GE frontload washer will not wash cycle or spin out
The cycle fills the tub with water, but does not begin turning the drum in the wash cycle. Tried to get it to spin cycle, still the drum does not turn. The water pump does come on and sounds like it's draining water from the tub. Motor doesnt sound like it's kicking on. Any advice? Possible timer issue?
No, I do not hear the electronics even trying to turn the motor on. Also, I do not hear any clicking of the timer. Also if I turn the timer to final spin, the water pump continues to run even after the water is gone. Also, if I move it to the end of the whole cycle, the buzzer comes on and does not turn off by itself. Any thoughts?No, I do not hear the electronics even trying to turn the motor on.

Thanks to Guest #2 our laundry is back in action and we're not waiting for a serviceperson. We took the front panel off, unscrewed the white plug and was sure our plastic drawer was open to catch the water, a load's worth. We found a small screw driver, 8 or so pony holders, some change, drill bits, bark, games pieces, can tops, etc... unbelievable. Thanks SO MUCH for the hint!
The solution posted by Guest (Solution #2) fixed my issue, thanks. Note: There was over a gallon of water that drained out with lots of debris. The amount of water would depend on how recently you used the machine.
I also have a GE front loader. Mine was doing the same thing so I called out the repair man. He opened up the bottom of the washing machine and opened up the drain in the bottom. (make sure you have a 9X13 pan under it) The drain was full of debris (coins, a couple of ball point pens, and misc) He emptied the debris out and then found that a pencil was still stuck in the tube that feeds into the drain. What happens is that the drain trap gets partly plugged and the water can't drain properly. When there is water backed up the washer cannot spin correctly and therefore your clothes come out dripping wet.

Problem is too much soap. Wrong soap. Press and hold: SPIN SPEED & SOIL LEVEL buttons--then press POWER button.
Wait for door to lock.
Press the START button (6) times--this will fill the tub with hot water to the maximum setting when it stops filling.
Press the START button two more times--this will enable the tub to tumble.
After 3 hours--turn "off" the washer.
Turn the washer back "on".
Select the shortest wash cycle (usually "quick wash") and press "START". This will rinse out the tub.
Hello I am familiar with this problem and 99% of the time it is caused by the washer lid safety switch, if the switch doesn't function the washer control will not let the cycle run past filling the tub with water. You can buy the part and get information on how to install it from a company called www.repairclinic.com
What has happened is that your water pump has gone out and it cannot pump the water out of the washers tub. This is a common issue and replacing the pump is not that hard assuming you have the time, effort, tools and energy.
The water-level switch regulates your washer's fill volume. This switch is usually a diaphragm device with a small, clear tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level in the tub increases, the pressure on the air in the tube increases. When the pressure reaches a certain level, it activates the switch, shuts off the water, and signals the timer to begin the agitate cycle. If the switch is defective, it may prematurely signal the water to shut off. If so, you probably need to replace the water-level switch.
Check the float bulb in the bottom of the tub and the switch below the
tub. It may be stuck in the up position telling the computor that the
water has filled. The timer is not supposed to advance to another
process engagement until the water floats the bulb and changes the
bottom switch position.
If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine.
If it isn't spinning--and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®--you may have a broken coupler. Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small, relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. This plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. When that happens, you need to replace it completely.
Spin cycle
If the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too wet at the end of a cycle. Check to be sure the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®), or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Replace the applicable component.
Alternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. Read the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section. Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive train. Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
Siphoning
If the water that pumps from the machine goes right back into the machine after the spin cycle, it may be because your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub with a slow drain, back into the washer. Try to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is there something stuck in the drain?) Also, be sure the drain hose doesn't reach more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub. If it does, cut off the excess.
Water-inlet valve
Water-inlet valves eventually fail. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity is turned off to it. Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub--you may notice that your washer has water in it when you haven't used it for a few days. To fix this, replace the valve.
The cycle doesn't advance
When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
suspect what ge call a mode shifter pull front panel off by sliding putty knife along edge at each side and pressing clips front comes right off look on motor for a flashing green light (washer must be in operation) there are 2 wires in a single plug on motor these run back to transmission area with a volt/ohm meyer unplug and ck between the wires for continuity should be roughly 90 ohms if bad will not show any continuity
On some models, the drive motor is universal meaning the drive turns clockwise in wash mode and turns counter clockwise in spin mode.
Possibly the motor windings is defective for the wash mode and thus the entire drive motor will require replacing.
Hope this helps..
No, I do not hear the electronics even trying to turn the motor on. Also, I do not hear any clicking of the timer. Also if I turn the timer to final spin, the water pump continues to run even after the water is gone. Also, if I move it to the end of the whole cycle, the buzzer comes on and does not turn off by itself. Any thoughts?
