Question about GE Energy Star WCVH6260F Front Load Washer

1 Answer

I need to reset the washer; after pausing to add clothes it is messed up.

I hit pause to add more clothes and now it won't run correctly. No water gets in and it does not turn. We have tired unpluging to reset it but that has not worked. We have also hit pause and waited 2 hours for it to cycle out. No luck with that either. Please help. Thank You

Here is the manual if you need it; http://products.geappliances.com/ProdContent/Dispatcher?REQUEST=SKUOBJECTS&DOCUMENT=Use%20and%20Care%20Manual&SKU=WCVH6260FGG page 7 and 11 says that pressing start/pause again once the door is shut should restart the cycle. If you have had no luck with this then possibly there is a problem with the washer pump filter - GE claim this is not user servicable and i haven't been able to find exact instructions - usually this would be behind the panel at the bottom of the front (this should click off but check before you break anything) there should be a small (3-4 inch) screw plug which can be undone to check the filter. GE may be telling the truth though and it may be inside the machine and hard to get to. Unfortunately I think you may need to get a service man to look at it - it sounds like the controller may have died Phone GE on 1-800-626-2005 and ask - maybe others have had this problem Hope this helps

    also may be that until the machine is drained, it wont reset - see if you can get the drain hose low and try to empty the machine - if no luck then tip it forward with the door open on a couple of chairs or similar and try to drain the machine that way. Sorry sounds complicated, but unless you can find the emergency drain plug (often the same as i described for the pump filter) then it may be worth a try.

I would unplug the washer to reset it. if you have already hit the power button to turn the unit off and it failed to respond. Newer washer machines are like computers, and smart phones these days. you have to reboot them because they do sometimes lock up. Pull the cord for about 5 minutes and see if that resolves your issue.

Check the lid switch and its actuator on the lid. The pause you're getting is likely an open lid sensed by the washer control. Also try to push and pull the inner tub up and down a few times - if I remember correctly these washers have a floating basket, which engages the gears when there is enough weight inside. If there is not enough clothes it may not wash correctly (I don't remember exactly, but try it anyway, what do you have to loose? ;) ).

I wanted to take some clothes out during the cycle but don't know how to stop it properly and get the door unlocked
your mach depending on model and cycle selected has a 3 to 5min "add a garment" feature.that means in the 1st 3-5mins of cycles when add a garment light is lit you may hit pause button once and the mach will stop and unlock door.after add a gament light is off,if u hit pause the cycle the mach will drain water and reset cycle..hope this helps

Washers - Resetting Electronic Controls on a Washer

If there is a pause in the washer cycle, the controls will lock up. The pause can occur because of a power failure or it was put in the test mode at the factory.

Also, if the washer was stopped before the cycle was complete or the consumer has pushed the stop/pause button to temporarily stop the cycle and the cycle is not reset. Over a period of 24 hours, the washer will pump out and spin, but will stay in the final spin.

To correct the situation, shut off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or unplug the washer, then turn the timer knob around and back to any position other than final spin. Verify the water is turned on and restore power. This should resolve the issue.

Paused. now stuck. cannot open, turn off, etc.
Unpluggin the machine is pretty much the only way to reset it.Leave it unplugged for a couple hours if that doesnt work its most like a control board issue
