WHDVH626FWW GE front load washer, belt keeps coming off

Appliance Technician — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:47:56 +0000

UPDATE !!!

I have replaced the tub pulley, and I think it’s fixed……..I can turn it as many times as I want and the belt stays on……

there is no play in the new pulley, side to side or front to back, it’s rock solid…..so the old one was really worn for sum reason………..

the tests are next, another day, thanks again for your help !!!!

I can’t thank you enough. After being unemployed for over a year and on the verge of eviction and losing utilities i finally got a job but I am still catching up on months of back bills. Needless to say, when the washer overfilled and flooded the garage, there is NO money to call a repair man or replace. I really didn’t need to be slapped back down just when things are improving.On your site, found the repair manual and the diagnosis – the air hose to the fill control had come off. This was a simple, 2 minute DIY repair that a repairman could have charged A LOT for, even for just the house call.Again, THANK YOU!!!!!

I checked the clutch in my washer after the spinning cycle and it was really hot. I ordered the clutch. I installed it today and the washer spins like a new one. Thank you very much for all the help and assistance.

LAT5004AAW Replacing the Maytag Water Pump 202203

Appliance Technician — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:23:10 +0000

OK, I did it. I turned the machine on it’s side and loosed the water pump from the machine’s base by removing 3 5/16″ screws. After removing the two hoses attached with hose clamps, the pump slipped right out and the new one went in just as easily. I replaced the new belts that I ordered and the machine runs perfectly. And to think I was ready to go buy a new machine.

Here’s what the manual has to say regarding the LE code:

The connector (3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR

HARNESS is not connected to the connector

(3-pin, female, white) of STATOR ASSEMBLY.

• The electric contact between the connectors

(3-pin, male, white) in the MOTOR HARNESS

and 4-pin, female, white connector in the MAIN PWB

ASSEMBLY is bad or unstable.

• The MOTOR HARNESS between the STATOR

ASSEMBLY and MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY is cut (open

circuited).

• The hall sensor is out of order/defective

If you have OHmed out the wire harness from the main PCB to the motor, and have checked the stator on the motor for signs of broken or loose wiring, then you can assume the PCB is bad.

Appliance Technician — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:15:05 +0000

What I do to remove gasket.

1) Use a pick or small screwdriver put in the spring at the bottom pry it out of the gasket. Spring and wire clamp will come out.

2) pull rubber gasket off the front of the washer.. fold it inside out into the tub.

3) Use a pick or small screwdriver put in the spring at the bottom pry it out of the gasket. Spring and wire clamp will come out inside of gasket.

4) pull rubber gasket off the outer tub.

To install the new gasket.

1) heat the gasket in a dryer

2) Start at the top. Take the top of the gasket insert it into the lip of the outer tub. work your way around the outer tub until you get it in all the way around..

(if your fingers are too big you may have to remove the front bricks)

3)fold the gasket into the tub inside out.

4)take the wire with spring start at the top ( use the shark clamp to open the spring) slide the wire and spring around gasket and outer tub. release shark clamp

5)Pull gasket out of tub. insert fill hose or spray hose or light if you have them.

6) start at the top insert the gasket to washer front lip. work your way around the front.

7)take the wire with spring start at the top (use the shark clamp to open the spring) slide the wire and spring around gasket and outer tub. release shark clamp

FWX223LBS0 Top Load Washer Drain Issue

Appliance Technician — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:31:36 +0000

Remove the front panel and also the hose going into the small electric pump you’ll find right in front. If something is blocking the flow, it’s likely there. Other than that, the outlet from the tub may be gunked up. In this case, fill the washer on the lowest level with very hot water, add a cup of powdered dishwasher detergent and let it circulate a few minutes, then set the timer to drain.

tip: Never use drain cleaner in a washer..it will ruin the seals.
