  • How to take apart a GE topload washer or more specifically, how to take the front and top panel off on a GE top load washer. Our washing machine started banging a little when in final spin. I found that one of the dampening straps had ripped. Will need to get a new one. We filmed this video quick since I was disassembling it anyway.

    Thankyou so much! I’m glad there’s content like this, that normally people don’t think about but it is definitely much appreciated when a problem arises and you don’t know how to take apart machines.

    I suggest removing the control panel and disengaging it from the top instead of risking breaking the lid taps.

    Hey Jay where can I get the rubber straps

  • @aarongray503
    @aarongray503 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hey Jay what was that rubber piece called. I'm having similar issues. It sounds like the monsters from stranger things are breaking through. I have a Admiral which I believe is owned by maytag.

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Aaron! Are you talking about the rubber straps? ( amzn.to/2UDEsLq ) I think only GE washers have them.. But I may be wrong. Did you visually check and try to find where the banging is happening (look for scuffs or little dents)

  • @greglewis3382

    How do you take that white plastic thing off the top of the drum? Mine is full of water, is it supposed to be?

    @bromandave7381 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey thanks for the video. I have a different model (Model# GTW335ASNWW) but it's also a ge top loader. Is it safe to assume that the front panel is similar as far as the 2 clips in roughly the same position?

    • @Lycurgus224
      @Lycurgus224 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I can confirm, with the top loaders they're all in roughly the same place.

  • @amontef1
    @amontef1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video on showing how to open the washer panel. My washer was banging noises, and I checked all 4 straps and they looked good. Why else would the washer tub be banging around like that?

    • @loisyoung2372
      @loisyoung2372 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is possible that one of the suspension rods, that the tub is suspended from has gotten bent. Even a small bend will do it. The easiest thing could be the ball and socket that holds the rods. They are supposed to move freely, there is grease in the socket, if the grease is sticky that can cause it. If they are damaged at all replace them. If the grease is nasty clean thoroughly and regrease. It takes strong hands to lift the rod out of place to repair. Make sure to do one rod at a time or you will have to lift every thing with one hand.

      Thank you for not explaining for ten minutes why I might want to open my washing machine and getting straight to the point. I obviously was looking up how to get in there that is how I found your video.
      Seriously short sweet and to the pint

    How about washing machines that don't have a front panel, it just goes all the way around to the back & is seemingly impossible to deal with ugggghhh

    @garthornspike3648 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yeah. A typically over-priced piece of junk constructed of inferior parts that aren't intended to last long.
