GE stacked error codes

[@nancyhall5721]

Thank you so much for making this video. I am a almost 62 year old female and I just replaced the drain pump on my washer. You saved me a lot of money. Thanks!

[@bozdoz]

To exit service mode: do the same thing as entering service mode: rotate cycle selector to any position except 6, press start and FS button at same time, wait 3 seconds, rotate cycle selector to 6, wait 3 seconds, release both buttons.

[@karenwynns9843]

If you are having a speed sensor issue. The speed sensor is located on the motor. It's a 40 dollar part and is easy to change. Don't buy a new motor!!! The sensor and the sensor clip are sold separately so by both parts tossup them out. Mine has went out twice since I have owned the machine and both times its fixed the problem. This video is great for this machine and it tells you almost everything to know. Thanks for taking. the time to do it.

[@carloscea5411]

Hey thanks, how about the dryer of the same stacked machine ?Can you make a video on error codes?

[@daveaustin4609]

Dude! I know you made this video over a year ago, but you just made my day! I’ve been having troubles with my machine and you helped me fix it. Thank you so very much

[@2smokesnifer]

I'm helping my neighbor with his washer. It is making a horrendous sound because the gears are not fully engaging on the transmission causing it to slip. This has manifested as an ON/SPIN error code in diagnostics. thanks for these videos, they are a big help.

[@Padandi]

I have about 200+ of these washers and the #1 complaint I get is how loud it operates during spinning cycle. Is there something that can be done to help?

[@waltimus]

Thanks for the helpful and informative video. Just showing me how to take off the front panel was helpful. I found my belt laying on the ground completely undamaged. Probably saved me quite a bit of money in getting a repairman to come out.

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Awesome video, I have alot of these units at my apartment community that I handle the Maintenance on. 👍👍 I've had to replace a few tub assembly's after having the tub leak

[@clark6648]

I need to diagnose the dryer on our stackable GE laundry. Do you have codes for that? Thanks!

[@leej6886]

Same. Please help

[@glennhemperley8475]

My error code was blocked motor. I followed your steps and it worked great. However the same problem happened again and it's clear of any obstruction any insight on what's causing it?

[@jeanwendyorphee212]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PATIENT TO DRAW AND EXPLAIN ALL THOSE USEFUL INFORMATIONS. KEEP IT UP.

[@hunterbrowncomposer8990]

Thank you so much man. The GE laundry center in my condo crapped out last Fall so I had it replaced with a new one of the same model. I feel like if I had known about your content, I might have been able to fix it myself and not had to replace it, but I'm glad to know that you've got these videos if I end up having issues with the new one.

[@helenroland2180]

I just wanted to say that me and my husband are so greatful for your videos! It saved us a repair bill and my husband's sanity. Again THANK YOU! Who know that it could be so simple!

[@anthonydover4683]

Hello I have a issue with my washer not getting no power to ,But the dryer works.

[@LarryDominguez-w3r]

I have the same issue...

[@leonharrell9826]

I got a ge washer dryer stack unit, the dryer will not run but 3 or 4 minutes…I’ve replaced the lid switch the thermo discs and the motor and the mother board, and still has the same problem…help….

[@johnnyhardy7754]

I have the same question

[@GoldySliime]

Man I can’t believe how many times a week I reference this video. Thank you man!

[@stephenmoon9770]

Nice video, very helpful. According to the diagnostic I've got a bad pressure switch or mother board. How do I test the pressure switch & clean the diaphragm? The machine starts to fill, stops , then goes into wash mode without water BUT if I disconnect diaphragm hose until water fills up to correct level, it works perfectly! Thoughts?

[@andrebarboza5137]

Very informative. The problem I’m having with my GE is the dryer part.It won’t go. If you press the start button it just buzzes. Is there a way to reset it or is it something that will need a pro like yourself?Thank you for the videos.

[@sandraavila7523]

Same here.. The dryer part of my stacker just doesn't start. The belt and pulley are intact but there's no noise or buzzing sound when I press the on button..

[@JohnDoe-pe6iu]

Great video. How can I have separate power cords for the washer and dryer? Currently my GE stackable washer and dryer combo had only one cord. However I understand the washer and dryer have separate circuits so in theory is it possible to separate the power input such that the washer and dryer each has it own separate power cord? Thanks.

[@nanstable4838]

Do you have a video to troubleshoot the dryer when it stops running? The unit has power because the washet still works .

[@cynthiabridges3234]

Thank you so much for your detailed explanations about codes and where to look. I appreciate the effort you made in doing this.

