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
What GE Says to Check First
- Lid won't unlock. Wait for the basket to coast to a complete stop after spinning, since the lid stays locked until it does. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
- 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
