How to Fix

In Today's Video, We have a GE Washer, in Which the Complaint Was that it Came on By itself and would not shut off, unless you unplugged it from the Outlet.

    Thanks dude for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise. Mine had codes 7,17,25 and 26….but I never found evidence of a leak. I ordered the part from your link…replaced it and it was doing the same thing. Pissed off, so I drank a beer and walked away. My wife hunted me down and thanked me for fixing the washer. So, if you replace the valve and your pump is still running…let it run for a bit and see if it stops after 15 minutes or so.

    Thank you so much for sharing your video. We ordered the GE part and after watching your video, we were able to repair our washer. We weren't getting any pressure with our hot water. The cold water was working fine. The process was simple, thanks to your video. We really appreciate you helping us out and saving us money during this scary time with covid.

    Great video. Helped immensely, even though my codes were slightly different. One other note, the factory maintenance printout is in a plastic pouch inside the washer frame. Accidentally found them when i tilted mine up from the bottom. That printout also had a bunch of tests that you can run through; most importantly for me, how to clear the codes after replacing the inlet valve using the rotary knob after entering the test mode (code 16 if i remember correctly).

I went to check and it had filled with the correct amount of water. But the FILL light just stayed on and machine wouldn't start washing. He checked error codes and got A LOT. 7 was one of them . Is there a way to reset these codes? I have scoured online and your video is only help I can find on this machine, so thank you for sharing. And any advice on what to do next?

    I have the same washer. Right now mine is randomly waking up and beeping like buttons are being hit, and doesnt register input, but will randomly work. Ive heard its a bad control board, which is unfortunate, because those cost almost as much as a new washer at that point. Im really disappointed by modern appliances these days, this washer is only ablout 3-4 years old, and its main board has already failed. Ge only offers a 1 year limited warranty.

  • @alchemy1

    Mine quits agitating after it fills. Then if left alone, then the machine just shuts off. The error seem to point to 10 and 19 I think. Both the fault code was pointing to shift mode issue. And the shift mode works just fine. The machine when put on drain and spin functions perfect. Question: Can bad bearing effect the agitating cycle far more than spin mode? I can tell it has compromised bearing due to its sound.

    Know what this issue could be? GE model The start button doesn’t turn the machine on, only when I turn the nob will it turn on. Then, occasionally it won’t allow me to actually start a load, no matter what settings I try- so I will unplug it. Then while it’s washing, it will change the settings multiple times during the washer and leave the cloths soaked. So then I will have to do a spin and drain cycle. Sounds like a sensor? Or an issue that’s fixable? Or hire someone out?

If I reset error code in machine will start again. But not go past letting water in & stops. Machine will run all technician tests, spin agitate water valve etc. test. I replace control board with a used control , same issue. Replaced lid switch. Machine does not get to lock lid sequence., but will lock lid in technician test mode.
