GE washing machine turning on by itself. Gtw330ask0ww

[@SassyCat00]

This didn't work the first time, so I just repeated the steps and after the 4th time it stopped. I immediately ran a load of laundry through and everything is perfect. Thank you! (3/27/24)

[@raklee422]

Me too.

[@aaronblackburn2035]

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Just happened to me, and took 30 seconds to correct without costing a dime. Other forums' suggestion would have cost roughly 160$ for a new control board. For anyone who reads this, please try this first, before jumping the conclusion of replacing parts.

[@jonilance9961]

You just saved me the cost of a home repair or possibly a new washer. Looks like your video has helped us all out. I didn't even need my husbands help. How about that. Thanks so much...

[@critzandgiggles]

I am a maintenance tech for a large property management company and this video just saved us a bunch of headache. 60 second fix.All of our appliances are GE. Thank you for taking the time to make this video it is much appreciated

[@sybeliz]

Oh my word!!! Thank you SO much. I’ve looked for a solution to this for a week.Yours was the ONLY one out there.. It reset right away! I’m now, at 2am washing a load of towels! Clear instructions! SO wonderful!! Many thanks!

[@flots4570]

hope it helped

[@johnniebravo971]

You saved me time and money my friend, thank you! I had the same issue you explained, followed your instructions and it worked! I tried everything. GE wouldn’t even try to help me with this, they tried to send out a tech and charge me hundreds for a new control board. Thanks again man!

[@litaepps8621]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am house sitting for family on vacation and their machine just started last night by itself, sounded like it was trying to drain and was empty. Nothing was responding to anything I was trying. I unplugged it hoping overnight it would reset. Nope. I plugged in earlier today and it was still doing it. I took a video and was about to send it to my husband and then I thought to search KZbin…and here you are!! They have a different washer and it reset at 6 clicks. Your instructions worked perfectly!!! Thank you!!!

[@pww6849]

Thank You!! After my 4th try with 7 clicks I started feeling like this was some sort of trickery! Nope, just had to keep reading to find your post. Six worked here too, Thank You!!

[@brandichaffmanrn6911]

OMG sir, you are AMAZING!! Thank you so much for making this video. Was on my way to work this morning and at 5:30 am my machine started doing exactly this!! Went to work at the hospital and I mentioned this to maintenance and they referred your video to me. It TOTALLY worked! Thank you SO much

[@angelasullivan4159]

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Worked like a charm with a different model GE. Thank you!

[@jimandsuzy]

OK, so I just got home and essentially tried what you showed me I lost track of the number of clicks but I got the power button to turn on and off and then it stopped that is the problem stopped. Everything’s perfect now thank you so much. Would’ve never figured this out without this video.

[@JenniferPriestley-k8q]

Thank you so much for posting this. My washer just started "draining" all by itself but with no cycle running and no water in it. I was able to fix it using your method!! After rotating dial 7 clicks all of the lights started blinking and it changed sounds but i just let go and left it alone for a few seconds and it stopped. Then I unplugged it and plugged back in and it seems to be back to normal. So grateful for your video!!

[@edroddy2643]

Thanks .. you saved me $600 . Was just about to go buy new one when I came across your video ,,, I have a whirlpool,,, figured it couldn’t hurt to try ,,, started working on first try ,,

[@juliec931]

I was having issues with my machine and your video immediately popped up and sir you saved me!! Thank you so much!!

[@moriorinvictus6522]

Brother you are the man! thanks for video few trys and it worked noise stopped washing now like a charm cant give you enough praise

[@byut1970]

WOW! I have model #GE GTW460ASJWW (4.5 cu ft top load)-this worked!!! I searched everywhere until I found your video. You are my new SuperHero! And, my husband thinks I’m sooooo smart!

