Washer stopped working
My first step was to unplug and re-plug the washer into a different working electrical outlet to see if the power-on control panel would reset itself. The washer would cycle on but within few second it would power down. After watching an how to short video from GE website My next step was to get access to the main control board by disassembling the front and top panels to check for a blown fuse located on the board. I also checked the water pump filter for sign of lint build up. The lint filter was clean and the fuse wasn’t blown.
Next I attempted to set the control panel into diagnostic mode so as to read any error code stored on the board , I wasn’t successful therefore I summarized the control board needed to be replaced.
With the new control board on hand I unplugged the washer from the electrical outlet, grounded my wrist with a ground wire linked to the house water metal pipe. I proceeded to unscrew the control board module from the washer frame, unsnapped half dozen electrical leads then extracted the defective board. I carefully installed the new board double checking all connections for proper fit. After reinstalling the top and front panels I plugged and powered up the washer, it took me approximately two hours to successfully repair the washer.
