Washer displays E57 and may not drain or may stop with water in the tub.

Safety First: Unplug the washer and be prepared for water spillage when opening the pump area.

• Manual drain: If your GE washer has a drain filter access, open it slowly and drain water into a shallow pan. Otherwise, lower the drain hose into a bucket.
• Check for clogs: Remove the pump filter (if present) and clear any lint, coins, or debris. Inspect the pump impeller for obstructions.
• Inspect hoses: Check the tub-to-pump and pump-to-drain hoses for clogs or kinks. Remove and flush them if needed.
• Test pump: With the washer unplugged, disconnect the pump wires and measure resistance across the pump terminals. Typical values are 10–40 Ω. If open or shorted, replace the pump.
• Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the control to the pump for damage or loose connectors.
• Replace pump: Remove mounting screws, disconnect hoses, and install the new GE drain pump. Ensure clamps are tight to prevent leaks.
