Possible Causes

Door or lid lock not engaging, Worn drive belt, Failed motor or inverter, Unbalanced load protection repeatedly aborting spin

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • Check lid/door lock: Ensure the lock engages during spin. If the lid can be opened freely, replace the GE lid lock or door lock assembly.
  • Redistribute load: Evenly spread clothes and remove heavy items. Run a spin-only cycle.
  • Inspect belt and motor: Remove the rear or bottom panel and check the drive belt and motor pulley. Replace a worn belt.
  • Run diagnostic spin test: Many GE models have a service mode spin test; use it to verify motor operation. Replace the motor or inverter if it fails.
