Problem for GE WBVH6240F Front Load Washer

Shuts off in middle of cycle




By Me_You on Apr 19, 2008

" "
Our Ge washer shuts off at least 6 times during a wash. At no set time, just randomly shuts off. The clothes will be soapy at the end. I will have to rinse and spin several cycles before the soap will be out. At ,most times, the clothes are soaking wet. I will have to repeatedly drain and spin until finally they are ready for the dryer. I only use HE laundrey detergent. What can I do to fix this problem? I will never buy an HE washer ever again. This is a nightmare.

-   I have the SAME problem!!! I'm going to try the white plug thing to see if that will work.

It shuts off like 6 times a cycle, so I have to make sure I'm home when I do laundry or it'll just shut off and forget entirely what it's doing...soured clothes...yay :|-   Guest

I am having the same problem w/ our brand new front loader washer, it pauses constantly, and even when I can get the load to finish, I have to drain and spin atleast 3 x before I can even attempt to put in dryer, at this point it is taking me hours to do one load of laundry!!
