Your video just saved me a $270 service call thank you!!
Can you do a video on how to get rid of the musty smell in this same exact washer and dryer
Where can you find out about problems with the dryer
How to replace the dryer drum belt? How do you open the dryer?
I was hoping I could add a picture. I just moved into a brand new place that has a stackable washer. It’s a brand new unit brand new washer dryer stackable the same one you’re working on there. I was washing a bathroom mat a small one and just one flat sheet, and it started making a weird noise. I thought it was just lopsided. You know I thought maybe the rug went to one side and was making it wobble. A huge piece of metal fell into or was laying on top of the items when I open the washer, any idea what that is?
Can you please show me a video on how to bypass the lid lock on the washer of the same stackable
Hi. We have one of these GE 24-inch stackable washer/dryer units. While I clean the lint screen after each load, I recently noticed that when I got a flashlight and looked down behind the louvers below the dryer's main opening, there is quite a bit of lint built up inside the small chamber (in the back of the chamber, I can see a "squirrel cage" fan, which I assume circulates the dryer's air up through the lint filter in the door). I would like to clean out the built-up lint inside this chamber, but the louvers are so narrow that I cannot fit even a small-diameter vacuum cleaner hose through them. Also, while I might be able to slide a long, very skinny bristle brush through the louvers to try to snag some of the lint, it would likely take a very long time to reach in and snag most or all of the lint and try to pull it up and through the louvers. My question is: Can I access the lint chamber below the dryer's drum by maybe going up through the section of the unit that you accessed when showing how to replace the circuit board in your video? The lint chamber looks to be inside the bottom section of the dryer, almost directly above where that circuit board is mounted. Having a lot of lint accumulated in that little chamber makes me nervous... Thanks for whatever information you can give me.

Hello sir. I have this unit and it seems to not be getting dry anymore. Do you have a video for the heating element and how to replace it? Thanks in advance
Where do you disassemble it to clean the accumulated lint inside the dryer?
Thanks for showing how to enter the Service mode clearly, slowly and appropriately. The manual was a little bit confusing.
My washer isnt spnning. I removed the cover from my wahser and the belt is on. What do you think ot might be
I took the heat deflector off inside the dryer to clean and now that I've screwed all 3 back in and the dryer is scraping and thumping. Is there a way to fix the dryer and if so how do i access it? TYIA!!
Nice video. One question there is a loose metal plate on the top front edge of the washer. I noticed the other day it kind of slides left and right is that normal? Is that piece should be loose or should it be removed?
I purchased this same unit brand new with gas dryer and it took over a year before I actually installed it due to being in a second home and now installed the gas dryer works but the washer does nothing does not even turn on the lights on the panel. Not sure if I missed something but this thing is brand new. Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Same thing with mine
Same thing is happening with mine. Trying to figure out what it could be. I’m thinking maybe a fuse but not sure
I had to swap out the control panel. When I opened up the middle panel between the washer and dryer I noticed signs of the control panel being fried. Must of been a power surge. It has been working fine since then.
Could you please show me how to access the rear suspension rods?
Thank you for posting this! I'm currently working on a unit like this and this exact error code is showing on the unit (the service sheet does not indicate that this set of flashing lights is a critical error, i don't know why).
Thank you for your video. It helped me troubleshoot and fix my washer/drier combo.
I have almost the exact same unit. When I push the dryer start button, there is a buzz but it doesn't start. If I start the drum turning and press the start button, it will run. I thought it would be because of a faulty startup capacitor but can't find one. There are a couple of small ones on that board though. Is the board the cause of the problem or am I missing something else? Thank you.
I've done some more research and learned all the startup parts are integral to the motor. That appears to be the problem.
What does it mean when none of ur light will come on and the washer doesn't work but the dryer does
Thanks for posting this.
I have one that a technician repairing cut all the cables that go to the board, where can I find a photograph or connection diagram?
We are having a problem where the Dryer works fine, but the Washer doesn't appear to get any power whatsoever. The Diagnostic test doesn't do anything. No lights light up at all. Any help? Board? fuses? help? Thanks!
Same thing here with mine
Check the sensor on the lid when closing, or the power button
Thanks for the video! Nice work.
My stack washer only works in delicate cycle. What can cause this issue
Thanks for posting this. When I do the diagnostic test with pressing start and deep rinse then turn dial to 6 oclock (heavy) the lights do not flash. The rinse, spin and wash light up steady green. I noticed there is a data port down under the dial. Does that mean this model must be plugged into a diagnostic tool for diagnostics? Perhaps a manufacturers attempt to short circuit repairs by property owners?
did you ever figure out what it was ? Running the same issue.
Is there a lint filter in the washing machine & where is it?
Hi there
I’m having trouble with the dryer not heating enough to dry , I feel some heat at the touch on the side but clothes are not drying, any advice
Thank you
Do you have a video or information to show how to properly deep clean the washer machine? Especially how to remove the agitator to deep clean the bottom of the washer barrel?
