This repair addressed two problems with a 4+ year old GE Washer GTW460ASJ0WW:
1) Washer spontaneously turned itself on and all the controls were dead, no lights on the panel.
2) Water had been slowly leaking into the tub for over a year.
Ordered and installed these parts, which solved both problems:
GE Ui & Control Board - Part #: AP6974046 (WH22X29556)
GE Water Valve Gasket Asm - Part #: AP6892695 (WH13X26535)
Notes - Control Board
- Easy to open the panel with just basic hand tools.
- Easy to remove the circuit board - held in place with plastic bracket
- There are several connectors that need to be removed and reattached, but each is unique so there's no risk of reassembling incorrectly
- Still it's a good idea to take pictures first.
Notes - Water Valve
- Easy BUT WATCH FOR THE THERMISTOR O-RING
- The assembly is held in place with a metal place and two screws - easy
- The bracket also holds the thermistor (temperature sensor) in place
- It fits in a small hole in the valve body, where it contacts the water
- The o-ring on the thermistor can get stuck in the old valve body - be careful to retrieve it and reinstall on the thermistor or else water will leak
Thermistor Assy Part Number: AP6036255
It would have helped if there were instructions with the valve assembly, warning you of this. I didn't realize it the first time, so it leaked and I had to disassemble, inspect, find the o-ring in the old valve, then reassemble in the new one.
