HTW240ASK6WS: Hotpoint GE Platform Traditional Top-Load Service
The Hotpoint HTW240ASK6WS uses a mechanical timer, drive belt, and agitator-dog wash mechanism. Timer failure presents as cycles that do not advance; agitator dog failure presents as agitation that functions only in one direction; drive belt failure stops agitation and spin entirely. The lid switch is one of the most commonly replaced components on this platform because it receives mechanical stress on every load. The washer repair help section covers Hotpoint top-load timer diagnosis and agitator dog replacement.
Most Replaced Parts on the Hotpoint HTW240ASK6WS
Lid Switch for the HTW240ASK6WS
A failed switch causes the washer to fill normally but stop before agitation, or prevents the entire cycle from starting. Testing the switch with a multimeter set to continuity mode with the lid closed confirms or rules out switch failure quickly.
Mechanical Timer for the HTW240ASK6WS
A timer that stops advancing mid-cycle or skips a stage has a failed contact or worn internal cam. Read the model number from the installed timer label before ordering to ensure correct cycle programming.
Agitator Dogs for the HTW240ASK6WS
Worn dogs cause the agitator to spin freely in one direction rather than oscillating, producing clothes that are poorly washed. Replacing the agitator dogs is an inexpensive repair that restores full wash effectiveness.
Drive Belt for the HTW240ASK6WS
A worn or broken belt stops all mechanical motion while the motor continues to run. Replacing the belt is one of the most straightforward repairs on this traditional top-load platform.
Transmission Seal for the HTW240ASK6WS
Replacing the transmission seal restores oil containment without requiring full transmission replacement in most cases.

Hotpoint HTW240ASK6WS Washer Parts FAQ
What is the Hotpoint HTW240ASK6WS and is it the same as a GE washer?
The HTW240ASK6WS is a top-load washer produced by GE Appliances under the Hotpoint brand. Hotpoint is GE’s value-tier washer line, and the HTW240ASK6WS shares its engineering platform with related GE top-load models.
My Hotpoint HTW240ASK6WS lid switch is broken. How do I access it?
The lid switch is accessed by removing the cabinet top panel, held by screws at the rear. With the top panel tilted forward, the lid switch is visible on the left or right side of the cabinet frame near the lid opening.
Why does the HTW240ASK6WS transmission leak oil?
Oil leaking from the HTW240ASK6WS transmission indicates a failed transmission seal or a cracked transmission housing. The transmission seal is a common service part and is replaced without removing the entire transmission in most cases.
What causes the HTW240ASK6WS to stop agitating mid-cycle?
Agitation failure mid-cycle is most commonly caused by worn agitator dogs that slip when the agitator tries to rotate in one direction. The agitator dogs are inexpensive plastic components inside the agitator body that can be replaced without removing the entire assembly.
