How To Repair - GE Stackable Washer Dryer Combo not Spinning or Draining

[@binkipinki3]

My 19yr son literally just looked this up and found so much underwear and socks and is currently trying to put our belt back on. He’s taken initiative to fix it himself and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Thank you for offering this information. It’s truly awesome of you

[@how2togo]

That is fantastic. You have a good kid on your hands.

[@mlazavic]

Just found six socks behind my front panel (all mine 😅). Belt didn’t even fall off, just jammed. Worked immediately after. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@BPDNJ]

He must be a snowflake.

[@RonnieSmith-wf1ux]

Sounds like you're raising a good young man. Congratulations!

[@joshuamurdock3197]

I can’t get the front panel to pop the hooks are pushed in

[@AnitaColtrane]

Two years and your video is still helping people. That's what's up.. appreciate you man

[@lchavez01]

Two years later and your video is still relatable. I do have the older model, but it was very similar and I did not have to call a technician.

[@valerie.kelley]

I just found a misplaced belt AND an embarrassing amount of long lost socks PLUS socks from the previous owners! Thank you for helping this first time home owner save some money!

[@Astralpains]

Man you just saved my poor mother alot of money. Fixed her washer in five minutes. God bless

[@how2togo]

You made my day.

[@digitl_ghost]

A year later and still helping people. Thank you.

[@gkapoor]

This video is incredible and super useful. You have saved me $200-300. I just followed simple steps and put the belt back on and it worked. I spent 3 hours calling different people to come and fix, and took me 30 min to resolve this one my own following this video. Amazing 🙏

[@DeniseAcosta166st]

Thank you soooo much. My son has the same stackable and the same issue. A plumber quoted him $800 over the phone and told him to just buy a new one. I'm his mother a 60 year old woman and when he went to work today I went on you tube and found your video and fixed it. You're video was great you're a good man thank you so much.

[@how2togo]

Thank you for the.comment. that is fantastic.

[@thomaswilliams507]

One putty knife and five minutes saved both the washer and about 5 socks! Thanks for addressing the actual issue instead of the usual lid-lock solution.

[@SabrinaHancockBroker]

Found your video right away. It was exactly what I needed. Fix the washing machine all by myself without having to call someone for the first time! Thank you so much!

[@yellowbunnie1]

THANKKKKK YOUUUUU! I have the same unit and the same issue was happening. Watched your video and fixed my machine in 10 mins! May God bless you ❤️

[@speedoguy]

Just watched your video and fixed my washer within 10 minutes, I was about to buy a new setup from costco, you saved me $1800. Thank you

[@chowbeydeepak]

Ohh Brother, Thank you so much for sharing this video. I searched so many video to diagnose the problem but this video has saved the repair cost or probably new washer dryer cost. Found all of my toddlers missing socks and put the belt back on the motor. God bless you!

[@LNDF_Shiv]

hey bud, watched your video half an hour ago, and yeah, my washer wasn't spinning 'cause the belt fell off. took me five minutes to fix. thanks man, I know this video's a year old, but it's plenty useful. glad you made it.

[@CarnivoreChristina]

This was so helpful! Thank you!!! We fixed our washer without calling a repair man! You saved us so much $$!

[@mawfranks]

So thankful! ❤ We had this unit we moved to storage when it worked fine, then moved it back in and it didn't work! Found this video for my husband and it to watch, and sure enough, the belt was laying in the ground just like you showed!🎉 Thanks for taking the time to share your tips, it saved us for sure!!!

[@new2newyork403]

Thank you so much. It helped us a lot. We struggled with the issue for the past 2 days. Finally, I found your video. We got it fixed in less than 5 minutes. Thanks a lot once again. Saved much dollars without calling repair person.

[@paulbrown2687]

Thanks!. Your steps fixed my machine. Recently retired and was thrill that I did not have to call a service repair person.

[@elainey713]

Adding to the chorus of thanks: it was such an easy fix, and we excavated 10 socks that we thought were lost to time! Such a great video that is to the point and clear. Thank you again.

