Truly appreciate this information my man. OMG, you saved me not just money I didn't have ,but my relationship. I was no longer a hero in my wife's eyes, making me feel absolutely useless. As I looked up the model number and found your video this has truly helped me. Gratitude pray you are truly blessed. checked another video to find out how to get the front plate off.

[@ericjauregui3089]

Thank you my good man! My GE washer was overflowing and couldn't figure out why. I'll give this a shot tomorrow. Seems straight forward enough.

[@mkyle82]

I hope this helped, mine overflowed and spilled into 130 sq. foot area and into the basement, engineering firm tested and found nothing wrong with the machine ( this swith was tested as well as the water inlet valve ) that i must have had the drain hose laying on the floor and not in the drain/waste pipe in the wall...

[@john-cx7nt]

You saved me a lot of money I cannot afford to spend right now. A thousand Thanks.

[@Personlpp]

I think you just saved me $500 :) I'll work on it tomorrow I have too many beers in me. Thank you!

[@aanonymous7286]

My current situation.. did you fix it?

[@Personlpp]

@@aanonymous7286 Yup. There was a little dust ball in the air tube thingy. Been perfect ever since.

[@jcsart2]

Thanks for saving me a lot of money. I cut off about 2 inches of the clogged hose and it worked perfectly. I do however recommend replacing the hose to its original length if you cut too much off to avoid it slipping off during the spin cycles.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

That is correct I think I did mention in a video. Also, zip tie the hoes will also give it a bit more security

[@anthonylusano6906]

Thumbs up for you! This happened to my GE gtwn3000m0ws. Simple fix!

[@stsid1]

Thanks for the tip. That fixed my over filling issue.

[@bigdaddybunz]

Dude this saves the day! You the man.

[@garyrh3735]

To be more thorough you need to check the entire hose. My washer was overflowing because the other end of the pressure hose that is attached to the switch inside the control panel had came off. Another reason for an overflow might be that the switch itself is bad.

[@leeg672]

You are so right!! Rarely is anything quite this simple. Not to mention, even if it seems to be, while you are RIGHT THERE! check for other possibilities or contributing factors... Even a "floating obstruction" can cause random overfilling! Anything in the Switch or the inlet port of the switch. Cleaning the entire tube may resolve a small floating obstruction. A kinked or smashed line, detached line, failing sensor. (pressure switch)

[@tscoby20]

Thank you so much! I was ready to throw my washer into a river!

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Good to hear. glad you didn't punt!

[@briangammon9897]

How can I replace the tube mine ripped

[@masaloi7631]

First thankyou sooo much for the assistance you make available. 1. I detached the tube from the tub to the fill size switch, covered one end of the tube and blew through the other end to test for leaks - OK. 2. Then with power on blew through the switch and the cycle commenced but only as I kept blowing >??? 3. I re attached the tube to the bowl and blew through and could hear water bubbling as I blew through. 4. HOWEVER - when I reconnected the tube [after these tests] the water would still NOT stop flowing. 5. By the way [a] water does come from the tub and flows out of the tube connect site so my question remains as to what creates the pressure in the tube to the pressure switch as I cannot imagine water would flow through the tube to the cutout switch ??? Thanks very much for any positive assistance received.

[@masaloi7631]

After doing all of the above the final thing I did [which appeared to finally fix the problem] was to trim just a little from both ends of the pressure hose - AND YIPPEEE it got the machine cycling again - HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD Thanks Everybody

[@garyfruland]

Worked for me! Thank you so much!

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Good to hear. Glad i could help

[@kayjay662]

Hi, i clean the hose change the pressure switch and it's still not cutting off after filling for wash/ rinse cycle

[@troyyoung2661]

looks like i have that same ge washer. the problem im having is...the washer wont go into agitation mode....when i start the washer..it fills up. then tries to start the agitation mode but doesnt agitate...it drains and spins though...my agitator isnt broken, Ive checked it as well. The belt isnt broken on the motor, lid switch works, just not the agitation.

[@ladyjjsselfcareandmore2725]

How do I get my sheet untangled from my washer?

[@annajohnson7532]

Thank you!! Great, easy fix that saved lots of money. 😊👍🏼

[@itr0863]

would this be a reason why my ge hose flood fills with water and leaks during agitation? i dont mind replacing parts as long as i know if my washer will be fixed. thank u

[@aaronreid1183atyahoocom]

Reggie i have the same ge washer it clicks when i blow into it theres mo clog but ireplaced hose anyway...still not activating agitatemode the water pressure inside the tube isn't going high enough to trigger the sensor.why isn't it? Can you please help me?

[@dalilachapman705]

can the box attached to the tub and hose be clogged and cause problems we cut hose alread

[@weekendwarrior3941]

Thanx Reggie!

[@fredsmith901]

Merci beaucoup Monsieur!

[@mashroothobe4385]

The machine has overflowed as we filled water manually, is there any danger the overflow water drain outside from top of the tub, damages wiring, motor, or water get stuck up any where, any problem? Can i start the machine, no electricity problem if started, please advise.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

No you should be fine most of the electronics have some sort of splash guard to protect them when things like that happens.