Yes I’m also looking for a video on how to remove the agitator!
I need the video on the trouble shooting process
Great video. How can I have separate power cords for the washer and dryer? Currently my GE stackable washer and dryer combo had only one cord. However I understand the washer and dryer have separate circuits so in theory is it possible to separate the power input such that the washer and dryer each has it own separate power cord? Thanks.
Do all stackable units have the hoses in the front I have a leak when it drains on one side of the unit and do most front panels come off to expose the hoses and pump
It would be nice if you could show how to clean the lint out from inside the grate in the front of the dryer. That is, take it apart and clean it.
So what if the lid lock is broke and I’m trying put the pieces back after a failed attempt to get the machine working
My GE stackable dryer stops after 10min. When I wait another 10 minutes I can restart the dryer but it still will not complete any drying cycle. What's wrong?
So if lights don't come on when do test then motherboard does need replaced?
Where is the filter for the washing machine located?
can you put a video on how to clean out the dryer.
Just got out washer about 2months ago. Minimal use as it’s in the vacation/weekend house. Washer will not turn on , no lights or sounds. The dryer works fine but nothing in washer. Any advice? Thank you
Did you find any resolve? We are having the exact same problem. Appears no power to washer. Dryer works fine. Appreciate any help!
@@steve-ot6296 Were you able to fix. I have the same problem. No power at all to washer but dryer works fine
@@MrMURMOD did you find a solution
Dryer of GE stackable Washer/Dryer Combo isn't heating properly. Is there a video I can watch to troubleshoot the issue ?
Need help... my washer sounds like the tub when spinning is bang around and making a loud banging noise. Anyone having same issue
Did you find out what it was? Mine is doing this and bouncing around like a basket ball
Nice video. Is there a replaceable buzzer or chime, and does anyone know what it's supposed to sound like? The manual says a chime should sound at the end of the drying cycle, but mine doesn't...
Is the agitator removable? Mine is moldy and in desperate need of a deep clean but I can’t reach!
On my unit, i cleaned it by removing the fabric softener cup in the agitator, which allowed me to clean in there..
I have the same unit and my washer works but there’s no power to the dryer and it’s a brand new unit . What could it be ?
So when I took off my front of the washer - I found a ton of socks from what appears to be from a previous resident in my apartment… And then as I was cleaning them out, I found a belt that looks like it belongs on something around the bottom of the washer/drum… Can you help?
you should have a 1 year man. warranty.
Have one of these GTUN27 that pauses randomly during cycle. I have to hit start to get it to continue in wash cycle. I replaced the board and start button to no avail. No codes come up. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!! I am a repairman.
What if the dryer doesn't work?
Great concise vid. Have you made a video on how to convert the GUD27GSPMDG to propane? I'm soon to own this unit but must convert to propane. I'm hoping you have already made the tutorial!!
Did you ever convert it to propane I’m trying to do mine propane and it’s not heating up
Can I convert the dryer to propane?
How do you replace the belt on a unit like this?
What's the part number for these? Was that the control board?
Was this washer not starting? Or different problem
Want to start off letting you know I am a retired divorced woman on a pretty tight budget, That being said, I am having trouble with my GE stackable and after watching countless videos I learned how to diagnose. The issue seems to be when switched in diagnosis mode when clicked to heavy after a few minutes it works but when it is switched to light it does nothing. The rinse and spin lights are green. My understanding is that the problem is with the drain pump. It does not appear to be clogged from looking at it (unless I need to take those hoses off to know for sure) Is it possible for you to post a video on how to change the drain pump? I would greatly appreciate it. Either way, thank you for posting this video. Sincerely Margie
Dryer works fine. Washer NOTHING! No lights.... cannot even run diagnostics. Where do i even start? Noticed several people have asked same question with no response. Please help?
I’m having the same problem, were you able to fix it?
The washer is working but the dryer won’t start. Is a fuse box somewhere only for dryer? Because I heard a sound seems like fuse off.
Same I want to know! My dryer doesn’t start
No answers on the dryer mine spins but not heat.
@@rafaelortega6377 Same issue with mine. Have you figured out how to fix the problem? I would really appreciate any help i can get
Mine isnt filling just a click. Has water source and power. Any ideas? I dont think its lid sensor
what is the cause of low flow water? we have both hot and cold water so its not the valve. could the tube be clogged with a sock or bended somehow?
We just got a repair on this unit (entire drum/transmission assembly replaced). Machine is now working fine but during the spin cycle, there is a really loud flapping noise. Sounds like the drum might be hitting off something when it's in high spin mode. Any suggestions for what to check? Thanks!
my unit has trouble starting the spin cycle. It makes a groaning noise and rotates the motor only half a turn at a time. Until it finally starts. Any suggestions???
