GE washer - Excessive shaking in between phases

Check for a motor start capacitor that is defective. This can happen without external symptoms. Highly unlikely Hotpoint washer has 3-phase motor. Most household loads are single-phase. In North American residences, three-phase power might feed a multiple-unit apartment block, but the household loads are connected only as single phase. In lower-density areas, only a single phase might be used for distribution. Some large European appliances may be powered by three-phase power, such as electric stoves and clothes dryers. Three wires could be for different speed ranges or one could be frame ground.

Clunk doesn't explain much. Check your voltage in. Unit may have been wired 440 volt and your supply is 220. Make sure you have all three phases coming in.

I did the same thing, I use a long screw to move the dial, a short term solution

If you feed single phase into the line terminals, you will get only 1/3 the heat wattage. To get all heating elements working on single ph, you'll have to separate the common ends of the elements, then connect all 3 in parallel. Keep in mind, doing so will raise your line amperage x3 also. That may put you over the contactor's max rating. Another thing, the contactor will activate on only one sequence of single phase. You may need to move the line to another 2 of the 3 connections.

your problem may be the drive belt. check that first. part# WH01X10353 you can find it at sears website or service center for about 15.00 plus tax and shipping.

good luck to you.

You need a phase converter. The link below is a a selection from Grizzly. You can also find them on e-bay. There are two types - static (no moving parts) and rotary (much more expensive). The rotary type give you full performance delivering true 3-phase power to your machine. But for a minor loss in power (maybe 20%) the static type does the job quite well - assuming you don't need all of the power that your 3-phase motor can deliver.

good luck. Vote if you found this helpful. Al K

if this is a gas dryer you would only need L1 OR L2.... NOT BOTH PHASES, this unit only needs the one leg of either A 120Volts or B 120Volts phase NOT BOTH PHASES 240 volts A.C. not 240 V.A.C. as in an electrically heated element will require to heat the system, NOW ...be careful now because one hot phase is connected where it shouldn't be!!!!

Clicking noises are most often associated with bra wires , sticking in between the drums , have a good look all around the inner tub with a torch if you spot a wire sticking through carefully pull it out with pliers but dont loose it , once it goes all the way through it is neccesery to completely dismantle tub assy to remove it.