[@roberthassall6591]

Thank you SO much for this video! We found NOT one, but about TEN socks down there!!! For sure that had to be why our belt fell off. Thank you again so much!

[@tonytitone5258]

Fantastic video - 17 socks, 3 face towels, 1 tighty white removed! belt put back on, problem solved. Much appreciated.

[@AJ-ne8yw]

Thank you! 🙏 from a fellow Canadian victim of a sick washer and dryer 😊

[@JamesRimes]

This video keeps on giving. Thank you! Seven socks and a few pairs of underwear smh, I was able to easily put on the belt. I'm sure this will continue to help people for years to come.

[@ppgwhereeverett4412]

THIS is my 'Go To' video to open the front which I Always forget how to do !! Thank You !!

[@grendelartemis5667]

Thanks for your video! This got me started with my fix, unfortunately mine wasn't the belt or Thermo actuator, it was a sock that got into the drain pump, but your video definitely got me to the right area. Mine was making the similar noises to yours, when i had the front panel off and did some investigating, there were a ton of clothes in there, but the belt was still in tact and spun manually. I turned it on again, and found the noise was coming from the drain pump. I was able to use a wet-vac to get as much water from the tub as possible, disconnected the hose from the pump and pulled out the sock. its up and running again! saved me $$ from having to call in a repair person. :)

[@CMarsh-mg7nz]

Thank you sssssoooo much! You're video was SO helpful, easy to follow and saved me lots of money. Old belt was frayed had to order new one - installed in under 5 minutes.

[@joelzapata4705]

Thank you! This was exactly what my problem was. I wish all instructional videos were made this way!😁

[@how2togo]

So good to hear. Thank you for the comment

[@shadiggtm5340]

❤😢😂

[@adamdelgado4727]

SAME! legit just fixed it

[@kevinbailey3786]

Spot on! Opened up the front panel, Fond a few socks and a dropped belt. Back to working in less than 10 minutes! Thanks.

[@dereksurette1693]

Thanks bud. This helped. In our case it was just the drive belt. More than just one sock inside the machine though. couple socks, pair of underwear, work glove... lol. Saved us having to get a repair guy here. Thanks again! :D

[@danherrmann8755]

Thanks. The instructions was good and clear. Straight to the point. Just remember. If it is made out of plastic. The item is made to break. Plastic is not a good material for long term quality. 20 years. The life of a washer.

[@laurierhodes5240]

Thank you! My husband works offshore and something always seems to break while he's gone. I was able to watch your video and fix my washer by myself!! 😅

[@cboy8133]

You saved my socks stuck down here from a terrible future. Thank you. You are doing gods work

[@AdamMainse]

Thank you thank you thank you! Saved me a hefty repair fee! I opened up the front of the machine and was greeted with a year's worth of socks burying the belt. Once I cleaned it out and reattached the belt it ran like new again!!

[@therealD.B.cooper308]

Thank you so much, we bought this house a little over a year ago and the washer and dryer came with it. We started having this issue with the washer a couple days ago so I find this video, follow the steps and sure enough someone’s whole sock drawer and a couple skivvies were down there with a belt off the track, cleaned it out and got the belt back, works just like it used to now. Thanks again!

[@Smartizify]

Thank you so much, Helped me open up a dryer since a sock fell in and we found tons of other old socks.

[@k9mcgurn1]

Fixed my washer today thanks to this. Perfect explanation, although you made the belt install look a lot easier!

[@beautiree]

Thank you!!! My daughter and I just fixed her washer! But the belt was NOT that easy to put back in place…. But after about 30 minutes - we did it!!

[@legendab7436]

Thank you so much for your video! We had a professional look at our washer and couldn’t fix it. But when we tried ourselves one more time using your video, it worked!

[@how2togo]

Now your the professional. Lol

[@MrWaynoo8]

This is the Most USEFUL appliance video I've seen so far. Thank You

[@kathyhilley4071]

Thank you so much!!!! Embarrassed we found like thirty socks and our belt was popped off too lol thank u so much u saved us a lot of money and headaches!!!!

