FIRST IS ALL THE WATER BEING PUMPED OUT? SOMETIMES IF IT IS NOT THE SPIN WILL BE SLOW. ALSO CHECK BY LOOKING IN THE BACK OF WASHER THAT NOTHING IS CAUSING A DRAG ON THE TUB. CHECK THAT THE BELT IS NOT LOOSE AND SLIPPING.

SOURCE: GE WASHER SPIN OUT PROBLEMS

Sounds like the suspension for the drum is having problems - there are usually springs holding the drum up and acting as shocks - one of the springs may have come off during an unbalanced load.

SOURCE: GE top loading washer does not spin out water

The belt could be broken, if not. Unplug washer for 2 minutes, plug back in, open and close lid 7 times, this should reset electronic motor.

SOURCE: GE WSSH300G0WW front load washer

Had same problem with GE wssh300 front load washer. Removed two screws from front bottom panel (under washer front). Pulled off panel, loosened screw from a seal ring on the rubber flex hose going to a 4" square plastic housing. Reached down inside and found a ton of lint (probaby a 2" balls worth) jamming outlet. Removed lint an works geat. Very easy to do by tilting front of washer up and putting supports under front to keep elevated. Be careful to make sure supports are sturdy washer can't dop when servicing.

Won't spin

If a washer will agitate and wont spin check the lid switch. Lid switches are designed to not allow spin on most washer but will allow agitate. Safety feature.

If you need further assistance please feel free to comment me back.

Ge washer fills but dose not agatate or spin then empys

It is most likely your drive belt. Remove the front by inserting a small screwdriver between the top and front covers. There are two clips that hold the front on. You will find them close to the edges of the top of the front cover. Once you get this removed check the belt below the motor and see if it is broken or off the pully.

It's heavy duty thin twin model. The cycle stops at spin and water stays in the mashine.

When it gets to the SPIN cycle,wait 45 seconds. If it does not spin,open then close the lid.
If it spins then,replace the timer.
If it does not spin,replace the lid switch.

AGITATOR NOT SPINNING WHEN THERE IS A LOAD IN MACHINE. IT SPINS WHEN NO LOAD IN MACHINE. (GE TOP LOADER)

Check to see if the nut on top is loose if it is tighten it up by holding the agatator with one hand then screw the cap back down, if it is still not working you will need to see if the agatator is stripped if it is you will have to buy a new agatator and you can find them at this web site. www.appliancepros.com

I have a top loader maytag washer which doesnt want to spin on the spins cycles or will it agatate? any ideas

Usually the machine will not spn because the lid switch is not working properly. It could be stuck or broke. Do you hear a clicking noise when you raise and lower the lid? If its not doing either spin or agitate could have a bad transmission, motor, belt, etc

Washer Problems

I have the same problem with my GE washer (GJXRP080B2WW). We started the washer before going out and when we came back home. The cycle finished and the cloths were clean but all wet! I then tried again and it did fill water and drain but didn't agitate or spin. I checked the lid switcher, the timer and the agitator which are fine. However, the motor belt doesn't move and it seems the motor doesn't work when power was on. There are a lot of wires connected to the motor and I don't know which one to check to be sure power goes to the motor. Could you please help me? Thanks.

BTW, I didn't find any Reset button or the start capacity...
