Another Great Video... Thx... and that is a great machine and easy to use and repair... good job... that machine is about $700 at home depot...

I just fixed my washer and looked like a hero in front of my fiance. Thank you! 🙌🏽

TIP TO PUT NEW BELT ON. This video helped a lot. My belt was broken. The new belt was stiff and difficult to put on right out of the bag. So I took a hair dyer and warmed the belt up and it became more pliable and slipped right on.

Great video, luckily my belt slipped and I was able to put it back on. It's working like a dream again. This is the first video that broke everything down and helped me get straight to it.

Thank you so much for your videos !! My husband and I were able to fix our machine together He’s a paraplegic and so him trying to fit in our laundry room and do the things he would’ve been able to do before prove to be very challenging but I showed him this video and together we were able to dump the washer over and fix the belt. Thank you!!

Thanks my man! Saved me hundreds of dollars because my belt was broken. Shipping cost more than the part. So easy to install. Thank you!

Great video. Had the same problem. Saved me a lot of troubleshooting because getting to the belt is so easy and it is so likely to fail that it was the first thing I wanted to check!

You just saved me $400 on a new washer! Tipped it over and removed the cover and the belt was popped off. Popped it back on and tightened the loose pulley (probably the reason the belt came off in the first place)and good as new!! Thanks Man

My washer had a broken belt and your video helped me troubleshoot and fix the problem. Saved me a good sum of money! Thank you!

Best video ever. Just saved me $1000 from getting a new washer. The drive belt was chewed up. Thanks

Thanks man, I'd have never known to check the capacitor had I not seen your video. Fixed my problem and saved me a ton of time.

Thank you so much! you saved me from buying a new machine. My model is not this one. I called a repair guy, he came the first time and said it was a clogged hose, after two washes the problem started again. The second time he said the problem would be the switch and it would be better buy a new machine because that brand they weren't even repairing it anymore. Before buy a new one I saw your video. It was more expensive to pay his visit than to buy the part and fix it.

This video saved me hundreds of dollars. My issue was the $30 lid switch, which I was told by someone who has worked on these for years couldn’t be the problem, so thank you for this video!

Great upload thanks. Really useful tips and tricks that hopefully saves people a lot of time and headaches. Perhaps worth mentioning to those not that familiar with Capacitors is that a multimeter tests Farads and that the results can be misleading. A capacitor showing the correct Farad reading can still be non functioning if its ESR is out. To fully test a capacitor you need an ESR meter, but I understand that's not a normal piece of kit owned by most. If in doubt it's often worth just trying a new capacitor, and if its not needed, well then-you've got a spare. If you test capacitors or enjoy electronics repair, a decent ESR meter sets you back about 50 USD and also has some other useful functions and to a degree allows you to test components on a circuit board.

Hey man I just wanna say thank you! Your videos not only are easy to understand but are straight to the point. You’ve helped me fix both my washer and dryer. All love man thank you again!

I like the "test area" setup you've got. I've been repairing and selling "free" appliances and lawn equipment for years.

Good troubleshooting, I checked my belt, (actually could smell it) and that was the issue as well for mine, easy cheap fix! Thanks.

Awesome video. Was able to repair this myself, learned and saved money. In my case, the belt was mangled in the teeth of the pulley so I had to shake the pulley free after removing the nut to clear out the mangled belt.

I just did this and no it was not a sock..it was a shoe string! Easy fix! Thank you so much!

I have same washer. Been watching all videos. That was a simple fix. Probably elderly people, likely can’t do the fix themselves and you know repair men charge a lot to fix. I paid $600 three years ago for mine. I’m sure it’s more now. I subbed. Thanks!

The reset actually worked! Thank you.

Thank you for the help, absolutely was the belt, changed it myself which I never do untill I saw your video. Didn't know how easy it was till I saw you do it. Unbelievable I was gonna buy a new washer but thanks to you I saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you for making this video.

