"How to check & replace the power cord"

Home Questions Useful Links Parts

The GE washer cord is the main line to connect the washer to the electrical wall outlet. The cord has three prongs, the live one, the neutral one and the ground one.

The major problem with the cord is the the plug terminals burnt out. If the problem with your GE washer is that is dead, won't do anything, check the cord plug for burnt terminals.

The reason that the GE washer cord terminals burn out is a loose wall outlet. When you find the the terminals on the cord plug are burnt out, before replacing the cord, you will need to have the wall outlet replace as well.

If you need to replace your GE washer cord because the connecting plug is burnt out, you could order a new replacement cord and install it, or you could get one of those Grey appliance extension cords that are rated at 15 amps and cut the bad cord and splice it to the old cord.

I recommend to solder the connections to make sure that it is a good connection and use good electrical tape or insulating shrinking tube.

If you are going to use the extension cord to repair your cord, make sure to do a good job to minimize the chance of fire hazard. If you are not sure that you could do a good splicing job, get a new cord.

Another way to correct the burnt cord plug is to replace the plug. You could buy a heavy duty cord plug and replace the burnt one.

We hope that this GE washer cord page be of help to you.
