New Style Ge / Hotpoint Washer Overflowing Problem
| Recently I've seen this problem a lot on the Newer Style
Ge/Hotpoint
washers. Usually 1 to 5 years old. What is happening is the washer is spinning
with the tub full of water. to check it do this .... Let the washer fill up with water
with it set on the highest setting. Then open the lid on the washer. Hold something
non-conductive, like a non-conductive
screwdriver in the lid switch hole to make the switch. Watch the tub and the agitator. The
agitator should be going back and forth. THE TUB SHOULD STAY SOMEWHAT
STATIONARY, it should move no more than 2" right or left of
index. IT SHOULD NOT
SPIN. If it does then your washer is spinning the water out the over flow tube which means
you have a bad brake that holds the tub. If your Transmission has a white
UPC code sticker on it, you can order a bearing kit to repair this. If
your transmission has a yellow or green UPC sticker on it then you must
replace the complete transmission and brake assembly. If the washer's
transmission isn't under warranty, it's probably not worth repairing as GE
transmissions are around the 200.00 price range. To get the washer
repaired under warranty you'll need to contact your selling dealer. Be
sure to inquire if both the part and labor are covered and if not what
will the labor costs be. Note: You will also need a special Tool Kit to install the Bearing Kit. For Warranty Questions Contact your Selling
Dealer, look in your
