I have an issue with my washer not agitating during the wash cycle, and then not spinning after it drains the water.... the wash cycle will run the full time selected . i found a video on youtube that showed me a way to reset the motor. i'm finding that i have to do it more frequently. does the issue have something to do with the lid switch, since it is the key part involved in resetting or could it be something else like the controller ?
For model number WPRE6150K2WT

Hi Joe, thank you for your question. From what you are describing and the fact that when you specifically reset the motor and switch your appliance starts working, that might actually be the case. If your lid switch is malfunctioning then it will not allow your appliance to go into the spin cycle. That would be the first part to check. If that part is fine then it sounds like it might be the motor itself that is the issue. Though most of the time it is just the switch. Good luck with your repair.

Extraction water leaves thin, black debris in the laundry sink sometimes on the clothes in washer. What is causing this?
For model number WPRE6150K2WT
PartSelect logo
Hello Carol, thank you for reaching out. Black flakes combine dirt, oil, mold, detergent, and other compounds. It is a common build-up for non-maintained cleaning machines. To wash our clothes, these devices consume lots of dirt, oil, fabrics, and detergent. If you do not clean the bowl timely, small particles start gathering the space and making black flakes in the future. To remove black particles, follow these steps to clean the Washing Machine: 1. Fill the Washing Machine with 3/4 of water. 2. Add 1 to 2 liters of Clorox/Bleach. 3. Leave it overnight. 4. On the next day, do a clean tub or quick wash to wash away the molds (do not put in any clothing). You may want to wash the tub a few times to remove the Clorox smell. We hope this helps!

The unit makes a grinding noise only when agitating
For model number WPRE6150K2WT
PartSelect logo
Hi Bruce, thank you for reaching out. The most common cause of a washer making a loud noise during the agitation cycle is a worn-out drum bearing, we would recommend checking it, the part number is PS271510. If that does not take care of the issue, we would suggest checking the Drive Pulley, part number PS1482349. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.

Hi Marilyn, I recommend taking a look at the leveling legs at the bottom of your washer, they may need adjustment or replacement. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

My washer sounds like it’s going to take off and it’s not washing cloths right
For model number WPRE6150K2WT

Hi Jessica, thank you for your question. You may want to take a look at your tub dampening straps. In most cases those have just worn down over time and need to be replaced. Otherwise you might actually need to change out all of your suspension rods. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

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)<br />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...

machine would not drain all other functions seemed o.k
Aside from getting the wet clothes and most of the water out,the toughest part of the job for me was to figure out how to get inside the machine. I nearly wrecked the thing trying to lift the top panel. After some frustration I removed the star-type screws on back of the control panel and found, tucked away neatly, the documentation/parts list complete with instructions on how to remove the FRONT panel. Once I got inside it was easy to locate the pump. I ran the drain cycle for a moment to see if the pump turned at all. The original had an exposed fan so it was easy to see that indeed the motor was not turning. I inspected all the hose and electrical connections to make sure I had the tools I'd need and the savvy to replace the part(s) if I could locate them. I'm not much of a web-head, so I was a little surprised when I typed G.E. appliances and the search took me to partselect.com where I was pretty much coached through the procedure before I even ordered the part. The box arrived ahead of schedule (yay) and when I looked at the pump it didn't look much like the one I was replacing. But then I realized it was the same thing just ten years more advanced. I used a small pair of vise grips to pinch and lock the pipe clamps open. I know there is a plier made for this, but... Anyways, after loosening the clamps and sliding them away from the pump I pulled the hoses off and let the last of the rinse water still in them run down my shirt sleeve to my elbow. (optional, not recommended) Thus refreshed I then rummaged through my socket set and found what I needed to remove the 2 sheet metal mounting screws and disconnected the 2 power leads. I removed the faulty pump and proudly showed it to my wife. Unimpressed, she asked how much longer. I quickly reversed the procedure to install the new unit and confidently piled in a load of laundry. The cycle completed just fine and has done so since. I will and have recommmended partselect.com to friends and will use it again for sure.

broken drive belt
To diagnose, first I unhooked the washer: power, water supply, and drain pipe. I then slid the washer out, laying it on its front. With nutdriver, I unscrewed two screws that held the other end of the drain tube and removed it completely. Then, again with the nutdriver removed 4 screws from the back near the legs, two in between the legs in the middle, and approx. 4 to 6 on the bottom. This let me pull the bottom off partially to access the motor area. (I did did not take the bottom completely off, only about 2/3 off and let it bend over, as it was flexible tin) The belt was broken. After receiving the new belt, I positioned it between the pulley and the motor and between the drum and the big pulley. Then I rotated the big pulley, pulling the belt onto it as I rotated. At the same time, as I rotated, I pulled the other end of the belt on to the little pulley. Once it was on, I would put pressure on it as I turned the pulley, to jump the belt to the appropriate grooves on the little pulley. Note: the replacement belt had been modified, so it had one less groove than the pulley. I would have known this if I had read the insert that came with the belt first! Anyway, this was not a problem, only a design change. Also it was important to start the belt on the inside, so if it slipped, you didnt loose your bite. Total diagnostic, repair, and reassembly time: 30 minutes plus or minus. I had read other online forums that said you had to loosen the motor, etc. And I do know some type of a belt installation tool was offered on line, but I got along fine with my installation method. An extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not necessary.
