GE Front Loader Washer Motor and Inverter Testing
Shawn says this:
To test the motor sensor on a GE front loader washer, disconnect power to the washer then access the control. Follow these instructions to access the main control. 1. Remove the soap dispenser to access the hidden screw and remove the screw. 2. Remove the top of the washer. 3. Remove the two screws that hold the control on under the top. 4. Press in on the clips on the back of the control panel to release it.
Once you have accessed the control, locate the P9 connector and disconnect it. On that connector there will be two yellow wires. These are the two wires that go to the sensor. Test continuity across these two wires and you should get approximately 118 ohms. If not, the sensor is bad. The motor will have to be replaced if the sensor is bad.
Here's the motor for your model you can order if needed:
