did you find out the answer to this by chance

I had the same issue, and could not get it in the same way. Just had to put it straight in, instead of rotating it like he did.

You probably have a GE High Efficiency (Water Saving) washing machine. Mine only fills half way also. Bummer!

Have you found out yet?

To the producer of this video, please answer this person's question.

It's possible the replacement motor has its own short/overcurrent protection. I ran into a problem where the machine would fill, then just sit there until the timer advanced to drain, refill, sit dead again and then drain again. I found out that the blinking status light on the motor circuit board was dead. I used the wiring diagram to see if the motor was receiving power. There was power present but the wiring diagram indicated a fuse on the neutral side of the motor. I couldn't find it. I looked up the replacement fuse and found out it was an inline fuse wrapped into the taped harness. I cut it out and put a universal automotive fuse holder and installed a 10 amp fuse. It worked perfectly. On second thought, perhaps they have you jump the fuse before you find out it was the fuse all along and not the motor. I am watching this video now because I have another "no flash" condition but this time my fuse is good. If the motor is out it's not worth fixing the machine. This motor is direct drive to the drive pulley. There is no transmission. Agitation and spin are controlled by a "triac" circuit in the timer. There is a possibility that that portion of the timer is bad. I believe the motor's power is independent of the timer, hence the flashing light. The timer is used only to control the motor.

WH20X10093 is a direct replacement for WH20X10092, so it isn't exactly the same part. The manufacturer may have made changes, but WH20X10093 is compatible with models that used WH20X10092.

I also wonder about removing the fuse. Why do this?

Probably the new version of the motor either has an internal fuse, and/or the original external fuse does not have a high enough or slow enough rating for the new version of the motor. ...And, I'll betchya the reason they put a fuse internally is because people were jumping blown fuses, creating a hazard.

I now see the price, 200-250, wow, not cheap.

You are correct, this is a replacement video.

It is very expensive.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.
