Question edited for clarity, capitalization and typo. Question moved from MISC to make category. Sound like a control board issue or connection issue. Call for service for correct diagnosis. If it is old, consider replacement.

if drive belt ok check under agitator and replace worn cogs

Suck some air out of hose. Needs negative pressure when empty. You can try to fill basin up to max fill level. Disconnect hose to let pressure bleed off. Drain, and you should be set

It sounds like the drain pump itself is damaged--the important clue was the humming noise. It could be bound up mechanically or the impeller could be damaged and just vibrating instead of spinning. The part number for the drain pump is WH23X10026. The fact that the pump was humming tells me that the 120v supply is being turned on by the main control board and that the wiring is good all the way to the pump. When I service customers, I try to save the pump if possible in clog cases. Most of the time, they aren't damaged from a simple clog. But, occasionally, the impeller cracks, or the nylon blade gets loose on the shaft, or the motor windings have defects from heat, etc.

It is usually caused by worn Clutch Dogs or a fault with the Gearbox. It is a messy job and requires special tools. Call for service. Or depending on age, buy a new energy efficient front loader. Less water, electricity and detergent.

Hi, Based on the limited info I'd suspect the drain hose is lying down on the floor or is pushed down into the stand-pipe too far. If the drain hose is below the water level entering the washer it will siphon out immediately. The drain hose must be above the highest point the washer has to fill, and if it is in a stand pipe insure it isn't pushed in too far, just a few inches and then secure it without completely covering over the opening or that too will cause it to siphon. Do you hear any motor operating while this is happening ? If you answered NO, this further support's the idea of the washer siphoning out the water it is supposed to fill with. Check your drain hose. Let me know if this was indeed the case and if so please rate the solution accordingly. Thank's for coming to "fixya" and good luck. Macmarkus :)

Hello Sounds like your likely problem would be the Display Board or User Interface Board part # WH12x10544 , Hope this helps .

Although you posted that a few years ago, I'll still give my 25¢ From top left to right: red pin, blank blank Middle left to right: black, white, blue Bottom left to right: orange, yellow, purple Top left pin (red) is positive and 1st left pin in middle (black) is negative. Straight 120v, but I don't know how to vary the speed by utilizing the other pins

Try buttons "dry" & "spin" together for a few seconds. This is the child lock display.

Or press "end of cycle" for over 5 seconds.

Or press "options & select" till the light goes off.

Works for other machines..............And please rate me if helped

I would check the drum bearing and mounting.

check drain, screen, and hose for clog and buildup

Yes, you can try a power cycle on it, but you probably need a service call. Likely a control board issue.

You need to replace the machine. Most parts are no longer available and the part that is likely to be faulty is not even listed on the schematic! The type of machine has a mechanical timer. If you can get into the top unit, you could try spraying some WD40 into any gaps you can see in the lump at the back of the main control knob. There is a small synchronous motor that drives it. https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90150.pdf Top parts schematic.
