Would not drain the water from the tub.

Very simple to repair. Be sure to drain the tub outside or into the sump pump then lay the washer on its side. The pump is right there on the bottom of the basket with 3 bolts. You will also need to remove the belt cover to get to the plug. So simple and saves you hundreds off repair man prices.

This lid lock, also known as a door lock, is a genuine OEM replacement part for your washing machine. The lid lock keeps your washer lid closed during the washing cycle. If this part is broken, your washer may not run because it thinks the door is open, or it will not keep the door locked during the wash cycle. To replace this part, make sure you disconnect power to the appliance and wear work gloves.

The lid switch which signals that the washer door is closed malfunctioned. Even with the lid closed the washer would not spin because the washer was detecting the lid as open because of the faulty switch

The replacement part looked absolutely nothing like the defective part. The old part was easily accessible and was easily unplugged from the wiring harness. I assume when the new part came, I would just plug it into the wiring harness, snap some of the trim pieces in place and be done. 5 minutes. But no. The replacement part was completely different and came with its own wiring harness and length
of wire which had to be installed. The installation of the wiring harness was extremely complicated which involved popping off the control panel of the washer, prying up the top and disconnecting some other pieces to complete the install. There should have been a clear warning on the replacement part, that it was completely different and likely too difficult for a non-professional repair man.

Washer wouldn't fill, wash, spin

Use putty knife to unlock top panel from base. Remove 2 bolts from back of washer holding control section. Don't take completely off. 2 bolts needs to be removed to unsecure top from base. Lastly 2 screws hold lid in place. Remove lid. Slide top panel to left just to access lid lock. Unplug sensor. 1 screw and tabs hold lock in place. Watch position coming out so you don't get confused putting new lock in. Squeeze tabs, replace screw. plug in sensor. Reverse procedure to put top section back together.

Won't spin, belt slipping.

Laid washer on the floor to expose the bottom. Cleaned up the residual water that leaked out on to my hardwood floor. Removed the three nuts that hold the belt cover on. Slipped off the two year old stretched, oil soaked serpentine belt. Cleaned the rugged plastic pulleys with alcohol. Put on new belt. Small serpintine pully first, then rotate pulley to install belt to large pulley. Easy fix but doomed to fail again soon. Seals are Junk on the transmission. They leak oil already. Washer is JUNK. Not my first rodeo with GE garbage. It needs a new transmission to truly fix the problem. When it fails again out to the curb it goes. 2 years old, just two in the house so usage was minimal. No more GE appliances for me.

Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.

REALLY easy-
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.
