GE top load washer won't drain or spin

Sounds like there's a hole or loose ejection water hose.
Move the washer so it will run and you can look in the back to see where the water is coming from....fix the leaky problem once you find it. Could be a bad hose clamp as well

Sounds like a lid switch

The typical cycle is;
fills to selected water level
agitates wash cycle
drains wash water
spins wash cycle
fills to selected water level on rinse cycle
agitates on rinse cycle
drains rinse water
spins final time
end of cycle

Hi,

Try this, unplug washer for two minutes, plug back in, open and close lid seven times slowly, this will reset the computer and the electronic motor. Also on water level switch, make sure hose from switch to tub is not plugged, blow it out, gets clogged with soap.

Hi,
Try these

1. Check the drain hose, it should be at least as high as the top of the wash tub, about 38 inches.
2. The drain hose must sit loosely in the house drain. Do not seal the air gap around the drain hose or a siphon will occur.
3. Check the drain control lever
4. Test the drain control coils
5. Check the cam bar

pls rate my suggestion..

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

Agitator's don't spin on wash cycle.

I would suggest washing the clothes without soap until they rinse clear. If you have hard water, the soap will not easily rinse out of clothes, or off of you when you use soap to wash or shower.

Reduce the amount of soap you use in each wash if this is the case. It sounds like your washing machine is working right.

water pump blocked with nylon stuffing from old pillow.removed front panel from hinges under the lid. water pump at the right hand corner removed hose then removed 2 cups of nylon threads and stuffing forced into pumps small openings where it was compacted to a solid mass.

door switch bad?
