When you push start, it does not put water in the tub, but I will jump to wash without water in it
For model number GCWN4950D1WS
Hello Dale, thank you for contacting us. The issue is probably related to a faulty water inlet valve, part number PS3652834, and a defective pressure switch, part number PS2354068. Please test these parts with a multimeter. If this does not help, the issue is probably related to a faulty control board, part number PS8757105. It manages the washer's functions such as filling, washing, draining, and spinning. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
I have two problems with this top load washer. 1) water will drip into the tub when the washer is not in use and 2) on all but one setting the water will start to fill the tub but then stop. Any guidance you can provide on this fix would be great.

Hello Tisha, thank you for contacting us. Before replacing any part, we would recommend checking the pressure of the water. If the pressure is low, then the water inlet valve is not detecting that water, and it starts filling the tub. If the issue still occurs, you may need to check the water inlet valve, part number PS3652834, and the electronic control board, part number PS8757105. We hope this solves your problem!
After removing frt panel which prys off I checked for anything obvious like a loose belt. Then I jiggled the magnet switch located on the inside of the loading cover. I saw the machine start agitating the it stopped again when I stopped touching it. I ordered the new part and spliced it in with the wire crip tool. Now the machine is A ok.
To diagnose, first I unhooked the washer: power, water supply, and drain pipe. I then slid the washer out, laying it on its front. With nutdriver, I unscrewed two screws that held the other end of the drain tube and removed it completely. Then, again with the nutdriver removed 4 screws from the back near the legs, two in between the legs in the middle, and approx. 4 to 6 on the bottom. This let me pull the bottom off partially to access the motor area. (I did did not take the bottom completely off, only about 2/3 off and let it bend over, as it was flexible tin) The belt was broken. After receiving the new belt, I positioned it between the pulley and the motor and between the drum and the big pulley. Then I rotated the big pulley, pulling the belt onto it as I rotated. At the same time, as I rotated, I pulled the other end of the belt on to the little pulley. Once it was on, I would put pressure on it as I turned the pulley, to jump the belt to the appropriate grooves on the little pulley. Note: the replacement belt had been modified, so it had one less groove than the pulley. I would have known this if I had read the insert that came with the belt first! Anyway, this was not a problem, only a design change. Also it was important to start the belt on the inside, so if it slipped, you didnt loose your bite. Total diagnostic, repair, and reassembly time: 30 minutes plus or minus. I had read other online forums that said you had to loosen the motor, etc. And I do know some type of a belt installation tool was offered on line, but I got along fine with my installation method. An extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not necessary.
Used 1" puddy knife to depress spring loaded retainer tabs. Front panel is removed by prying the top of the front panel away from the machine. Lift front panel to release bottom from machine. Set panel aside. New belt is installed by placing it on the drive pulley and then rolling belt onto the motor pulley. Rotate the motor by hand while moving belt so it is properly seated on pulley.