[@lilylolipop]

Thank you!! The washer started running on its own out of nowhere. Tried your trick plus had to turn all the knobs and open/close the lid a few times before it finally reset but now it’s working! You’re a lifesaver! 🙏🏻

[@robertbiocic7038]

12-26-24 washing machine drain pump started randomly running and unplugging and plugging the machine in it still ran. Just did this process and she back to normal and running. Thank you sir!

[@colleenmartyn8044]

Thank you!!!! Only had to do it once and my machine rebooted and stopped acting crazy. Clear instructions. A million thank you's to you sir!

[@flots4570]

Your welcome

[@sanchoproudfoot2]

Just happened to me with a GE model just like this (slightly different model number). Tried your solution and it worked! Running a load right now. Thank you so much. Saved me at least a repair call if not a new washer. Recommended video for this GE model!

[@isabelc9098]

Wow, thank you so much... an appliance guy just told me this morning I needed to buy a new machine and offered me to buy one of his and he would haul mine for free! Of course I'm a Brazilian and I don't trust anyone so I googled "washer started working on its own" and your video came out! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@alittlerainny]

Thank you for being so quick and easy to understand. Your instructions worked like a charm! I didn’t even need to call my dad for help lol you’re the best!

[@patrobinson3766]

Thanks for this video. We've had our GE washer for about 3 years. Had to replace the transmission (under warranty) about 1 year after we bought it. Today it turned on by itself. Followed your instructions and works great...for now! Still shimmies a lot during spin cycles. Have balanced it several times but to no avail.

[@carolalexander8805]

THANKS SO MUCH 🤣. Our washer was turning itself on. Your instructions worked the first time. We are in the closes washing business as I write!

[@rickmaki8451]

Thank you so much, sir. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. I was just going to call maintenance in the morning but I doubt they would've known what to do. Again, thank you so much!

[@moto9492]

Thanks, this worked for me! I did have to go through the steps 3 times. As a follow up I also had to do reset the motor trick (unplug machine for a minute, plug it back in, then lift and close the lid six times within 30 secs). These games we have to play with modern chips, mother boards etc is silly! Bring back simplicity, I say.

[@djreag8614]

HAHA GREAT SALES FEATURE ..."HERE'S WHAT TO DO "

[@realbrownsuga2010]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! WAS THINKIN A GHOST WAS TELLIN ME TO WASH!!!! YOU GAINED NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!’

[@brendahunt9633]

Thank you!!! Worked. This happened to me on this machine about 8 months ago. Didn’t see your video but rather another that had me tilt it at 45 degrees both backward & forward (tough for a 60 year old gal). It eventually started working again. Glad I didn’t save that video😊. Your tip worked perfectly!! Thanks so much.

[@marlyndamoore8687]

This just happened to me… kinda freaked me out & found this video. My washer has more buttons but this totally worked. It took a second like it needed to drain or get to a stopping point but it turned off after a few seconds and now able to much needed laundry. I will be unplugged it when I am done with laundry now. I don’t want it turning on while I’m not home. Thank you so very much 😊 your my hero today.

[@18oldtown]

Amazing. Thank you so very much. I did all this yesterday...the noise stopped but the washer wouldn't start a cycle. I unplugged it and couldn't sleep worrying about the repair bill. I tried again and now I'm running a load of laundry at 2am.

[@donatomartone6799]

Tried your repair video and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks so much. Will try a few cycles to see if it’s back to normal. Very weird a machine starting by itself. Guess the control panel part can mess up and needs resetting.

[@shannonhanson5423]

Thank you for this!! This just happened to me and this video saved me the cost of paying someone to fix it.

[@flots4570]

Your welcome 🙏

[@charmmayagustin3311]

It’s Saturday 8/19/2023. Thank you sir for saving us a lot of money! Followed your instructions and 🎉🎉🎉poof!! Magic. It took me a couple of tries but it worked. God Bless you sir ❤

[@jprbeam]

You are a saint my friend! I had to do this twice with our GE machine, and everything works again. Thank you so much for posting this video!

