Questions & answers

Is this the same as the WH22X37840 board?

No - WH22X37840 is a different revision for other GE washers, and its power pigtail and connectors don't match this board. Check your full model number before ordering.

Is this the board that makes the drum spin?

No - the drum is driven by the separate inverter (motor control) board, such as WH22X38837 on the GFW550SSN5WW. This main board powers the console and controls the washer's functions.

How do I know the main control board is the problem?

No display, no diagnostics and 120V reaching the board but nowhere else point to the main board. The door lock, pressure sensor or wiring harness can cause similar symptoms, so rule those out.

My washer won't drain. Should I replace the pump or this board?

Start with the drain pump - it's usually the first part to check when the washer won't drain fully. If the pump and drain system are clear and it still won't drain, the board is next.

Is there anything to check before installing?

Yes - make sure the drain pump works and check the wiring harness and door lock for shorts. A failed pump or shorted part can burn out a new board as soon as it's powered.

Does this replace part WH22X37837?

Yes - it's the updated replacement for WH22X37837 and also replaces WH22X36638.

Do I need to program this board?

It may need to be programmed. Personality selection instructions are provided for the initial install or to change the setting; some board versions detect the settings automatically.

Is this a genuine OEM GE part?

Yes - this is a genuine OEM GE part.

How do I check if it fits my washer?

Type your full model number into the fit checker on this page or find it in the compatible model list. Not listed? Contact us with your model number.

Yes - the GFW550SSN is listed as a model that uses part WH22X38697.

Will this fit a GFW350SSY?

Yes - the GFW350SSY is listed as a model that uses part WH22X38697.

Exactly what I needed

I needed a part. They had it for a good price and fast shipping. They sent it with a QR code for a link to program it once I installed it (master control board). Easy transaction and I had my washer back up and running within a few days.

Works Perfectly

My washing machine control board went out. Ben's had it in stock and they shipped quickly. Thank you! I put it in today. It works perfectly. Saved me hundreds on a new washing machine. I will pursue from Ben's again

Perfect replacement

Needed a new control board for my washing machine after a storm blew power out.
New board came well packaged and delivered quick. It was an exact replacement, brand new and genuine replacement part. Price was good and competitive with other parts replacement companies but they had better reviews and I can see why. Had zero issues and will definitely purchase replacement parts for any future household appliance needs.

VERY Helpful!

Video was a life saver! I thought I was crazy when I ordered the CORRECT main board from another source and received an INCORRECT main board!!!! Ben's Appliance saved the day with the correct board and my washer is fixed and running great! Thanks Ben!

Exactly what the doctor ordered

Randomly found Ben’s looking searching the web for a cheaper option for a washer main board that will fry itself over any small thing. Ben’s had a too good to be true price but I bought it anyways. It was worth a shot. And for the first time in a long time I wasn’t disappointed. If you’re on the fence about using Ben’s don’t be. It’s legit. Board worked great. Price was great. Shipping time was great.

Thank you!

We were about ready to purchase a brand new washer and dryer when we realized our GE washer Main Control Board was defective due to a recall many years ago. Ben’s Appliance had the exact replacement we needed with quick shipping and easy instructions. Thank you very much for saving us $$$$.

GE sucks but Bens provided a great replacement

I advise everyone to avoid GE products. We have had issues with our front load washer on 3 occasions in 6 yrs all after warranty. All 3 times we needed a new control board. Bens video to diagnose was awesome, after replacing the board (with a replacement from GE direct) less than a year ago I didn’t think it was possible that was the problem again, but I followed all the diagnostic in video and replaced the board. Machine is working perfect again. Thanks

GE Washer Main Control Board

Prior to ordering this control board, I had changed a pump and another control board to try and fix my issue, but no luck. I felt like I was going to have to throw the washer out but then found one of Ben's videos. After watching the step-by-step process, I ordered the main control board and followed his video instructions. I was so excited that this fixed the issue and was happy that I supported this business instead of finding something via Amazon. Thanks again for all the help and I'll be coming back if I have another appliance fail.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

This board replacement fixed my drain issue. I previously replaced the drain pump which did not solve the issue. I watched one of Ben’s videos that stated a pump failure typically results in a board failure. I replaced the board and the washer drain not works. The total cost for the new pump and board was $212, not including my labor. A lot of money to fix a relatively new 5-year old washer but nowhere near the cost of a new one. Thanks Dr. Ben.

Excellent experience

After a recent storm that caused the electricity to flash on and off several times, our washing machine was dead. After searching around, I found Ben's video and did the troubleshooting. I ordered a new control board from them. It shipped and arrived quickly, and so far has worked perfectly. Thanks, Ben!

Fixed my GFW550S

My GFW550SSNWW died in the middle of washing laundry. Ben's video helped me troubleshoot and find out the main control board was bad. I think it was another video from Ben's that also showed me how to unlock the door to get my wet laundry out!

Tried buying a replacement board direct from GE first, since they had 20% off and $20 overnight shipping. 6 hours later they emailed be it was on backorder for 3 weeks. Cancelled my GE order and bought from Ben's instead. Wish I had bought from Ben's first!

Replaced the board and washer has been working great ever since. If it breaks again I'll complain more about GE's quality, but I'll come back to Ben's for parts.

WH22X38697 GE Washer Main Control Board

Our washing wouldn't turn on anymore even after power cycling forse several hours. The control board fixed the issue. I followed the YouTube video on how to replace the control board and check the resistance on the pump just to be sure that wasn't the issue. Washing machine is working fine now, fingers crossed. Thanks for quick shipping or the part and the video was very helpful!
