General Electric Washing Machines - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

A fuse might of had blown or a there is a problem with the circuit breaker. Or the motor cold be broken for the washing machine the main control board could be having issues that controls the washing machine and allows it to work.

Question edited for clarity. Better known as 'space saving' washing machines, they are a compromise at best. Try presoaking the clothes overnight. Do longer programs. Try changing detergents. Wash twice.

Streched belt or badly adjusted. There is not idler pulley and spring, so adjustment must be from the motor. Zooming in, the drive pully is smooth and has no channel and wall to keep the belt in place. The pulley must be slightly crowned in the middle which centres the belt, but if it is the lightest bit loose, it will derail. Almost designed to fail!. That is a really bad design.https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/ModelSectionParts/GTWN4250M1WS/4/0/0/0/SUSPENSION,_PUMP_&_DRIVE_COMPONENTS..

Check the LED flashing against this chart

Pumping out or leaking out? There are various rubber connectors underneath and they can perish and leak. There is a trick. slide a piece of paper under it. Switch on and after a minute, pull the paper out. It will give you a rough idea where the leak is, front, back, left or right. Then pull the machine out, and tilt it safely against the wall, get someone to hold it and look with a flashlight for the area where the wet patch on the paper was.

I suspect that a mounting tab has broken off the timer. Take the four torx head screws off the back edge of the top of the washer and open up the backsplash to confirm this. I manufacture a make shift Z shaped metal part to hold the timer in place without having to replace the timer.

Empty the filter located on front bottom of the unit. Have some towels at the ready!!

There's a screw at the top of the tail light cover. Remove that and pul whole cover straight out

Make sure the pin in or on the Agitator is not broken or sheared

It really sounds like the belt. You say it's in good shape but if it's loose or shiny from not having proper tension it wont have enough friction between the belt and pulley to actually work. If you've ever tried to move the drum when its full of clothes and water you know how much force id needed to function. Double check that belt tension and working surface.

Sounds as though the motor brushes have gone, replace the motor brushes this should rectify the problem straight away... I hope this helps....

If you try to start it as soon as it shuts off does it hum or buzz & won't start if it does you may have the motor getting hot & shutting off then when it cools down it will start again. This is a pretty common problem. If this is the case you may have to replace motor. Also check all the vents the one going outside should blow out pretty good if not clean it out . Take the vent off the back of the dryer and see how much air is coming out be sure fan is working . May have to clean lint out around fan it can block the fan. Hope this helps Have fun

What is the exact model number? This can be caused by a lot of things and the circuit board is way down the list.

am I to believe that this is a agitator that sits on top of a spindle if so then try and move it by hand as some times the worm and gear cog in the gearbox become sheared or the drive belt is worn and slip easily not giving the power to the agitator I hope that's a start to go on eric
