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
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
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 not filling. Check the breaker and plug, make sure both water faucets are fully open, and look for clogged inlet hose screens. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - No Fill
