Question about GE Profile Prodigy WPSE4200A

1 Answer

Flood error Our sewer line backed up the other day and some of the water backed up into the washing machine through the drain line. Got the sewer line cleare but now the machine wil not let the water drain out. I tok the drain hose out of the drain pipe in case the drain pipr was clogged. Still no drainage. I removed all of the water from the wash basket and tok off the drain hose from the washing machine. I then checked the guide and checked the field service mode. I got a flood error code. Is there anyway to reset the machine so that I will not have to call a repairman!

I occasionally have a sewer gas smell near my washer. But after I run the washer, the smell will go away for a few days. What could the problem be?
Hi Joe

Is that pex pipe on the right your water supply to the washer?

Your sewer gas smell I believe can be eliminated by putting a P trap in the drain PVC line.

(EDIT)
Where the drain hose from the washer hooks into the PVC pipe is NOT airtight which would allow the sewer gas back into the laundry room!

(EDIT EDIT)
If there is a P-trap in your outflow pipe, the only place left for grey water to collect (and stink) would be between the washer and where the waste hose goes into the drain. We've had to use a little bit of bleach on occasion when we haven't used the washer for a bit.
Hope this helps

We purchased a kenmore high efficiency washing machine. after the second load, we get a sewer smell in the other part of the house.do you have any suggestions?
There may be a venting problem with the sewer lines. These machines expel water very fast and at higher pressures than other types of machines. This can cause suctioning of water from drain traps if there is improper or clogged venting of the sewer lines. Have the sewer lines checked by someone knowledgeable about proper venting practices.

Washing machine sewer odor
The drain pipe that your drain hose goes into is more than likely the problem. The drain pipes should have a p trap which looks kind of like an S- shape the water stays in the trap preventing the smell from backing into your home . If there is none, install one.

Odor coming from washing machine - smells like sewer gas
The odor coming from your washing could indicate a problem with your
hot water heater or possibly your city's cold water supply line.
In some cases the odor might be originating from the drain located adjacent to
the washing machine. During long periods of inactivity, if no water is flushed
down the drain, a sewer smell will be emitted from the drain. To alleviate
this condition, just flush water down the drain.
I hope this helps you solve your problem.

WHIRLPOOL 7MGHW9150PW0 will not drain has f2 and
I don't have access to those error code profiles at this time, but it appears its an over level condition on the water level switch circuit caused by a defective pressure switch or plugged connecting hose causing it to overfill, or you could have a leaking/defective inlet valve which will cause it to fill at all times sorta, or defective/clogged pump.
Or someone may have connected the drain hose of your unit directly to the sewer line without an air gap and somehow you are getting dirty"grey" water backing up into your washing machine.. ewwwwwwwwww!!
best of luck, and have fun,

My washer (500 plus series) has a odor during operation that smell strongly of sewer, where is it coming from and how can I solve the problem
make sure the drain pipe out of the machine is installed at the right height per owners manual and the stand pipe isnt plugged with debris which will back wash into the pump area of machine,also make sure the pipe and drain hose arent sealed they need outside air or the system will vapor lock per say and siphon back into the machine,overall make sure there isn't and obstructions to the drain from kinked hoses or debris in the drain lines,flush out all lines with fresh water and make sure lines take all water and dont back-up during rinse-out

The water is entering the washer, but is not
Either the drain hose is too far into the drain or drain hose is too tight in the drain . Make sure the drain hose is NOT taped to the drain (to keep the drain pipe from overflowing ) All of these will cause a syphon problem , where water will be "pulled out" of the machine by your sewer line , as water is filling your machine for wash (usually rinse cycle).

Washer fills and drains, but won't agitate or spin. Downloaded the manual and went through the diagnostics test. The hot and cold valves work fine, it drains fine but will not agitate in slow or fast and it won't spin. It gives an error code for 'slow pump' or '>3 min pump out'. I took all the hoses apart and there were no blockages and the pump seems to be pumping down just fine. The belt is fine. The motor isn't getting any power during agitate/spin cycle, which I'm guessing is directly related to the error code. Any ideas?
