What Makes GE Washer Repairs Different
Too much or non-HE detergent can cause oversudsing that slows the final spin and triggers a suds lock. Source: GE Appliances - Frequently Asked Questions About GE Washers
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
- 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
- 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

What Harlan Owners Should Know
