Hartner J Martinsburg , WV August 20, 2018 Newer model GE washer would not drain Replaced pump. It is an easy repair. The washer's rear panel is not removable; you must tip the washer on its back. Had to drain the water from washer by attaching a shop vac to the drain hose before tipping washer. Entire repair took about 30 minutes. Received the replacement pump very quickly. 24 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