[@amandaoleary6035]

Thanks for teaching me how to remove the front panel! Now I can see what might be the problem! Thanks for starting with the basics “how do i get to the good bits to see what’s wrong?”

[@iwillis5381]

Thank you, women really need this kind of information, can’t always afford a repair guy.

[@muahangtumy]

Thank you so much ! I’m no man but was able to fix it following your instructions. I just had guests over for Thanksgiving and have tons of laundry to do so was panicking that it didn’t spin as it was my first load after they left. I don’t have the type of knife you used in the video so I used the dinner strong knife and was able to open the front cover. And Yes! Found tons of socks and underwear. My 10’year son pointed out that they were from the previous owner lol Very helpful clip! Thanks again!

[@how2togo]

Great tip hear.

[@WildeVid]

My local appliance guy wanted over six hundred dollars to fix this for me, and to transport it to his shop. It was just a belt! Damn, thank you for saving me so much money which I don't have. I also feel so good for having fixed it myself :D

[@how2togo]

Oh man! Great to hear.

[@fashionettestephens8894]

Thank you 💖 15 minutes to fix, 10 socks, 1 pair of underwear, and a scratch lol but I didn't get ripped off 💪🏾 continue to bless to be blessed 🙌🏾

[@theresawerewolfoutsi]

Thank you! I opened this up per your instructions and saw exactly the same as you did- a rogue sock and a disconnected belt.

[@mikeclarke952]

It's called a Termoactuator, I looked it up for my daughter's GE stacked model(not sure if you said Thermo or Termo). I just sent her this link so she can get the front panel off to tell me the belt is in what state and we'll go from there. Great video thanks for this. Cheers

[@stephg3594]

Thanks a lot!! I was unable to fix my dryer without waiting for someone to come check it out!

[@maritzacordova4385]

Im having this same issue after i washed some covers a lil heavy i will definetly use ur video to hopefully be as easy . Thank u

[@GirlBeDreamin]

Omgggg the satisfaction I feel right now bc like you, I’ve watched a couple videos and they weren’t helping. I tried the motor reset (unplug one for one minute, within 30 seconds- open and fully close lid 6 times) Anyways.. it took some time for me to get the cover off. I used my putty tool, but one corner was being stubborn. Finally, with some leverage, I got the left corner to pop out. My 7 year old was a big helper! He was all for encouragement! 🥰 We laughed at the amount of socks (& an even a couple Covid masks 😷) that we found! And I couldn’t believe how spot on you were! Sure enough, exactly as this video - there was the belt! And this time it was me being stubborn bc getting the belt back on took some time - my model is slightly different, but still, your instructions to loop the back end and then get one front side on and turn the gear until the belt fits in place was again spot on! I had my unit unplugged bc at the start when I was taking the front off, I did something and the washer started making sounds like it was trying to work/run a cycle, but no water filled. I unplugged it and continued to work at removing the front cover. Got the socks cleared out && reattached the belt. Attempted a cycle run, but it just made that same sound, again with no movement or water. I noticed in the bottom left corner there was a wired mechanism. I pushed the connector pieces and realized one was loose - and voilà! Tightening that loose connection was the last piece to fixing it! Long-winded comment, I know! But I’m literally so excited!! 😁 Thank you!!! 🙏 🙌 Now … off to find a video on how to clean that fabric softener dispenser 😅

[@TheBigJew]

Your video was extremely helpful. Although I didn't have the same issue I was able to troubleshoot the serious issues and confirm what I thought was happening was a much simpler solution. Plus now I know all this cool stuff !

[@teekay8134]

??? What was happening with your machine...

