GE Washer GFW650SPN0SN - Need personality code for control board

[Fletcher00]

Hello, I need help with my GE Washer. I recently ordered & installed a new main board (WH22X30898) for this washer and the main board seems to be working. However, when you install a new main board in this washer, you need to input a personality code to tell the board what model it's in. My board did not come with the instruction sheet that, as far as I can tell, is supposed to be included to tell you what code goes with which model number. I've been searching high and low, all over the internet and calling GE service and just can't find this thing anywhere. Would anyone be able to help me find this code? I would be forever grateful. Thanks for reading.

Here is an example of the instruction sheet for a board that isn't mine: https://f01.justanswer.com/smitty1486/a932dc4f-7fd2-469f-9e84-912587639643_WH18X27754_Programming_Instructions.pdf

Hello, I have a similar issue.  I just replaced the main control board (Part # WH22X35517) on my GE Washer with part # GFW650SSN0WW.   It did not come with any instructions, but I was able to figure out the installation.  I powered on the unit, it showed the number "1" for awhile and then went to a normal screen.  The washer works, but it seems to be missing multiple cycles when I rotate the know.  I am wondering if I alos need to set the personality code, but I can't seem to find what the code should be anywhere.  Do you know what the peronsality code might be?  Would this possibly fix my issue?

Different model but same code 3:

1. Press and release the Start button. LED’s will stop flashing and the display should show “0”.

2. Press and release the Start button until the display shows the number of the personality ID needed.

   ▪ When the end of the ID list is reached the control will wrap around to the beginning of the personality ID number list.

GFW650SPN0**	3
GFW650SSN0**	3
GFW850SPN0**	4
GFW850SSN0**	4

3. Press and hold the Start button for three seconds when the correct personality ID number needed is in the display.

▪ This will save the personality ID number and the control will go to an idle state.

NOTE: If an error is made programming the Main Board or the LED’s are not flashing, enter Field Service Mode as shown on the last page of these instructions. Use service mode test 17 to enter the correct personality.

If it's the same exact model then the personality should be the same.

I have the GE Washer Model #GFW850SPNRS.  The control board (#WH22X36637) was replaced.  The washer works but the Power and Start/Pause lights no longer work and I can no longer access the Power Clean and Self Clean cycles.

When I hold down the Start/Pause button for 10 seconds, the lights flash (including the Power and Start/Pause lights) and then #38 and Door Lock flashes.

Please help.

Seem to be having the same issue. I have a PFW950spt0ds  front load  Ge Profile washer and replaced the board. Controls are skewed and believe I need to Change the personality code. Where can I find that info

Put knob at 12 o'clock position hold start while turning knob to 6 o'clock position and let go of the start button. Press start until you get to personality 6 then hold start to store it.

After you get into the menu turn the dial to get to test 17 after the knob rotation and letting go start. Forgot that part
