Questions & Answers

For Ge Lid Switch Kit (Part Number: OEM7860459)

Nora for Model Number wpse7003a0ww

About 5 minutes into the wash cycle of my washer, a loud clicking noise starts and last for a few minutes. Then the washer stops and sits for 3-4 minutes. When it begins again it does not continue on the wash cycle, but starts to drain and then spin (so my clothes are only getting washed for that initial 5 minutes). During the spin I hear the loud clicking noise again. It then continues through the other cycles and I don't hear the clicking noise again. What could be causing this?

1 Answer

Nora, This issue sounds like it would be an issue with the control board on the unit. The clicking noise would be the relays on the board WH12X10138.

Hello Tim. Check the pump and see if it is clogged. If not, you will need to order and replace the control assembly WH12X10225 on the unit.

Hello Debbie. Check and see if the pump is draining on the unit. If not, then it sounds like the pump is the issue of the no spin. If it is not clogged, you will need to replace the pump on the unit.

T.H. for Model Number GE WASHER WBSE2090

Our GE washser model # wbse2090 is skipping the final spin cycle and I hear the motor running specially with heavy loads but it does not spin. Pump and Agitator coupling just got changed and did not solve the problem. To get it started on the spin cycle I move the timer to the final spin cycle and push the start button more than once, remove some of the cloths and put them back after it starts spining. Is it the lid switch or Clutch that need to be replaced. Thank you

1 Answer

Hello Kim! If the unit is not going into the spin mode it could well possibly the the lid switch WH12X10141. If the lid switch has become defective, it will not allow the unit to go into a spin mode as a safety feature. You can check the lid switch with a multimeter MA-DM1. Here is a link from our free repair forum you can refer to for help with using a multi meter. Hope this helps, thanks! http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