[@judysandoval312]

I don't see my issue posted by anyone, or on the video. Mine won't run the diagnostic check and it will start to spin but stop after 2 seconds. Then the 'spin' and 'lid locked' lights flash until I turn it off. The 'on' light never comes on during this problem even though it is definitely on.

[@MrFreakleo]

Hi, thank you for this video is good stuff, I have a question mi GE washer/dryer combo is not washing, before the washing process the wash light is just blinking and stays right there, I turned the mob and the same light blinking, that is the only light on, any ideas what could be? Thank you

[@bradbailey7664]

Idk if you check this anymore but recently got a brand new washer GE a week ago worked fine. Now it won't fill with water. It does the 2 pumps and after waiting 10 seconds it doesn't do anything and shuts off...did the diagnostic and showing no codes but tested both cold and hot side and it fills like it should. Take it out of diagnostic and it continues to not fill

[@ms.plivnit7004]

Thank you for producing this video straight forward. I like it that you didn't use Utube's gimmick suggestions. I'll be looking for videos on how to remove the top panel. Also, how do I access the diaphragm to clean it? I can see it's dirty.

[@benm9827]

Your videos helped me do some troubleshooting, but still stumped. Both washer and dryer seem to turn off about the time the washer hits spin. Replaced the door switch that was bad and it now passes. Any ideas?

[@margiebrockert9840]

Dear Mr. Bearded Guy, Want to start off letting you know I am a retired divorced woman on a pretty tight budget, That being said, I am having trouble with my GE stackable and after watching countless videos (yours are the best)I have learned how to diagnose. The issue seems to be when in diagnosis mode and clicked to heavy after a few minutes it works but when it is switched to light, it does nothing. The rinse and spin lights are green. My understanding is that the problem is with the drain pump. It does not appear to be clogged from looking at it (unless I need to take those hoses off to know for sure) Is it possible for you to post a video on how to change the drain pump? I would greatly appreciate it. Either way, thank you for posting these videos as they are super helpful. Sincerely Margie

[@tc00l4u]

On this model the speed sensor is going to be located on the motor underneath the plastic blower blade. super easy to change out after you remove the motor.

[@blakefarr4212]

Great vid very helpful I used your video to diagnose and clear an obstruction in the motor now there are no error codes and it starts and runs like normal until it gets to wash mode and starts to agitate it'll agitate for like two seconds and then stop and the wash light flashes any helper advice on this issue I would greatly appreciate l

[@ReiMonCoH]

Great vid, thank you. I got an overfill code, going to replace the level switch. But the dryer won’t start. Is there any relationship on this model??

[@Rick-Williams59]

Thanks man, you shared info the internet doesn't have, I know, I searched for several hours for a tech sheet pdf. You saved the company I work for from rushing out and replacing the stack. But if anyone has a link to a tech sheet pdf for a GE stack, please share it. Thanks

[@robertwardrop2463]

I’m also searching for that pdf. No luck so far- argh.

[@60burger]

I have a GUD27ESSM1WW, I am trying to get into diagnostic mode, my dial is NOT like your video. Is there somewhere I could view diagnostics for my model?

[@aprilduncan741]

Mine either ugh 😢

[@frankvanderstaay7564]

This is a great video - thank you very much!! Is there a way to bypass the lid lock switch? There is probably a way to connect / disconnect wires in order to bypass the switch and magnet combo. In Canada, the replacement part is over $100!

[@institcheswithcrochet]

My soon cycle is so loud. Not banging just sounds like a jet, you can't stay in the room! What do you think. It's the same brand and model as your tutorial here!

[@davidolguin223]

Hello, thank you for the videos you did really is very helpfully. but I got a question. I replaced the belt for a new one, but belt still come out. Is there any way to adjust it?

[@williamp.harvey6751]

Hey I have this particular model and the dryer won't heal up, I've checked all of the electrical for the breaker to the outlet and the dryer,all is ok there. I don't want to just Start replacing things unnecessarily and waste money, any suggestions on diagnosing?

[@chriswinkel3298]

Do you have to turn on hot water on a GE stackable. It washes fine but then it clicks 5 times and shuts off. Then it try’s to restart and only clicks 4 times. Brand new , hose was bad and wife said all she uses is cold water so i didn’t hook up hot water. Thanks. Chris

[@christiangaucin9400]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU SAVED ME FROM TEARING THE WASHER APART

[@sharkheadgaming621]

So I have this stacked unit and when the washer fills and the agitator kicks it there is a loud grinding/rubbing sound while it is agitating. Also it is very loud in it's spin cycle however it does sound out and the agitator does work. It is such a loud sound though that it is intolerable I was told by an appliance repairman that it was the transmission or a bearing in the transmission and $80 part. At that time I wasn't able to order that part so it was wanting to run this by you and see if you could tell me if it is the transmission or the bearing/pulley alone as it is functional it's just very loud. I would like to possibly order the part online and replace it before selling this unit It was an expensive unit and I hate to just throw it out or sell it for 100 bucks.

