The Rotary Temperature Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE washers. This switch controls the temperature setting during wash cycles, accommodating various fabric types.

Symptoms of a bad temperature switch include:

  • Inability to select temperature settings
  • Wash cycles running at an unexpected temperature
  • Fluctuations in water temperature during the wash
  • Constantly running hot or cold water into the tub

This OEM GE replacement part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore branded washers as well.

Hello Ramona, This switch is the timer WH12X10527 that controls all functions of the washer in all of the cycles. You should make sure the problem is not with the knob WH01X10314 before ordering the timer.

Hello Marcell, This sounds like some stuffing probably came out of the blanket and has gotten into the area between the tubs. It will, if it hasn't already, get into the drain pump. I would recommend pulling the inner tub to make sure the stuffing material isn't wrapped around the shaft and remove all you can since it will destroy the drain pump if it gets into it.

Hello Mark. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit.
