We have GE front loading washing machine, Model WBVH5300K1WW. On the Basket/Clean cycle, I poured the bleach in the basket, closed the door, and pressed start button. It buzzed three times and then CLn showed on the display. However, the Start button started flashing and continues to flash. I did not want interrupt the cycle. Is the Start button suppose to flash during the cycle?There has been no activity for about a half hour.

Hi john, There is a blue cover that i am suspecting you are missing from the softener/bleach dispenser. It fits over the two tubes in the dispenser and it siphons the water out. It is part number 22002266. Also the machine has a water filled balance ring. It is normal to hear sounds of water when the tub is turned. If you can see water in the spinner its a different story.

I'm sorry but the white spots will be due to bleach. It may be that there was undissolved bleach in the washer after the first load. Maybe some of it came out with the whites and lay in wait in the basket.

I doubt the makers would guarantee anything for 7 years, so no free basket or installation is likely. Seems there is a chip in the enamel and dampness / water from the previous wash days before sits there collecting iron as rust particles.

For the time being you could try rinsing the machine out before the first load. That might prevent the rust marks or reduce them.

After reading your article, i opened up the front of our GE profile that had the same BANGING problem. i saw the hangers, they were all attached, but i noticed it was still binding. I reasearched further to notice that the MOTOR cradle had jumped over the side of the right guide at the bottom of the washer and the guide was bent. i moved the motor bracket back to the correct side and bent the brackets back straight. Our washer no longer BANGS!

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.

Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.

The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.

Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.

Has this been solved? I have the same problem only I do not remember a power failure. But the other things are the same. <!-- from fixya rte -->
