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
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

Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.
