I have a GE washer. Lately, water goes down into washer, but does not seem to stay; as a result, clothes are not being washed - some even remain dry (inside the washer, while being "washed"). The way i figured it out, something (a valve, perhaps?) is supposed to close, retaining the water inside the tumbler, but it seem like it is open, hence, no water in the tumbler as clothes are being agitated. Any suggestions, please? Frustrated mommy.
Well if this is a front loading GE and it has a pump similar to the Frigidaire Models (who knows who makes what for whom) there is a check valve that closes on the pump where the hose connects to the drain hose if this has fallen apart or off the pump will allow the water to drain into the hose rather than staying in the wash tub without knowing the model number it is difficult to be certain of this. If yours has the small access panel on the front with two screws at the bottom most likely the pump check flap (small piece of rubber on the pump outlet) is probably shot. Only other thing is to make sure the drain hose has not changed position and causing siphoning of the wash tub.
