What a GE Washer Technician Deals With

On electronic top load models the lid locks automatically during parts of the cycle and stays locked until the basket has coasted to a full stop. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights

The drain hose should use the included anti-siphon clip and must not be pushed too deep into the standpipe or taped in place, which can siphon water out of the washer. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting

What GE Says to Check First

• Lid won't unlock. Wait for the basket to coast to a complete stop after spinning, since the lid stays locked until it does. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
• Washer not draining. Wait out normal pauses between cycle steps, then look for a kinked or clogged drain hose, a drain set too high, or a clog shown by a Po code or flashing Rinse light. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Will Not Drain
