William H Papillion , NE March 22, 2015 Water level shutoff switch did didn't work allowing the washer tub to overfill I replaced the water level switch and hose. After removing the hose, I found that it was clogged, and did not allow the water level to be sensed by the switch. A test after the replacement of the parts was successful. While filling the tub, the water shut off at the small, medium, and large levels as indicated by the switch.

Robert G Cleveland , NC May 10, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Washer WDSR2080DBWW Water overflowing at the top and leaking at the bottom We had two problems at the same time. The washer was occasionally overflowing especially on super loads, and also leaking out the bottom, which got worse really fast. The overflow problem we have had before when the pressure switch hose became plugged with gunk, but cleaning the hose didn' fix it this time. The leak could be seen just above the trans. housing at the drum, so we diagnosed a bad seal. Knowing that the bearing would have to be running with water in it we also ordered the bearing and tub bearing washer. Also knowing Murphy's law we ordered the hub nut, the hub washer, and the split ring. Turned out the hub washer was broken, which may have contributed to the seal failure. We reluctantly also purchased the spanner wrench, not knowing what size the nut was. Turned out to be helpful in the long run. All the parts came in a couple days in one box. My son and I completed the repair in about an hour. Pretty simple deal. We replaced the pressure switch and hose also and now all is well. The trans shaft is corrode in the seal area, which we helped a little with some 600 wet sanding, so we anticipate the seal leak may return, and if it does a new trans will be needed. The washer has been running for several days now (we do a lot of laundry!) and so far so good.

Dave W Port Clinton , OH April 25, 2016 Pressure switch replacement ge washer Relied on a U-tube video to walk me through the replacement of the pressure switch on my GE Washer. After viewing the video I decided that I could perform the repair. The video was easy to follow and made the repair relatively straight forward. I checked the internet and selected Appliance Pros based on price to order the parts from. The parts provided by Appliance Pros were received the next day after order was placed and were like for like OEM and were correct. The parts were wrapped in a GE bag. I was pleased with the ease of ordering the parts, the order service and the fast delivery provided by Appliance Pros and will definitely use them again. I saved a lot of money for performing the repair myself. Read More... 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Pliers
