What a GE Washer Technician Deals With

Most front load models have a drain pump filter reachable at the bottom front of the cabinet, while models without front access need a technician to reach it. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting

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

Common GE Washer Problems

Local Notes for Portland

Portland Water Bureau, which supplies Portland, reports hardness of bull Run supply about 7-11 ppm (roughly 0.5 grain per gallon, soft); groundwater supply about 80 ppm (about 5 grains per gallon, moderately hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
