I have the same model washing machine. Several times a year the tub jumps out of one of the support rods. It happened again this week, so I removed the front of the machine and reseated the support rod. I also noticed that the flood hose had become detached. I reached up to try to reconnect to the outer tub, but it just fit loosely in the hole, so I left it detached.
The next day my wife told me she didn't think the machine was spinning properly. I confirmed that fill & drain worked OK, but at start of spin cycle, the machine would hum like it wanted to spin, but nothing would happen. I could not help the tub along with my hand, so I guessed there might be an obstruction. I didn't find any rogue socks to blame, but then I remembered the flood hose. I checked out a parts schematic of the tub, and as I suspected, there is a rubber gasket-like part that joins to the flood hose from inside the outer tub. WIth the flood hose off, I guessed that the gasket was now wedged between the tubs, impeding movement.
I removed the machine top and the tensioners at the top of the tub, unlatched the tub cover ring, and there it was. I reattached the flood hose using the gasket, put it all together again, and I was back in business.
I didn't run across this as a possible explanation of the tub not spinning, so I hope this might be of use to someone else!

Remove the front panel, then look at the motor to see what codes the motor is flashing. There should be a green light on the motor that will be flashing. Post back your findings.

Why won't water drain from my front load washer?

Check the door switch..Most washers won't drain or spin if the switch is not closed. It could be loose. Look for two small screws on the side opposite the door hinges and make sure they are tight. you can also try depressing the switch with a screwdriver with the door open. If it works, the switch is good it's just loose. If it doesn't you probably need a new switch.

Ge washer not draining or spinning

Im 99.9% sure its the lid switch. You can bypass the lid switch but for safety reasons I recommend replacing it.

GE Washer wont drain. Wont agitate, does nothing. Washer is part of a stackable unit about 4-5 yrs old. Checked circuit breakers and electrical and water supply. What should I check? Are there fuses inside...

If the motor isn't running, the lid switch may be defective. If so, the washing machine can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.
Here is a link to the part you need.

My GE washer won't go into drain/spin. Clothes are still soaking wet. Model number WDSB208DDRWW

It would be helpful to know the model number of the GE washer you own to be able to be more specific but ...

Many washing machines run fine with the door open until it comes to the spin cycle (for safety reasons). Confirm that the door is full closed after you have added the detergent.

If the door closed, the micro switch that senses if the door is closed may have failed or be out of alignment.

Please report back here what you have found. OK?
