Lid Switch - GE WPRB9250 Technical Service Manual

Tub With Motor and Transmission
Note: The motor can be replaced without removing the
tub. Refer to the Motor section. The tub must be
removed when replacing the transmission.
To remove the tub with motor and transmission:
1. Remove the spin basket (see Spin Basket).
2. Remove the hub ring from the transmission.
3. Disconnect the motor harness connector, the frame
grounding wire, and the water pressure switch hose.
4. Pinch off the drain sump hose to prevent water spills.
5. Disconnect the drain sump hose (black hose) at the
pump.
Note: The front and rear rod and spring
assemblies have different spring compressions
and should not be interchanged (front - yellow,
rear - white).
6. Disengage the front rod and spring assemblies by
raising the tub and removing the spring assemblies
from the leg and platform assembly.
7. Disengage the rear rod and spring assemblies by
raising the rear of the tub and removing the spring
assemblies from the leg and platform assembly.
8. Push the top of the tub assembly toward the rear of
the cabinet, then pull the bottom of the tub assembly
out of cabinet.

Lid Switch

Note: Also refer to Lid Switch Diagnostic.
The lid switch is fastened to the cover/lid assembly by a
single latch. It is a safety feature that prevents the
machine from agitating or spinning when the lid is open.
The switch is closed by a magnet that is attached to the
lid. When the lid is shut, the magnet will cause the
switch to close the circuit to the electronic control board,
allowing normal functions to occur. When the lid is
opened, the switch will open the circuit, which will
prevent agitating or spinning.
If the lid switch fails to open, (due to a failed lid switch,
missing magnet on the lid, or not raising the lid) for 3
consecutive cycles, the unit will enter the lid switch
redundancy mode when a 4th cycle is attempted: The
unit will beep twice, log the lid switch error code, and
disable the machine. When the lid switch opens, the
redundancy mode will be reset, restoring machine
function; however, the lid switch error, will remain logged
until it is cleared from the error codes function of service
mode.