[@edwardhernandez4267]

Thank you boss, made all my stress go away and fixed in 10 mins. Thanks for the video

[@juanandnic]

I went through soooooo many videos, this is the one that saved me. thanks so much

[@how2togo]

Great to hear

[@AngelBoo1001]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!! This worked so perfect and now my washer is back to normal! Found so many socks 🤦🏾‍♀️ You are Awesome and I'm sharing this on ALL my social media 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@davefrost1990]

Man thank you so much. You saved me a ton of money on a service call and *gasps* a trip to local laundromat. 😊

[@Beardsly_28]

Thank you so much 😊 this helped me fix my sister’s washing machine I definitely thought she would have to buy a brand new machine.

[@WhenYaSmilin]

Thank you sir! This video just spared my family a major financial and time inconvenience.

[@jamesford6244]

Dude, amazing video and thanks for posting. I was freaking out about a new washer/dryer or repair person... found several socks and undies, and it was my daughter's swimsuit that was the culprit for the belt coming off!

[@ptsmserv]

Thank You SO MUCH for this video, you saved me $250.00 In technician repair fees. A baby sock got stuck in the drain pump which caused the thermal actuator to burn out. An easy repair and the part only cost me $25.

[@how2togo]

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@GCMB1995]

How did you find the sock? I have a feeling that’s what I have going on

[@anthonystephens3503]

Thank you for your post, it was extremely helpful! I removed all the socks and stuff under the tub and put the belt back on and it worked perfectly!

[@neilreuben18]

wow! you have saved me $500. I love your thoughtful video.

[@johangarciafelix2344]

Very helpful you save me a lot of trouble with this video. The belt was off on my washer and i found the missing pairs of all my socks. Thank you!!!!

[@derrickfinn7749]

Dude I can't thank you enough! We also found literally about 20 missing socks and underwear 😂

[@how2togo]

Lol

[@MrBadboytroy]

Dude ! I found my 10 mm socket ! 😂

[@richardfinnegan8482]

🎉

[@InstrumentalKINGblog]

hahaha that's probably where my socks are too lmao.

[@anthonykontos7931]

Dude thanks a bunch under a tight budget and it definitely has helped us in our small business

[@shanemadden6677]

Thank you so much! It was the exact same problem except we had 32 socks and two pairs of underwear around the bottom from overloading…. Let that sink in lol. You’re a beast man, my wife was about to send me to Lowe’s to get a new washer and dryer unit.

[@how2togo]

Lol

[@janiekoch3157]

This was SO helpful!! I was able to cancel my appt with my repair guy and I'm back to doing laundry!! THANK YOU

[@how2togo]

Fantastic!

[@fishyflemy]

Goated video, even the point where you explained how to easily get the loop on between the two gears. Very helpful, thank you.

[@doughboy6994]

Opened the face panel just how it shows on video found a ton of socks and belt laying on floor put belt back on and started washing again. Thanks for posting

[@wormoSTEEZE]

ok wow, my washer wasn't drying the clothes (turns out I now know it also wasn't really washing them haha) and I came to youtube after finding very little troubleshooting help online. I'm so glad I found your video - I had this exact issue!! I reattached the belt and it fell off again almost immediately. I can tell it's very worn out. I've ordered a replacement. thank you!!

[@robertodeoliveira4377]

Thank you. I had the same problem and I did save a lot of money calling someone to fix

[@alandove3734]

Great video, I had to replace my Thermo Actuator too. Totally easy fix…..until you find the drain pump was jammed with the tub cover o-ring that fell apart after replacement. All is well now, with somewhat minimal water mess! Thanks for the video!

[@jennajohns3943]

Just used this video to fix mine! Same problem. Belt fell off. Tons of socks and some washrags inside. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@jennajohns3943]

Side note: mine looked a bit different inside, but same concept. GE model #GUD27ESPM1DG

[@jennajohns3943]

There’s a gap between the drum and the top and small items fall into the gap when I’m loading/unloading the washer and/or dryer.

[@JBenAtwood]

Thank you!! Fixed the washer and solved the sock mystery!

