WH22X37840 Genuine OEM GE Washer Main Control Board
The WH22X37840 is a genuine GE OEM main control board for GE and Profile UltraFresh front-load washers. This board is the washer's central processor — it reads every button press and cycle selection, drives the motor and inverter, opens and closes the water valves, runs the drain pump, and continuously monitors water level through an integrated water pressure switch built into the board itself. Because so many functions route through this single board, a failing control board can produce almost any symptom: a washer that won't power on, won't start a cycle, stalls partway through, fails to fill or drain, or runs a cycle that doesn't match what was selected on the display.
This board revises and supersedes WH22X36637, and also replaces WH22X29532, WH22X30898, WH22X32057, WH22X32457, WH22X34659, WH22X35517, WH22X36857, and WH22X37839. As a genuine OEM part, the WH22X37840 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. Important: this board is not universal across GE's front-load lineup. It must be matched to your specific model and, after installation, programmed with the correct "personality" code for your washer before it will operate properly.
Quick Answer
The WH22X37840 Genuine OEM GE Washer Main Control Board fixes GE and Profile UltraFresh front-load washers that won't power on, won't start, stall mid-cycle, fail to fill or drain, run the wrong cycle, or have an unresponsive control panel. Genuine OEM, includes an integrated water pressure switch. Revises WH22X36637; also replaces WH22X29532, WH22X30898, WH22X32057, WH22X32457, WH22X34659, WH22X35517, WH22X36857, WH22X37839. Fits GFW650S, GFW850S, PFW870S, and PFW950S platforms. Requires programming a model-specific "personality" code after install, and the drain pump must be confirmed good before installing — a failed pump can damage a new board.

Installation Notes
⚠️ 240V Circuit — Unplug Washer Before Starting. Verify Drain Pump First. Board Requires Programming. Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning; front-load washers on this platform run on a 120V/240V circuit and internal components can retain a charge briefly after power is removed. Before replacing the board, confirm the drain pump is working correctly. A drain pump that has been struggling, clogged, or intermittently failing can send the control board erratic electrical feedback that damages a brand-new board the same way it damaged the old one — replacing the board alone, without checking the pump, is one of the most common reasons a "new" board fails again within days. Access is typically through the top panel: remove the rear top screws and slide the panel back, then locate the control board housing (commonly behind the top-front console or in a housing near the top of the cabinet, depending on model). Photograph all harness connections before disconnecting anything — this board has numerous connectors and getting even one out of place will cause a no-start or miswired symptom. Ground yourself before handling the board to avoid static damage to its electronics. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect each harness connector, and lift the old board free. Install the new WH22X37840 in the same orientation, reconnect every harness connector exactly as photographed, and secure the mounting screws. Before closing the washer back up, you must program the board with the personality code specific to your model. This is done through a button sequence on the control panel — press and release Start repeatedly until the display shows the personality ID number for your model, then confirm to save it; the control will return to an idle state once accepted. GE's official instructions (publication 99-3000289) detail the exact sequence and a Field Service Mode test if the LEDs don't flash correctly after programming — follow those instructions rather than guessing at the code, since an incorrect personality setting will cause the washer to behave unpredictably. Once programmed, reassemble the top panel, restore power, and run a full test cycle to confirm normal fill, wash, drain, and spin behavior. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, anti-static wrist strap (recommended), and access to GE's personality programming instructions for your model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to program the board after installing it?
Yes — this is not optional. The WH22X37840 is shared across several GE and Profile washer models, and it needs to be told which specific model it's installed in through a "personality" code before it will run correctly. Skipping this step, or entering the wrong code, will leave the washer behaving unpredictably even though the board itself is functioning normally. GE provides official programming instructions (publication 99-3000289) with the button sequence for your model — follow those closely rather than guessing.
Why does the listing say to check the drain pump before installing this board?
Because on this platform, a failing or clogged drain pump can feed electrical strain back into the control board that damages it over time — the same failure that likely killed your original board. If you install a new board without addressing a bad drain pump, there's a real risk of burning out the replacement as well. Before installing, run the pump through a diagnostic or physically inspect it for clogs, a seized impeller, or electrical failure, and address any issues found there first.
My washer won't power on at all. Is this the right part?
It's a strong candidate, but rule out the obvious first: confirm the outlet has power, check that the washer's power cord and connection are intact, and check the home's circuit breaker or a blown fuse. If those are all fine and the washer still shows zero signs of life — no lights, no display, no response to any button — the main control board has very likely failed and this board is the correct replacement.
What's the difference between WH22X37840 and WH22X36637?
They are the same board across production revisions. WH22X36637 was the prior GE part number and WH22X37840 is the current number that supersedes it. If your washer's parts diagram shows WH22X36637 or any of the older numbers (WH22X29532, WH22X30898, WH22X32057, WH22X32457, WH22X34659, WH22X35517), this listing is the correct replacement — it installs and programs the same way.
Does this board include the water pressure switch?
