Hi everyone, I haven't been on the Samurai Appliantology forum for awhile but thought this the place to ask a question about GE Washers. More specifically, we bought a GTW180SSJ0WW 4.2 washer last year only to find that the drain hose was a 2-piece design with a solid plastic tube inside the washer that mounted on the external back wall of the washer and the actual flexible drain hose 'fits' into the flexible rubber connector on the back of the washer. We accidentally moved the washer too close to the wall on the back side of the washer where this connection is made bumping this connection - and it started to leak. It's only a friction-fit with a flexible-nylon clamp that maintains the fit of the flexible drain hose in the rubber gasket with two machine screws into the washer back side. By reseating the connection and refastening the screws on the flat-nylon clamp; the drain hose doesn't leak but we can't move the washer back the 1 inch in order to close the bi-fold doors that cover the small laundry closet. We saw GE has a newer model of our older washer, by the new Model - GTW460ASJ0WW; which looks basically the same but they completely changed the Drain hose connection in the back. It's now a solid plastic pipe that comes out of a 'recessed' area in the washer's back wall panel and the drain hose CLAMPS onto this piece with a regular drain hose wire-clamp (compression) - no friction fit, no leaking... I'd like to convert our older washer Drain connection to this type but wondered if someone on the Forum knew if this was possible. I've already tried using an 8' Eastland Universal replacement Washer Drain hose - which worked wonderful for 6 months - and then the seam welds on the PVC hose started separating. I discovered that this is a continuing problem. Reason I mention this is if anyone knows of a better quality replacement drain hose that comes in an 8' length and 1 1/8" connector to the washer pump, I could work with that. I see some offered by Samsung, Haier & LG for their specific washer drains that 'look' like they might work fine but I can't seem to find whether they come in an 8' length... Thanks, greynold99

Requesting trouble shooter/ repair manual for GE washer WCV6800J1WW, Washer wont fill. No error codes present. Wiring & boards look fine. ( No Burning or scorching). No obstructions. No power to valve. Cant get into diagnostic mode. I'm hoping a most honorable Master can help this lowest of low to ascertain the process to unravel this riddle.

Looking for service manual for a GE washer (WDRR2500K3WW) Thanks
