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.
