20 Most Recent GE WJSR4160DWW Top Load Washer Questions & Answers

So it pumps water out but never spins? It's designed to pump water out first before spinning begins.

FIRST IS ALL THE WATER BEING PUMPED OUT? SOMETIMES IF IT IS NOT THE SPIN WILL BE SLOW. ALSO CHECK BY LOOKING IN THE BACK OF WASHER THAT NOTHING IS CAUSING A DRAG ON THE TUB. CHECK THAT THE BELT IS NOT LOOSE AND SLIPPING.

Are you having a problem replacing the timer or wondering if you should replace the timer?

We have a GE WJRR4170 washer, with the same problem. At first I thought I might have to unscrew the entire control panel just to replace the knob. However, replacing the knob turns out to be easy.

Right behind the knob, holding it in place, is a nylon/plastic retainer clip. If you pull out the knob (into the "start" position), you will get easier access to the retainer clip. You can use a flathead screwdriver to push the clip out. The knob then will slide easily off the metal stem. A GE replacement knob costs $9 or $10, depending on the source.

Shame on GE, but the knob is designed terribly. The part of it that engages the dial has eight, flimsy plastic teeth. At any time, four of these are supposed to engage four little slots in the dial. However, the way the knob is designed, there will be a lot of wear and tear on these plastic teeth, so they'll wear out on every single machine.

Good luck to the many people who will have this problem!

• Balance the load
• Level the machine
• Inspect the water pump for a blockage
• Inspect the coupling
• Inspect the transmission
• Adjust the drive belt tension
• Check the motor bearings
• Check the drum brakes

Let us just see what 6 flashes mean:
Aha 6 flashes: locked motor check for objects between tubs
Once yall remove the objects yall might have to reset the motor inverter to do so:

Shut off the control. Unplug the machine for one minute. Plug back in and raise and lower the lid six times within 12 seconds. You might have to repeat this more than once.

Hi

If the washer is not draining then it is due to a clogged drain pump or a drain filter or a kinked drain hose. To resolve the issue you'll need to clean the drain hose, inspect if the drain hose is plugged. If the hose is fine, then remove the front kick panel and access the drain pump and filter, if you are unable to find the pump and filter remove the back panel as well and trace the drain hose to the bottom of the tub. There is a drain filter connected with the drain pump. It usually gets clogged, and needs to be cleaned every 6-8 months or so. The drain filter is a small white filter connected to drain pump with a hose. If it still doesn't work then you'll need to check the connections of the drain pump, check the electrical connections with a multimeter. If it still doesn't work then you would need to replace the drain pump. Hope this helps...
