I have a GE washer Model #: GFW450SPM1DG which is not completing the cycle. When it stops, the clothes are wet - clearly the spin/drain hasn't completed. On another thread, I read about a water sensor being the problem, but I have replaced that with no change. Further research found a thread that indicated a possible clogged port that connects the tub by a tube to the level sensor.
That was a few months ago. Today I tore into it again and found a white plastic part at the bottom of the tub, which connects by a tube to the level sensor. If I blow into the tube, I can actuate the level sensor, so I think I'm on the right track.
However, the part doesn't seem to do anything. It plugs into the bottom of the tub and is sealed there with an O-ring (and two screws). If I blow into the part that connects into the tub, it's like blowing into a capped pipe. Nothing happens. I can't get any air through it.
The plastic is somewhat translucent, and there's some discoloration. I'm wondering if this is a piston kind of thing that should be moving with the water pressure to activate the level sensor.
Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track?
