GE GFW550SSN5WW: OEM laundry parts & fit
GE Appliances Parts diagrams for exact model GFW550SSN5WW list 8 selected part decisions across 2 assembly section(s). Each entry preserves diagram position, original number, and only an explicitly shown replacement. Owner-identifiable items are separated from other catalog-listed components. Use the complete appliance label and exact model owner information before buying a part or requesting a service quote.
Safety boundary
- Use the exact model owner's manual to distinguish owner maintenance from service work.
- This page identifies parts only; it gives no electrical, gas, wiring, cabinet, pump, drum, motor, or internal disassembly instructions.
- Disconnecting utilities, opening panels, or servicing internal components may require qualified appliance service.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.
Models explicitly covered
These model identities have the source evidence listed below. Read the part decision and suffix limits before ordering.
Required identifiers
- Complete GE model number from appliance nameplate: GFW550SSN5WW
- Diagram position and assembly section for the part being compared
- Original part number and an explicitly shown current replacement number, if GE's cited diagram provides one
Compatibility rules
- GE Appliances Parts exact-model diagram page(s) explicitly name complete model string GFW550SSN5WW; evidence applies only to that exact string.
- CABINET (1) assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 655 lists PUMP FILTER WITH SEAL (WH23X38617); no supersession is asserted.
- CABINET (1) assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 656 lists Drain Pump & Filter with Microban® for Washers (WH11X29539) and explicitly says it is replaced by WH11X39237.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 113 lists SELECTOR KNOB (WH01X30000) and explicitly says it is replaced by WE01X29707.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 115 lists CONTROL PANEL WHITE (WH22X29545); no supersession is asserted.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 120 lists USER INTERFACE BOARD FL WASHER 510/550 (WH22X34938); no supersession is asserted.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 130 lists DISPENSER DRAWER HANDLE (WH01X29680); no supersession is asserted.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 140 lists HOT WATER VALVE (WH23X29538); no supersession is asserted.
- CONTROLS & DISPENSER assembly view for GFW550SSN5WW: position 150 lists DISPENSER DRAWER (WH42X29517) and explicitly says it is replaced by WH42X35099.
Never assume
- A shared prefix, family, color, capacity, or nearby suffix means a part fits another model.
- A replacement mapping works in reverse or an uncited current number fits this model.
- A listed part caused a symptom or is safe for owner replacement.
- Availability or price language remains current.
Exact-model diagram evidence
These entries are drawn from GE Appliances Parts assembly diagrams that print the full model number GFW550SSN5WW. The position shown is the diagram position, not a diagnostic code. A listed service part is not evidence that the part has failed.
Confirm the complete model string from the appliance nameplate before ordering. Similar models and suffixes are not covered unless their own diagram is cited.
Owner-identifiable parts (still check the manual)
- Position 113: SELECTOR KNOB — WH01X30000 → WE01X29707 (GE explicitly identifies this replacement).
- Position 130: DISPENSER DRAWER HANDLE — WH01X29680 (no supersession is asserted).
- Position 150: DISPENSER DRAWER — WH42X29517 → WH42X35099 (GE explicitly identifies this replacement).
Other OEM diagram-listed parts (identification only)
These are catalog-identification records, not owner repair instructions. Electrical, gas, cabinet, pump, drum, motor, control-board, and internal work should be left to qualified service when required by the owner's manual.
- Position 655: PUMP FILTER WITH SEAL — WH23X38617 (no supersession is asserted).
- Position 656: Drain Pump & Filter with Microban® for Washers — WH11X29539 → WH11X39237 (GE explicitly identifies this replacement).
- Position 115: CONTROL PANEL WHITE — WH22X29545 (no supersession is asserted).
- Position 120: USER INTERFACE BOARD FL WASHER 510/550 — WH22X34938 (no supersession is asserted).
- Position 140: HOT WATER VALVE — WH23X29538 (no supersession is asserted).
Before purchase or service
- Match the full model label character-for-character and confirm the assembly section/diagram position.
- Treat only an explicit GE replacement line as a supersession; do not reverse a mapping or generalize it to another suffix.
- Use the exact owner's manual for owner-maintenance instructions; this lookup contains no internal repair procedure.
- If the appliance label or observed part differs, pause and verify with GE using the complete model and serial label.
