Hello Phillip, Thank you for your inquiry. Researching your model, we would recommend checking the speed sensor, the mode shifter, and the drain pump. You can test the parts with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.

Super loud when spinning, almost like a worn bearing or something.
For model number GTW685BSL0WS
PartSelect logo
Hello Lance, thank you for getting in touch. Check the drive transmission or gear case assembly, part number PS16729511. It might be worn out or defective. They have gears in them which can fail, causing the washer to be noisy during operation. Check the drive pulley, part number PS16554753. The drive pulley makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. If the pulley is worn out, the washer will make loud noises. You will also need to check the drive belt, part number PS11736832. The belt gets loose over time due to damage or wear and tear, which can cause loud noise. We hope this helps.

I just replaced the water valve assembly because water was dripping non stop into the tub but now the tub is over-filling and says h20 supply and then drains out. Water no longer drips into the tub though...
For model number GTW685BSL0WS

Hello Lesley, Thank you for your question. We suggest using a multi-meter to check the water valve you ordered from us to make sure it isn't defective. Typically if the washer is overflowing or if there is a leak its both caused by the valve itself since it controls the water output. We hope this helps.

Softner dispenser fails to dispense. I cleaned the inside same under the cap.
For model number GTW685BSL0WS
PartSelect logo
Hello Don, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the water inlet valve, part number PS12171559. The dispenser utilizes water from the inlet valve to flush out the detergent and fabric softener. Slow water flow will cause the dispenser to not distribute the detergent and softener properly. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Would not drain the water from the tub.
Very simple to repair. Be sure to drain the tub outside or into the sump pump then lay the washer on its side. The pump is right there on the bottom of the basket with 3 bolts. You will also need to remove the belt cover to get to the plug. So simple and saves you hundreds off repair man prices.

Water was dripping into the detergent tray when the unit was off.
Removed the control panel back plate cover. Removed the 3 screws that held the water control valve in place. I then unplugged each solenoid one at a time and plugged it into the new control valve. Once all wires were transferred, I pulled the old valve up and put the new valve on. Then reinstalled the screws that held it down and reinstalled the cover plate. Very simple job !