Yes. The water pressure switch that monitors fill level is integrated directly into this control board and is not available as a separate part per GE. If your washer's issue turns out to be water-level detection specifically — overfilling, underfilling, or an error related to water level — this board is the correct and only OEM fix, since the pressure switch cannot be replaced on its own.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It carries the same firmware, relay switching, integrated water pressure switch, and harness layout as the control board originally installed in your washer, and it is the officially supported replacement for your model once the correct personality code is programmed.

XPARTCO 131763256 Washer Door Lock Assembly Replaces WH10X27534
The XPARTCO 131763256 is an aftermarket replacement door lock and switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, Kenmore, Crosley, and Gibson front-load washers. The door lock latch and switch assembly is mounted on the front panel of the washer just inside the door opening — when the door closes, the door strike enters the lock and engages the latching mechanism, locking the door for the duration of the cycle and signaling the control board that it's safe to fill, agitate, and spin. Without a functioning door lock, the washer will not start, will not lock the door, may stop mid-cycle, or may display fault codes like E47.
This is a universal-fit aftermarket assembly that spans both the Frigidaire platform (131763xxx-series part numbers) and the GE platform (WH10X-series part numbers) — one physical part covers both manufacturers' cross-referenced door lock positions on compatible front-load washers. Rated 120VAC, 50/60Hz, with 8 terminals. Dimensions: 4-1/2"L x 3-7/8"W x 1-1/2"H. Gray and red matte finish, plastic and metal construction.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The door lock assembly is mounted on the front panel of the washer just inside the door opening. Open the washer door (if the door is stuck locked, use a putty knife to release the manual override latch through the bottom service opening, then open the door). Peel back the rubber door boot from the front panel edge to expose the mounting screws for the lock assembly — on some models this requires removing the spring-loaded wire clamp securing the boot with needle-nose pliers. Photograph the wire harness connections before disconnecting anything — this assembly has 8 terminals, so getting the wire mapping correct on reinstallation is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws holding the lock assembly to the front panel. Reach in and pull the assembly out through the door opening. Disconnect the wire harness plug from the old assembly. Snap the new 131763256 assembly onto the wire harness plug (should click firmly into place), position it in the front panel opening, and secure with the 2 mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back into the groove at the front panel and reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp if applicable — this is the trickiest part of the install. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle to confirm the door locks and the washer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this really fit both Frigidaire AND GE washers?
Yes — this is one of those cases in front-load washer parts where an aftermarket door lock assembly has been designed to serve as a direct replacement for both the Frigidaire 131763xxx-series and the GE WH10X-series door locks. The two OEM assemblies share the same physical dimensions, 8-terminal wire harness configuration, and mounting geometry, allowing a single aftermarket part to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Frigidaire's Affinity series, GE's WCCH/WPXH/WSSH/WSXH series, and select Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, and Gibson front-load washers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
What does error code E47 mean on my Frigidaire washer?
E47 on Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washers indicates a door lock circuit fault — the control board is not receiving the expected signal from the door lock assembly to confirm the door is closed and locked. This is typically caused by a failed door lock assembly, but can also be caused by a broken door strike (which physically enters the lock), a damaged wire harness, or a control board issue. Replacing the 131763256 door lock resolves E47 when the lock is the cause; if the code returns after replacement, check the strike and the wire harness next.
My washer won't drain and won't spin — is the door lock the problem?
Possibly, yes. Front-load washers block drain and spin operations whenever the control board can't confirm the door is locked — this is a safety measure to prevent water release and drum spinning while the door might be open. If your washer fills but won't advance to drain and spin, and there are no obvious pump or motor problems, a failed door lock is a common cause even though the symptom doesn't directly say "door." The failure can also manifest as "won't fill" or "unusual noise" during cycle transitions. Testing the door lock with a multimeter (or replacing it as a diagnostic step given the low cost) is a good first move for these symptoms.
My washer door is stuck closed — how do I get it open to install this?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because of a failed door lock, you can use a putty knife or thin flat tool to manually release the lock through the bottom service opening at the front of the washer. Reach in through the access panel at the lower front and locate the manual release lever or latch on the back of the door lock assembly — gently push or pry it to release the mechanism. The door should then open. Once open, you can proceed with the installation. Always disconnect power from the washer first.
Do I need to replace the door strike (131763310) too?
Not always, but often. The door strike is the matching component mounted on the washer door itself — it's the part that the lock's latching mechanism grips when the door closes. If the strike is worn, cracked, or its plastic teeth are broken, the new lock won't engage reliably even if it's working perfectly. Inspect the strike on the door for visible damage before ordering just the lock. Many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time since both wear together and the parts complement each other. The matching strike is part number 131763310 (sold separately).
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire, GE, or Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the dimensions (4-1/2"L x 3-7/8"W x 1-1/2"H), electrical specifications (120V AC, 50/60Hz), 8-terminal wire harness configuration, and lock engagement function of the original door lock assemblies it replaces across multiple manufacturers' catalogs.

The W11457841 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement washer lid strike compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers — including the Whirlpool WTW5100, WTW5105, WTW6120, WTW7120, WTW8120, WTW8127 series, and the Maytag MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232, MVW8230 series. The lid strike is the plastic component attached to the underside of the washer lid that physically engages the lid lock mechanism when the lid is closed. As the lid lowers into place, the strike enters the lock slot and activates the lid switch — signaling the control board that the lid is securely closed and the washer is safe to start agitation and spin.
