GE Washer Repair – Canton, OH (GTW460ASJ6WW)

A GE washer in Canton, OH wasn’t responding to temperature selections on the control panel. The water temperature switch on our GE washer is not changing the water temperature, according to the homeowner. We found faulty selector switches that needed replacement.

The Problem

The water temperature switch on our GE washer is not changing the water temperature. The homeowner could turn the dial to different temperature settings, but the washer continued using the same water temperature regardless of the selection.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed that the selector switches had failed internally. These switches control the water temperature by directing hot and cold water flow based on the dial position selected by the user.

• Work performed: Replaced selector switches
• Result: Water temperature now responds correctly to dial selections
