Drain but doesn't wash
For model number WHRE5550K2WW

Hello Desmond, Thank you for the question. In order to trouble shoot this issue we will need a bit more details. When you say it will drain but not wash, is it going right to fill and then drain and skipping the wash cycle, or is the timer going through the wash cycle but the motor is not running to agitate and spin? When it drains, does it spin first or go right to drain? Any other details on the symptoms? Does the motor make any noise during the wash cycle? The more details the better since we can not be with the appliance. Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

It is making a bad grinding sound, it doesn't want to go.
For model number WHRE5550K2WW

Hello Jeff, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the tub bearing, part number PS271510. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the drive pulley, part number PS1482349, and/or the drive belt, part number PS1482278. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!

Put a large blanket in washer and the gfci breaker tripped. Load never finished washing. Keeps tripping circuit. Could this be a bad motor? Could I please get the part number and price of a new motor. Could any other electrical parts be causing it to trip?

Hello Joe, Thank you for the question. Tripping the Breaker is normally caused by a defective Lid Latch Switch. You can test the Switch for continuity while the Lid is closed.

My GE washer puts water in but dose not cycle
For model number WHRE5550K2WW

Hello David, Thank you for the question. If the washer fills but does not start the Wash Cycle, there is no sound from the motor trying to agitate it could indicate a faulty Timer Switch. The Timer is built into the control board for this model so the Electronic Control Board would need to be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Washing Machine was not draining water from tub.
1. Drained the wash tub by taking the drain hose from the back of the washing machine and dropping it below the tub - water flowed out of hose a lot easier than trying to suck water out of tub using a pump (tried this on the first time I tried to fix washer). (Washing machine on 2nd floor of house and didn't want water running on floor)
2. Removed the 2 bolts holding the Pump/Motor assembly to the machine.
3. Removed both hose clamps on the Pump/Motor assembly and removed Pump.
4. Attached the new drain inlet hose to the pump and then to the tub with the original hose clamps.
5. Attached the drain hose to the pump and then plugged in the 2 wires for the pump.
6. Plugged in the washing machine and everything worked.
NOTES:
1. Hardest part was working with hose clamps (spring type clamps) in the tight space under the machine.
2. Easier to fix since I pulled machine apart a few days before - removing the clog in the pump/motor assembly only to get everything back together to find out that the motor was dead. Still well worth the time and effort due to not having to go out and buy a new Machine...

washing machine would not go through all cycles or agitate
After removing frt panel which prys off I checked for anything obvious like a loose belt. Then I jiggled the magnet switch located on the inside of the loading cover. I saw the machine start agitating the it stopped again when I stopped touching it. I ordered the new part and spliced it in with the wire crip tool. Now the machine is A ok.

Old Hose Had A Leak
First I removed the screws that held the hose drain hose clip in place. Removed the damaged hose. Placed the new drain hose clip at the end of the new drain hose. Re-inserted back in hole, pushed in hose to necessary depth then tighted screws, Very easy and painless.
