GE Washer Motor Making Loud Noise

GE Washer Motor Making Loud Noise. I thought it was the gearbox but after spending $180 on a new one it turned out to be the motor. It has some sort of actuator inside (speed control). When it finally stopped working months after I posted this video, I replaced it with a similar one I bought on ebay for $75. The old one had broken pieces of hard plastic that came out the top when I turned it over. Hope this helps

Good Luck

Thanks for the video I am working on a free fix for this without having to replace the motor. I will use your video on my webpage since I fixed mine and it no longer clicks.

Awesome! Feel free to use the video if it helps.

I forgot the exact model I replaced it with. I bought it on ebay - contact me if you want the seller name. The auction description said the following: GE WASHER MOTOR & CLUTCH WH49X10035 / WH20X10009.

@buckrogers13 Has the original video been removed? I don't see a repair taking place in this video, only a video of a washing machine running with the clicking sound - then maybe without.

is GE a good brand?

I had the same sound on mine, but it was the magnetic reed switch on the door that was causing this. I replaced the reed switch and the problem stop. You can test this by wiggling the wires that go to the door switch.

Crap. Got almost same sounds on one that in my apartments.

While on maximum spinning (AFTER washing), starting to make souns like that, but MUCH faster, Did everything that i can, nothing helped. Gonna deattach it and look closer from inside.

Any luck on finding a free fix?

I am having the same issue with this GE piece of junk

[redhot916spd]

mine was squeaky during the agitation cycle, I shot some synthetic chain lube(for motorcycles) on it and it shut it up nice :)

Mine was clciking and then the gentle wash cycle and slow spin quit. this is a 13 month old washer that has been lightly used

$200 for motor on ebay, $450 to have GE repair do it.

This is my LAST GE EVER. I just had 18 month old GE Quite power 3 dishwasher stop cleaning months after warranty ended.

Not only is GE junk, parts are insanely priced. motor on washers is known to fail and GE probably has them made fo $40 to $50. they could at least sell them at cost on a KNOWN/common problem.
