GE WBSE3120B Top Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Ge washer stop working after plugged in while on.
Hi Teresa:
The very first basic thing to check is the power outlet. Please plug something else into that outlet (like a lamp, or blender, or iron) to make sure it still has power. Why? Often the washer outlets are on a unique circuit breaker that can be reset. IF it does have power, then unplug the washer, wait 10 minutes, open the washer door first, and then plug it back in, and give it a try. Any luck?

I broke down and had a technician come and fix it for me. It ended up being a loose wire in the panel.
The washer doesn't spin
Possible that the belt is slipping due to overload, check the capacitor to the motor , check the belt to the motor, check if the spindle is jammed , if so reset the spindle.
How to replace the plastic water tub on a GE WBSE3120B2WW washer
Here is a video of a guy changing out a transmission. It is everything you will be doing. But you will probably run into problems he doesn't cover. I can help you with those, i've done plenty of these. The only special tool you will need is a spanner wrench which he will show you. I gave up on those and now use an impact wrench with a 1 11/16" socket. But you can get one like the one he shows on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=WB5X1325&_sacat=0&_from=R40 Those are really the only tools that will work on that nut. You'll want to check it first though it could be deteriorated enough that you will have to drill, chisel and cuss your way through it anyway. On the other hand if it's a fairly new or little used machine it might be easy peasy. Otherwise you'll need a 7/16, 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 socket and ratchet. Air tools make it zip right along but are by no means necessary. The parts you will have to replace along the way are the hub nut and tub seal (Do not try to use the old seal, it never works) and possibly some dampening straps and one 8" plastic zip tie.Good luck. Let me know when you run into difficulty. One last thing in the video he shows after removing the hub nut the absolutely best way to break the seal between the tub and basket. That method only occasionally works for me however. What he doesn't show is what is sealing the tub to the basket. It's a build-up of a cement like substance created i suppose by soap residue. Regardless don't use a penetrating oil on that area. Water (the hotter the better, but not boiling) works best and even then you gotta dig and keep diggin and adding water until you finally break thru, it's only about 1/2" thick, but i've wrestled for an hour on more than one. So keep a cool head and stay after it, you can do it. Besides it might pop right off.
GE washing machine makes clicking noise and wont
Hello.
If your washer is indeed a WBSE3120B, than the not spinning is directly relatedto the unit not draining.
These machines by design cannot spin if the drain is inadequate.
Here is the first step in resolving the problem, you need to access the drainpump/filter to clean it.
To reach the filter and clean it...
**Unplug the washer from the dryer or wall, or turn off the 30amp breakerat the home service panel...safety first**
1) Open the small square plastic door at the right bottom of thewasher.
2) Via the small hose drain any access water from the pump...this is where awet/dry shop-vac comes in handy, or a shallow pan with a few towels works a swell.
3) Then turn the pump insert/button trap counter clock-wise and pull out.Clean the trap out thoroughly running it under hot water and mild soap or your washer detergent and inspect inside the pump for any other foreignobjects/obstructions.
4) Re-install the lint trap insuring it is good and snug/tight. Before closing up the small access door, run a short rinse spin cycle to check for leaks.
Let me know how you make out, or if you require further assistance.

Hi byrdgresham,
Your Motor is faulty, its taking to much AMPS in when on load. By that I mean, when it actually has a weight applied to it.
Only solution is either replacing the motor, or having it rewinded.
Kind Regards

WASHER WILL SPIN. BUT WILL
If your unit spins but doesn't drain it is most likely the drain pump, but before you change it, you need to first make sure that the control board sends the signal to the drain pump to activate it.
The most likely problem is either a bad drain pump or a blocked drain pump.
Water does not drain, stop working after wash

I have a GE Top
most likely the water valve is faulty. The inlet water valve is at the end of the fill hoses. trace your way to it and get a new one and replace it. Before you do check the inlet filter is not blocked. good luck
How do I get apart.
The fabric softener comes off, pull straight up. Then the upper agitator unbolts from the top. Be careful to properly align when you put it all back together.
Washer won't come out of
I have the SAME PROBLEM! And it smells like rotten eggs. Both of these poroblems occurred together for the first time today.
