WHDSR209DAWW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Removed the screws for the control panel and replaced the load switch and valve body in about 20 minutes. Simple fix and it's working perfectly!

replaced Tub dampeners Straps.

I had to remove top control panel and flip it over the back and out of the way, but did not have to unplug anything. I then had to remove front and top panels in order to remove the agitator and eventually the tub assembly itself. Once the tub assembly was removed, I had to turn it upside down to remove the transmissing and brake assembly as well as the mounting bracket. The entire removal process took about an hour and a half. The reassembly took less than an hour. The most difficult part was removing the 1 11/16 nut that ties the agitator to the tramsmission through the tub. It took 3 of us to hold the tub in place so that one of us could use the 3/4 drive ratchet and extension to loosen the nut. We did the same thing during the reassembly. All together there ware quite a few parts removed and a fair amounte of different screws. In order to perform this job, you must have a decent tool set and the ability to diagnose each step of the process, but it's not very difficult otherwise.

First I removed the old part (2 screws)
Pulled off 4 wires (maybe the wrong word, I'm not a professional!
Put the new part in-turned the water on and had a stream of HOT water-yay
I had been putting this off because no one in my family had noticed (except me) and with my husband out of work it seemed like a low priority, but when my daughters came home for Christmas, they said "There's no hot water in the washing machine" so I took the plunge--I cannot believe I waited that long!
It literally took me seven minutes!

I remove three screws on top of the washer, moved the cover of the machine in order to get access to the water valve, and then desconnected the two solenoid of the valve,and removed two screws that hold the valve with the frame and installed the new valve in same order a took the old one.

I removed the front cover, then unscrewed the top to expose the top. There are two screws that hold each strap, which turns out are different sizes, so I had to use two different sockets. I also had to remove the hose & plastic tube for the bleach. Once that was done, the replacement was easy, I replaced all 4 straps, reconnected the tube for the bleach, screwed the top back on and snapped the front cover into place. This took maybe 30 minutes - and I am female!

Tipped washer over on to the front side. Removed back panel. Removed the flex coupling to the water pump. Removed the old belt. Installed the new belt and reversed the process to put components back together.

After realizing I had purchased a used washing machine without a drain hose I thought I would never find one, but then I found partselect.com. After easily locating the part on the web site from the detailed diagrams and model number I then ordered it. Receiving the part quickly I used a socket to remove the plastic connector that prevents the hose from disconnecting once the washer is turned on. I fed the hose through the plastic connector and into the drain hole without any issues. I then used my one small socket to secruely fasten it back together. There was no additional tools or items needed to successfully attach the washer drain hose.

Just followed your instructions,which were very good and simple.Took old one off then put the Knob Dial on and it clicked right on..Very,Very easy

I replaced the old knob with a new one.

Basically, I just followed the instructions in the video that is posted on this sight. It went off without a hitch. Removed the screws from the control panel, lifted it up and out of the way. Then I used the putty knife to release the clips that hold the front panel in place and then removed the top of the washer. Pretty easy from there to swap out the dampening straps and reassemble the washer. Saved a lot of money doing it myself.

First, I removed the control knob by pulling it out and then used needle nosed pliers to pull the plastic retainer clip from the back side of the knob and then slid it off. I then removed the large dial knob by simply pulling it off. Next, I removed the 4 torx head screws holding on the front control panel and the whole panel came off (the 4 screws are on the top side of the panel towards the rear). I then removed the connector block from the timer mechanism and then removed the single hex nut screw which holds the timer in place. There are two plastic tabs on the bottom of the timer which fit into slots on the panel. You can simply lift the old timer mechanism out by pulling it up and out. The new timer is installed by doing this in reverse. You then tighten the hex screw and then put the connector back on the new timer. You can then put the panel back in place and put back the 4 screws taken out earlier. Next, you push the indicator dial onto the timer shaft (lining up the notch in the dial with the tab on the timer shaft). Finally, you pull the retainer clip on the control knob partially out, push the knob on the timer shaft and then using a screwdriver, push the retainer clip into place and then push the control knob all the way onto the timer shaft.

Drain tub. remove 2 hose clamps and hoses. R&R 2 screws that hold pump.