[@angelswings115]

Mine GE is making that noise on my rinse cycle 😮 would it be my drain pump (like rocks in my washer). My clothes still comes out a little wet like it hasn’t fully did the spin cycle. I need to get my husband to do the test but it’s definitely making noises during the rinse cycle.

[@handydad7608]

Are there error codes for the dryer function?

[@brengolf1]

Have you seen where all the lights come on and stay solid (no blinking)? When I run through the test mode, the lights still stay solid. I'm leaning towards the main control board as the problem.

[@JordanBarlow-rb8wb]

Had a pair of undergarments locked up in the motor shaft. Theyre out and free now but motor will start to spin and then flash spin code and stop washer. Any ideas?

[@beautifulsoul6144]

What if the lights don't flash?? Did exactly what you said for diagnostic and all of the lights turn on except for the lid lock, but they don't flash. Thanks!!

[@aprilduncan741]

Mine as well

[@skidogmt]

This is great information and appreciate the time you spent getting out to the world. I have the Kenmore version of this unit in our rental and walked through the diagnostics procedure you detailed to find out why it was not running. I had the blocked motor error (on light and spin light). I took the front cover off and found socks and panties inside the cabinet with one of the panties being wrapped around the motor pulley assembly. What I have observed is when in the agitate test, the motor tries to engage with a couple pulses (a couple relay clicks) and then engages solid for about 2-3 seconds and then the motor stops and the spin light flashes. I hit the play/pause again and the motor starts agains for about 1 second and turns off. When I drained the tub and tried the spin feature, a couple clicks with the motor engaging with the clutch and it took right off. Any thoughts on why it will not agitate but will spin? I can rotate the pulley but noticed it does not glide as well as yours in the video when you gave it a push. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

[@jakemcmahon5603]

Have the same issue. I just bought it used. Socks must have jammed the motor and ripped off 2 little wires. Don't know where they connect to, need to call a serviceman unless someone can tell me where they attach to. Looks like a pink and a blueish green.

[@jogeep1]

hey dude thanks for the help, was wondering if that little fan thing on the motor is real important, I just pulled the motor on my GE stack and that looks like the only thing that is busted. It was really loose and melted. I think that is why its giving me an error. Thanks for your advice. Frog

[@mrpeabodythethird]

I have a stackable unit and it is a real pain in the you know what! I cleared the error codes (don't know what the code was or what it meant) and then tried to restart the machine... After restarting the machine using the same wash cycle setting it goes back to rinse cycle and then it fills and empties, fills and empties, fills and empties, fills and empties.... doesn't spin at all or do anything else. I just changed the cycle setting from heavy to medium and now it's finally beginning to spin and do something different. No idea... At least I'll know to look for an error code next time I have this problem. This is happened to me on numerous occasions. Usually, if I just reset it it goes back to normal operation.

[@richardnalder4001]

I have a ge stackable. When I turn on the power or plug it in. It blinks the lid lock. When I have the dial in the 12 o’clock position and hold frantic softener button and start for a few seconds and then turn dial to 6 o’clock position I get no blink except for the lid lock. All other lights are lit up. Except the lid lock is still blinking. Every other dial zone displays the same results. If unplug the lid lock part and put it back on the machine will run properly for at least one load then the problem starts over.

[@Beeglax33]

Great Vid thanks. On mine the spin light blinks and the lid lock light is illuminated any ideas? Thanks

[@calinanderson177]

Hi señor, I was wondering if you could help me, my washer has stopped filling with water, but 1. I’ve replaced the inlet valve, 2. I’ve diagnosed it and no error codes come up, and 3. The only thing it does do is turn on, the you select a wash then it pours water in the tank 2 times then locks the door then nothing. I can’t figure it out, can you help me please?

[@adampozniak6586]

What about some info on speed sensor on the motor and is location. On the blocked motor code? Clothes caught in the motor can pull that sensor off the motor

[@wernerostermann5301]

At the start of this process the lights on my machine do not flash but just light up steady green except for the lid locked light, which doesnt light up. Any suggestions?

[@megatron_steel704]

These are good tips, do you know how reset it?

[@TheIhlender]

I have a blocked motor code. In the test settings it try’s to agitate but stops. In the spin mode it clunks then will spin. The motor when turned by hand turns smoothly as does the drum. What do you think it is.

[@Moscoviya2009]

Thank you for the video. How do you open the front cover on the bottom washing machine?

