Troubleshooting general electric top loader washer does not work at all, no LED'S light up when dial is turned, usually it lights up, I checked to power to outlet is okay,I know it's an electrical issue, I was told a faulty lid switch could also cause the problem..or timer switch?.please advise. KK

You will need to unplug the washer, remove the 4 screws from the white plastic pieces on the rear of the machine main top, remove the top by sliding to the rear, locate your main computer board in the top left, plug the washer into the wall, check for a small red LED light glowing on the board. You may have to unplug the washer again and remove the cover in front of the computer board to be able to see the light. If there is no red light your main control board is out, but this could have been caused by another failure such as a faulty stator, or rotor on the motor. Sometimes the connecting wiring from the front control panel to the main rear board will become loose and suffer damage against the moving tub. Best to have a qualified repair company check things out. Pleazer Appliance...

If this is analog timer, with dial, then there is no reset button. Check light bulb, try timer on different outlet, buy another timer.

usually motion sensor led lamp is a little different from general led lamp. the work condition will shift from general lighting to motion sensor light. The reason why installed, but can not turn off, might you install in the wrong way. You can see the installation details Pir Sensor Led Tube 4ft

If this is not your timer, then add a comment with description of your timer.

To set timer:
Rotate dial clockwise until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial
Click pins in and out to set on-off times.
Pins out, lights ON
Pins inward, lights OFF
I use pointed fingernail file to click pins in-and-out.

Timer switch is located on top of timer.
Set switch to TIMER ON

Turn lamp on, and leave lamp ON.
Make sure bulb is working.
Plug lamp into timer.
Plug timer into wall outlet.

To double check timer functions manually rotate timer dial clockwise to watch light turn on-off.

I was looking at GE timers at Home Depot tonight.
Timer ON is correct setting.
Segments up should be lights off.
You lights turn ON with outlet on, so lamp, bulb and electricity are good.

Troubleshoot your timer:
What happens when you manually rotate the dial clockwise?
Do lights turn on and off at scheduled times?
Move override switch both directions and rotate dial manually with switch in each position.
Are the segments pulled all the way up?
If lights do not respond when dial is rotated manually, and segments are all the way up, then timer is broken.
If lights turn on-off with manual rotation, then check if clock motor is rotating dial.
If dial is not rotating, then timer is broken.

The way these timers work is this:
Timer clock with plastic gears rotates dial.
Dial rotates as time passes.
Plastic arm rides along outside edge of segments. See photo below.
When segment is pulled up, plastic arm clicks inward via spring action.
The moving arm opens electrical contacts that turn lights OFF.
If dial is not rotating, or the spring is worn out, or the plastic arm broken off, or the contacts fused together, or override wire is disconnected, then timer is broken.

I test these timers.
4-6% arrive defective, and most last 1 or 2 seasons and then they break.
But they are priced low and easily replaced.

I have had this problem with two of my previous washers a top loader and front loader.Each time it was a faulty pump that drains the water from the tub after the wash cycle is complete. If the water does not drain from the tub the machine will not go to the spin cycle. Both of my washers were 5 or 6 years old when this occurred. If the washer is only 5 months old it should be under the manufactures warranty. Good Luck.

The third and fourth lights from the left indicate a failed motor controller (error code 48) If this is the correct fault code you will have to replace the motor controller. However before that is done all the electrical components which can effect the controller must be checked as well...Best to call a tech...Good luck Nomess

MY WASHER WAS DOING BASICALLY THE SAME THING. I HAVE A WHIRLPOOL FRONT LOADER MODEL #GHW9460PL0. MY HUBBY REMOVED THE 3 SCREWS FROM THE BACK OF THE WASHER, UNPLUG IT FIRST, AND TOOK THE TOP OFF. WE THEN CAREFULLY UNPLUG THE WIRES AND REPLUGGED THEM BACK IN 1 BY 1 SO U WONT GET THEM MIXED UP. WE THEN TRYED IT, AND THE CONTROL LOCKED LITE STAYED LIT. HE HELD THE SIGNAL CYCLE BUTTON IN FOR 3 SECONDS AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. WE THEN TRYED RUNNING A CYCLE AND SO FAR SO GOOD!! GOOD LUCK!

I would check to make sure the connectors to that door lock are all connected. If they are it's probably the lock/switch mechanism itself. Wow I just checked and they are about $120. The p/n is wh10x10006 You can google around for the best price. Good luck!