[@yoga8334]

Just walked into the house from doing errands and found my GE washer (panel looks just like yours) running and making the noise you described (pretty well). Did your secret process. It worked after the 4th try. Thanks for the video

[@yoga8334]

Interesting, just watched another video where the guy attributes the problem to the water valve not closing completely, which results in a miniscule drip, which causes the water flow sensor to activate. That activation in conjunction with the machine being off, causes the machine to get very confused and to start running. His fix is to replace the electric valve assembly. This got my interest because I noticed just a few drops of water inside my machine when I discovered it running unexpectedly. That video is titled "How to Fix #GE #Washer NOT Shutting Off and Blinking Display | GE Error Code 7". Not exactly the same model but very similar. This one has an electronic display panel, while mine does not. If the problem occurs again, I will replace this part. I would feel more comfortable actually having done something to fix the problem, rather than just making it go away for a year. Again, thanks for your video.

[@johnmartinezm]

Thank you. I just looked this up , picked your video and it worked I was oh no. I have no money to fix this right now Thank you so much 🙏

[@theresapalmer1595]

Thank you!!! It didn’t work at 7 clicks so I continue all the way around to the start and that did it! You are wonderful!!!

[@flots4570]

Lol your welcome.

[@flots4570]

I unplug mine when I am not using it. I worry it will do this and set my house on fire if I am away for a few days

[@flots4570]

I came home one day from work ,I think is was doing this all day and it was warm when I touched it. Be careful okay. Maybe unplug it too

[@richardkepley2301]

Awsome, I work maintenance at apartments an your video just saved me a ton of time and headaches thank you so much for posting this

[@suziefischer5304]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I just experienced this issue and this fixed it right away! No service call for me!!!!! Yeah!

[@flots4570]

Welcome 🙏

[@Nanoo777]

Thanks so much for that. I have a digital display model. Tried the unplugging, 45 degree tilt forward, 45 degree tilt back, plugging back in to no avail. My display would flash quickly and the buttons did nothing. Tried spinning the dial previously with no luck. Ended up unplugging, and trying this again. Mine was 7 clicks as well but didn't need to hit the pause/start button. I simply did seven gentle clicks and it made it stop sound and everything was good. Thought I'd share my finding in the event it helps someone else.

[@kooleighkidz7193]

It worked for my whirlpool. Thank you so much for this video!

[@carolnelson2107]

Dear Sir! Thank you very much. I think your suggestion worked. Right now my washer is starting a wash cycle and filling up. Appreciate your advice.

[@nicolaslmorgan566]

thank you very much for posting this. The procedure did the trick!!

[@rhyanna5454]

I appreciate the article too I read through that and it helped my washer work normally. I was able to wash my bed linens,thank you so much I thought it was junk,lol

[@dyankaufman7915]

Amazing. Thank you so much. Between the knob turning and opening and closing the lid 6 times in 30 seconds the washer is working!

[@joannmiller5395]

This absolutely is the best fix. My husband had to do it over a few time actually more than a few times, but he’s impatient. Saved us the cost of a new washer. We bought our washer in 2016. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@littlekentucky2294]

THANK YOU 🙏 😊❤You just saved me time & money 💵, mine is Only 1 year old and I did what you said and she’s fired back up! I just subscribed to your channel.

[@monicamoore3003]

Thank you! I searched "washer machine turning on by itself" and here's your video with our exact washer. This worked like a charm. You've helped so many of us, thank you.

[@flots4570]

I am glad it worked. Just to let you know it has happened to mine 3 times. So I keep mine unplugged if I am not using it . We left for 2 days came home and it was happing again and washer was very hot.

