GE Washer #WHDSR209DAWW, gets stuck between Wash and spin - ApplianceBlog.com

***tcleveland*** · #1 June 2nd, 2009, 01:16 PM

My GE top loading washer will run fine through the wash cycle, the water will drain but the control dial stops here (at the rinse cycle). It makes a very slight humming noise at the dial. I can manually move the dial to the spin cycle and the tub will spin and then finish the cycle. Please help. I'm gonna throw you a good tip for this one. This site is the best and Jake is THE MAN..............

So after it drains the water does it spin before the rinse cycle? or just drains then doesn't spin and the dial doesn't move past that?

Sounds like a bad timer to me if thats the case.

Here's the timer for your model, in case you need to order it:
Manufacturer part number WH12X10296 is RepairClinic item number 1168689
WH12X10296

Yes, It does wash, and the water drains out, but it does not spin until I manually move the dial to the spin setting............I will order the new timer right away thanks,............Todd

Let us know how it goes.

Jake, wheres the best place for me to look for a tear-down schematic regarding swapping out this timer. I looked on repairclinic.com, but didn't get what I was looking for. Is it pretty straightforward? thanks again............

Ok Todd,

Its fairly easy to replace, just remove the top console screws#11 here, then the console panel#13 will tilt forward, then your timer is #100, just remove the electrical connector from it, then unmount the timer from the control panel, should be 2 screws that hold it in place:

Let me know how it goes.

Jake,

Thanks for the schematic regarding changing out the timer. I put the new timer on and the problem was still occurring. I just sent the timer back..........

With the front cover off, I was able to determine that the humming/ buzzing sound was actually coming from what looks like a valve(?) located at the cold water inlet. (I think that it is an electrically activated valve of some kind. Maybe part # 91 on the diagram that you had attached.(?) The part / valve? is also hot to the touch when it is making it's buzzing/humming noise. Would a bad valve cause the cycle to be interrupted if it doesn't let cold water in during the rinse cycle? Thanks for the help.

Yes, I would definitely say its your water inlet valve thats bad if thats humming and not letting water in.

Its #805 in the parts diagram photo I posted above.

Here's the one for your model you can order:
Manufacturer's Number: WH13X10024

jake,

Thanks for your help so far. I had tried the timer and the inlet valve and the problem still exists. I installed the new inlet valve and the washer still gets hung up on the rinse cycle. The new inlet valve also made a slight hum/buzzing sound and was hot to the touch on the cold water inlet side. No water enters the tub for the rinse cycle and, subsequently, the wash cycle stops at the rinse phase until the dial is manually moved past the "rinse" step. Any ideas? Thanks, Todd

Hmm, thats very odd, this may sound silly, but its happened to me before, did you take the cold water side fill hose off and make sure you have good water pressure coming out, get a bucket/container and run it in to see.

Now some of the new fill hoses have a safety pressure valve on them, have you replaced the fill hoses recently?

Other than that I'm stumped as well.

Jake
