WH12X10498 General Electric Washing Machine 3 Position Water Temperature Selector Switch

Washing Machine 3 Position Water Temperature Selector Switch

This component controls the water temperature in your washing machine. It is useful for addressing issues such as the washer not progressing to the next cycle, failing to fill with water, or not dispensing hot or cold water. This switch is compatible with various GE products, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and some Sears-Kenmore models. It functions by adjusting the water temperature during different washing phases to suit various types of fabrics.

The rotary temperature switch enables the selection of the correct water temperature depending on the contents of the load. It acts as a regulator by directing the flow of hot and cold water into the wash tub according to the chosen temperature setting.

Indications of a malfunctioning temperature switch include:

- Difficulty in setting the desired temperature
- Wash cycles operating at incorrect temperatures
- Unstable water temperatures throughout the cycle
- Continuous flow of only hot or cold water

This genuine GE replacement part also fits Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore washers.

Common issues resolved by this part include:

- Absence of hot or cold water supply
- Washer’s inability to fill with water
