How to Take Apart a GE Topload Washer

How to take apart a GE topload washer or more specifically, how to take the front and top panel off on a GE top load washer. Our washing machine started banging a little when in final spin. I found that one of the dampening straps had ripped. Will need to get a new one. We filmed this video quick since I was disassembling it anyway.

Even 5 years after you made this video. You have no idea how mucj you have helped me.

[@MichaelRoush1]

I wasn't fixing a broken stabilizer. But, I was looking for a leak in the cabinet of a GE washer WHSE5240D1WW. This video helped me a lot with getting the front cover off, and the top cover loose (and knowing that the lid sensor does NOT come loose, so I needed to have someone hold it). Got exactly what I needed to know from this video. Thank you! Saved me from buying a new outer tub assembly, which would not have fixed the problem anyway.

[@kevinpulver4027]

You had great audio and video! But where you really shine is you made it very short with all the information needed! Thank you.

[@luluyuyu]

Thankyou so much! I’m glad there’s content like this, that normally people don’t think about but it is definitely much appreciated when a problem arises and you don’t know how to take apart machines.

[@deanthompson3741]

Thank you sir! This video helped me find the problem. One of my straps came loose. Found a screw and piece of metal for the washer and back in business.

[@jessecelis965]

THANK YOU!! Everyone was telling me about the lid and NOT THISSSSS

[@altruistic3691]

Thank you sir...very easy to follow instructions. Good on you!

[@brndnwilks]

Oldie but a Goldie. This helped me get into the old machine that came with the house. Fixed, thanks!

[@charlenehunter9952]

this helped my dad fix our washer, thank you!

[@cberninzoni]

Helped so much! Just what I was looking for.

[@graceann3783]

Now I can get my socks my back

[@redcon1570]

That left one is always missing 😅

[@elit3401]

Thanks, your video is clear information and to the point !

[@carriepadgett2743]

ok, no amount of screw drivers, putty knives, butter knives, NOTHING is getting that darn clip to move on mine

[@arnoldlundy9123]

Thank you so much this was so helpful

[@snelzzy]

Great video! Just what I was looking for. I don't know about everyone else but I would have greatly preferred no music.

[@seanmccall6927]

First video that came up for me, thank you.

[@jccao4252]

Thank you for your help. Great video and instructions!

[@rickeykeeton4770]

I suggest removing the control panel and disengaging it from the top instead of risking breaking the lid taps.

[@mohammedaldujaili2890]

Thank you for posting this video.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@gerardpare6463]

Nice job 👍.

[@zulyruva2465]

Thank you for the help! 🤗

[@lisaayers1975]

Thank You 👍

[@magfedmikex4466]

Dude this video is amazing ty

[@connort6439]

Thank you for this video- mines banging into the walls as well but the rubber straps are fine any other suggestions?

[@destynnee]

What do you do, when front, wont pop open, even though both clips are disengaged?

[@ninomugzakaheavyhitta376]

Thanks great video

[@dontmissthelittlethings]

Okay, that's helpful.

[@karlschihl6655]

nice

[@amontef1]

Thanks for the video on showing how to open the washer panel. My washer was banging noises, and I checked all 4 straps and they looked good. Why else would the washer tub be banging around like that?

[@loisyoung2372]

It is possible that one of the suspension rods, that the tub is suspended from has gotten bent. Even a small bend will do it. The easiest thing could be the ball and socket that holds the rods. They are supposed to move freely, there is grease in the socket, if the grease is sticky that can cause it. If they are damaged at all replace them. If the grease is nasty clean thoroughly and regrease. It takes strong hands to lift the rod out of place to repair. Make sure to do one rod at a time or you will have to lift every thing with one hand.

[@adamellis4578]

Thank you for not explaining for ten minutes why I might want to open my washing machine and getting straight to the point. I obviously was looking up how to get in there that is how I found your video. Seriously short sweet and to the pint

[@mhern57]

Thank you! And the best part we have the Exact same washer!

[@Keyboardmusic1943]

I wanted to know how to replace the tub seal as it is leaking water from the bottom. I have a combined washing and drier machine

[@sunnysea6]

Please no music. Thanks for video!

[@aarongray503]

Hey Jay what was that rubber piece called. I'm having similar issues. It sounds like the monsters from stranger things are breaking through. I have a Admiral which I believe is owned by maytag.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Hey Aaron! Are you talking about the rubber straps? ( amzn.to/2UDEsLq ) I think only GE washers have them.. But I may be wrong. Did you visually check and try to find where the banging is happening (look for scuffs or little dents)

[@blackwolfsyndicate8650]

Yeah I popped those front tabs and it doesn't loosen anything. Idk.

[@sherrilllofton6098]

Hey Jay where can I get the rubber straps

[@greglewis3382]

How do you take that white plastic thing off the top of the drum? Mine is full of water, is it supposed to be?

[@suzanagorvokovic3936]

what about where the buttons are bc the auto soak button unscrewed it self . I have the outside button and want to tighten it with the inside one

[@Frederer59]

Unplug first.

[@mohammadafzal58]

Replace belt please

[@bromandave7381]

Hey thanks for the video. I have a different model (Model# GTW335ASNWW) but it's also a ge top loader. Is it safe to assume that the front panel is similar as far as the 2 clips in roughly the same position?

[@Lycurgus224]

Yes, I can confirm, with the top loaders they're all in roughly the same place.

[@MikeDancy]

I've had the GE repair person at our house 3 times and it's still not fixed. You couldn't pay me to buy a GE washing machine again

[@staceys2711]

How about washing machines that don't have a front panel, it just goes all the way around to the back & is seemingly impossible to deal with ugggghhh

[@alibabaalibaba6785]

COULD YOU PLEASE SHOW US HOW TO DISASSEMBLY GE Space-Saving 2.7 DOE Cu. Ft. Capacity Portable Washer WSLP1500J0WW TO CLEAN IT?　THANKS。

[@garthornspike3648]

Yeah. A typically over-priced piece of junk constructed of inferior parts that aren't intended to last long.

[@AnthonyRobinson-rc9yd]

I've had mine for 10 years and it's just now having issue
