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 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 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

Before the Technician Arrives

• Whether it is a front loader, a top loader with an agitator, or a top loader with an impeller
• The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the lid, around the door opening or on the back of the cabinet
• Where the washer drains (standpipe or laundry sink)

Around Helena

Most washer calls in Helena come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.

Questions to Ask a Helena Washer Technician

• Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
