I notice rust had accumulated around the mode shifter and bottom pan.
Ge washer mode shifter.
Howto test a mode shifter with a multimeter.
The real problem here is ge s poor design which allows a leaky tub seal about 8 to wash the grease out of the mode shifter bearing causing the mode shifter bearing to fail.
Remove the 2 screws that attach the mode shifter to the base of the washer.
Then replaced tub bearing tub bearing washer shaft mode shifter assembly and 6 rib drive belt.
I could see water dripping down the shaft.
Reassembled and tried more quieter and like new machine.
Release the locking tabs on the wire harness connection and pull the wire harness out of the connector on the shifter.
Loosening tub nut was a challenge as it was bit corroded use of wd40 was a great help.
So i ordered this mode shifter along with washer belt tub bearing washer tub bearing split ring hub nut and supco tb123a spanner wrench.
The mode shifter bearing is pressed into the mode shifter assembly about 115 and cannot be replaced without a bearing press.
Note the position of the shifter peg.
Pull the shifter off the washer base.
Knowledge from you tube was a great help.
