Christian C Sevierville , TN November 03, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Washer WJRR4170G0WW Washer would fill with water but not spin or agitate Its alive!! After a recent power surge, our washer would not spin or agitate. I tried replacing the timer but the motor still would not spin or agitate. I was really hoping the motor was not fried. I replaced the fuse and its working like a champion again! I un-installed the new timer, put the original timer back in, and it still works great, so I even get to return the new timer and save a little money. Thanks for the generous return policy! The fuse was a little tricky to find (you have to remove a fair amount of electrical tape to get to it), but once removed it was an easy fix of snipping the old fuse out, stripping the wire, and installing new fuse by splicing it in with wire nuts. The wire nuts included with the kit seemed very cheap so I used some other wire nuts that a little beefier and they worked great.

Trenton H Madisonville , TN August 22, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Washer WPRE8150K1WT Bad fuse Your article helped me figure out, since the motor had no error codes, the cheapest problem first would be to check the fuse. Without cutting wires I checked the continuity and at had none. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
Noah H Simpsonville , KY June 28, 2015 Ge top load washer would not agitate or spin After going through the machine I found the motor was not getting any power(green light never illuminated). In the wiring harness next to the right side of the top of the machine was a hidden wire with a fuse link. This wire did not olm out so I replaced it and the machine works like new. Incidentally a repair person with GE told me that I was probably going to have to replace the motor. This was much less expensive. Read More...
