WCSR4170G1CC General Electric Washer - Instructions

I took off a couple of screws on the back of the control panel and took off the front of it. I removed a couple of screws from the part and the two electric connectors. Then I removed the part and placed in the replacement, and put back the connectors and screws. Now the machine works great!

Pulled out washer undid control panel, disconnected timer. Replaced timer reconnected harness and replaced control panel. I had a brief moment of panic when I realised both parts looked identical and that maybe I had put the original back in, but this was not the case, when I ran a wash through the machine. I would suggest that one puts a date or some mark on the new part.

First I removed the softener dispenser then I grabbed the agitator at the bottom and with a tug completely removed it. I took the new part out of the box and lowered it down over the hub in the bottom of the washer and gently pushed it until it snapped in place. Then I re-installed the old fabric softener dispenser and the job was complete.

I laid the washer on its front and removed enough screws to fold the bottom out enough to reach it. I used a wire tie to secure the belt to main pulley and slipped it on the drive. This would have been nearly impossible without the install tool as it stopped the belt from slipping off of the drive. It was simple to turn the pulley clockwise to walk the belt onto it. The whole repair took about 1/2 hour, would have been less if I had used the wire tie at the very beginning.

took 4 screws off top of control panel, lifted it out, pulled off control knob, removed 2 electric wires ( unit was UNPLUGED )lifted up / pried up metal tab, turned counterclockwise 1/4 turn , removed plastic hose and walla ! reversed to installed. a piece of cake, less than a two beer job ! p.s, you tube has video's of this and helped alot. very very easy. now i'am taking down my kenmore elete he3t washer ( made in MEXICO of course ) for outer tub bearings. everything has to come out but i can do it ! woot woot !! and a special thanks to PartSelect for having the correct part.

This job did not take much longer than 15 minutes if that.1st take the cord or twine and loop it under 2 paddles of the agitator.( there is a small groove under each of the paddles that has enough space to put the cord in) Pull up on the cord to remove the agitator. 2nd. Under the agitator is a bolt that secures the agitator coupling. Remove that bolt. Keep bolt(you may want to replace this bolt if rusted and worn. Mine was still ok so I reused it.) 3rd pull up on Agitator coupling to remove. Teeth were worn on Coupling, So discard. 4th Insert new coupling, replace bolt to secure coupling. finally slide agitator back over coupling till locks back in place. ....Done.

We couldn't get a repair to come out - were told to buy a new because it would cost too much to fix. I did not agree. I pulled the agitator off and discovered it was not working and the agitator coupler was spinning. I ordered both and put them in myself. My washer now worked like new! All for less than $100. The service guy wouldn't eve come out for less than $175 and that did not include parts!

Inside the appliance is an instruction sheet that describes replacing the part and followed it mostly. To improve your instructions, pictures with the instructions are much more effective and easier to understand.

remove 3 screws from control panel,disconnect hot and cold hoses, remove clamp and disconect hose from valve,unplug wire connectors, remove 2 screws and off it comes. Very easy

The trouble shooting suggested the problem and how to resolve by replacing so did an appliance retail parts place. Both suggested replacing the water level pressure switch. Took only 15 minutes to replace. Machine worked fine with 1st full washing. However, the 2nd full washing the washer would not spin. Went back to the trouble shooting on the computer. Someone suggested the tube from the washer tub to the pressure switch was stopped up with lint. Took hose off and blew into it. Lint came out the washer is working fine.
