NowGEanswerstheneedfortrue clothescare withthe PrecisionCareWasher,thefirstin a
seriesof remarkablenew electronic clothes washer and dryer systems.Unlikeotherwashers
thatchangeonlythe lengthoftimespentscrubbingclothes,the newGEwasher'suniquepro-
grammed cycles change wash time, agitation speed and soak time. For the servicer the LED's
provide diagnostics indicators for most component level parts, the control knobs appear to
the user as the same switch type controls we have used on previous front service washer.
However, it is operated by a PC Board Controller, and a two wire pressure switch that
sends a signal to the board for water level control.
GE PrecisionCare Washer is a laundry system versatile enough to truly clean almost everything
you own from heavy cottons to hand washables to dry cleanables. Specialized settings take care
of a varietyof fabrics. The GE Precision Care Washer has been designed to clean and care for
delicates to heavy cottons. And the washer is flexible enough to handle different size loads, from
a week's worth of the family's bed linens to a single sweater.
GE's PrecisionCare washer is a completely new design, inside and out. The result of a four-year
development program,the Precision Care system was put through rigorous GE Six Sigma tests
for quality and durability. In addition, the GE Clothes Care Institute was established especially for
this long-termproject. Staffed by accredited textile experts, the Institute is dedicated to developing
washing and drying methods that help prolong the "life" of fabric fibers.
The GE Precision Washer is offered in the Profile1M and Profile Performance Series1Mproduct
lines.

The electronic washer control replaces the cur-
rentelectromechanical timer and rotary selection
switches. This should improve the reliability of
the controls throughout the life of the washer.
Another important change is that the pressure
switch now gets its' signal from the control board
and does not carry line current. It is now a two
wire connection as shown on the mini manualin
the back of this service guide.
Primarydifferences from previouscontrols isthat
the cycle selection knob DOES NOT SELF AD-
VANCE. the units feature LEDlightsfor cyclesta-
tus, and have a Start button. The LED lights are
also used as a service technicians' diagnostics
tool.
Although the model change is called L2, it con-
sist of four variations. The service PC Control is
WH12X10106, and will require the insertion of
correct knobs and detents for the model being
serviced. Instructions are shipped with the kit.
.L2B-Two knob models*
.L2C-Three knob models*
(.L2D-Four knob models )(Note:this is a
separate part)
·*L25-Fieldservice control to replace
L2C or L2B.
Number of knobs doesn't include pressure switch.
