What a GE Washer Technician Deals With
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
The drain hose should use the included anti-siphon clip and must not be pushed too deep into the standpipe or taped in place, which can siphon water out of the washer. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
