I have the GE whdsr209doww- leaks all through cycle at the back draintube. I am going to get a new drain tube , but could it be the pump not holding the water in the tub?

Your GE washer spin cycle will not engage because the water in your tube has not drained! So you need and New Drain Pump replaced and installed!

Possible that the timer is defective as there is no contact to switch on the pump. The loss of contact could be due to failure of the switch and so it means the timer needs to be replaced which means and expensive work. Please use a switch cleaner like WD40 to clean and reset , if might work .

Possible that the defrost water drain tank is full and is overflowing. Also it can be due to leaks from the Auto-defrost cycle , the tube could be leaking or the connecting tubes are loose.
Observe the leak point and go further into tracing the case. Check the setting of the thermostat and make it to normal settings

If the leak is still present after you replace the hoses , you may need to get a new water pump ( cheap part ) it is probably leaking , it removes the dirty water from the washer during spin and rinse cycle . hope this helps

Problem solved. After wet-vacuuming the floor several times, took off the drain pump. Unscrewed the drain plug and found a "penny" in the chamber. The perimeter was badly and disfigured and looking like a train ran over it.

1st thot it created a pump wear stoppage. But after a time, I found the real problem: The penny flipping around the plastic chambe created a slice-looking hole on one of drain tube chambers on the side that could not be seen when installed.

New pump, no leaks.

first
check the drainage pipe, the hose goes into and make sure its not clogged, once you know there are no obstructions reattach the drain hose. be sure it goes a couple of inches into the pipe but has a little space for air flow between hose and pipe. I this doesnt fix the problem the hose made need to be raised, it should enter the pipe several inches higher than the washer. Hope this helps

There is no reset button. The most common problems are drain hose blocked (new or plugged disposal?), or the pump/motor assembly has been leaking. Is the motor turning? GE motors will turn from the time you turn it on until dry cycle. Remove the lower panels and observe the drain solonoid on the left of the motor. The silver plunger should go down when in drain cycle. Look for any corrosion meaning you have had a leak. If so, it is probably time for a new dishwasher. The newer dishwashers are much quieter, clean better, and use less energy. The best price on a new pump assembly is around $120 plus shipping.

Hope this helps,

Pump is probably bad.

Check pump. I would say it is the most likely cause for the water leak, especially if itdoes it while filling and on spin as the pump holds some residual water in it . That is normal.

i had this problem once...either its the timer u turn manualy or the bottom of the big round thing that spins it is not spinning..the spin cycle is a whirlpool effect that pushes the the water up a tube and out....also lay the draintube on the ground...if water comes out slow ...something is weak.