Great video. Have that "not spinning" problem right now. Will run through the tests and use your guidance to see if I can sort it out. On a previous repair effort of this same washer I found a part of a zip tie about 1.5 inches long that had slipped through the holes in the drum and lodged vertically in the motor volute. That stopped the impeller from turning and it would not drain. Took out the zip tie piece and it worked great until this latest challenge.

Great video!! That seemed too darn simple. Thanks for the heads up about the capacitor and the electical charge. I'm tired of spending money on these so called home appliance insurance companiea sending out techs who know nothing other than collect my deductible. Your video gives me confidence to check my own washer with hopes of fixing it myself. I look forward to checking out your other videos.

Thanks for the video! I just fixed a neighbors GE washer with the same problem, a shredded drive belt, though not nearly as bad as yours, but enough to get me to check it and sure enough, it was in 2 pieces!! Thanks for the tip!!

My GE washer was not spinning to full speed - only half speed. I suspected that the timer wasn't switching the motor to full speed but didn't want to risk $300 cost of a timer vs a new machine costing $700. As a final try before I put the machine on the curb, I hit the timer about 5 or 6 times with a steel socket (not to break it but shake it a bit). I put the machine in spin mode, started, and voila! The machine was spinning high speed again! Thanks for these videos. They help us think critically through these problems!

My washer had the same problem. Thank to your video, I was able to trouble shoot it. Save a lot of money to fix! Thank you so much!!

I've never fixed anything in my life, usually I just break stuff but you just helped me fix my washer lol

Yeah I gotta say, nice job on the video. You get right into it and show a lot of good troubleshoots. Much appreciated!

Outstanding my Man.Me and the Wife just fixed our washer together. No fighting LOL. Thanks👍

We just checked our belt and it was the same problem! Thank you so much!!!! We REALLY needed it to be fixable!!!!!❤

Thank you so much for the video. We found that our three year old GE washer’s belt is completely broken.

Great Video! Very easy to follow step-by-step instructions. I noticed my GE Washer's spin cycle stopped working a couple weeks back and finally decided to look into what might be the issue. Hopefully I can potentially save some $$ if it was something you covered in this video...😃👍🏾

Thank you for the helpful video and tips! I too have this GE washer and the same issues described by SaltyKayak. In the past, when the machine was new if it became unbalanced it would add a little water, agitate and attempt to rebalance the load itself. The spin cycle would wring most of the water out and it was great. Now when a load becomes unbalanced during the spin cycle the machine attempts to add water and rebalance, but it does not rebalance or complete a spin cycle. The water drains from the drum, but the clothes are sopping wet due to the lack of centrifugal force squeezing the water out. I have checked all the usual suspects for drainage problems (hose clogs, pump not working, etc.) and electronic spin cycle signals (like the ones listed in your video); they were all working properly. When I moved the washer to start taking it apart, there was a small pile of rubber-like shavings under the machine. A larger amount of the black rubber shavings were piled inside the wheel/transmission cover like an old pencil sharpener. I checked the belt and it seems to be in fair condition. It isn't frayed or worn unevenly. It did seem to have some sections where the black shavings had been caught in the belt grooves and the friction caused them to fuse to the belt- unless the shavings are from the belt. Is there another part that could be wearing and leaving the shavings under the machine?

Dude thank you so much!! Bought this thing 3 years ago. Came home one night, did some laundry and it wasn't spinning. My heart dropped. I was so bummed. Like omg already? This thing was like over 500 bucks. Saw your video and it was the belt that slipped off underneath. You saved the day bro. Thank you and please keep making videos. If you find a water softer that you can fix or service ide love to see a breakdown of that. Mine broke and got stuck on regenerate so I bought a new one bc I didn't know my way around it. But I'm sure this new one will break eventually. Peace, and thank you for empowering homeowners everywhere.

Thanks for the info! As my handles suggests, I dig that kind of thing!

