If you have a newer style GE Washer like this gfw850spn washer, removing the console is radically different than other style GE Machines. I will show you how to remove the console, and the total front bulkhead. Beyond those pieces, it disassembles generally like any other frontload washer would, but the start is incredibly tricky, with LOTS of screws.
Need a part to fix your GE Washer? Let me help you out with that! We carry many Samsung refrigerator parts, and can get many others not listed: oemparts.bens-appliances.com/...

When it calls for water to go into the softener slot, there is good flow for 1 second until it begins to flood the front detergent dual slot, and then the pressure drops to almost nothing going to the softener slot. Can't find any info on this.

any videos involving the mechanism for pushing water through different chambers in the tray. Mine is dispensing the softener just after the beginning of the wash cycle. I cannot have this and do not trust techs. I would like to know more before they come. Also,, sometimes the bleach cup in the tray is full of water at the end of the cycle??? My model is a little different, I did not want the bulk dispenser as I monitory how much detergent we use and we use much less than recommended. Model GFW550N2WW. Terrific video, great details, explanation, and overall directions. Excellent!

Helpful video! I needed to know how to take apart just the front/top area as I think the repairman that I called for my GE washer put it on too tight, making it quite hard to pull/push the soap tray. In case you're wondering what the fix was about, there was water dripping from the back of the soap tray compartment even when the washer was off, so much so it caused some mold in the rubber ring from the water dripping down all that way. Got the repairman to put a new hot water valve (I think that's the name of the part lol) in and it seems to have solved the issue. Anyway, will try to update when the issue is resolved! (Hopefully an easy fix to not warrant another visit, lmao!)

@@brigitas9176 Other than physically adding more water, the only way I've found to get more water into the machine is to run a rinse cycle before I run the wash cycle. After the rinse cycle the clothes are now wet(heavier), and the internal sensor will add more water than it normally would during the wash cycle. Note that I stop the washing machine immediately after the rinse cycle finishes and before the spin cycle begins to ensure the clothes remain soaking wet. This takes about 3 minutes total. This is inconvenient, but it's the only way I've found.

I have a GE Ultrafresh Vent System Front Loader Washer Model# GFW550SSN0WW (purchased in Summer of 2020 from Lowes). Due to shortage of manpower GE and Sears are backlogged almost 2-4 weeks out on setting service appointments. I suspect the Inverter Board on my washer is bad (Error Codes: 3, 8, 19, 23, 27, and 65(?)) I do not own a Service Manual for this model and KZbin is scarce on videos showing the location and access method for the inverter board. Can you tell me where is the inverter board on this washer and how to best access it. I pull the back cover off the washer and I can see an inaccessibility white computer board setup at about the 3:00 position underneath the outer drum. If the Inverter board is connected to that white computer board box then I'd have to turn this machine upside down to access it which is nearly impossible given the fact the washer weights in access of 200+ lbs and I have a bad knee, leg and foot. Where is the Inverter board on this unit I have?

@@bensappliancesandjunk Sorry, I doubted you but you were right. Compared to the ass backward vague directions in the Service Manual you tip that access was easier from the Front (After removing Bulk Face) was correct. However, I must say getting access and removing the Inverter was still a challenge. The Service Manual makes zero reference to the single Philips head screw on the lower center front of the Inverter which has to be turned counter clockwise to be removed. Once the Phillps head screw is removed then one must grab the inverter and jiggle it forward to cause the two white plastic male prongs to release from the metal floor plate. If this is the first time Inverter is being remove as was mine, then the real challenge begins here. There are two white OEM zip ties securing the wiring harness to the front and rear of the inverter board. One must carefully cut the zip ties otherwise one will not be able to release the Inverter Board from the Inverter Board Cover. Again be very careful cutting the Zip ties because if you encroach and cut the wiring harness then your screwed. After I was able to safely cut and remove the two white OEM zip ties, I then had to wiggle the cover off of the Inverter board base. From there the final challenge was removing the four (4) wires . There are two small white colored wires in the top left hand corner (J502 and J301) One must grab and squeeze the plastic release tab to release the wires. Then the larger remaining two wires (red = J101 and White = J401) have to be removed with either a pair of needle nose pliers or a small pair of Gardner Bender GRX-1142 Romex Cable Stripper. Insert the plier teeth in the middle of the red or white wire and squeeze while gently pulling back to get the wire clamps to release. One all four wire harness clips have been removed then the old defective Inverter has to be removed from its base. There are four small Phillips head screws securing the Inverter to the base. Remove the four screws and then the old Inverter can be removed and the new Inverter inserted (purchase mine New off E-bay with a Best Offer of $40 (Retails for about $150-$220 new from GE or Sears). Once you have inserted the new Inverter into its base, then you just have to rescuer the four wires then then the Inverter Cover and reverse the removal process to reinstall. Ran a Spin Test (#14) Drum Spinner up to max RPMS and system appears to be working again as good as almost new. Although your video was not about replacing an Inverter the core from Bulk Face and Lock removal portions were definitely helpful to my Inverter replacement project.

