GE WBVH6240 leaking problem

Have a ge wbvh6240 front loader that is about 18 months old. noticed water coming from bottom of washer. pulled front panel and cleaned strainer but still leaked. pulled panel again and started washer and noticed water coming from top of drum. I think it might be coming from top of door area on the inside and runs down the counter weight inside. do you have any ideas on what this could be? Thanks for any help that you can provide.

SOURCE: replace rubber gasket

Replace the machine with a top loader and you'll never have a leaking gasket again! Worked at National Linen for a while and the floors had drains in them and were always wet! Needless to say the pros have the same problem you do! ;)

SOURCE: Well, I have the GE front load washer, model

if advise from other poster does not work I would also suggest taking drain hose off tub and you should find marble right there in that lower pocket of tub.

SOURCE: My GE Front load washer (WBVH6240) has an odor

run a empty cycle with bleach on whites/ sanitize. clean boot (rubber gasket at door) with bleach or other cleaner inside especially at bottom, make sure 3 holes at bottom are clear.
this may take multiple cycles to rid of odor.
For maintenance, you should wipe excess water from boot after last load, and check lower drain holes. Once a month wipe boot with windex or other. and run cleaner cycle (empty) newer machines have a special clean washer cycle. (6240 doesnt).
Also clean your drain pump filter at bottom front behind access panel.
If boot is really bad , replace.

you would need to go into the fault codes and read them. the tech sheet should be under the lid or in the kick panel

SOURCE: WBVH6240 Spin problem. Excessive vibration

There are little items called "dogs" that keep the drum in balance. You can view a diagram of the machine and parts at partselect . com.
Bad bearings could also due this, but you would see oil/grease on the floor and chunks of the couple laying around. The dogs stay in place but will wear out.

GE front load Washer WBVH6240 BEEPS TWICE and won't start?

Try a motor reset.

This is the electronic washer. Unplug for two minutes, plug it in then open and close lid 7 times. This will reset motor. Also make sure belt is not broken.

My question is; the washer,model,wbvh6240 has any filter

No , all new front loads have a self cleaning filter. Therefore nothing needs to be emptied or clean. The little trap door in front of the washer is to drain it in case of a power failure when the washer is full of water. .

Door gasket leaking

My GE washer model wcvh6400j0ww was leaking too. The repair person thought the same thing the gasket. It turned out to be the water in-let pipe (WH41X10118 and you will need seal WH41X10119) and not the gasket. He ordered the gasket and took machine apart to replace and found cracked pipe. Take your machines front off and make sure it is the gasket leaking. Good Luck,

GE front loading washer WBVH6240 leaks during fill cycle..solutions??

I am not a repair professional. I am just a 78 year old
man who has been making his own repairs for about
50 years. Therefore the washer ID doesn't mean
much to me. It's been about 55 years since I had
experience with front load washers. However I can
suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where
they have very good trouble shooting and repair
information on front loaders. I think you'll find what
you need there. Good luck with it.

Washer

I have notice this problem with a lot of front loaders. I would check the manufacture warranty to see with is covered and if you bought an extended warranty, use it, keep your receipts for your previous purchases.
