I own GFWN1100L2WW GE washer. It keeps shutting off and refuses to enter test mode.

A tech looked at it, called GE and then told me I needed a new control board. I put in a new one. Same thing, no test mode. When I leave it alone for an hour, it comes on. As soon as a cycle begins, however, it shuts down, as if overheated.

SOURCE: shutting down on rinse cycle

Hi this could means that you may need to replace the washing machine bearings. Once the bearings are bad, the motor overheats and it will automatically shut down after the first rinse.

SOURCE: Wont spin at end of any cycle

I am a service technician in grants pass oregon and i had the same problem. It told me to replace the board too. I replaced the main boad, Motor control board, door switch and cleaned all the hoses and it still didnt fix it. I had 3 other service technicians look at it ( one from sears ) And nobody could figure it out.

Have you tried to calibrate the speed. If not you might want to try it and see if it will help you with your issue.

SOURCE: Carrier weathermaker sx 58 furnace

I have serviced these furnaces for 20 years and I can tell you most of these models did not have diagnostic lite on them. (although some did, especially if the control board has been replaced) The problem is most likely a bad 3 wire pilot. This will cause exactly what you describe. 2 things to consider though. 1, If you were to replace the pilot don't get a cheaper knockoff. In my experience these do not last long at all. Get the right one from a carrier dealer. It will cost more but be much more reliable. 2 What is the condition of the secondary heat exchanger? Most if not all of the sx series had issues with the secondary heat exchangers rotting out and leaking. If the furnace is out of warranty you would be much better replacing the furnace as the cost of replacing the secondary heat exchanger will probably be almost the same as a new furnace. ( those babies are EXPENSIVE!)

Ge front load washer won't go into rinse cycle.

Check the cold water hose. My brand new machine had this behavior until I discovered a kink in the cold water hose - works great now.

Outer Tub Bearing

Yikes, I would buy a new washer for that price. Also try calling another local appliance tech out and see his price on fixing the problem. You may also be able to fix it yourself but you will have alot to remove

Ge Profile bottom freezer, french door refrig, water filter

Just replace GE's filter with a standard inline filter that hooks to 1/4" water line tubing. Sounds like their filter has no flow rate either...

GE Adora front load washer overloaded now won't start

Washers - Resetting Electronic Controls on a Washer

If there is a pause in the washer cycle, the controls will lock up. The pause can occur because of a power failure or it was put in the test mode at the factory.

Also, if the washer was stopped before the cycle was complete or the consumer has pushed the stop/pause button to temporarily stop the cycle and the cycle is not reset. Over a period of 24 hours, the washer will pump out and spin, but will stay in the final spin.

To correct the situation, shut off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or unplug the washer, then turn the timer knob around and back to any position other than final spin. Verify the water is turned on and restore power. This should resolve the issue.
