MD Appliance LLC specializes in repairing GE washers. Before requesting our service, we recommend trying a few troubleshooting tips. Check the water supply valves to ensure they are fully open. Confirm that the lid or door is securely closed as many washers won’t operate if it’s not. Clean the filters and hoses to remove any blockages. If the washer is still not working, contact us for professional assistance. Our expert technicians are ready to help with any repair needs you may have.
Follow these steps to diagnose and possibly resolve the issue with your GE washer.
GE Washer is not spinning
Here are a few common reasons why your GE washer might not be spinning:
- Lid Switch: The washer will not spin if the lid switch is defective. Check if the lid switch clicks when you close the lid. If it does not, it might need replacing.
- Drive Belt: A worn or damaged drive belt can cause the washer to not spin. Inspect the belt for wear and replace if needed.
- Motor Coupling: The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If it’s broken, the washer won’t spin. Check and replace it if needed.
- Clutch Assembly: The clutch engages the washer tub with the transmission. If it’s worn out, the washer may not spin properly. Inspect and replace the clutch if required.
- Faulty Motor: If the motor is not working, the washer will not spin. Test the motor with a multimeter and replace it if it is faulty.
GE Washer is not draining
There are several reasons why your GE washer might not drain:
- Clogged Drain Hose: Check if the drain hose is bent or obstructed with debris. Remove any blockages to ensure proper water drainage.
- Pump Filter Blockage: Inspect the pump filter for lint, coins, or other debris. Clean the filter to allow water to pass through freely.
- Faulty Drain Pump: The drain pump may be malfunctioning. Listen for any unusual noises. If the pump is faulty, it may need to be replaced.
- Lid Switch Issues: Make sure the lid switch is functioning properly. If the washer doesn’t detect that the lid is closed, it will not start draining.
- Drain Hose Installation: Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height to allow proper draining.
- Control Board Problems: A malfunctioning control board can cause the washer to be unable to drain. If you suspect this issue, it is recommended to consult a professional.
