Parts for Ge AZ61H15DABM2: 02 - Control Parts

The PWB MAIN ASM is an OEM part for GE window air conditioners. It is the printed circuit board that controls all essential functions and components of the air conditioner. The PWB MAIN ASM regulates temperature settings, fan speeds, modes, and monitors operational functions and parameters. 

Causes of a bad PWB MAIN ASM can include exposure to moisture, power surges, or other electrical abnormalities. 

Symptoms of a bad PWB MAIN ASM include: 

• The unit not turning on or not responding to controls
• Inability to set or maintain temperature levels
• Fan not working or only intermittent fan speeds available  
• Abnormal noises coming from the unit
• Issues with modes like cool, fan, or heating not functioning

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
 

This terminal board provides a secure electrical connection point for the appliance's main power and control wiring, restoring reliable power transfer and preventing loose or faulty connections. Ideal when wiring terminals are damaged, burnt, or corroded. What it does:

• Serves as the central connection point for incoming power and internal wiring harnesses.
• Replaces burned, melted, or loose terminal points that cause intermittent power or no-power symptoms.
• Stops arcing or overheating at damaged connection points, reducing risk of further wiring damage.
• Restores stable electrical contact for control boards and components that depend on the main power feed.

• One terminal board (single connection block as shown)

• Disconnect all power (unplug or shut off breaker) before beginning service.
• Photograph or label wiring to preserve correct connections before removal.
• Inspect adjacent wiring and connectors for heat damage; replace damaged items as needed.
• Tighten terminal screws securely but avoid over-torquing.

This control base assembly is the molded housing that holds the appliance's user-interface components. Replacing a damaged base restores proper alignment and secure mounting of the control board, switches, and display for dependable operation.

• Provides structural support and mounting points for the control board, switches, and display in the control area
• Keeps buttons/knobs aligned for smooth, consistent actuation
• Helps protect and organize wiring within the control panel
• Typical symptoms: cracked or broken housing, loose or sunken controls, buttons sticking or not lining up, rattling/vibration from the control area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove the control panel/console to access the base; retain screws and clips for reuse
• Transfer existing control components and wiring to the new base in the same positions
• Avoid overtightening screws into plastic; verify button travel and alignment before reassembly

This transformer supplies the low-voltage power needed by the appliance's control and ignition systems, restoring proper operation of electronic controls and spark ignition when the original transformer fails. What it does:

• Converts incoming mains power into the low-voltage output used by control boards and igniters
• Supports reliable spark generation for gas ignition systems on compatible appliances
• Helps restore responsive electronic controls and displays when a failed transformer causes loss of power
• Prevents intermittent control or ignition failures caused by a defective transformer

• One transformer

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle wiring harnesses and connectors carefully; ensure secure connections and proper routing

This control sheet is a thin insulating/ protective console panel that helps shield the appliance control assembly from heat, moisture, and debris for reliable keypad and electronics performance. It restores proper protection behind the control area. What it does:

• Provides a protective barrier behind the console to help prevent heat and moisture damage to control electronics
• Helps keep dust and debris away from the control board and keypad assembly
• Maintains the original spacing/insulation between the control and inner cabinet components
• Helps reduce the chance of shorts or corrosion caused by stray moisture

• One control sheet/console insulation panel

• Recommended for repair by someone comfortable working with appliance control panels
• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before removing the console or accessing the control area
• Handle the control sheet gently to avoid tearing; reassemble fasteners in their original positions

This Drive PWB is the replacement electronic board that controls the appliance's drive functions, restoring reliable motor and transmission commands for normal operation. What it does

• Controls drive motor speed and direction and sends/receives signals to the main control
• Can resolve symptoms such as no spin/agitate, erratic drive behavior, or unresponsive drive controls
• Re-establishes communication between drive assembly and console when board failure is the cause
• Works as the direct replacement board for the drive electronics in compatible units

• Disconnect power to the appliance before service to avoid shock—verify unit is de-energized
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching components; observe basic ESD precautions
• Reconnect all connectors in their original positions and secure mounting hardware

This part is an air conditioner fuse. This is a genuine OEM part made by General Electric and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. This part is intended to replace a faulty or blown fuse in multiple different models and brands of air conditioning units. Fuses are essential for preventing surges in power or high levels of current flow from reaching the appliance and damaging it. This part requires some knowledge of electrical circuits to replace. Ensure the air conditioning unit is completely disconnected from its power source before working on the appliance. Always make sure to take appropriate safety precautions when attempting any type of replacements. Proper tools are needed to install this part. For more accurate installation information on how and where to install this replacement fuse, refer to the original manufacturer diagrams or owner's manual. As an authentic replacement part, this fuse is suitable for use on various models of air conditioning units manufactured by General Electric and Hotpoint. Please note that this is a genuine part made of high-quality, non-corrosive, durable materials and is sold individually.

This fuse protects your appliance's electrical circuit from overcurrent. When the fuse opens, power to the controls or components is interrupted. Replace a blown fuse to restore protection and help prevent additional circuit damage.

• Opens the circuit during a short or surge to protect wiring and electronics
• Signs of a blown fuse: appliance dead/no power, display or controls unresponsive, interior lights out
• Typically fails due to shorted components, pinched wiring, or a power spike
• Tests open (no continuity) with a meter when failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; some models contain capacitors that can retain a charge.
• Access the fuse, verify it is open with a continuity test, and note its placement.
• Replace only with the exact fuse type and rating specified for your model; never bypass or upsize a fuse.
• If a replacement fuse blows again, locate and correct the underlying short before restoring power.

This electrical fuse protects your appliance's circuitry by opening the circuit when a fault or overload occurs. Replacing a blown fuse restores safe power flow and helps prevent further electrical damage. What it does:

• Protects the appliance's electrical circuit by interrupting power if an overcurrent condition occurs
• Stops power to control boards or motors when the original fuse has blown
• Common symptom: appliance has no power or will not start despite power at the outlet
• Common symptom: intermittent power or repeated fuse failure indicating an underlying fault

• One replacement fuse

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing
• Verify the fuse is the correct OEM part number and is visibly blown before replacing
• Avoid touching live terminals; use insulated tools if needed
• If the new fuse blows again, stop and diagnose the underlying issue
