How do you wash one rug? I can't get the machine

How do you wash one rug? I can't get the machine to spin out and winging it over my head in the back yard was not fun! I used the heavy duty cycle as the rug was heavy but without a full load, it won't spin out. The rug is sopping wet. Tried to self spin it outside and then put it into the washer on a drain/spin cycle and it still won't spin enough to get the water out.

You dont say how big this rug is, but I am guessing its not big enough to spreadevenly around the machine. The machine senses an imbalance and willo not spin or failos to spin at a rate that would rekove the water. Try adding some balance to the drum with another object that will evenly spread the load to see if that helops to get rid of the sopping water.
BTW any pictures of you whipping the rug around in the backyard? That should make for Utube fame!

We washed a throw rug and it oversuds. Removed the rugs and suds. Now the washer won't rinse or spin.

Hi - Im unsure what would have caused this problem - try this though as I think the pump may actually be glogged.

Advance the machine to spin and see if the pump would operate? - if it doesn't the you need to sccoop the water out and clear out the pump..

I will come back to check if you have sorted this out a little later..

Throw rugs are dripping wet after washing. My washer doesn't have just a spin cycle, so I have to rinse and spin. This still doesn't help. Every rug I wash comes out dripping.

The washer is likely detecting an off balance load with only a rug or two. You may want to try and put more rugs or old towles in to offer a counter balance to alleviate off balance condition. Or, you may consider washing the rugs at a commercial facility. They really are hard on the residential machines, especially if they come apart or the backing comes off.

Was washing my kitchen rug and on the rinse and spin cycle I got an error message, perhaps because the rug was too heavy when wet to spin. I took rug out, water standing in washer, tried to clear error and...

With the Door Lock display on (which is what the red key indicates), are you able to open and close the door?
If so, you probably have a defective door lock assembly. Try unplugging your machine for a couple of minutes and plug it back in to see if it resets itself.

After a wash cycle, the letters UE appeared in the timer window..

UE = Unbalance error.
try to use a low spin speed with loads like rugs, and try to get as even a load as possible. (ie: not just one rug) Don't wash rubber backed rugs, as the backing can break up and clog your machine.

Now, if you are successful washing with the lowest spin speed, you can hold the " Spin Speed " button in while pressing on the power button. Release power button. Now release the spin speed button. Now, press the spin speed button until the next higher spin speed from your last successful spin. Press start. Your washer should now pump out and attempt to reach the new spin speed, without adding any water. (usually about a 14 minute pump and spin cycle) Don't expect to be able to spin out rugs at a high spin speed.

GE Washer won't drain or spin

this is something that you can fix even if your not a technical person . first you have to open the washing machine front panel or back panel , second , follow the DRAIN HOSE to where its connected to a little motor, disconnect the DRAIN HOSE , take the LITTLE MOTOR out and clean it out , it could be clogged.
it happen once and find out the person put the BATH RUG SET
to wash , the rug was so old that pieces of a rubber underneath the rugs clogged the drain , so there was no rinse and no spin.
try it , I hope it helps.
