Jim March 30, 2020 for Model Number Model WPGT935COPL My GE Profile Harmony Washer #Model WPGT935COPL was making a grinding/clicking noise when sensing the load. so i checked the error display and it stated to replace the Coupling Assembly . I did that and it still made the noise and was louder. I then checked and noticed that when I pull on the arm that hooks up to the Motor assembly, the gears do not lock together. Would that be the problem, if so what would you suggest?
1 Answer Jim, if the shifter arm is not able to move to connect to the motor assembly WH20X10024 then the gearcase WH39X10003 would need to be replaced. However, if the motor assembly does not rotate properly, it can cause the coupling assembly to not engage the gearcase properly. It would be recommended that the motor is observed during operation to identify if it is rotating and allowing the shifter arm to move as needed. Read More...
1 Answer Todd, There are a couple of areas that need to be checked like the heater area, drain pump, hoses, and don't forget the water inlet valves could be leaking and flowing down. The only other issue would be the tub seal which is part of the gear case. WH39X10003 Read More...
Len February 21, 2019 for Model Number WPGT9350C0WW I recently replaced the Mech Hsng Asm - Bearing (AP3207181 WH39X10003) unit on this machine. This resolved the major bearing noise (metal on metal) that was occurring. However, now on wash cycle I am hearing a low-level grinding (either plastic on plastic, or possibly the seal breaking in with the splines?. I'm suspicious that the inner plastic housing on the Motor Asm Kit (AP6004391 WH49X25041) may be a little worn down from previous bearing going bad? Visual on it looks ok, however, I am curious of your opinion. Also, a little noisier than normal during final spin, however, visual on Balance Asm (AP3206129) and Suspension Arms (AP3205746) all look good. Thanks kindly for any feedback.
1 Answer Len, if your washer is starting to sound like a jet engine when it goes into spin mode, this will certainly be an indicator that the motor kit assembly could be going bad. Another thing that can occur is dust or small debris can accumulate on the magnets in the rotor which can cause this issue and normally causes the rotor to improperly function even after removing debris.

Darryl June 03, 2018 for Model Number WPGT9350C0PL Bearing started making small noise a few months ago. Increased to the loud screech this weekend. Wife really likes this washer and hasn't found a new one that she really wants to replace it with. I'm pretty sure it is the bearing assembly. If I replace that, is there something else that I should consider replacing while I'm there? Also how big of a job is replacing the bearing? The washer is approx. 15 -20 years old. thanks.
1 Answer Darryl, There should be no other parts that would be needed to replace the bearing assembly which would be part number WH39X10003. Read More...
Terry April 02, 2018 for Model Number GE Harmony WPGT9360EOWW Washer started making a sound like a tuba when washing. Seems to wash ok, just makes noise. Could this just be the bearing or the transmission. What would the part numbers be . Thanks
1 Answer Hello Terry. You will need to check the bearings in the unit and see if they are bad and will need to be replaced. Thank you. Read More...
John September 07, 2017 for Model Number WPGT9350C0PL I am trying to replace the Mech Hsng Asm-Bearing. I got the nut off the bottom of the basket, now I'm trying to get the basket out. It looks like it's corroded and won't pull out. Is there a trick to getting the basket out?
1 Answer John, You will want to try to rock the tub back and forth to break it loose or use a penetrating oil like PB blaster to try to get it to break free. Read More...
Jose R October 10, 2016 for Model Number WPGT9350C0PL washer is leaking water from underside of tub and machine is also very noisy when on spin cycle. what do you recommend? To me noise sounds like a bearing problem but don't know if leak would be coming from same area.
1 Answer Hello Jose. You will need to order and replace part number WH39X10003 on the unit. Read More...
Stan August 26, 2016 for Model Number WPGT9350C0PL I replaced the tub bearing assembly, but now, the pulsator is slipping. I initially thought the clutch wasn't properly engaging. I removed the pulsator and ran a rinse cycle and the clutch engaged as it should. I noticed that there are some differences in the original bearing assembly and the replacement part I received. Is this something that is common after replacing the bearing assembly?
1 Answer Hello Stan, This sounds like you have recieved a bad WH39X10003. While it is not a common issue, it is possible if the splines on the inside of the pulsator WH43X10027 are not stripped. Read More...

1 Answer Joseph, The most likely cause for the unit to seize up would be the bearing failing on the unit and would require the Mechanical housing assembly WH39X10003 to be replaced. Read More...