[@08panchorelli]

Hot Damn. It worked!!! I have the next up model GE GTW465ASN1WW (it has 2 more dials). I tried your solution and it didn't work but I kept trying and finally got it to shut off. To be clear, My drain pump was running all by itself. I fixed it by starting at the 12oclock position, TURNING ALL THE OTHER DIALS TO THE LEFT, and slow turning the big dial as you suggested till all the lights, pump and noises shut off. FIXED. Thanks

[@flots4570]

Unplug it when your not using it. I was gone a few days and came home to that shit .scary . It was so hot 🔥.

[@blujimm]

First video and it wasn't a waist of time. Thank you!!!

[@Always_sojourning]

Works!! I had to do it twice👍👍

[@whachoon]

Thanks for the video. It works for my GE washer (model GTW485ASJ0WS).

[@ravynmurden9218]

Thank you so much!!! I came home and my machine started to make the weird noises on it's own. This was the most helpful information I could find out there for this problem. It worked like a charm!!! Thank you again for posting. You helped me out a lot there :)

[@demandathebarber]

Super helpful! Our washer at our rental is doing this very thing. Going to try this tomorrow! Thanks!

[@vickienollman2296]

Thank you for the information. ,I have the same washer and I did what you said. It did exactly what you said.😊 my washer is less than 2 years.

[@JuanHernandez-cw1sm]

Thanks for the video. I did the same to my washer except I had to go counterclockwise for my washer to reset. GTW485ASJ4WS.

[@daver5261]

Worked like a champ! Thank you.

[@flots4570]

[@josephalexander681]

Thank you for your video! I tried everything you suggested and my washer is working again!!

[@flots4570]

Your welcome, I now that feeling. Happy it worked for you

[@RS-lt2ue]

Thank you, Sir! I just did it on my washer, and it is good to go.

[@takaramitsumi7070]

Thank you!!! You are a genius! This worked for me!!

[@meredithcatchings2424]

Thank you soooo much for posting this! You saved us! What a safety hazard this seems to be...

[@ccsmix1925]

Thank you so much for this video! My hotpoint washer was doing the same thing and this fixed it!

[@pamelamartone6713]

Thank you sooooo much. !!!!! Followed your advice and fixed in 2 minutes!!!!

[@s.l.830]

Thanks for your help. I have a different model but your repair suggestions appear to have worked.

[@edvatcher3025]

Thank you very much for your great article. It saved me a quite a bit of time once again thank you and all the best. Hope I could help you sometime. 5:13

[@ron2134]

Try this….I unplugged the washer and grounded the cord with alligator clip jumper cable. Simple but it worked for me. Take one end and put on round ground part of plug, then put the other end on positive end. If you don’t know which one is which, touch both! I plugged it back in the wall, hit the reset button and it now works. I assume that this resets the electronics. Similar to letting it sit for three days…thanks ron

[@TheAlmightyLizard]

Thanks a bunch! This seemed to be a good fix even for a newer model. Amazing help.

[@kimtollett9197]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU SAVED THE DAY!!!!!!!

[@jimandsuzy]

Just happened to my machine last night. Just come as video to try and is soon as I get home. Thank you

[@Unsocial01]

The noise you’re hearing is the drain pump kicking on most times one of the inlet valve is leaking into the basket causing an automatic drain which it supposed to do very common on this model .

[@rougebaba3887]

Same washer I have and same issue.... What I discovered is that water is getting into some Chambers where it's not supposed to go, probably because I've been using the extra fill button, and somehow the washer detects this and is trying to drain it. What I did to fix it was unplug it, tilted to 45 degrees forward resting it on something, it may not need to be a full 45°, leaving it like that for about 30 minutes. Then I tilted it backwards 45° or so, then set it up right and plug it back in. This causes the water in those chambers to run back into the main tank and will drain out on its own then. It may cycle up and drain or it may just sit in there and wait till you do another load.

[@NadiaRamirez888]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you!!!!! GE series GTW485A

[@007modmom]

Thank you for the explanation! My model is a 2020 model. I am a senior lady alone. Mine just now started that crazy stuff and it would NOT turn off. I cannot reach the outlet so I found the fuse box and turned off the breaker to it. I have hated this dang machine since I bought it because it is freaking haunted. Mine is model GTW465ASN1WW.

