  • Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
  • If you have a newer GE front load washing machine, one of the most-common problems is having a unit that does not spin up properly and ends up failing to wash your clothes.
    In this video, I show you how to access error codes, and how to test to identify and replace the inverter (PN #WH22X35837) as well as other key components that may be at fault.

    Thankyou so much sir. I had a ge washer with the 5 second spin during testing and after watching your video I ordered an inverter board. Problem fixed. Your video made it super easy to remove the front panel of the washer and swap the board. I ended up using a woodworking trigger clamp with a reversed jaw to stretch the gasket spring enough to re-install (with zip ties like you mentioned). Great video.

    You posted this just at the right time. Currently dealing with issues with my GE front-load washer right now and this is saving me a lot of time and money. Already had a handyman come out and replace the drain filter but turns out that wasn’t the issue. With your video I’m troubleshooting the issues and accessing the error codes myself rather than paying someone else to come out just to tell me the inverter motor is fried and I need to replace the entire washer, which unfortunately seems to be the case. Thanks!

    Please consider a video on window air conditioners. What are good models. The ones sold at Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart seem to be disposables.
    I have a 98' 7800 Btu Panasonic window AC, and a Kenmore 8000 Btu that was purchased about six years ago when the stores were closing.
    The Panasonic is much heavier, quieter and blows the doors off the Kenmore.

    I really do not like GE appliances. I worked at GE Aviation and saw first hand how GE cheap out on producing parts. I also had a old 1993, I seem to recall, GE top loading washing machine which was pretty good which lasted over 20 years & used a cider block for a counter balance. I now have a LG front loader washer & dryer. I am not impressed with these. I have to set the washing machine spin cycle to medium so it does not come up with a uneven load error. When I have to start replacing all of the appliances, I will get a Samsung all in one washer/dryer since I seem to remember you gave the Samsung unit better review then the GE & LG units. Please correct me if I am wrong.

      LG is definitely the more reliable and better performing washer dryer set of the three. The uneven load error isn’t due to spin speed, it’s due to what you put inside it. If you put singular or small loads of heavy items it will easily go off balance.

    Ben! I have the wifi capable version of this wacher with the "tide" auto dispenser.
    I've used Tide's washing machine cleaner with oxi a couple times now, but I'm curious if it's overkill. One packet caused the entire machine to fill with suds. After the painfully long (nearly a whole day) self clean cycle, there were still cleaner detergent particles in the drum. The instructions state not to use it with clothes so I ran some empty wash cycles to purge it. I then experimented by using about half of the pack and it only caused 1/3 -1/2 of the drum to fill...but no detergent remained that time.
    Serious question: Is the totally full drum necessary for self clean?

    Hopefully you can answer this question and if you have a video with this topic link me to it. If you had a choice between Electrolux front loads and Maytag which one would you buy?

    Hey Ben, I just got the SQ TC5, I heard from someone else who has the same SQ that the computer board failed 2 times in the first 8 months of ownership, and that they wash some loads on hot, and the SQ is kept inside a laundry room. After my 2nd load on just warm with the laundry room fan on, I noticed it was a little humid in my laundry room. I'm thinking the natural humidity that the SQ gives off is destroying the computer boards quickly. Is this a problem, or is there something else I'm not understanding?

    My washing machine (Model Number GFW850SSN0WW) won't spin more than 5-7 seconds even during the spin and accelerated spin tests. I know my damper was bad and I just changed that. Is it possible it is the inverter board or the accelerometer? How would I know if it is one or the other before ordering the right part?

    • @bensappliancesandjunk
      @bensappliancesandjunk  Місяць тому +1

      Inverter board 99% of the time with that explanation of failure. Very rarely accelerometer, and you should see inverter board codes vs. accellerometer codes.

      Its helped a lot of people so far, and the solutions offered are known to work. We've used this solution to fix multiple GEs, and I know that this is the standard series of tests to confirm / replace the inverter if its bad. I am sorry if you had issues with the video, but I was asked to do this after hundreds of people having bad units from other videos I did.
