GE Washer Lines and Features
How GE Washers Are Built
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
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 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 smells. Leave the lid up between uses so the inside can dry, since closing it too soon can cause a mildew odor. Source: GE Appliances - Frequently Asked Questions About GE Washers
