WSRE5260D0WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Fortunately I watched the video on how to change the knob. I may not have noticed that the metal clip part of the old knob was still attached. Once the old part was removed, the new knob slid right into place.

First unplug the washer. When changing the tub straps first remove the magnet switch from the lid. There is a tab at the rear of the switch & then you can bring the switch into the washer & then remove the lid assy. This will save the switch. If you do like I did then you will have to install a new switch because the lid fell & broke the switch. Installing the new switch was fairly easy. Push the tab at the rear of the switch in & push the switch up. I cut the two wires about 3 inches from the old switch & then strip the wires. I installed the two butt connectors before putting the switch in the washer. Then crimp the wires to the corresponding colored wires. Put the front back on the washer.

Unplugged washer. Shutoff water supplies. Removed control panel. Disconnected wiring to valve. Removed hoses from old valve. Removed valve mounting screws (x2). Installed new valve and secured with mounting screws. Replaced washers in supply hoses and reconnected hoses. Reconnected control wires. Turned on water supplies. Plugged washer into electric outlet. Tested. EVERYTHING WORKING SO FAR!!!

remove the agitator by just pulling it up, remove the bolt that hold the agitator coupling down and install the new one.

Found that the teeth and the agitator coupler hade stripped out. Replaced the coupling and everything worked great. 10 Min and $10. 00 Fixed it up.

As directed by the book.

All I did was stick the knob on. How easy was that! Knob works every time. Very pleased with the part.

Took off old agitator, removed coupling that was bad and put new one on.
