devlopmental prototypes. That is all I can say though because of ITAR regulations and internal company security policies."

Grat Video. Thanks. I think that is the problem with my machine, I can see the 4 red flash on the board. she fills with water and empties but does not wash or spin. but I wanted to ask you. you should see the motor running when you have this problem ?? Or is it that the engine does not run when it has the problem of the mode shift?? because I don't see the engine running by itself

Stupid video guys. Everyone knows that part number. Don’t quit your day job!

Lo cambie y se volvió a quemar

Porque se daña esta bobina

Porque se daña esta bobina

Hello U just bypass is a fuse?

Probably late for a reply but what was the fuse rating or part number? I would like to do this but replace the fuse as well.

Mine flashes 10 times after I turned it on. Washer will fill in with water and will drain but no agitation and spin. Lid switch, fuse and the control knob panel are okay. What a mess!!

Thanks Amigo.

Does anyone know the heat spec on the fuse? If Im going to go through the trouble, I might as well spend the $3 and replace the fuse instead of bypassing it. Thanks

This is the kind of videos we need on here! I do the same shit, thanks for posting.

profesor muy interesante el video pero no entiendo el ingles solo me puedo intruir por la imagen

LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

LOL he wants to upgrade his Flux Capacitor go 88 MPH going back in time.

Not free though.... You invested a good amount of time to take the machine apart down to this level in order to get at the shifter coil. I'll bet it took an afternoon to do that and then re-assemble the washer. Worth it for the homeowner with an open afternoon, but way too costly to pay someone to do it for you.

I like to find out if someone knows how to take that shifter assembly apart? That is my interest. :-)

You saved the day for me
