Fixing A GE Washer That Is Not Filling With Water!

Video covers how to fix a newer style GE washer that is not filling with water and not starting. The washer covered in the video is GTW845CSN0WS however, this video applies to a wide range of top load GE washers manufactured in the last 10 years or so. This video is part of my series "Free On Facebook" in which I show how to repair, recycle, and repurpose things I find for free.
Link to the alternate was to replace lid lock mechanism on GE washers is below:

My washer isn't doing this exactly but it's letting me select what kind of wash I want, I can hear it start but then it beeps and stops. And will continue to blink 52 in estimated time remaining.

Hi! What is the correct name for washing machines of this type? Is it a top-loading automatic washing machine or an activator-type washing machine? There are no such machines in the Russian Federation, so I cannot understand how to classify them correctly. We only sell European-type washing machines with front or top loading, but they all have a horizontal drum axis. In the washing machine that appears in your video, the drum axis is located vertically. What is the correct name for the class of such machines and how much better or worse are they than European-type washing machines in terms of washing quality, build quality, and repairability? Thank you in advance.

I think this is my problem as my washer is intermittent. It works sometimes and sometimes does not. My wife is pissed! LOL Great Video!

[@EveFrag]

Wait witch one is ur problem the first w lid lock switch or the water values

[@waynealleyne131]

My is washing sometimes and the sometimes not at all just click click and no water

[@joekohl2247]

@@waynealleyne131, Thanks. I got my problem solved. I got a new washer. No more GE appliances for me. I've been told by every repair person that GE washers suck! Lesson Learned! Thanks!

I have the one with the LO-WATERWASH PRECISE WATER FILL ALWAYS SEEMS LOW. Large loads water is still low. I did install a new pressure sensor . What else can it be ????

[@stephenwinter5920]

Replaced the lid switch and tested the resistance on the water valves. All the valves are between 1.3 and 1.8. One valve is at 1.29. Close enough? Also checked for any possible mechanical failure and the screens were clean and no other deposits found. If those 2 parts are working, what's the next possible problem? Thx

[@tamikeaton7465]

Mine is brand new and not filling smh

[@shirleylarue1518]

Had two brand new ones with this 3 repair guys couldn't fix despite several parts one in my basement not a year old! Bought whirlpool never another GE

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

They sure do have a lot of issues!

[@MarshaNava]

But none of the newer energy efficient washer full with water anymore. So are your referring to the machine not filling at all with water or the issue with them not fully filling due ot ths new machines? I need a trick to fix mine it's new but obviously has the same problem as all new ones where they dotn fill all the way over clothes with water.

[@qwaneasia]

my ge washer wont fill, just pouring in and not staying, its like filling up a tub without a stopper and expecting it to fill

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Most likely it's stuck in flood mode. This happens when the pressure hose port gets clogged

[@tacobassmike9757]

I changed the same parts but still will shoot 2 shots of water then lock and then nothing. That's what my was doing before

[@joevans8636]

Dang mine as well

[@tacobassmike9757]

@@joevans8636 What was your fix to it? And my washer is not even 5 yrs old. Everything is shit these days

[@tacobassmike9757]

Mine is working now Had to go through a diagnostic on it. Somehow it must have reset it and everything is working now

[@seanw2216]

My washer is doing the same 2 shots of water then lid locks and then nothing does anyone have an answer for this or what to check

[@tacobassmike9757]

@@seanw2216 Got my fix I'll send you a lady's information who ordered the parts and walk me through it

[@antoniaramirez6349]

My washer is the same you are working on mine fills up but that’s all it does

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Sounds like it could be a bad lid switch

[@luisjimenez5898]

I'm about to do my 2nd Lid Switch replacement. It kind of takes one spray of water and stop. 2nd spay and stop. When it does the 3rd time, the sensing lights illumitanes but the spraying is about 3 seconds before stopping. If its bad, it happened within a month after I replaced it for the first time

[@MarcosSilva-m4s]

I get a H20 supply message, this ever happened with you ?

[@RT-bt5ql]

Old washers are better, these new ones all suck

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Agreed!

[@lubnamirza1622]

aoa please start selling you own line of washers and let me know when i can purchase. jzk

[@jahbariburton1264]

I have lost the paper with all the fault codes is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to find it

[@WyzrdCat]

Thank you. Was able to replace my lid closed detector without taking everything apart

[@jfoley1968jf]

Does the top lift for better access to the switch?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

The alternative way to replace the lid lock by lifting the top is shown in this video of mine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4imomqHfMdkb8U

[@winters1176]

So i replaced the water intake part, but it won't run cold water. Any suggestions? I've done the diagnostic, and it works, but for any cycle, it won't run cold water only hot.
