Bob T Schenectady , NY August 24, 2014 Appliance: Model WCVH6260FWW Could have been one of three parts $300 each The drum in my front-loading washer had stopped spinning. After searching through the AppliancePartsPros forum, I determined it was one of three possible dead parts. There was plenty of info to help me narrow it down to those three, then test and diagnose it down to two of the three. My only stumbling block was that apparently GE changed the model number from WCVH6260FWW to WCVH6260F0WW (adding that extra zero after the F) and it made finding info a little difficult. One of the Pros stated that the two models were identical, but before that point it was very confusing. Inverter or Motor? Some more research lead me to realize that power was going in but not coming out of the Inverter, and several of the Pros mentioned that it was a simple fix. I did see it mentioned that it's rarely BOTH parts, so I took a gamble based on the advice I received and came up a jackpot winner! It was the inverter, and a new part was delivered to my door in record time (not even 2 full days!). The install took me less than 5 minutes, and after it was in I ran a test mode (again, something I learned on your great site!) and the drum started spinning once again! The issue was fixed!

Luke R Cockeysville , MD June 12, 2014 Appliance: Model WHDVH626FWW Whdvh626fww inverter died abruptly washer wouldn't start wouldn't do its spin testing at the start of a load pump would run afterwards for a few minutes Used a multimeter to determine whether the motor or inverter was bad (Got Error 54 in service mode), which usually means bad motor or inverter. Switchboard was spiking power to the inverter (could hear faint clicking, and the multimeter spiked readings when testing the inverter's terminals from the switchboard, and the motor's wires all checked out with proper ohmage. Heard from other customers that inverter dying was the most likely situation. Bought this new inverter (it looks different than the aluminum default inverter the machine comes with, but it IS the upgrade/replacement needed). Swapped out the inverters, now T10, T11 and T14 spin tests will work in service mode, since before it would just beep twice (meaning something was wrong and the test wouldn't go through). Spent $300 and a little time for what would have costed me over $600 easily for calling out a technician.

Renee A Silverdale , WA April 01, 2016 Washer drum would not spin or would only spin sometimes on certain cycles would not spin at all when performing the spin test on diagnostic menu Replaced inverter. If you're having problems with your GE front loader washer not spinning all the time or not spinning at all, this is the fix. Don't replace the control panel. It's a faulty inverter.
