WHDRR418G1WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

I checked the motor,it was bad I was pulling to 20 amps too much. The washer was still not working and the motor was bad so I checked the lid switch for continuity. The switch was a magnet type so with the lid down you should have continuity. In other words, a closed circuit. When the lid is opened, you should have a open circuit, Which would show no continuity. An open circuit means a break in the circuit. To change hinge bushings, raise lid, remove the screws on the outside of the lid, remove hinge, remove lid, insert new hinge bushings, place hinge through lid into bushings, and then put the screws back into the lid. If you followed these steps you should be done.

Changing the belt didn't solve anything. We took the console apart and there is a Troubleshooting Guide folded up in there. It has a Code List and a sequence to follow to determine the trouble codes. While there was nothing wrong as far as coding, it did lead us to confirm the discharge pump WAS working, even though there was no water coming out. The discharge hose was plugged.

Removed 3? sheet metal screws from back of washer head board and t sheet metal screw from timer. And reversed the procedures

Pull the Agitator out by hand no tools where needed. Took Fabric Softer dispenser off put it on new Agitator. Pushed the new Agitator on. Repair done. Sure am happy I did it myself. Service charge from repair company would have been a lot more then $50.00.

Pulled bad knob off. Found clip from bad knob still on and removed. Slid and aligned new knob on.

This repair is super easy. Take out the 6 phillips screws on the back of the control panel. Disconnect the timer wires and plug into the new timer--One wire at a time to make sure they fit into the same slots. Reinstall the timer and knob and back of the dryer and you are done. No need for a technican here. Save some $.

Pull the knob out on the machine, remove the plastic clip from behind the knob and take the knob off. Install the new clip halfway onto the new knob, put the new knob in place and set the clip all the way in. 5 minutes.

Easy I followed the video. It took approx. 15 Min. Thanks to the video I feel like I can repair anything. This is not the first appliance I fixed. Thanks to parts select.

Used needle nosed pliers to pull plastic clip off the back of the old knob. Pulled broken knob off. Put on new knob over the metal post. Put on the plastic clip back on the back of the knob to hold it in place.

ghanged the knob easy

I used needle-nose pliers to pry out the little c-clamp that held on the timer knob, then easily pulled off the knob. I used the vacuum cleaner to clear the broken plastic teeth from area surrounding the stem. Then I simply pushed on the new knob. Whole job took about 5 minutes.

recieved part in 3 days put knob in and was ready to go, good as new thanks

Couldn't get the agitator off by pulling up, then thought about it and got 2 carpenter claw hammers, inserted one on each side and puled up evenly on both and off she came. Sprayed the slots with WD Forty and popped the new on. THANKS saved us a lot of money!!!

The belt is very tight. Use a zip tie to old the belt on as you work it around the large pulley. Once it is on remove zip tie and turn the pulley enough times to line up the belt evenly then your done.

Just pull up on the knob and remove the clip with needle nose pliars. Remove the knob, remove the dial and now install the new dial, the new knob and the replacement clip. The new knob comes with a new clip as well.
