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
Most front load models have a drain pump filter reachable at the bottom front of the cabinet, while models without front access need a technician to reach it. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
GE Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Lid won't unlock. Wait for the basket to coast to a complete stop after spinning, since the lid stays locked until it does. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
