Ge Washer Parts Guides — Complete Parts Guide

Five parts guides, and the filter entry is more specific than most: on a GE washer it covers the coin trap and the inlet screens, which are two different things in two different places. One catches what comes out of pockets on its way to the pump; the other keeps grit out of the valve on the way in. The remaining guides are the control board, the door latch, the door gasket and the drive motor.

That filter distinction decides which way to work. A machine that fills slowly or not at all is an inlet screen question, checked at the taps and hoses where it costs nothing. A machine that will not drain properly is the coin trap, and clearing it resolves the complaint often enough that it should precede any pump conclusion. A washer that will not start is the door latch, and the motor and board are the expensive end of the list, not the beginning.

The door latch is an interlock, so it is replaced rather than defeated: it is what stops a spinning drum from being opened. The motor and control board are at mains potential inside the cabinet and are the second stop. Screens, traps and gaskets are all reasonable to handle.