[@johnsparks6949]

Puddy knife

[@HeleneLogan]

Thank you so much! This verifies that the belt is loose/broken. So so helpful!!

[@harrybennett7507]

Thanks so much for this and the other video. They have been very helpful servicing my own unit.

[@hikebikeeat6552]

I know it's a year old video but if you happen to check comments, why would I get flashing "on & rinse" lights every time I try to wash a blanket. I have to pull the blanket out and then it works again. And will finish washing blanket.

[@lynnettew7820]

Hello, im not able to get my washer to go into diagnostics mode. Also, the lid stays locked even after having no power

[@sharonh9242]

I have a GE stackable . Status codes all green except Lid Locked. Machine will go into a discharge cycle without spinning on its own... Any ideas ? Aloso water is leaking from what I can tell is from the water hose connections. Thanks

[@bryonmaddas3358]

Ive got a technician coming out on Wednesday. But, I had a new machine installed and it was working. Now, the machine powers on, I press "Start", the lights go to "Wash" but no water is coming out. And, yes, the water is turned on. Where is my water lol.

[@michaelcastelli2485]

Good morning Sir. Sorry to bother you with this, but maybe, since you are the specialist, you can tell me what is going on and how to fix it. I have a GE stackable (here in Mexico it's called MABE), Model #MCL1740PSBB02, Serial # 1510C00058, and it doesn't work. I have 3 lights on constantly, WASH, RINSE and SPIN. I have tried to reset it with no luck. The control board has been replaced in May of this year. The machine worked until last night. I've unplugged it, plugged it back again and with the 3 lights ON, if filled with water and did a cycle. It still has water in it since last night, but it doesn't "drain, spin " or anything. Any suggestions on what could cause all this? Thank you for your time and effort.

[@arodmarie8]

I need your help. Why is my washer stopping on rinse. The cycle is not completing. Two days prior the water was filled to the top and that is when I noticed the cycle did not complete. Now, the water is not filled to the top but my clothes are soaking wet and the cycle still stops at rinse and does not finish. HELP

[@Glamchick94]

So I have a GE stackable, and the rinse and spin light are blinking when I wash clothes and it doesn’t spin and drain enough. I pressed the start and fabric button and turned to 6 but none of the lights blink they are all just on. Then stay on when I turn to 3x. Any advice?

[@l14cv93]

So my GE stackable doesn't have the water valve you show at 9:00. That area is just completely empty. Where else would that be in the unit? I have leaking on the very back left of the unit and cannot tell where it's coming from. It's in a laundry closet in a condo so I don't have easy access to the back. Model is GUD27ESSJ1WW.

[@nadreggid]

Thanks! Hey, My gud27eesnww vro54931c won't go into diagnostic mode. I have tried the secret handshake you recommended and several alternates. Any advise?

[@brendahoran8445]

My spin cycle won’t shut off. Even after doing all the diagnostics. Maybe a part problem?

[@spikeokc]

Bearded Nathan is AWESOME - He'll getcha runnin' again!!! Send him a DETAILED message, not, 'My washer's broke, how do I fix it', tell him what it's doing and what you've done to figure it out! Then, when he gets you runnin' again, send him some money.....you KNOW HOW MUCH it would cost you to get a technician to your house!!!

[@kevinmay-hu5jo]

I have this model but get the spin and rinse lights flashing sometimes. Smells hot/burning. then stops and takes a few minutes to lid to unlatch. any suggestions?

[@jean-louislampron5338]

Tank you man you saved my life a couple of time realy appreciated that you take the time to make this usefull vidéo Ps : i liked the board

[@zfour814]

Had the blocked motor code. Couldn't find anything blocking it but both terminals near the motor had their wires torn out

[@melawese]

Same issue for me! Were you able to find a solution?

[@nadreggid]

Thanks! Hey my gud27eesnww vro54931c has a little different button config, and I tried several secret handshakes to get it into diagnostic mode, but no go. Any hints?

[@donnafilion4905]

Hi I did what you said and the spin error code came up. I did have something wrapped around at the bottom of the motor and I removed it but still nothing working. I noticed there was a loose wire with a little plug on it after i ripped the clothes out. I would send you a pic of wire but not sure how to. Do you think the loose wire might be the reason.

[@warrenbeckley9148]

I’m having a code that’s just “rinse and lid lock”. The on light isn’t on with the code. Any ideas on what it can be? Won’t drain or spin, I drained all the water by hand and checked the drain pump for obstruction

[@Duran928]

Not sure if you see this but hope you do, my code it’s giving me is the spin light is lit up. I’ve checked for any obstructions and haven’t found anything at all. Any help or recommendations? Thank you !!

