Outer Tub And Suspension Assembly - GE Profile Harmony WPGT9360 Technical Service Manual

To determine the temperature of the incoming
water, the washer control measures the difference
between the voltage sent and the voltage returned
from the water temperature sensor. The washer
control then makes temperature adjustments
accordingly.
The washer control should maintain the water
temperature in the tub within +/- 5°F (3°C) by
opening or closing the hot and cold water valves.
The thermistor has an approximate resistance value
of 121K Ω at 70°F (21°C).
Approximate resistance values at:
63F° (16C°) Cold water-130.8K Ω
•
80F° (27C°) Warm Water- 87.4K Ω
•
112F° (40C°) Hot Water- 41.3K Ω
•
140F° (49C°) Very Hot Water- 23.0K Ω

Resistance can be measured at the purple 2-pin
connector on the inverter board. Make sure to
unplug the connector to isolate the thermistor
before taking resistance readings. (See
Main Board Pin Connectors.
To remove the thermistor:
1. Remove the 4 Phillips-head screws (2 on each
side) that hold the back cover in place. Remove
the back cover.
2. Disconnect the wiring connector at the
thermistor.
3. Remove the 2 Phillips-head screws that hold
the thermistor to the bottom of the outer tub.
Remove the thermistor.

Outer Tub and Suspension Assembly

The wash basket, outer tub, and motor are
suspended by four rod and spring assemblies. The
rod and spring assemblies are attached to each
corner of the washer cabinet. They extend down
and connect to the bottom of the outer tub.

To remove the outer tub:
WARNING: The outer tub assembly is heavy and
requires two people to remove it from the washer
housing. Care should be taken when removing and

Note: Water will remain in hoses even when the tub
appears empty. Use care to avoid water spills.
a. Squeeze the clamp and slide it back.
b. Carefully break the hose loose.
c. Remove the hose.
3. Lift the outer tub up and disengage the
suspension rod assemblies from each corner of
the outer tub.
4. Pull the outer tub assembly out of the washer
cabinet.
Caution: Care must to taken when reinstalling and
sealing the drain hoses to the outer tub to ensure
there is no water leakage.