[@mashroothobe4385]

@@LeanOnYourRep Thanks, brother, GOD bless you and your family and friends.

[@justinberrett7479]

Thank you fixed my problem

[@mikekelley8216]

My washer is spilling out the back at the bottom...also it's now making a loud sweaking noise when it goes into the wash cycle...any clues?

[@seapeddler]

What if a washer overflows at the beginning the first rinse/spin cycle ? My thoughts were that the timer isn't activating the drain pump at the right moment. Machine is a Kenmore stacked unit.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Washer only overflows during rinse cycle, that's a rare issue but if it's consistently only doing it on the rinse cycle then that should be a timer issue

[@mikestrick30]

What size is the line? I need to replace mine.

[@greensmash]

Thank You Very Much.

[@mitchellbrown9256]

Hi.. My problem is the piece the pressure tube connects to broke. Is there another fix for this instead of having to buy another outer tub??

[@unchainedmelody7639]

Byw. What is your site to purchase a tubing hose? T.y.

[@leihsimkulit3970]

Hi mine is pressure switch is working but still wrong stop filling with water but the hot water is stop only the cold water what do you think is the problem

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Washer Water valve might be bad

[@Pfinn582]

Thanks for the video. It's super helpful. I have a question. Is the pressure box supposed to have water in it? Mine does. The tube was clean and working when I blow in it but the washer was overfilling and not going over the top but coming out the overflow tube. I changed the water height and it didn't overflow today but I noticed the box has about 1/2" of nasty water in it.

[@joemoh16]

Also curious if the pressure box is suppose to have water in it

[@jeanne6885]

Thank you!

[@fchang2517]

Hi Reggie and all experts I’ve a GE coin operated washer. Model #:WCCD2050JWC. Problem: During rinse cycle it would barely fill with water, to about 1/8 of the tub. Once water reaches that water level, it goes into drain and spin mode immediately without agitating at all. It does this twice in the rinse cycle. Water would fill to about 1/8 of the tub and goes into drain and spin cycle. The clothing is not clean as it comes out a bit soapy. I read on the GE site, someone saying it’s a water saving feature. Is their a way to adjust the water level during rinse cycle? Also in the wash cycle, water fills all the way to the top and agitates as its suppose to for about 10-15 minutes. It drains and spins then goes into the rinse cycle. I have tested the pressure switch and hose. Didn’t find any issues. I’ve also replaced the water inlet valve. The same problem persists. Please help if anyone of the experts know how to fix this issue or make adjustment to the water level in the rinse cycle. Thank you. Much appreciated it.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Have you checked the water valves on the wall? Cold water could be off or not all the way on. Washer could fill with warm water during wash but trickle in during rinse, and if not fill within a certain time could trigger Long Fill code.

[@fchang2517]

@@LeanOnYourRep thanks for the reply Reggie.. The valves on the wall are working properly. I tried switching from cold to hot and hot to warm during wash fill cycle. The water flows pretty fast. During rinse cycle it fills quickly but stops about 1/8 tub full and immediately starts to drain and spins after. It does not agitate during rinse at all. This would happen 2 times during rinse cycle. Thanks for the help Reggie.

[@HumbleHall.]

Thanks man

[@LacyAdrienne]

Mine overflows just in the initial fill. Should I still try this fix?

[@LeanOnYourRep]

Yes you should, an over flowing GE washer is almost always a clogged up pressure tube

[@unchainedmelody7639]

Aloha, im having this problem also..we took the tubing out, checked for debri. We blew into the tubing and heard the clicking from the pressure switch...can we still hear the clicking if the diaphragm is not good?

[@aaronreid1183atyahoocom]

No if it works it'll click

[@sykottic6siccnss]

Wheres your website i can buy these tubes at?

[@LeanOnYourRep]

I discontinued selling parts for now. But thank you

[@lisapollitt295]

My GE washer won’t fill up with water it just runs out on the floor can someone please help me I don’t have money to get a new one or get this one fixed

[@ddb5569]

I have this same exact washer. What if its draining as it suppose to be filling?

[@aaronreid1183atyahoocom]

Keep the drain hose as high as possible or it will drain

[@thinredlinerails8240]

What is ur website to buy the tube at

[@LeanOnYourRep]

www.ebay.com/str/yousaveexpress

[@dianeatpeace337]

Quick suggestion -- Pin your website address as the first comment on any short you post. That way, people don't have to go looking for it. 😊 Thanks for your videos. You are very good at explaining things to non-experts.

[@benopie7772]

Be careful with this I did this and it worked for a while but then the hose came loose and disconnected and my washer flooded again. When you cut it it takes out the slack so that when the washer is agitating and spinning it creates enough movement that over time the hose will come dosconnected.

[@LeanOnYourRep]

You are correct, you cannot overcut and you can actually get more Slack by releasing the hose from the top rail. Definitely want to be sure there's enough room for it to move around while the tub is spinning
