@@DuctTapeMechanic But be careful. I got suckered by a fake agitator, but impeller. The new machines and HE soap don't have enough, if any surfactants to get clothes clean. If you can take a shirt out of a washer that has finished it's cyclel, put the "clean" shirt into a basin of slightly warm water with plain old tide or some normal detergent NOT HE, and the water becomes dirty, the machine is a con job.
Hi, enjoy this video and learned something. My GE does not want to fill and when it does its just not to the lowest fill on the washer. I would prep to wash and sometimes have to use a hose to fill the washer.
Oh boy, I have an old GE top loading washer. My son's girlfriend was coming over to do her laundry, she pushed the start button with such force it got jammed inside. My ex cut the rubber cover and removed it , then for the last 6 months I was using the eraser end of a #2 pencil to start the wash. It worked like a charm (for me) but again someone else tried and then the inner portion inside the control panel the entire little chip start button on the panel snapped off as well inside. I have no money right now to replace my machine, still now I will need at the very least to order a new control panel as well as the Grey outer button cover. My question is, is there a way, without having that start button chip, to hard wire the start mechanism to start simply when plugging in the power cord ?
I got Error Code 16. Been trying to test everything that the manual says, The unit seems to drain normally, the water valves both work when testing them in diagnostic mode, and the pressure tube isn't kinked and no trapped water. I have no idea where the Pressure Chamber Port is, to see if it's free from obstruction. Any pointers is appreciated.
Is it normal for my older model (purchased new from Lowe’s last month) to have water at the bottom not inside drum. I can hear it when I move the drum around. It is not draining properly. Will this help? TIA
I just replace the control board in mine after it displayed multiple faults. Repain guy also said it was the control board. Here’s hoping that is the only thing I need to do.
@@russellparker8796 Thanks. I tried that, but didn’t work. So I removed the top cover and flipped the door up to remove and unstuck the lock mechanism. Ordered the replacement part, as even though I unlocked the mechanism and reinstalled cover…still thinks the unit is locked.
I suppose its Energy Star. Ive heard that these are part of the "smart meter" system. They will be tracking all appliances energy use if they are a part of this system. Id remove the smart meter on your home if you have one. Mine is the agitator type but still has the lid lock. Id like to disconnect that. Also if my lid is open when the barrel reaches full, it will drain the entire barrel. Who invented such a thing and why?
There is no way to bypass the lid lock mechanism on newer washers it was possible on older machines. It's a safety mechanism (i.e. prevents the company from being sued if someone sticks there are in a moving washer)
@@DuctTapeMechanic Mine isn't exactly new. 2015 we purchased. They weren't making them anymore and wanted to get rid of it. Got a deal. Very basic machine. No bells and whistles. I'm surprised it has the lid lock.
Super cool right to the point . From what you described about 2 inlet valves instead of hot like I usually wash I put it on cool and its washing the clothes . I'll go get the part . And watch your video again thanks
These machines with the digital readouts are the ones having the problems. GE used to be among the most reliable washing machines, but not now with these computerized controls. Buyer beware when companies produce a product like this that is supposed to help you figure out what specific problem you're having. One of my customers has a two year old Samsung front loader, and the issue is the main computer, a costly repair. Even if you get an error code, it's a crap shoot if as to whether for instance, you have a bad lid lock, or a bad computer. I liked it better when we had analog dials, same goes for TV's and radios. You always knew what channel you were watching, and had dials you could read. The other issue is that so many of the electronic controls like remotes are all black. You have to carry a flashlight around with you.
Help me also please before I reset it I had 2 light then skip and then 2 light. Doesn't show on error chart... it violent shake and fills under tub not the tub
@@DuctTapeMechanic thank you for replying!! First it wouldn't quit filling with water and then after watching your video I did the diagnostics and I had the full light and spin light blinking (2nd & 5th light) . So I found that error code meant that the drain pump filter needed to be cleaned out... I think 😫 But after watching another video from someone else on RUclips I ended up unplugging the pressure hose (white small hose in the back left corner) sticking a drill bit in to clear anything in it & putting it back on. Well I still have not found this drain pump filter but now it will fill wash. some times it may drain & spin and some times it won't.

Thats a great video
Next time could you show a full test a diagnostic of the failed part?
Thanks for the video, do you know what brand is good for a washer just for the future.
If I had to buy a new washer, I would get the cheapest top load whirlpool washer that has an agitator

How do you fix the deep fill? Mine is new and only fills like 3 inches.
Any tips?

Same for me..is there a setting to make it water level higher
Can I perform the tests in the service mode if the washer is full? I see a couple of the tests specifically say to have an empty basket
I really hate my GE washer. It bothers all the time. Hopefully this will work.

Thank you for your help, can you please try to post a better picture of diagnosis list ?
Soak cycle soak for 30 minutes on every normal wash . Can I cancel the soak wash on the normal wash cycle
God Bless you and your family your videos have help me so much 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤ Thanks
Your welcome! I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks guy great video
Hello! I put a new mode shifter in a machine like this
I used2 times & works fine but the next day gives me the same problem!
any suggestions?
I would rerun the mode shifter and try to get another. Sounds like you got a faulty one.
What does the drive system look like? What's inside the GE washer transmissions?
I just replace the control board in mine after it displayed multiple faults. Repain guy also said it was the control board. Here’s hoping that is the only thing I need to do.
Best of luck!
Thanks, but how do I unlock the same model, when the lock is stuck and cold restart or diagnostics doesn’t resolve or show any problem.
Hold the power button until it unlocks mine did that
@@russellparker8796 Thanks. I tried that, but didn’t work. So I removed the top cover and flipped the door up to remove and unstuck the lock mechanism. Ordered the replacement part, as even though I unlocked the mechanism and reinstalled cover…still thinks the unit is locked.
Thank you it worked. But after my wash is finished and clothes in dryer there is water dripping into the tub, i have to turn off the taps
Sounds like you have leaky water inlet valves in the washer.
I have this exact model. Hope I can figure it out

This is so stupid!
Any idea why mine is throwing 6 codes?
What do you do if the sensefill light is on and the machine won’t turn off?
He he washer and dryer combo shows a lock simple when trying to turn the knob to select a setting it won’t

K good 9jk9i9 see how j see 9 Jim i9j
what does is mean if the "error code" lights don't match?
Mine give me 2 light then skip then 2 light and that combo doesn't show on list
How do you reset the codes back out
But how can I unlock the door to replace it?
Mine has an error of Leak Defected displayed
Mine is getting error code 5 I already replace motor and shifter motor
The most obvious error code is that this washer has a GE logo. Ha! I can say that because I have this exact model.
Well said!

Can you describe what is going on with the washer? Filling with water? Not starting? Not filling? It's hard to troubleshoot without being there...
Help me also please before I reset it I had 2 light then skip and then 2 light. Doesn't show on error chart... it violent shake and fills under tub not the tub
