This guy is the Bob Ross of washers 🤦🏽♀️👌🏼 good job making this sound so simple to do 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
My was washer was showing all the symptoms related to the mode shifter being bad. Wouldn't spin, 4 series blinking light on the inverter board,
Great video breakdown on this process to replace the shifter assembly & shaft.
Short cut fix for those with stripped teeth on the shaft assembly. Pull off the bottom of the washer and remove the fly wheel. There is small metal washer on the shaft that can be removed and the broken part comes right out. I was unable to find that part by itself so I ordered the whole assembly and removed the part I needed. It took 15 minutes from start to finish, and I didn't have to disassemble the whole machine.
First the coupler wouldn't come off, so I bought a $25 pulley puller from the auto parts place, 4" i think, worked like a charm. Then, the hub nut under the agitator cone wouldn't come off despite PB blaster, the spanner wrench, and long exposure to a heat gun. It got dremmeled after Day 3 with a cut off wheel (making sure not to damage anything beneath it). I cut into each side of the washer about halfway down and that was enough to relieve some tension on it to get it off with the spanner and hammer. THEN the split ring wouldn't come off and the pulley puller was employed again and worked like a charm. If you have this thing tore down this far just replace virtually every nut and washer you come across. Give everything a good scrubbin too since you have it apart. The drain hose had a lot of water in it, so make sure you have a nice large towel when you disconnect the hose. I have entered the get-the-belt-back-on phase.
Did the drive shaft sit flush against the seal/washer after you fastened it to the base? Mine gets pulled back once i fasten it and the washer doesn't create a seal
When My WJRR4170GWW agitates it sounds like it is grinding metal. Is this the reason you would change part Wh38X10017. This is the only issue I have with washer. Thank You for your time.
Thank God for videos and instructions
Great video. Thanks for making!
Great pliers! Where can I get a pair??? Thanks!
Reading the comments, seems like I'm the only one who had the mounting hub fused to the shaft. Used plenty of p b blaster, vinegar, hot water. Letting it soak in for days and nights. Used a scissor jack and 2 x 4 to try and left out the inner tub. Broke the mounting hub. Then found out GE does not sell that part. You would have to buy the inner tub as a complete assembly. Will now part it out and call scrap metal collector to come get the shell.
I successfully replaced just the bearing in my GE clutch assembly. Buy the 6006RS which cost $15 for 4 of them. Have to press the bearing out of the frame but overall not too hard if you have some DIY skills. A very small retainer clip holds the white plastic disc in place. Once that is removed the 2 gear cylinders and spring can be removed and the bearing can be exposed. Great opportunity to get new tub seal and all the parts related to the shaft. Just got finished with mine and it is so quiet!! You can barely hear it. So happy I did this and saved over $150 bucks. I just posted a video on how to do it
Gracias amigo 😊 me ayudo muncho tu vídeo 👍
I'm new to the appliance repair industry and I have contracts with Samsung and Whirlpool right now. GE seems to be a fairly straight forward system, and relatively easy to work on. Does this mode shifter cause the unit to shake a lot when it is not working. Maybe a little description in the front of the videos on why you would want to replace it. I send my do it your selfers to your RUclips page. The bearings seem to be a big problem on these, and there are a lot of them out there in my area. With labor being about 2-3 hours for this, and the repair costs for service calls in this area, its almost cheaper to buy a new machine.
I have the same washer that you are fixing an it wash very slow what could be the problem please help thank you
I thought you said it was an easy repair. Ironically though, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single repair service that would even attempt this. They would instead come to the house and say you need a new washer, then charge you $75. Rube Goldberg could make a simpler more durable machine, but you've done a wonderful service for the do-it-your-selfer, but keep in mind that this is an intimidating amount of disassembly for most people.
The mode shifter and shaft assembly I ordered WHX38X10017 I longer the the original one now my platform doesn’t lower all the way to align with the four bolts? Can you help with this please?
Finished the job from a to z. Reassembled plugged it in, no lights nothing! Any suggestions? What did I miss?
Great video, very well done! Thank you!