Thank you for making this video it helped me alot thank you

This video is super awesome. The tech is awesome. Love this guy

Appreciate the video. I too have no spin. Drive belt is good. Tomorrow I’ll remove the belt and see if the motor spins. Thanks

Saved me a huge headache with this one. Thank you for the video!

THANK YOU!!! BAD BELT REPLACED AND SHE'S FIXED!!!

Thank you Young Man❤ you saved this Old Granny's Washing machine! New Fan here🎉

I fixed the same model GE washer three times just from this video. Two times were resetting the code this time I think it's the belt. My husband bought me a speed Queen for Christmas so I'm not anticipating any repairs knock on dryer Lint.... This has me thinking about slapping on a new belt and throwing it on marketplace and getting my money's worth from it. 5 years old over $500

This video helped me solve my problem. It was my drive belt. Thank you.

I was so irritated with mine I just replaced my drain pump ($23 on Amazon) and now my washer isn’t spinning I was about to give up and just buy a new one glad I looked up this video…..I’ll definitely check the belt mine is a little older GE (it has 3 knobs)……repairs cost just as much as a new one these days…..you might just saved the day for me……I had no issue with my washer until after I had it in the storage for 15-16 months so it’s all new to me!!

Off to check my lid switch and capacitor. Belt is good and drain hose isn't plugged. AEfactory service technician came and replaced the agitator for a new one for $45. I'm not gonna use the warranty for this again. Thank you for the video!!

Thanks for the vid, way cheaper than paying a mechanic!

Don’t got someone to teach me and I don’t have money to throw things away so here we are! Thanks 🎉

Thank you so much for the free knowledge. It was the belt for me.

Our machine had a lid lock failure we think. But I now know how to check it from your video. Thanks

Great video. Taped under the machine is the owner's manual, it has a way to check diagnostic codes. It includes what the codes mean and how to reset or fix them. I'll definitely try the tips in the video though as I lost my owner's manual 🤣

God bless! Thank you for making this video. Very helpful 👍

Thank you very much! You solved my problem and saved me a lot of money!

Thank you. I learn a lot from you .

Amazing that people would rather send a good appliance to a land fill instead of a simple repair! Thank you for this info!

Great video. Have the same washer and the same problem. Will check it tomorrow.

Very helpful! Great video! Thank you!

Thank you for this... was able to troubleshoot this exact washer that I own...bad lid switch

Great video. Fixed my problem and saved me money! Thank you.

Thanks for your help!!! This video is perfect I fixes mine in about 30 minutes

THANKS GOOD SIR, YOU JUST GOT YOURSELF A SUBSCRIBER👍👍

Thank you so much! I'm not a Mr Fix It by no means but this video just made me look like one in the eyes of my kids! We had the same issue with our GE washer today and this video make me look like Mr Dad The Fix It Man!

You’re a genius 😩

Thanks for the clear video!!

Really good job at explaining everything! 👍🏾

Belt good, Continuity, fills and drains. But will not agitate or spin. I even replaced the board. Same model as the one in your video.

Gracias señor!!

Thanks, good info! If it's a belt issue, where does one get a new belt and how does one know what size. type etc of belt to get?

Excellent video.thanks

My lock switch had dirty contacts so it was sending a really high resistance value of around 70ohms back to the board, or an open circuit. The machine will NOT go into spin cycle if it doesn't read the lid is actually locked, you can disassemble the switch from the housing and use some 800 grit sandpaper to polish the contacts, they're under a little copper spring bar that you lift up once the switch itself is disassembled. Fortunately there's no parts that fall apart or jump out from this disassembly, just takes a tiny flat blade precision screwdriver to pop the switch out of the housing then take the cover off the switch. Make sure to leave the switch in the UNLOCKED position, there's a little slot on the back of the switch itself you can operate to lock/unlock by pushing it straight in, one press locks, another press unlock the switch. Makes sense how it works when you have it disassembled, you can tell if the switch is in the unlocked position because the little square plug on the bottom will be flush with the housing, in the locked position that square plug is extended a couple mm. If you don't have it unlocked you won't be able to close the lid of the washer once it's assembled.

