Osiel S. January 10, 2014 for Model Number gfwn1100l1ww Replaced the control board and motor and my washer fills with water, ready to wash but does not spin. The time is running but will not spin. What can possibly be causing this?
1 Answer Hello Osiel, You need to put the unit into the service mode and pull the fault codes. This is explained on page 3 of the tech sheet for the unit. The tech sheet will be inside the unit, normally inside the kick panel. Please include an e-mail address next time if you need us to send out a copy of the tech sheet. Read More...
Greg July 27, 2013 for Model Number GFWN1100 L1WW This GE front loader will fill, agitate weakly for about 30-45 seconds, pump out, and then return to the "start" mode w/ the blinking start button. Cycle time advance 1-2 minutes. Using a troubleshooting guide, I got an error code E46 for motor. Going through the steps, I believe I have diagnosed a bad motor sensor, as the resistance between the two yellow leads at wiring harness p9 on the control panel is wide open, i.e no resistance. I verified that the control panel is sending power to the motor by checking for 120V at the inverter plug during service code test t11, and the motor sometimes runs during this service code test, others not. Does the diagnosis of a bad motor sensor seem reasonable given the above description? Thanks.
1 Answer Greg, Yes, based on the information it does indeed sound like a bad control on the motor assembly and the motor would need to be replaced. Read More...
Gregory C May 25, 2013 for Model Number WBVH6240HWW My GE front load washing machine was in it's final spin cycle this morning. I loud noise came from the unit and I smelled electrical type smoke and shut down the unit. I restarted it with 9 minutes to finish the cycle. It finished it's cycle and I haven't touched it since this morning. Is the motor bad? belt? bearing?
1 Answer Gregory, Wouldn't expect the motor to be bad, The washer finished the remainder of the cycle. You do need to check the drive belt WH08X10024 to see if there was damage to it or the motor drive pulley, due to an overload, an article getting stuck or something similar to that situation.

Mike April 09, 2013 for Model Number wcvh6260fww My washer barely drains anymore and I'm thinking the motor assy part no. ap3872963 is what I need. Is this correct?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Check and make sure the filter and the hoses on the washer are not clogged. If not, you will need to order and replace the pump assembly WH23X10028 on the unit. Read More...
David H November 12, 2012 for Model Number wcvh6260fww The drive belt broke and twisted around the drum pulley. After considerable effort, I removed the belt and replaced it and the pulley. However, when it goes into the spin cycle it make such a noise that it sounds like it is going to explode. The wash comes out fine and the sound is fine on all other cycles.
1 Answer Hello David, Based on the information provided it appears that the tub bearings may be bad. The tub bearing WH45X10071 going bad could have caused the belt to break. Read More...