How do you access and repair the dryer? My unit leaves black streaks on my clothes. A video that addresses that problem would be helpful.
Where can I get the motherboard at
Thank you for this
After watching this video I’ve decided to trash this GE stackable and buy LG stackable 😂
Thank you. Really helpfull
Thank you

My ge stackable washer dont spin and and Drain Out. how to fix it
Hi. Would you recommend a GE spacemaker washer/dryer combo to other people in terms of reliability/ durability?
Based on my experience with the GE washer and dryer combo I would recommend it I have had mine for 5 years with no problems at all
Hi there I was wondering if it was possible to vent this unit indoors? My landlord is installing this exact model and he is intending to vent it indoors. I was reading over the manual and it said this unit is only able to vent outdoors, but he insists its safe to vent indoors. Please let me know what you think thanks!
That’s a bad idea
How do you fix the dryer part ?
I REPAIRED MINE BY TRICKING THE WASHER INTO THINKING THE that the switch was in fact working simply by connecting the two wires together , using wire connectors and a fair amount of black tape , because black tape matters in this installment, vibration from spinning and agitating, millions of times= coming un done, i have been bypassing safety switches so long that when i get something new i go ahead and disconnect the safety switch on everything, i call it getting ahead of the problem, everyone else calls it NUTS OR crazy, and those very same people are the ones that keep tearing up my damn washer by overloading it, usually within an hour of me giving a speech on why they should never be allowed to use anyone's washer or dryer, and to never use mine without me to babysit you washing clothes in said washer.
Hello, where can I purchase this exact control board?
Where is the thermal fuse on that model ? My dryer will not do anything.
How do u know where exactly the clips are in front
Hi.. my dryer is working fine but there are no lights on washer, nothing works.. what could be the reason?
Did u never find out why ur washer wasnt working? I have some problem. No lights mothing!! I can't afford repairman and would like to fix myself. Think you.
@@tinajohnson8968I’m having the same problem, were you able to fix it?
Are you able to show how to replace the drain hose on this?
That's exactly what I'm trying to research and have found nothing.
How do you open the locked lid to the washer ???
How can you access the dryer to change drum baffle?
Why isnt my black hose attached to anything?

Do you known how to replace the inlet valve?
Thank you! Great video!
Very helpful, t/y.
I started taking us apart because the washer is not draining… Not sure if the belt has anything to do with it, I can't tell if there's already another one underneath there anywhere
Did you find the problem and if yes please tell me
My machine is making sounds like it’s a depressed ghost. It’s sighing and moaning. What would be the cause? It’s creepy!
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE FRONT OFF OF GE WSM2480D3WW. DOES NOT
HAVE THE CLIPS LIKE THE VIDEO. I NEED TO REPLACE THE LID SWITCH.
So what if your washer will not wirk in spin cycle.
How about the dryer? It makes the initial nosie then stops.
I’ve got the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Can you please help me I have a GE doublestack washer dryer that want drain or spins its older one
It’s the lid switch that’s went bad
mine won’t troubleshoot 😩 help ??
My dryer doesn’t want to start. It’s the same washer and dryer. The washer starts but not the dryer any clues?
Check the video on GE Replacing the Relay it may help ya.
Can anyone give me tips on how to remove a penny from this machine, thank you.
How to fix spinning switch
GE #GUD27ESSMWW I get two squirts of water starts to spin shuts down?????
d wiSame here, and of course, the warranty just ran out. I shut the machine off, but it just randomly started by itself, and I had to unplug it! I believe it started with an uneven load.
Just a note. I had all the Light issues, went thru every sensor, every wire. Pulled the unit out, hoses good. Pulled it out a little further... omg, the installer put the Drain hose about 2 feet into the drain line. THIS WON"T WORK. During Fill, it overflows (siphons) the fill water to drain, and times out.
Replace with the Old J and fasten to drain. Installation instructions say it should be about 12 inch above water level.
No Codes again!
NEXT
Black marks from dryer.....it's the dryer bounces and clothes pass over the felt seals around the perimeter.
For now, ran a cloth around with a screwdriver to clean debris..yep,,, black.
GE needs a new seal arrangement...bad design.
The dryer won’t start
Can you separate these in case of moving them up a set of stairs?
Washer will not agate
You should get a portable drill. It’ll be faster and easier. Especially if you’re making videos on UA-cam.
There is absoilutely no way to compare and talk about the difference with separate W/D units manufactured in the early 1980s and before..basic MAYTAG&WHIRLPOOL designs, EZ to fix, and rarely necessary to do so. Enjoy
No, you're doing it wrong! There's nothing wrong with that mother board. When you are trying to put it in troubleshooting mode you are doing it incorrectly. Read the washer-dryer instructions! They say hold start and turn knobs 6 positions. You should take this misleading video down!