[@jamesewing2847]

How do you replace the speed sensor on a stackable washer and dryer?

[@DaveW-i9z]

We are having a problem that the washer will only work if the dryer is running. Why is that

[@CrashsCreativeChaos]

As SpongeBob would say ... Many years later ........ Totally became student in the front, glasses on, notebook and pen with highlighter nerd and everything was jotted down on my stone tablets for later reference. 😉 Your tutorial was easy to follow and totally teachable. I now have a scenario for you? Say i have a friend of a friend of another friend's distant fourth cousin on Father's side related to the Beverly Hillbilly clan way back when... When spin button is pushed, the spin thing a ma jig contraption with teeth and motor works great after the decade it takes to slowly connect the teeth... The motor starts to spin and air is blowing in the wind... How can it spin with the belt attached and the belt in protest not moving rebellion still? Wouldn't the belt break or fly off or the motor not spin? Is this magic from those legendary Atlantis/Tartaria genius inventor's?😮😂 Basically, everything is working but the belt but it's attached.... What would you voice about that per chance or happenstance? Fictitiously speaking of course?❤❤❤😊

[@Yellow-yd6cz]

Hi, I just replaced the washer drive belt, and was hoping that it would fix it, but on a test run, it makes a clicking sound and then doesn’t spin at all.. I dunno what to do

[@Tressworker]

My machine is flashing top middle bottom then second & forth light back & forth in diagnostics mode, at the 4th spot. You didn’t mention that code. Any idea what the issue could be?

[@gesyka79]

I can't get into service mode. I'm doing exactly how you described, but the lights don't flash. Any ideas?

[@GeorgeDiaz-t1b]

Why would all the clothes go to one side of the tumbler while on the wash or spin cycle

[@Rambo-nh2iw]

Hi there, I have a stacked GE unit like this that has been sitting in a garage for about a year. Its clean but now that I have moved and need it, the dryer is making a very unhappy motor noise when I turn it on and it'll run for about 5 seconds then shut off with a hot electronics smell. I've unhooked tube to check for blockage on vent and same result. Any ideas?

[@danielshipman8221]

Excellent! Although I have yet to tackle the problem, I am confident that the cause will be discovered. Going to run test codes now.

[@jesserast7631]

Would an over fill error code effect spin/drain? Because thats my error code and the washer wont go into spin and drain on its own unless i test it in diagnostics

[@georgecardenas5632]

Not receiving any error codes, but my lid lock does not activate during a regular cycle. It does activate while in diagnostics though?

[@markmitchell641]

I am looking to purchase a 3 ye old GE stacked unit. Nice looking but seller says washer “tends to go off balance but it helps to run on ‘bulky’”. I don’t know the model number. Could this be any easy fix like the rubber straps or should I stay away from it? Thanks.

[@BeardedApplianceRepair]

Could be the suspension rods if it is getting o of balance. Or if the thing wasn’t level. If it is the rods the front ones won’t be any trouble but the back ones will be. You may have to take the dryer off the replace the rear ones. I may stay away from it if I were you. Unless you like challenges. Or it could be as easy as making sure it is level.

[@jimsewell5398]

New GE stackable as you video shows will come on portable turn on once twice shuts off and won't do anything else what's the problem

[@barryolsen1348]

My machine fills, agitates for a second or two and stops. with the wash light on. Does the same in #9 diagnostics. Saw no reference in video for wash light only error code? Can you help point me in the right direction to repair (for my senior neighbor)?

[@eladthekila]

Same problem with mine. Did you happen to figure it out?

[@trishfarber7313]

I think a very small sock slid in between the drum and the machine. I cannot see it. It was a very small sock and the machine is working. Is it safe to leave it alone if i am not having a problem?

[@fyichokwan]

You think you can show how to replace those parts?

[@mikediles2216]

Hey sir how you doing today. My question is the shifter hub comes down but transmission pulley starts to spin before the shifter hub locks in no debris or anything of that nature

[@smegadood7880]

just changed gear case was leaking giving me an error ..not it wont agitate although it spun up once nice an smooth and fast but now its just erratic starts to agitate but fails with a blinker tried reseting it erratic will fill but cant seem to complete an operation wondering if its the hall effect sensor or wax motor or mobo oh often i heard some clackty noises the coupler were taking time to click in and the pump seems to run extensively at times before a spin or agitate would take place

[@owenjones8075]

How do you reset the codes once fixed and exit diagnostics??

[@dillonn.3541]

Motor spins but the tub doesn’t move, motor doesn’t have enough strength to spin the tub. Moving the tub by hand, it feels like there’s some resistance
