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
What GE Says to Check First
- Washer not spinning. Allow for pauses between cycle steps, confirm power and that the lid is fully closed, and redistribute the load if the Spin light flashes or the display reads balancing. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Does Not Spin
- 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
