Bob February 25, 2015 for Model Number GHW9200LW The little plastic Control On button is missing. If I stick a pencil eraser in I can make the washer start. Do I just need the Power On button? Can I repair it myself?
1 Answer Bob, the power button is part number WP8181860 and start button is part number WP8181861. To replace disconnect the power to the unit. Remove the screws on the back of the top panel and slide the top panel off the machine. You will need to remove the control panel off the machine. Once removed, you will remove the screws holding the control board onto the panel and remove the control board. Once this is removed you'll have access to install the buttons. Thanks. Read More...

Frank S. October 08, 2014 for Model Number Washer Model # GHW9100LW1 The "CONTROL ON" button is stuck in the "in" position. When finally worked it out, it seems to be loose and disconnected from whatever switch it is controlling. Is there a quick or easy fixed?
1 Answer Frank, The solution is relatively easy and quick. You'll need to replace the User Interface Assembly WP8181905. When you press the button, the button presses a "tab" and the tab completes the circuit in the printed circuit board. The "tab" on the interface has broken and is not aligned to the button or the circuit board. Read More...
Steve October 14, 2013 for Model Number GHW9200LW We have to keep pressing the start button over and over again.

Karl January 24, 2013 for Model Number GH92W00LQ The power button stays depressed and is a bit cockeyed - machine does not turn on. Power button or user interface? Is there somethin magic about getting the control panel off to check the button? Karl
1 Answer Hello Karl, The most likely problem would be the user interface. The User interface 8181866 has a plastic over it that has the button holders attached to it. This plastic would be what is broken causing the unit to no work properly. Read More...
Terry December 17, 2012 for Model Number GHW9100LQ My start button was sticking but once apart it is obvious that the white plastic piece behind it that actually depresses the micro switch is bad. Do you have a part number for that piece or does it come with the start switch?
1 Answer Hello Terry, it sounds like the part you are describing is a tab on the User Interface Assembly WP8181905. If that has broken off, unfortunately you'll need to replace the whole board. On this model, the start switch is integrated into the User Interface Assembly. Read More...

Reynaldo July 26, 2012 for Model Number ghw9150pwz Whenever I start to wash, number F11 appears, and the water stops pouring water. Why is this happening?
1 Answer Hello Reynaldo. "Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly. Possible Causes / Procedure 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Check wire harness connections to the MCU, the motor, and Central Control Unit (CCU). 3. Check the drive system for any worn or failed components. 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Verify CCU operation by running a Diagnostic test or any cycle. 6. Check the MCU by looking for operations of the drive motor. 7. Check the drive motor for powered rotations. 8. Check that the serial harness at the MCU is not mounted upside down. The wires should be to the left when facing the MCU connectors." Per Tech Sheet for the code you provided. Read More...
Bob R. April 28, 2011 for Model Number GHW9100LW The start button on my washer sticks and it seems like the spring mechanism is no longer working. Is the button easy to remove and replace? If I order a new power button can I resolve the issue myself?
1 Answer Hello Bob. These are not to hard to install. You will need to disconnect the power coming to the unit. Then, remove the screws on the back of the top panel and slide the top panel off the unit. Remove the dispenser from the control panel assembly. Then remove the screws securing the control panel to the frame and unsnap the panel from the frame. Unplug the wires for the control panel. Next remove the user interface from the control panel to access the buttons. Reinstall in reverse order. If you need the start button, you will need to order WP8181861. Hope this helps. Read More...
