GE Washer Lines and Features
How GE Washers Are Built
Electronic models sense load size and type before and during fill, and they detect an out-of-balance load and try to redistribute it, which can keep the spin from reaching full speed. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
On electronic top load models the lid locks automatically during parts of the cycle and stays locked until the basket has coasted to a full stop. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
What GE Says to Check First
- Front load washer not draining. Check the drain hose for kinks and correct standpipe placement, clean the pump filter at the bottom front, and rebalance the load. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
- Washer not filling. Check the breaker and plug, make sure both water faucets are fully open, and look for clogged inlet hose screens. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - No Fill
