GE spacesaver stack washer & dryer: The washer won't engage the drain or spin cycle. I've checked the switch on the lid, and when the lid is closed and you turn the knob to the "drain/spin" cycle, the motor hums, but no action. I have pulled the knob to off immediately, for fear of burning out the motor. What's going on?
Hello Dorothy - Does the drain pump make a humming noise? If so, there may be a restriction in the drain line or siphoning. Otherwise since it is such a complex unit I would recommend contacting a professional to have either the pump or timer diagnose.
It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.
