What Makes GE Washer Repairs Different
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
Common GE Washer Problems
- 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
- Washer off balance or shaking. Remove some items from an overfilled basket or spread bunched items evenly, then make sure the washer is level. Source: GE Appliances - Frequently Asked Questions About GE Washers
