Just want to say thank you! I have had non stop intermittent draining issues with my same model as this. Went through your whole troubleshooting process to find everything was working fine except for there only being two "sticking points" on the drain pump impeller. Swapped out the drain pump for one I got from your website and had no issues since. Thanks for being so thorough and helping me diagnose something as specific as a partially broken drainage pump.
I want to thank you for your video it has helped me fix my washer my pump was going bad and i bought a replacement part from amazon and it fixed the problem, i had to watch your video to make sure i was doing it correctly and it saved me a ton of money thank you again and keep making these videos im sure it will help someone else down the line.
I just did the lid up and down 8 times and my spin cycle started. Thank you so much. I was about to give up after bailing water enough out of the tub to pull the washer out.
@nscavo WELL......It worked until now. All the machine wanted to do yesterday is fill again and again..No spin or agitate. Took apart this morning like always and couldn't find anything wrong. Put it back together and plugged in and now it's working like new! This is the second time this has happened. It's a mystery machine.
OK, about five minutes in when you're teaching me more codes I'm like loving this. I really wish I had the code reader that they plug into the back of the machine there.
Ge appliances now all have a plug in to a Smarthq module that connects to your phone. This is a professional tool. You can test everything with tech alerts error code history rpm of spin ect. It's a great tool I use to cut down on tech time and or taking things apart. Also. A non contact electrical sensor is nice for a quick and easy indicator of power to the motor. I replace a lot of splutch kits on these and for the life of me can't figure out if board replacement needs a personality or calibration
Ben, I find your videos extremely informative and entertaining. Thanks. I have a question for you. I have a GE washer, I think I know what your answer will be re: repair, but I figured I'd run this by you anyway. It's about 15 years old. Most times, when I start the machine (it does have the electronic start button) it fills up normally, and when the magnetic switch is engaged, the agitator usually slowly starts swishing, as if to level the clothes in the washer. Now, what happens is it clicks every second, sounds like it's trying to engage in the clutch/agitator, but nothing happens. This can happen many many times. What I've been able to do is hit the stop/pause button. Several times, and if I'm lucky, after 6 or more tries of this, it actually engages and operates normally! Any ideas? Thanks Ben....Ben
Ben - I’m extremely grateful for your tutorials as it’s helped me a great deal in resolving some of my washer issues. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. New subscriber here 👍
Three years ago GE washer started making a grinding noise. GE Repair said machine needed to be replaced and offered a deal on a new washer. I declined and bizarrely, the noise stopped.... machine was probably not balanced and shifting its location solved problem. Today, same washer stopped spinning and draining. Looked all over online, including this site. I tried restarting, letting it rest and other minor adjustments. THEN, unplugged for 10 minutes and now the machine works fine. I have no idea why.
@brooksrownd2275 Thanks for letting everyone know you don't understand how electronics work...? Electronics can be thought of switches with no moving parts. Moving parts wear and do not last as long as electronic switches. Plus they are more expensive. Any mechanical part that can be replaced with an electronic one reduces cost AND improves reliability. How does this equate to Armageddon?
@@JeremySpidle Electronics is my work, so I get to enjoy looking at a regular flow of failed PCBs. They work...until they stop working and go in the trash bin. A washing machine is simple enough that an electro-mechanical system works great and is easy to fix.
@brooksrownd2275 Not even, lol. I am SO glad the days of mechanical timer driven machines are long gone. Mechanical timers are irreparable and often more expensive than worth replacing, in MOST of the world PCBs are repaired to the component level, so your experience is anecdotal at best.

The lid up and down is NOT for this model GE top load washer. That is used on the hydro wave model. I believe

if you have a Wet Dry vac set up for wet pickup, ,you can use it to vac out all the water in the machine through the drain hose.
Hey do you think its a good idea to buy the extended warranty when buying appliances? Like a 3 or 5 year?
OK, about five minutes in when you're teaching me more codes I'm like loving this. I really wish I had the code reader that they plug into the back of the machine there.
I'll have a dedicated video on that soon.

Hard to guess on those models w/o seeing one in front of me. I'd look at actuator/clutch underneath and see what you can find if its bad
Great instructions. I’m always following from the arm chair.
This helped drain my machine, thank you!
Thank you for this video. Extremely well done.

My ge, this model, is not properly washing/ taking stains out of clothes. Could I get a video on this?
The magnetic resistance you feel as you turn the impeller is called, "Cogging" 8:43
Thank you Ben. I do have a G.E. similar.
Very cool!
Perfect advice 👌 worked for me ty
My drain pump ohms were 25. Much more than 13. I assume that means bad drain pump?
What kind multimeter are u using?
My GE model GTWS8455D0MC it needs water pump part # WH23X10047 I can't find anywhere. Is there a replacement or substitute?
Can you please show me how to reset my this exact washing machine
👏👏
Went to your link but doesn’t have drain pump. 🤷♂️
The link I tried on the video worked? At least it took me to the WH23X24178CM. Was there another one you needed?
At 6:00 you said "to force shut down defrost mode". I think you miss spoke.
I did, I do so many many fridge videos I mis spoke
We have a Fridgidare laundry center that the washer won't drain.
Hoping to get a Frigidaire laundry center to do tests on, but dont have one
But it will fill and agitate?
Connect a jumper(bypass) on the lid lock and try running it
@@ryk1265 depending on the frigidaire they may not be able to be jumpered
Forced defrost mode lol
I caught that too 6:00
Ge..appliances...
My advice, don’t buy GE, buy Speed Queen!
That's not an option for most. You're saying, "don't buy a Chrysler, buy a Rolls-Royce"!
Does Speed Queen even make a front loader?
@@JeremySpidleYes model FF7 I think
One never regrets quality!@@longtermgains8253
A PCB in something as simple as a washing machine is surely a sign of the End Times.
Looks like the world should have ended over 40 years ago then...
