GTW460AMJ3WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Replaced water pump. Washer now works as new.
Wife is now happy!

Used a Phillips screw driver to lock the top and bottom of auger. Took a while to separate from base. Used another driver to remove old base and put the new one on with nut driver. Placed auger on base and turned to lock. Job done and works great.
Thanks

Being a woman I had to figure out tipping it in its front. I put it on a dollie and drop it down real easy.
Removed all water lines after water was shut off.
Removed bolts. Removed bolts on plate to the right to unplug old pump.
Plugged in new one and replaced all bolts, hoses and tipped her back up. Works like a charm and I saved $408 by doing it myself!!!!!

1 Disconnect power 2) Cut water supply to washer 3) Disconnect water supply hoses from supply.
***if pump broke with water in tub, remove water from tub. 4) tip machine onto it's front side 5) remove hose clamp of exhaust hose & then remove exhaust hose from pump 6) Remove pump with socket/ratchet 7) disconnect pump electrical plug 8) tell old pump to take a hike & throw in garbage 9)Iinstall new pump 10) Do steps 7—1 in reverse order to put back into business.******Be prepared to do it again in 6 months; I havnt had good luck!

Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.

Emptied the washer, took the back cover off, tipped it foward, unplugge the old pump, remove two mount bolts. The replaced the new pump. The new pump resolved the issue.

Open up the top of the washer per instructions. Remove the old switch and wiring harness. Install the new wiring harness and switch. The instructions that were provided are very descriptive so the installation went flawlessly. The switch has been redesigned and looks to be more robust than the original. The washer now works like new.

Disconnected power and water, laid it on its back, took off the belt, then took the new belt and put it on with a little difficulty putting the belt back on. really have to watch your fingers if you are not careful

Take cover off use socket driver to remove two hex head machine screws. There was a foam piece attached to the old part that i pealed off and attached to the new part. It’s there to prevent rattles. There is a tube that pulls out of the old part and a grommet inside that must be removed and placed in the new part. Connect the two electrical plugs and install the new part just like the old part came out.

Took 4 screws out of back of control panel. Tested old capacitor. Installed new one. Put back on tested spin cycle everything is doing great

First, I made sure the washer was empty of cloths and water and then unplugged the appliance. I laid a towel down on the floor just in case there was any water remaining in the drum and I slowly laid the washer on its side, I was able to do this with the drain and water hoses still connected to the washer, be careful you do not rip any of these connections or simply disconnect, to each is own. Once I had the washer on its side, I used the socket wrench to remove the 3 bolts holding the belt drive cover on the motor. I placed the cover and bolts to the side, and I began pulling off the old belt that had slipped, stretched, wrapped and ultimately hung up the motor off buy unwrapping it from the motor itself. Once the motor was free from the belt, the wheel was able to spin like it is supposed to. I installed the new belt by simply wrapping it on the motor wheel and spinning it on to grab onto the second wheel, just make sure to line the belt up correctly so it does not fall off. I placed the cover back over the belt and bolted on the 3 bolts. I flipped my washer back up and ran a small wash cycle to make sure that the belt was working properly and once it began to wash, I threw in some cloths and began washing as normal. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.

I downloaded the repair manual on line and followed the instructions for running the diagnostics. This showed that the selector switches were faulty. I then replaced the selector switches following the instructions in the repair manual. Couldn't have been easier.

I watched a youtube video to see how others performed the repair. My washer was a little different than in the videos but the inlet valve was very easy to access once I pulled the washer out of it's "nook". I took off the back panel of the control "box" (4 screws). Then accessed the valve which was held in place with two screws. The screws were buried behind a few wires so they were a little difficult to access but not impossible. I did need to use my 1/4" box end wrench as my son had borrowed my socket set.

The people at PartsSelect were helpful in selecting the right part and the repair is working fine. My wife is happy.

easiest repair I have ever made. No problems and was surprised as to how fast and easy it was to repair. I did not need two of steps the instructions stated I had to do. best purchase I have ever made.

Just follow the directions, it's easy. My biggest gripe is with Whirlpool. We moved into this house about a year ago; the dishwasher was new at that time. The house we moved from also had a similar Whirlpool dishwasher, less than a year old. Both had these roller assemblies break. The replacement parts are from Whirlpool, and of much better quality. I don't understand why they don't use the better parts when making the unit.
