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.
