YWSR2100T3WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

This top loading washer was purchased new in 2006. It has had a good bit of use and was a rather inexpensive model, but had been working fine. Suddenly the agitator stopped working. First I pulled off the agitator inside the machine, which in this model came off in one piece. In order to do that I grabbed it at the very bottom by pushing my fingers underneath the base, then rocked it from side to side while pulling up on it until it popped off. This exposed the agitator gear that had gone bad. I unbolted the gear and pulled it off. This removal took a bit of effort, and again, we had to rock it back and forth while pulling up on it until it finally came loose. When the new part arrived a few days later, we slipped it onto the transmission stem, and bolted it into place. Then the agitator was put back on and snapped into place. Works as good as new for less than $14, including shipping!

Viewed the hot/cold valve. I saw that the cold water solinoid was burned. Ordered new valve and replace old valve. On my washer 4 screws held the switch panel, easy to remove and gave me plenty of room to veiw and do the repair.

I found the diagram in your website, identify the problem, order the replacement part and replace it in 10 minutes. Great deal, thanks.

Watch how to fix it on You Tube. Order the part I needed and fixed. Real simple. That is it.

I pulled the top of the agitator off (the softener dispenser) then pulled the agitator itself off. I had to pull with some force. I used the socket wrench to remove the bolt on top of the agitator coupling. I then pulled off the old agitator coupling, replaced it with the new part. Used the socket wrench to tighten the new bolt. Lined up the slots on the new coupling with the agitator top, it slid on with a little resistance. The last part to replace was the softener dispencer.

Gently turned washer over onto its front. Removed bottom metal panel (3 or 4 screws on each side). Removed old belt. Installed new belt. NOTE: The new belt is a tight and perfect fit, therefore it will not want fit on to both pulleys/ rotating discs. I have found the best method is to start the belt on the disc that drives the belt. Then place as much of the belt over the disc that sits below the washing machine drum as is possible(the spinning part)and then turn the belt by hand and the belt should pop on to the disc. If the belt goes on easily you may have the wrong belt as the belt must be tight to achieve the traction necessary for the washing machine to spin. HOPE THIS HELPS!! A screwdriver may be handy in helping to pry on the belt. Good look.

replaced the dual water inlet valve

order part. replace

I watched the video you provided and I could't believe how simple it was. I'm 67 yrs old and I just followed the video instructions.

1)Remove the 5 screws from the back panel to gain access to the dual inlet valve. 2)Disconnect the wire from the valve. Then, remove the screws the hold the valve. Then, remove the C-clamp from the valve to get it loose. 3) Then, reverse the procedures to install the new valve.

Took the front panel off and it looked like everything was OK with the transmission, etc. Pulled out the agitator and noticed that the coupler had stripped out splines. New coupler was a later design, but was backward compatible with the new bolt included. Spline slipped on with no problem and hold down bolt snugged down just fine. Snapped the agitator back on and was in business.

I used the video instructions sent to my email and everything worked perfectly as instructed.

Unplug washer, turn off water and remove the supply hose, remove 5 torex screws remove panel disconnect two wire plugs remove 2 philips screws squeeze hose clamp remove old valve install new valve reversing directions

Unplugged power cord and shut off water supply. Then removed both water hoses from the dual water inlet value using adjustable pliers. Next removed four (4) star screws on top of the control panel. This required the purchase of a #20 torq screwdriver from sears costing $3. 99 Plus tax etc. Once the top panel lifted upward and to the left I was able to unplug both electricle connections on the water inlet vlaue. Next unscrewed two phillips head screws holding the water inlet value in place. Installed the new water inlet value in reverse of above. Time to complete was 22 minutes. Very easy repair to accomplish.

We were lucky, the agitator came off on its own. Removed the coupler which cracked when a sheet got stuck underneath it! Replaced coupler and new screw/nut combo, popped on agitator. That easy.
