Hey Everyone!
Our GE front load washer Model#GFW550SSN0WW started acting up yesterday after washing some bedding. This washer is 1.5 years old
.
We put the next load in and we came back down and it was still soaked. So I tried an extra spin, and then tried starting it over. Nope, nothing! So I took the clothes out, I also checked the pump filter. Tried running in a spin cycle again. Pumped some of the water out, but when the basket started to spin it would stop after 3 -5 seconds and the time would just tick down. So I unplugged it and waited 15 minutes. Tried again to start a new load on "normal" mode. The water would start to fill, and the basket would spin 3-5 seconds then stop. Probably tried another combination of these steps 20+ times to see if I would just get lucky
.
I put the washer into diagnostic mode and I'm getting the error codes 26, 39, 34 and 3. I then went about testing the test 24 and test 14. Test 24 seemed to go well. During test 14 I encountered the same problem, drum spins for 3-5 seconds then stops.
Any recommendations on what to do? Anything I can do? Should I see if someone local is out there?
I've been to the GE website and their trip charge is $110 and they don't have anything available until August 24th. <- I will be washing clothes for a family of 6 by hand until this is fixed. While it is great for my forearms, we have lots of other things to be getting done.
Thank you for any recommendations!