[@howesp93]

OMG this was my problem exactly, socks had piled up and dislodged the belt maybe. Thank you so much great video

[@Pawg2875]

Excellent video man. My issue was a wash cloth lodged inside hose. Washer over filled extra large capacity setting and too many clothes. When in spin cycle started the wash cloth was thrown overboard behind inner drum and sucked into hose!!!! There is just enough of a gap at the top of inner drum for something to be slung overboard

[@darlingcastillo5959]

Thank you. Because of this, my washing machine was fixed.😊

[@teamworksmedialo.events5801]

Thanks …… you totally helped me fix my machine, it was exactly what you described. Much appreciated you saved me some money!

[@donwong5765]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, since i smelt the burning smell after running 3 loads back and forth after the trip, now i can open the front panel and check what happened !!

[@luv2savemoney849]

Thank you the easy explaination and more than 1 solution. I found a massive pile of socks, and I thought my kids where taking my socks! Belt was on but when it tried to engage to spin the gear dropped down but was in wrong position moved the teeth and it worked! But when spinning mine is still super loud. Like ball barrings are bad, did spray belt didnt help the noise.

[@johnquezada7812]

Thank you so much man!. You just save me a couple dollars in repairs. Thank you again!

[@snufflepao]

Thank you sincerely. You just saved me a few hundreds of dollars.

[@paulabase8004]

Followed your video and the washer is fixed!!! You are a great teacher! Pb and Cb.

[@ericrhino3659]

You did it! Most videos do seem to blame the lid lock. But that was not my problem either. The belt was fine. But there were tons of socks down there. I think they interfered with the thermo actuator thing and maybe knocked it out of wack. It was sitting kind of cock-eyed. Also, the upper white teeth were not aligned with the grooves of the lower black teeth. I was able to line everything up and it all worked fine. Hope it lasts. But thank you very much either way! You did a great job.

[@drewksidetour]

Thank you so much! You saved me an expensive service visit !

[@Dnice365]

Thank you. 🙏🏼 You literally saved me time and money. And also made me realize I need a new belt but at least I know how to replace now.

[@williammoore6361]

Awesome video and a huge help! Only thing is that to take the front piece off you have to Push the putty knife pretty hard into that crease/crack to loosen that front piece. Thanks!!!!

[@shandajoy2084]

Thank you, Thank you so much I fixed my washer last night took me all 10 minutes ❤😊🙏🏾

[@Savsg4711]

Thank you!! Putting the belt back on was not easy but I’m glad I was able to do this so maintenance wouldn’t have to see all those socks 😆

[@kennethtru5321]

Thank you so much for this video! My belt had fallen off from Sox being caught between the belt. EZ fix thanks to you!

[@DANIELDEITERS]

Thank you for making this video, today I fixed my washing machine thanks to you, God bless you and Merry Christmas

[@welcometochipotle5137]

I watched 100 videos with no avail and this was it

[@how2togo]

I got your back.

[@TheEcno1]

Thanks a lot lot man! Your video was super well explain and you saved me tons of time looking around about the procedure. It was exactly like you said. Everything’s working fine now.

[@how2togo]

Great, thank you for the positive comment.

[@marilynstubbs6650]

+😊😊

[@MrMadbrowncow]

Didn't fix my issue but seeing you the only one with the putty knife helped me not eff up the paint and damage clip with a fat screw driver like the tech videos

[@PatPat-ky8lp]

Big thanks my washer is just out of warranty....and you make me fiX it so quick with out have to paid thanks for the nice video

[@sgb7387]

Thank you so much. You saved me so much time and money in fixing this myself.

[@daniel255711]

Thank you so much for making this video. It helped me solve the problem easily without spending any money. You're awesome!

[@DoesItTho]

Not my favorite type of narration style but it’s as effective as they were in the early 2000s how its made series. Cheers

[@thelittyproductions]

Thank you so much!!! This video just saved me money and time!!! You deserve to be crowned

[@wook52374]

Thank you for this! Followed your video. lo and behold, the belt had fallen off. Easy fix!

[@andrewputnam3030]

great video! I had the exact problem (except it was about a dozen socks) and the same solution. saved me a bunch of time by watching this!

[@wormoSTEEZE]

lol I couldn't believe I had 6 socks in the bottom of mine
