Very long cycle times, hours instead of minutes. All cycles work and the knob does move, just very slow.

without knowing age of unit, I suggest replacing the motor. Sounds like the armature is worn the bearings and is moving inside the windings of the motor. I would do that first before moving forward with any other repairs.

the G.E IS USUALLY RESET BY UNPLIGGING THE MACHINE A COUPLE MINUTES THEN PLUG IT BACK AND TURN THE ON KNOB TO ON THEN PULL OUT . THEN OPEN AND CLOSE THE LID SLIGHTLY) NOT ALL THE WAY JUST SLIGHTLY ) 6 TIMES WITHIN A 12 SECOND PERIOD , THIS SHOULD RESET THE WASHER IF IT DOESNT WORK THEN TRY THE SAME WITH THE KNOB ON THE OFF POSITION PUSHED IN

More information is needed.
For example, a) what voltage timer is needed, b) what Load are you controlling and c) how does timer mount?

Easiest solution is 60 minute repeat cycle timer.
Timer knobs are adjusted, or the timer dial rotates once per hour and 20 minute timing cycle repeats each hour. The cycle repeats 24-7-365.
If you want the cycle to operate certain hours of the day, another 24 hour timer can be installed in-line.

Cycling timers have built-in trippers (or tabs) located on outer edge of dial
Lift each tripper up and rotate it toward center of dial to set on-off times.
The dial rotates as time passes, and the trippers move lever that turns load on-off.

For example if you have 8601 timer, the dial cycles every 60 minutes or once per hour.
Each tripper represents 1 minute.
So if you want NO terminals turned ON for 2 minutes each hour, then move 2 successive trippers up.
If you want NC terminals turned ON for 58 minutes, then leave 58 successive trippers down.

here you go, I hope this helps. Have you checked to see if it will spin out? You can push the timmer knob in and move it to different stages of the cycle at any time.

Your motor is getting overheated in wash cycle. if you turn it off for about 15 minutes and start it back up in rinse cycle will it work ? If yes, then motor is overheated. A sign that the motor is over working its self and time for a new motor.

You timer is bad and needs to be replaced. It is located behind the control board

the spin cylce in washer, did not shut off?soundslike an issue with the timer itself, no servicing htetimer strictly replace, as far as teh time in the dryer, i would check for clogged/kinked dryer vent, biggest issue with any dryer, innadequate vent

It sounds like the timer motor isn't advancing. You will have to replace the timer.

To program the Variable Auto Off: 1. Turn the FUNCTION KNOB to the ?Auto Off? position. Press and hold the ?Hour? button for 2 seconds. The clock display will start blinking. 2. Program the coffeemaker to shut off from zero to four hours after brew cycle is finished by using the ?Hour? and ?Minute? push-buttons. (see ?To set the time?)
