I have a GE washer, model GTWP1800DWW.

The mode shifter coil was bad in it, so I opened it up and replaced the thermal fuse inside.
I cleared the error code for the mode shifter (4 flashes) on the washer.
Now when I plug the washer in, I can hear the mode shifter clicking right away, meaning it is being energized, and it will stay on. It does it with the washer not running (knob pushed in, lid raised). I waited at least 30 seconds and it did not turn off. Is this normal?
Is the washer doing some kind of self test or is the computer board bad on it causing it to energize the mode shifter when not supposed to?
I am afraid it will burn up the coil again.
Thanks.
