Know Your GE Washer
How GE Washers Are Built
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
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

Most washer calls in Carteret 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.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.
