GE WASHER MODEL GFWH1200HOWW RUNNING EXTRAAA LONG ON WASH CYCLES??
Hello Heather
Good to see you again.
Also check the small strainers on the water connectors. They can block up with limescale and debris. While the connectors are off, turn on the water into a bucket or a sink. You should have a VERY powerful jet of water. Anything that will reduce flow will lengthen the fill time and therefore to total wash time due to fill and rinses. When it pumps out, also check you have good flow in the drain hose and items can jam in the ridges and catch lint enough to block them almost completely.
One clever thing to do is whilst the water inlet connectors are off, unlock the drain hose, unhook the part that makes the hook, put the round connector in the hose and wrap a tea towel around it. Get someone to turn the water on full bore whilst you are gripping the two hoses together. Run it for a full minute. Water will be flushed into the machine through the pump in reverse. Put everything back and run a rinse and spin with nothing in it, look at all the black lint that is pumped out! I did that once at work and found an apple stalk that had lodged across the ridges of the drain hose which had 90% blocked the pipe.

Winterizing a washer in a summer cabin
Just remove the drain hose from the drain upstand pipe and lower it to the floor. It will empty the pump or water.You can also drop a pint of car anti freeze into the machine just to be sure if you wish.

GE GUD27ESSM1SS stackable washer dryer stuck in spin cycle
A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the control board may stop the spin cycle several times to try to balance the clothes. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

My GE top load washer model 110.27062603 will not run through a full cycle. Sometimes it washes, but 17 minutes showing, jumps to 2 minutes, then shuts off with 'OL' error code.
OL = Overloaded.
Is the Washer overloaded? If OL (overloaded) appears in display, the load too large. If an overload is detected, the washer will drain any water and detergent in the washer. Remove several items and add HE detergent.Feb 24, 2020

My GE GFW650 front-load washer skips directly to end without spinning clothes dry.
If your GE GFW650 front-load washer is skipping directly to the end of the cycle without spinning the clothes dry, there are a few possible causes that you can investigate:
1. Unbalanced Load: If the load of laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum, the washer may not be able to balance it properly during the spin cycle. This can cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Try rearranging the clothes in the washer and restarting the cycle.
2. Blocked Drainage: If the washer is unable to drain water from the drum, it may skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Check for any blockages in the drainage system, such as a clogged drain hose or filter. Clean or replace any blocked components.
3. Faulty Motor: If the motor that drives the spin cycle is malfunctioning, it may cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. This is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair.
4. Malfunctioning Control Board: If the washer's control board is malfunctioning, it may not be able to properly control the spin cycle. This can cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Again, this is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair.
If none of these solutions work, or if you are uncomfortable performing any of the troubleshooting steps, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

How to take apart and repair a 1984 GE top-loading washing machine.
Repairing a washing machine can be a complex and potentially dangerous task. It is recommended that you have some experience with repairing appliances before attempting to disassemble and repair a washing machine. Here are the general steps for taking apart and repairing a 1984 GE top-loading washing machine:
- Unplug the washing machine from the power source and turn off the water supply to the machine.
- Locate the screws that hold the control panel in place, typically found on the back of the machine. Remove the screws and carefully lift the control panel up and away from the machine.
- Locate the cabinet clips that hold the cabinet in place, usually found at the top of the front panel of the machine. Use a flathead screwdriver to push the clips inwards and release them from the cabinet.
- Tilt the cabinet forward and lift it up and off of the washing machine. Place the cabinet aside.
- Locate the pump, motor, and transmission assemblies at the bottom of the machine. Check for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as broken belts or damaged bearings.
- If you need to replace a part, carefully remove the old part and replace it with a new one.
- Once the repairs are complete, carefully reassemble the machine by following the above steps in reverse order.
- Turn on the water supply and plug the machine back in to test it.
If you encounter any issues during the repair process or are unsure about how to proceed, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional repair technician.
