GE Washer model #wcvh6800j1ww stops in mid cycle and the start/pause button flashes?

Not enough information really. Model and serial number will help as there are so many brands and each one has a different sequence to reset. Some ge front load machines u unplug the machine then hold the start pause button for 5 seconds. Plug in and check. If ge is stuck locked hold the lock button for 3 seconds. Pausing mid cycle could mean failed water valve, bad door switch, water not turned on etc.however I do not know what machine u are referring to

You need to supply brand and model numbers in the question itself when posting.

It's time to unplug the power and let the electronic panel reset.

if it makes a grinding sound when in spin this is the tub seals or bearing and basically you'll have to replace the washer.very common with this ge washer,not one of ge's best product,also why it stops mid cycle could be anything,this washer has a computer board biult on top of the motor that also failed,if your having all these issues i think that washer sold for like 500 dollars,it would cost more just to repair it,i wouldn't put 5 cents into it,do yourself a favor and get a new washer.

see the causes and remedies:
It spins, but doesn't pump
drain lines clogged, repair+sock in outer tub port, if the lines is not clogge the problem is pump replace
It doesn't spin or pump
frozen pulley pump, replace
It pumps, but the water returns improve the draininin laundry, if have reaches 4 inches cut off the excess. if is lower install air/gap siphon break assembly.
God bless you

Check the cold water hose. My brand new machine had this behavior until I discovered a kink in the cold water hose - works great now.

Mine kept stopping mid cycle also, pouring water on the floor, then the start/pause button flashed and the door unlocked. I found the solution to clean the lint filter on the GE Adora. Go to http://www.instructables.com/id/GE-Adora-Lint-Filter-Cleanout/?download=pdf

I just did this and my washer is now running instead of the flashing start/pause and door unlocking. It was fairly easy. Make sure you have towels and a flat pan to catch the water if you don't have the machine on a riser. There may be water inside so a wet vac may be helpful too. Once my washer finishes what was in it, I have these funky towels to clean. You'll be very surprised what you find in the filter! Best of luck!

I had the same problem.....The start/pause button would flash during a cycle and the washer would not finish the cycle. After reading on this forum that there is a filter/strainer inline with the drain, I tried this solution.
Remove the (3) screws that hold the lower front panel (Just below the door)
Once the panel is removed, you should see a white plastic strainer hooked to the washer drain.

Please a large bowl under the opening and unscrew the knob/handle, pull the filter/strainer out and clean all of the lint/trash out of this area.

My filter/strainer was clogged with a baby sock, 2 doilies, a fewe pennies, 2 dimes and lot's of lint.
I believe all of this debris was causing musty odors in the machine as the lint would stink due to dampness.

Once I cleared out this filter/strainer the problem and my odors went away
I wish GE would add this "EASY" step into the owners manual for proper care and maintenace.

Thank you for letting me know about this filter/strainer as it did resolve my problem

ok Problem is not finding out the meaning of the pause button flashing but.......
you need to contact GE directly as this machine is under warranty.