When the lid strike fails — typically by breaking off, cracking, or wearing down — the lid lock can't be properly activated, and the washer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or will refuse to advance to the spin cycle. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11457841 is the current production part, directly superseding W11091027. It also replaces 4959179, AP6987306, EAP16218028, PD00061788, and PS16218028. Installation is fast and simple — a counterclockwise twist removes the old strike, and a clockwise twist installs the new one. Installs in under 5 minutes, no special tools required.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid strike on the underside of the lid — it's the small plastic peg that drops into the lock slot when the lid is closed. To remove the old strike: rotate the strike counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old strike straight out. To install the new W11457841: align it with the mounting hole in the same orientation as the old one, and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the retainer tab click into place. Close the lid and confirm the strike engages the lock slot properly. Restore power, start a test cycle, and confirm the lid locks and the washer begins normal operation. Tools needed: work gloves only — no tools required for the strike itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?
These three components work together as a safety system. The lid strike (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The lid lock is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The lid switch is the electrical sensor inside the lock assembly that signals the control board when the strike is engaged. If the strike is broken or missing, none of the three can do their job — even if the lock and switch are working perfectly. Replacing just the strike often resolves "won't start" issues without needing to replace the more expensive lock assembly.
What is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?
These are the same lid strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current production version that Whirlpool issued as a direct replacement. Both parts are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers both numbers.
My washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of lid strike failure on compatible Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Even though the lid appears to close, if the strike has cracked or worn down it may not physically engage the lock or activate the switch correctly. Visually inspect the strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the strike looks intact and the washer still won't start, the lid lock assembly itself or the wiring harness may need attention.
Do I really not need any tools to install this?
Correct — the W11457841 lid strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old strike, rotate it counterclockwise until the internal retaining tab breaks free, then pull it out. To install the new one, push it into the mounting hole and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Work gloves are recommended to protect your hands while gripping the small plastic part, but no other tools are needed.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same lid strike installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold)
The XPARTCO W11688995 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached.
When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Note: This is the cold water inlet valve (typically blue). The matching hot water inlet valve is part number W11688994 (typically red). When you replace one valve, it's a good practice to replace the other at the same time since they're the same age, both are accessible during the same repair, and the second valve will likely fail in the near term. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and shut off both the hot and cold water supplies at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply hoses and will spill when disconnected. Pull the washer out from the wall to access the back. Remove the three 1/4" screws securing the rear edge of the top cover, push the top cover slightly back, and lift it off. Locate the inlet valves at the back of the washer — the cold valve is typically blue. Disconnect the cold water supply hose from the valve (water will drip — towels). Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the small electrical connector from the valve solenoid. Remove the single 3/16" mounting screw (or similar hardware, model-dependent) holding the valve in place, and disconnect any internal water hoses from the valve outlet (channel-lock pliers may help with hose clamps). Install the new W11688995 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the cold supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal cold water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the hot water valve (W11688994) — they share the same access and lifespan. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/16" nut driver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes F8E1 and LO FL mean on Whirlpool washers?
Both codes indicate a water fill problem. F8E1 appears when the control board doesn't detect normal water flow during a fill cycle — typically caused by a failed inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, kinked supply hose, or restricted water supply. LO FL (low flow) appears when the washer detects that water is flowing in, but at a rate too low to complete the fill within the expected time window. When the cold water inlet valve has failed or is partially clogged, both codes can appear together. Before replacing the valve, check that the household cold water supply is on and the supply hose isn't kinked, and inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup. If those check out, replacing the W11688995 typically resolves the codes.
My washer isn't dispensing fabric softener — could this be the cold valve?
Yes — this is actually a common symptom that's often misdiagnosed. The cold water inlet valve also feeds the detergent dispenser tray on most Whirlpool front-load washers, including the fabric softener compartment. If the cold valve is clogged or failing to fully open at the right moment in the cycle, water doesn't flow through the fabric softener compartment to flush it into the tub, leaving softener pooled in the tray at the end of the cycle. If you've already cleaned the dispenser tray and water lines and the problem persists, replacing the cold inlet valve (W11688995) often resolves the issue.
Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The cold and hot inlet valves are essentially identical components installed side by side at the back of the washer — they're the same age, are exposed to the same wash cycle stress, and have the same expected service life. When one fails, the other is typically not far behind. Since the top cover is already off and both valves are accessible during the same repair, replacing both saves you a second teardown later. The matching hot water valve is part number W11688994 (red, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — is this the valve?
Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. When the solenoid wears out or debris keeps the valve from sealing fully closed, water leaks past it at low rates and drips into the tub even with the washer powered off — especially noticeable as a slow puddle forming over a day or two. Since both the hot and cold valves feed into the tub, you'll want to identify which one is leaking: shut off the hot water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the hot valve is at fault; if it continues, this cold valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688995 will resolve a leaking cold valve.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, electrical specifications, 1/2" NPT thread, and solenoid function of the original W11688995 cold water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore front-load washers.