Usually in these machines I notice that it is a real pain in the butt and a very involved process to get the bearings out you basically have to. Take the whole tub out and tear it apart. Put it on saw horses and pound the bearings out.

Removing the tub assembly from any front loader is a two-man job. Using our automobile engine hoist, my wife and I removed and installed the assembly with little grief.

Would it be easier just to lay the washer on its side? You wouldn’t have to remove all the panels.

How do I get to the hall sensor for replacement?
@matthewrychtarsky1656
@matthewrychtarsky1656 Жыл бұрын
Did you find out how to get to the hall sensor? My error code (3) is indicating that needs replaced. And I can't find it on the parts diagram anywhere. And did you get a replacement if you found it (and maybe have a part number of so?)? Thanks?

I thought my hall sensor was bad. However, when I tested it with a multi-meter, it was fine. The resistance was around 200 ohms. Instead, the problem was the inverter board. Not sure if this helps you.

@@thestageboss thanks for the reply! Mine is showing error code 3. Which when I do a spin test it says if hall sensor is bad it will rotate for a few seconds then stop. But I am also questioning the inverter board. But inverter is $140 and non-returnable at the local shop I found that could order one. I also can't locate the hall sensor and swear I read somewhere in my searching that it is built into the motor and can't be replaced. But I can't duplicate that search result to verify if I really saw that. Was yours showing any error codes (and which ones if so) and what was the machine doing that made you replace inverter to fix it? Mine starts a cycle, runs about 3 to 5 minutes then says end and stops. Like it finished but isn't even close. In troubleshooting mode, the only tests it seemingly fails to conduct are the spin test and accelerated spin test. Both tumble slowly for a few seconds, then stop spinning and accelerated tests never shows any RPMs on display. Thanks for the reply again and for any more insight you can give! Hesitant to purchase this inverter without knowing more especially since the inverter doesn't look physically fried or anything as well.

I also experienced a failed inverter. First tech replaced motherboard. That failed. Second tech read codes correctly. Ordered new motor but new and old motor ohmed out identical. Ordered new inverter and that finally fixed it. 3 month process.

Surprising appliance manufacturers are not using screws with weird heads that require special tools to remove like Apple and some other electronics manufacturers do.

Fortunately, other than maybe 1 or 2 instances, its always philips head, torx, or a hex nut. The only time there's specialty tools involved is when its something really difficult like, say, a spanner nut.

I ordered mine, 6 months later it arrived and didn’t work. 4 months later it finally worked. Home Depot wouldn’t work with me because “it’s GE’s problem now”. I’ll never buy another appliance from there again. My wife was barely pregnant and we lived in an apartment when I paid for it. We owned a house and my daughter was a month old when it finally worked. 😢

When I had been leaving the drawer open to let it air dry, the detergent reservoir outlet clogged with dried up detergent. So I switched to leaving it closed. Now it is entirely full of black mold, and I'm here at this video trying to figure out how to get access deep inside the blue slot to try to sterilize it.
