Washer is showing no sign of power to display. I check outlet for 120 volts all good

The panel will not light up or do anything in order to use the washer
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Angie, thank you for reaching out. It sounds like the washer isn’t getting power. Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the washer and into a working outlet. Disconnect power to the washer by either unplugging it or shutting off its circuit breaker. Wait at least five minutes, then restore power. This can clear any electronic errors from the control board. If these steps do not help, then the issue might be with the control panel, part number PS16743397. We would suggest inspecting it. We hope this solves your problem!

Washer stopped working

  • 1- 2 hours

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 disasse mbling 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.

Washer running but not draining

Followed YouTube instructions to lay the machine on its back, for easier access to the pipes and drain pump from the exposed bottom of the machine. Cleared the pipes first of a slight clog in the filter, turned the machine upright again, but it still did not drain. Laid the machine on its back again, after ordering a new drain pump, and f itted the new pump. Again, it did not work, but left the new pump in and ordered a new control board. Fitting a new control board involves detaching the control panel and cabinet top, which is not hard, then extracting the old control board. Taking off the wiring clips turned out to be significantly more difficult than re-connecting them when the new control board arrived. Fitting a new control board can easily be done with the machine upright. This time the draining did work, yay, and the washer is now fully functional again.

Pump Replacement

The first thing to get is a baking sheet/pan and a bucket. You'll want to get it as close to the drain as possible. Be ready for ALOT of water to be in there. Ease it out and dump the water into the bucket until it's all out. Next you'll have to prop up the front of the machine at least 4 or 5 inches. You'll need pliers to loosen the hos e clamp. There's only 4 screws so it's pretty easy, but you'll only be able to see the 2 in front. The other 2 you'll have to feel your way thru it.
