GE Washer fills but will not run through cycle

when washers go into rinse cycle they use cold water so the clothes don't rinkle,i would say that you have a bad water valve located on the washer,you can try to run the wash at the beginning just with cold water,if the water comes in slow you have a bad valve,you can then run it on just hot water and see if there's a difference in how fast it fills.the strange thing is that it should pop up with an error code after 6 or 8 minutes because the washer is filling to slow,have you seen any codes come up?if it is the valve the part number is WH13X10017 and that valve is under the top console

If the fill has a spring then I would suggest you replace the spring.

Check the water pressure switch for proper operation

You may have a water supply problem. There is a mesh screen in the hoses where they hook to the washer. Make sure they aren't clogged up

Inspect the drain hose for kinks
Test the timer control
Test the lid switch (some models)
Inspect the water pump
Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
Inspect the motor coupler

you have a hose that came loose to the pressure switch or the tub or you have a bad pressure switch
or the fill cup is blocked

Cold water pipe had become frozen. FYI this model of washer has a nice feature whereas you can test each component i.e. valves, by setting the timer and reading the LED's on the front panel. Instructions are in the schematic.

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..

for WWSE3160A0WW I have the same problem - I have tried replacing the control panel and it did not help -
