Top 10 GE WBVH6240F Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

Nearly everytime I wash a load of clothes, I find that at least one, somtimes more, items have tears/holes in them. It has ruined a couple of swimsuits, camisoles, my son's baseball uniform(s), underwear, and so much more... What's going on????

I just had the repairman come and fix the washer. It was not spinning and getting the water out. My housekeeper watched him take the front panel off and get out two pairs of panties and $1.57 in change. That part is fixed now but the fabric softener dispenser is filled with water. They don't know how to fix that. Does anybody know?

My first frontloader worked like a charm for the first four months - now it keeps pausing itself at times during the cycle. It is usually in the WASH cycle when it does it and it sits there and hums like it is doing something. I have went through all the troubleshooting tips and nothing works. Mine is a GE WBVH6240HWW.

I have a GE WBVH6240 Front Load washer that won't tumble (i.e. wash) or spin with any kind of load in it but it works just fine when it is empty. The filter has been cleaned out...nothing was in it. I've run the test list and came up with the following error codes: 4B, 42, 61, and 70. I performed the test list functional checks and all worked fine with an empty washer but when anything, even a single towel, is put in the washer it will start to tumble and then act as if the load is too heavy for the motor to move it, yet the drum turns freely by hand. All the codes were cleared out and only the 42 repeated after letting the washer attempt to make it through an entire was cycle. The troubleshooting chart in the washer states this is a motor problem and to replace the motor. I put in a new motor and nothing changed, same exact scenerio.

My washer is just over a year old. I washed a load today with no problem. I started the 2nd load and went to the store. Came home, the door locked light was on. I was able to open the door, clothes are completly dry. Laundry soap is leaking out of the front of the door. I unplugged the washer, took the front panel off and cleaned the lint filter. I plugged it back in and now it will not turn on at all...

I have a brand new GE front load washer (WSSH300) and it's been working fine for a week. Now it won't start. It simply beeps at me and the light goes back to flashing.

I think it has something to do with the door lock, but i have no idea how to fix it.

Purchased washer 6240 and the dryer almost two years ago without pedestals. Now we have purchased the pedestals. The installation instructions for the w & d do not address installing them. What do we need to do to install now? Do we treat both machines as they were going to be moved?

GE WBVH6240 Front load washer. The drain pump won't shut off and door is locked. I've cleaned the filter/trap. The drain had evacuated all of the water...but the pump keeps running. I've unplugger the washer overnight in an attempt to reset and run error codes....but after powering up, the pump continues to run and door remains locked. Could this be the pressure switch (water level switch), control board, or ???

The drum inside my ge wbvh6240fww washer is loose. I can move it around with my hands. During spin cycles it sounds like a tornado, and the room fills with smoke from where the drum rubs. The belt is fine, the shipping bolts are removed. Are there rollers or bearings between the plastic tub that surrounds the metal drum, that could be worn? or is the metal(inside) drum held steady by bearings in the rear of the unit?

I have a GE WCVH6800JMS front load washer that will not spin. When I place it in the Drain/Spin Cycle it rotates (slowly) a few times and then stops. Every spin cycle on the machine does not work.