[@israelcorredera1645]

you sir, are a genius. It worked. Thank You very much!

[@flots4570]

Your welcome. Lot of people have had to do it too. I have many comments. Glad it help you.

[@shirleyluna1987]

Mine just now turned on by itself, like it was in the drain and spin mode. I haven’t used it in like four months because of a drain pipe issue that I haven’t gotten the money to fix yet. No lights, no water in the tub, turning the knobs and pushing the pause button and nothing. Gonna try this and see what happens. Thank you for this video cuz I can’t find any info close to yours! I have the exact same washer

[@lilyhumphrey805]

Thank you, thank you so much for making and posting this video!

[@janetgallitelli6439]

Thank you!! I admit I was skeptical, but I tried it as a last resort before calling a repairman and it worked. GE Model GUD24.

[@codycaines7975]

This was a very helpful video worked like a charm so far so good

[@94Cavscout]

I am a maintenance guy and I have stacked washer and dryer issues. Just was working on one that was having a similar issue but what I did was flipped the breaker and opened the control panel where the main boards are for washer and dryer. There was a ton of lint and dust all over the main boards. I blew all the dust out of it and cleaned it up and put it back and reset the breaker switch and I couldn’t get it to malfunction anymore… not sure if the dust on control board was the fix or not hoping that was the issue. Issue Was that washer was locking and unlocking over and over and was agitating with no water and with door open as if possessed… after I blew out the dust from main board panel it is now seeming to operate just fine… but TBD.

[@alteechabrock9176]

You rock!! Thank you so much!! I had to do this 3 times and it worked!!

[@flots4570]

Cool. But if you leave for days unplug it. I learned the hard way

[@knvprasad]

worked like a charm!

[@nellycyrhunt]

Thank you so much Sir !

[@BetterThanLasers]

Wow. This actually worked. I have an almost new GE washer, GTW335ASN2WW. It took a couple of tries to reset the machine, but I just ran a load and it's fine.

[@flots4570]

Great

[@barbcarroll5265]

thanks....i just had this happen and semed to have corrected before finding this video i unplugged and did multiple things involving such, i seem to have accidentally stumbled upon this. will try this next time if it happens. this washer is pretty horrible in my opinion. thanks for your time making this video. it's pretty scary to be sitting in the kitchen and the washer just starts this for no reason.

[@flots4570]

I understand plug mine now when I am not using it. It could happen when I am at work. So I keep it unplugged

[@karenwright4426]

Thank you so much!! You just saved me so much money!!

[@jazzyreena]

Thank God for this video we have the same machine and this just happen to me this am. Thought my hubby was washing clothes but he was gne to work. Let’s see if this work for me.

[@trudygodde696]

I did this and all of my lights are flashing. Do I unplug it? It has stopped but like I said all of the green lights are flashing.

[@flots4570]

Try unplugging it yes. Sorry I am at work I didn't see your comment until now

[@brockla9]

I had to turn it 6 clicks but I had to do it 3 times. Thanks for the advice.

[@marilyndaigle4012]

Thank you!!!

[@debraschaal6663]

These GE sucks, I read unplug it plug back in and open & close lid 6 times before 12 seconds . This supposedly resets it. I say these should be recalled!,,

[@oscarb9139]

Wife just called me into the house. Washing machine started itself. No water (a small amount in the bottom can be heard sloshing). The basket isn't moving, but it sounds like the agitator motor is running. Unplugged, but does it again after plugging it back in. Tried your method, and it stopped. Currently doing a small load to see if it functions correctly. How did you come up with the process in this video?

[@BawwsMan10]

Awesome!! had to do it three times before it worked 🎉

[@julietbravo3990]

Thank you! Seems to have worked.
