My 19yr son literally just looked this up and found so much underwear and socks and is currently trying to put our belt back on. He’s taken initiative to fix it himself and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Thank you for offering this information. It’s truly awesome of you

Thank you so much, we bought this house a little over a year ago and the washer and dryer came with it. We started having this issue with the washer a couple days ago so I find this video, follow the steps and sure enough someone’s whole sock drawer and a couple skivvies were down there with a belt off the track, cleaned it out and got the belt back, works just like it used to now. Thanks again!

Thanks for your video! This got me started with my fix, unfortunately mine wasn't the belt or Thermo actuator, it was a sock that got into the drain pump, but your video definitely got me to the right area. Mine was making the similar noises to yours, when i had the front panel off and did some investigating, there were a ton of clothes in there, but the belt was still in tact and spun manually. I turned it on again, and found the noise was coming from the drain pump. I was able to use a wet-vac to get as much water from the tub as possible, disconnected the hose from the pump and pulled out the sock. its up and running again! saved me $$ from having to call in a repair person. :)

@mikeclarke952 Жыл бұрын

It's called a Termoactuator, I looked it up for my daughter's GE stacked model(not sure if you said Thermo or Termo). I just sent her this link so she can get the front panel off to tell me the belt is in what state and we'll go from there. Great video thanks for this. Cheers

You did it! Most videos do seem to blame the lid lock. But that was not my problem either. The belt was fine. But there were tons of socks down there. I think they interfered with the thermo actuator thing and maybe knocked it out of wack. It was sitting kind of cock-eyed. Also, the upper white teeth were not aligned with the grooves of the lower black teeth. I was able to line everything up and it all worked fine. Hope it lasts. But thank you very much either way! You did a great job.
