WSXH208V0WW General Electric Washer - Overview

Disconected power & hoses. Removed 4 screws from two tabs at rear of top. Slid top fwd & up to remove. Removed two screws from lower front panel and removed panel. Removed back cover screws and back cover. Placed sling arround tub & lifted with 2"X4" on strap placing additional wood under sling supported by edges of machine. Removed one scred and loosened mother that held spring hook in place. removed broken end and remainder of spring. hooked spring in hole in tub and raised spring upper hook on to support , re installed retainer. Went to lower side and removed plastic push bolts, by slipping a 1/2 " deep socker over front end and pulling from back with plirers.allign the holes in the new shock with the mount holes and nock them in place. remove sling from arround tub and re assemble all removed parts.

after pulling pins and installing new shocks, the washer still made loud ,disturbing sounds during use. Did some more investigating, turns out the inner bearings on the drum are bad. Apparently a problem with this model. Probably why the original shocks broke in the first place.

The knob part of the knob-timer broke off accompanied by a spring and 2 washers. Replacement part 30 (WH01X10064) consists of both the dial and the knob base, which remained attached to the washer. The knob base can be removed by turning the cylinder, in which were the spring and washers, counterclockwise. This required a bit of effort. The replacement knob-timer then screws on clockwise.
