WCSR4170D6CC General Electric Washer - Instructions

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.

old dryer knob had lost its spring and would not turn on. simply pulled old knob off and replaced by pushing new knob onto shaft. voila! saved myself a service call.

Installed a new mixing value. Repair went quickly and easily. Repaired machine working great. Easy ordering and the prompt shipping impressed us Greatly!! Thank you!

at 1st, i call GE for service, but i have to wait for the next available field service engineer which is 7 to 8 days to come to my place to check on the washer. the cost is $99.00(non refundable) and then he will order the parts needed for repair another 2 to 3 days. then i decided to buy the parts myself online,and google the web on "how to fix the washer that stopped agitating" everythings in there,with video instruction. pull the agitator up and out by grabbing on to its base. inside, the knot was corroded and the o ring worn out,but really easy to remove with the 11mm socket. the coupling kit although looks different,fit perfectly. insert says its an upgrade of the old model. toss the old and replace with the new, no sweat! now it's shaking like crazy.

Removed the four torx-head screws on the top of the washer. Pulled the control panel forward. Removed the four screws on the back of the washer and the two screws that held the dual valve on. These six screws required a nut driver. Pulled the small hose off the old valve. Then reversed the procedure. Total time to replace the faulty old part was about ten minutes. With saftey in mind, disconnect the electrical cord and shut the water valves off at the wall.

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.

Viewed the step by step how to and was able to complete repair all has worked well great info sight!

I followed the on-line video with just one exception and I had the old part off in less than 5 minutes. I ordered the part on Saturday afternoon and I had the part in hand by Wednesday morning at around 11:00 am. I spent less time installing the coupling kit than it took to take it apart and had 2 loads of clothes done before going to work on second shift. I would recommend anyone needing help contact Parts Select. They were great and very helpful.

The agitator is the tough thing to remove, I took a previous posters advice and used a rope and 2 boards to pull it up. I will describe it as many short ropes but it can be done without cutting the rope if you think a lot about it. loop the a rope under the agitator so its under 1/2, loop another rope under the other side. tie both loops so you can slide a board in each across the top of the washer. Then tie the 2 loops together on 2 sides down near the bottom of the agitator otherwise they will come out from under it when you pull. then slide the boards in the loops and lift up pulling up the agitator.That is the hard part. Remove the bolt on the coupling, and pull it off. The new one had to be lightly hammered on with a rubber mallet, then use the new bolt. the Agitator slide down and with a push down it popped on. Putting the new part on only took 15 min, removing the broken one took about 45 min. Washer is woking great now ! Saved over $100 or buying a new washer !

Took the knob and clip off the dryer and stuck the knew knob on!

Remove agitator remove retainer screw and using Prybar lift off the old coupler ..... After removal use heat gun and wire brush to remove plastic residue from the splines of the motor shaft ... While the shaft is still warm line up the splines from the new coupler and using the mallet force the coupler on the shaft ... Install the retainer screw that comes with the coupler and snap on the agitator ... Done

I pulled up on the fin part of the agitator exposing the gear coupling. I unbolted the nut on top with a 12 mm socket. Once the nut and washer were removed I pulled up on the gear coupling and slid it right off. Reversed procedures to install the new one.
