Jerry May 22, 2020 for Model Number GTWN2800D0WW Water continues to trickle in in 2 streams after the spin cycle is complete. The only way I can stop it is to turn off the water supply. Also water must be coming in during the spin cycle as the clothes are still wringing wet after the spin cycle
1 Answer Jerry, it is recommended that the water pressure to the valves are checked to ensure they are within 40 to 100 PSI. This range will allow the water valves to operate properly. However, the water leaking by is an indication that the water inlet valve assembly WH13X23974 will need to be replaced. Read More...
Donald September 21, 2019 for Model Number WBB2090G8WW I need a new water pressure switch hose. Will any generic plastic tube of correct dimension work or must this be a specific type of plastic tube?
1 Answer Hello Donald, You will need to use a pressure switch hose WH41X365 specifically designed for this purpose since the detergent produces a very strong chemical reaction. Not all materials can withstand this reaction. Read More...
1 Answer Danny, If the pressure hose is removed while there is water in the unit then yes there will be water that will come out of the air dome. Read More...
Jack June 19, 2018 Is the air dome on the washer suppose to have water in it? If it does how do you get the water our or clean the air dome. This seems to be the problem as the water pressure switch works and the tube is clear.
1 Answer Jack, The air dome may have a little water in it but the key thing is to make sure that that port that the hose connects to is not clogged up. There is really no way to clean the air dome other than pulling the inner tub and try to get in there to try to wipe it out. Read More...
Andrew January 09, 2018 for Model Number GTWN4250D1WS I have recently noticed that my washer will continuously fill until it gets to near the very top of the drum. It's at this point the agitator will not work because with the clothes and the water the machine is too heavy and the overflow senor trips. I have traced the issue to the water pressure hose and switch. I installed a new switch and discovered that the water does not travel up the hose. The water fills up the little side tank under the hose but does not come up through the nipple and into the hose. I have checked the hose for leaks by blowing into it. The are no obstructions in either the tank or the switch so I'm not sure why I can't get water to go up the hose.
1 Answer Andrew, Water does not come up through the hose and only allows air pressure to push through the diaphragm inside the pressure switch. Read More...
Judy December 26, 2017 for Model Number WWRE6260D Water begins flowing into the tub and then, instead of continuing at a brisk flow, starts to trickle into the tub. What is causing this? If I turn off the machine and then start the washer again, it flows correctly and then, once again, begins to trickle.
1 Answer Judy, This issue would most likely be caused by a weak water valve solenoids and the water valve would need to be replaced. Read More...
Russell Moning October 25, 2017 for Model Number GTWN4250D0WS tub WH45X20473 is the air dome removable on this tub for cleaning?
1 Answer Russell, No, the air bell is not removable from the outer tub assembly. It is "sonic" / heat welded to the tub. You can disconnect the air tube from the air bell, and use an old fashioned "pipe cleaner" or similar tool to carefully clear any debris or sediment from the opening. Make sure you get a good air tight seal on the air tube and air bell when you reinstall it. Read More...
Richie January 29, 2017 for Model Number GTWN4250M1WS The water does not fill up all the way I put it on heavy load and the water stops at small all the time?
1 Answer Hello Richie. You will need to check and see if the pressure switch WH12X10412 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
David August 22, 2016 for Model Number GTWN4250M1WS Does my washer's air pressure dome need to be cleaned? If so, how do I clean it?

Kenny G February 06, 2016 for Model Number WHDSR417D0WW Hi, I had a transmission go out on our GE washer, and with the help of your website, I was able to replace it without too much trouble. Just some corroded parts that were tough to loosen. I also put a new belt on, replaced the tub bearing, split ring, hub nut and replaced a broken dampening strap while I had the thing torn apart. Got it put back together and now it floods no matter what load size setting is used. We have to shut the machine off to stop the inflow of water. It pumps out just fine, but it will not shut off when bringing in water. Any ideas on where to start? The machine was running well prior to the transmission going out, so I wouldn't think the pressure switch went bad "over night. Any common mistakes that could cause the problem? Or did I screw up the reassembly? Any ideas would be helpful. By the way, your web site is awesome. I now have a honey do list on the dryer and fridge as well. Thanks, Kenny
1 Answer Kenny, You will want to make sure that you reattached the pressure hose or that the pressure hose was not damaged during previous repair. if the pressure hose is disconnected it will not allow the unit to shut off. Make sure that it is attached at the tub and at the pressure switch. Read More...
