Ge WH22X38441C Main Control Board (Top-Load Washer) OEM Part

GE Washer m/n GTW460ASJ6WW would allow other fill levels, but when set to "super" it would never stop filling. Checked water inlet valve (by initiating a fill and unplugging the unit) to see if the inlet valve was sticking open, that was not the issue. Decided to replace the board even though it is a significant fraction of the cost of a new washer. Local appliance stores didn't have the board but APP did, and of course, they are open 24/7 while my local part stores have decided the weekend is not a profitable time for them to be open. Steps: 1. Remove the two screws in back of the console to allow you to tip up the console away from the washer tub. 2. Remove the four screws holding the back plate to the plastic console housing (there is an RJ11 debug connector mounted to the metal back plate and it would be very hard to replace the board without freeing it from the washer). 2.5 (sorry I forgot a step) Disconnect all the connectors from the board. Most have a latch that you need to squeeze while pulling otherwise they won't come apart. 3. Detach the console from the back plate. 4. Remove the bracket screws holding the board to the console so you can remove the white plastic bracket. There are two friction fit pins in the bracket, you just pull to remove from the board, but be careful you don't crack the bracket. 5. Make sure you ground yourself before removing the new board from its anti-static bag. (You can do this by touching a large metal object or a metal water pipe, etc.) 6. Place the board on the console 7. Push the bracket into place 8. Replace the screws holding the bracket 9. Replace connectors 10. Replace metal back plate 11. Place console assembly on washer and replace two mounting screws 12. Follow instructions that came with the new board to set its "personality". Note on my washer, once you got into diagnostic mode, ALL the LEDs flash. Instructions don't make this perfectly clear.

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.

I did it myself. Took me less then 10 minutes to change the board. I saved about $200 by doing it myself.

GE washers seem to have problems with start buttons. We replaced the one we had because of it, and now it is a problem on our new one. The start button is made into the control board so in order to replace, you have to swap out the whole board. A $130 repair for a $2 button. You have to program the control board for the washer you have by selecting the appropriate binary display on the led's. It was good that the instructions with the board were complete and understandable, and I hate reading instructions.

Husband used the troubleshooting guide for our washing machine which is a GE,,,and determined it was the board.. Which came within a couple of days just like it said it would,,, Husband put it in and all fixed... By the way washer was only three years old... Thank you
