Know Your GE Washer
How GE Washers Are Built
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
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 leaking. Clean the underside and folds of the door gasket, make sure the detergent drawer is closed and not clogged, use less HE detergent, and inspect the fill and drain hoses. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Leaking Water
- 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
