Tonya G Philadelphia , PA September 02, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Washer WJSR4160G1WW Agitation and spin cycle completely stopped I have a 14 year old GE washing machine that had been making a lot of noise while running but had eventually just stopped flat. The agitator and spin cycle would not run. I found this site and made excellent use of all the repair videos to study about my issue. I put in my machine model number and I Immediately was able to start honing in on what my problem could be from website advice about popular repair parts, stories others had shared about their similar machine issues and watching videos, I was overcome with a calmness assuring me that I COULD ACTUALLY DO THIS! I never repaired a machine (of any type) in my life. But after taking the front panel off the machine (which they show you how to do like everything else, step-by-step) and finding the broken belt laying on the bottom panel- I was able to decipher what my problem likely was and how to fix it. I took a few days and finally ordered all the parts I thought I needed. Order placed on Thursday night parts received on Sunday afternoon!! When my parts came, new belt, new belt installation tool, dampening straps and 2 different suspension rods, I reviewed repair videos for each part’s replacement and I was able to meticulously make each repair in a sensible order and within a sensible time frame. The trickiest repair was the belt replacement. Just listen and watch the video and understand that once you thread the belt around the belt replacement tool and secure it with a zip tie to the pulley on the left side that you do not have to try to stretch the belt around the pulley wheel, just calmly turn the pulley until the zip tie has gone all the way around the pulley wheel and has now returned to your vision, in front, on the right side. Expect some resistance but nothing like you trying to manually stretch the belt around the pulley (haha). Anyone can do these repairs. With new washing machines starting at $500 my repairs were way more affordable. THANKS appliancepartspros.com! Not only did you save me a bundle, but you helped me impress my wife with my handyman skills. Will definitely be shopping here again!!

Marcel S Orlando , FL June 30, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Washer WPSE4200A0WW Ge washer was shaking / vibrating excessively during rinse / spin cycle I replaced all 4 suspension rods and springs and now it spins very smooth. They weren't broken, just badly worn. It gave new life to my 15 year old GE Profile washer. They are basically springs, so they wear after a while. It was well worth the hour I spent fixing it. You need a good long reach to get to the back 2 and you have to take off the dampening straps and the control panel so you can gain access. All in all, I'm happy with the repair, although I though that these parts are bit pricey for what they are, but at least the labor was free. If you watch the video online, anybody can do this repair.

Ronald E Carrollton , TX August 23, 2019 Washer was making loud noises especially during the spin cycles I viewed the instruction videos on Appliance Parts Pro's web site for all of the parts. Replaced all 4 suspension rods and spring assemblies, rod supports, and washer tub dampening straps. Also replaced the washer agitator coupler due to the rattle when moving the coupler by hand.

William P San Clemente , CA June 23, 2019 Appliance: General Electric Washer WDRR2500K3WW The washing machine was making an awful noise I replaced the 4 suspension rods and I SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE SUSPENSION ROD SUPPORT but I didn't, therefore it doubles the repair time.
