Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Belt Installation Tool by Ge

Bob, On your motor there is a control board that should have a flashing led light. You will need to check how many flashes the light makes to the chart that is on the tech sheet which is located in the console of the unit. Also check the suspension rods and the corner supports where the rods hang from to make sure that there is no issue with them.

Hello Oliver. You need to check and see if the hub assembly WH45X10060 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.

Hello James. When you release the clips, the front panel pulls forward to access the inside, not the top lifting. You do not lift the top on this model.

Hello Greg. Check and see if the bottom of the unit is bent. If not, you may have some issues with the shocks WH16X10057 WH16X544 being bad on the unit and needing to be replaced. Also look and make sure the frame on the unit is not cracked or bad on the unit.

Hi Pam. While filling the buzzing is that the water valve coils are starving for good water pressure. Water valve part # []. R3emove the power. Remove the control back cover. Jump the red/blu wire with the Dark blue/wht wire together. Use elect. tape to wrap around the wire connections so they do not touch anything. (Usually you will slide the connectors together by one side from each connector mated together so you don't have to use a stripped wire for the jumper). Now start the washer in reg wash cycle and see if it starts agitation. If so then the pressure switch needs replaced part # WH12X10301. If not then look at the lid switch that will allow what you exactly explained. Jump the Red/blu wire and the orange wire at the lid switch and see if agitation begins (using the same manner as spoken of before). Lid switch part # WH12X10334. Thank You.

Hi Pam. Use a putty knife to push in on the top clips at the lt. and rt. side of the corners. Under the front top edge , approx. 3-4" in aer the release tabs. The front panel will pop out at he top and then you slide/lift it from the front of the cabinet frame. Inspect the flashing green light on top of the motor circuit board and count the flash intervals. A normal "wash" mode will be a half second on and a half second off. At idle it will be flashing at one second on and one second off. If both of these are true then see if the belt needs replaced, part # WH01X10302. You may be better off to use a belt installation tool w/instructions part # WX05X20641. Let us know if we can assist. further. Thank You.

Lorenzo, Can you hear the motor run or hum ? Does the machine fill with water ? have you removed the front panel and checked for a damaged belt or motor ? There are several components involved in making the washer agitate and spin, we need a bit more information in order to have a place to start. Thanks
