Customer Questions and Answers for Diverter Valve (Washer) by Ge

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM16890666
Manufacturer Part Number: WH43X10059

This diverter valve directs wash water inside the machine, switching flow between internal paths during wash and drain/recirculation steps. Replacing a failed diverter restores proper water routing so cycles advance and complete as designed.

  • Redirects water between the drain and recirculation/spray paths as commanded by the control
  • Ensures correct water flow for wash, rinse, and drain steps
  • A sticking or failed diverter can cause slow/no drain or no recirculation/spray
  • May lead to cycle pauses/errors, unusual clicking/buzzing from the valve area, or leaks at the valve body/ports
What's included: 1 diverter valve assembly
  • Unplug the washer and turn off water supply; expect residual water in hoses
  • Access location varies by model; typically mounted along the pump/hoses under the cabinet
  • Move hoses/clamps and the electrical connector one at a time; match port orientation
  • After installation, run a rinse/drain test and check all connections for leaks

Hello Bob. You will need to remove the top off the unit to access and replace the diverter in the unit. It is mounted on the dispenser. Remove the screws securing it and wires from the unit and remove the part from the unit.

Richard for Model Number whdvh626foww

I have a used machine, when I hooked it up to a garden hose to check it out besides the drive pulley being loose with movement left and right and belt coming off after reinstalling it, I had water leaking on floor in small amount. How do I know if drum bearing is bad also? It feels tight. Drum turns easy by hand with no noise heard. Where might the water leak be coming from? No water was noticed when water was put into tub with bucket. THANK YOU, Richard

1 Answer

Richard, If the tub was not leaking when it was full and only leaking when filling then it may be coming from one of the inlet hoses or the water valve.

Hello Henry, This can be caused by a bad water valve, a bad dispenser motor, a bad control board or a stopped up dispenser, (mineral deposits and sedimentation).