That ping sound at at 9:08 was so perfectly timed.

Great Video!! Thank you so much for it.

To fix a no-spin GE washer, what you need can be a simple reset. This can be done in 2 minutes. See this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8B7pNOgu76XpGg.html

U are GENIUS!!!!!!! 😮 thank uuuuuuu

A lot of times we just don't have the help to move it ..I'm going to find help..I feel confident I can do this as a woman....THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE

Awesome thanks I have the same model and the belt is shredded just like your video cheep easy fix!

Broooo that was my issue the belt was torn apart!! just ordered replacement part 290D1101P005 belt - Thanks man

Fantastic. Fixing my washer with my son. Hopefully it works

Thank god I found your channel 🎉yeeeee. Thanks bro

Thank you for this video-fixed our washing machine for the cost of a belt ($12)! Truly grateful to you!

LOL My washing machine is holding all my socks hostage in a sloppy wet mess lol . Thanks for the video. I have a magnetic switch for a Door safety so I ruled that out. So I know what I will be doing this weekend.

Thanks for the help I found a piece of clothing on mine awesome video

They used to make appliances that lasted for decades. Now they have failure points designed in to keep us suckers on the hook. My newest appliance was made in 2005 & I fully intend to keep all my current ones.

Excellent job!!

Thank you very much.

Great Vid ......Thanks for " The Skills"

This man is a wizard.

Good evening, I have the same washer and wanted to ask what belt model # did you use and where did you purchase it from? Thank you for your helpful video.

Hey I have a GE washer wlsr3000g5ww and I have to reset it after every wash or it wont make it thru the rinse and spin cycle. Any ideas on what is causing this it has worked great we bought it used no problems for four years and now this.

EXCELLENT VIDEO BRO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice video ,thanks!!

I have a similar set of GE washer/dryer. I am looking to sort out an issue with the dryer sensing rails. They are slightly warped and have a gap underneath. Fabrics get caught and the dryer never shuts off. Do you have a suggestion or video for a fix? Sorry to hear that they are not good, like so many are. Enjoy your videos, thank you.

what did you use to take off the bolts at approx 6 min 45 secs?

I have a GE GTW330ask4ww toploader... less than 10 years old, and it will not finish high-speed spin cycle anymore. Clothes are sopping wet. Seems to generate out-of balance error and stop even when load is not too big and seems reasonably well balanced when I spin the tub of wet clothes by hand. I have replaced the suspension rods.... it there anything to check that may improve balance or enable high-speed spin ?

My model is GTW500ASN0WS, serial LR999206G, and I’m probably looking at electrical damage underneath from a basement flooded and got a foot tall of water that affected the bottom part of the washer. I’m trying to figure out would need to be replaced? I opened and closed the lids six times I unplugged the machine for a minute, I press the buttons for the wash cycle it makes a noise, but then it does not show the fill button light, gyrates for a second, and does not jet water out and then makes the finish button noise three minutes later

Not spinning is a pretty general symptom, caused by belts, and other factors. Mine was a tub level air dome clogged up. It's a chamber the size of a pack of smokes with a hose connection on the side of the tub. The washer was overfilling, and emptying out the water and just sitting there running the pump after it was already empty, never running the spin cycle and shutting down. Blew some air into it to blast the crud out. works great now. Hope this helps others. LMK

Thanks man, I fixed mine same problem.

very helpful, thank you

Wonder if this would apply to a frigidaire gallery model

I have the exact same washing machine Except it has a, intimented no spin I doubt it's going to be the belt it has worked for a week and then now again today it's acting up again . I will go through your test my lid light shows to be on but I will test that and the Capacitor if my multimeter will allow, hopefully I get lucky any ideas would be greatly appreciated
