Questions & Answers

For Ge Washer Lid Switch Assembly (Part Number: OEM16939194)

1 Answer

Albany Landlord, Thanks for the question!!! The washer must drain the water before it will spin. Place the washer on spin, then check the connections on the drain pump for 120vac. If no voltage you may have a control problem. If there is voltage then the drain pump is faulty. Check on your machine for a tech sheet. This can help direct you in additional troubleshooting that may be needed.

Hello C., This sounds like a bad connection. You can try electrical cleaner on the connections and then some white lube. The cleaner will remove corrosion and the white lube will prevent it from returning by repelling moisture.

Sandy for Model Number WJSR4160DAWW

Doing a load of wash, washer filled up, agitated, pumped out the water, and stopped. It would not go into the rinse cycle. Then I could not get washer to do anything. Tried the next day noticed the bottom part of the knob which has an arrow on it did not turn with the top part of the knob. Finally moved it by hand and washer again filled, agitated, pumped out the water and would not go in the rinse cycle. Is that a knob problem or control problem which on your diagram is part 100?

1 Answer

Hello Sandy, You need to remove the knob WH01X10310 and see if the gear like teeth on it are stripped or if the teeth in the timer are stripped. In some cases, the knob has to be replaced and in others, the timer WH12X10297 has to be replaced. Very seldom, both the knob and the timer has to be replaced. This cannot be determined until you check to see which part is damaged.

Louis, With the unit does not spin or agitate then you will want to check the lid switch on the unit. If the lid switch is faulty it will cause the unit to not spin or agitate and will not send power to the motor. Because the pump is on a separate circuit it will still drain without spinning.

Hello Rodney. On this model, you need to check and see if the unit is draining properly. If so, blow through the pressure hose and see if the air dome is clogged on the side of the tub. If so, blow it out. If it is good, and the hose is good, you may have a bad pressure switch on the unit.

Hello Jduluth. You need to check the pump. If it is humming, but not draining the water, there is either a clog or the pump is bad on the unit.
