The washing machine will keep filling water after that wash is complete.
For model number GFW450SPM1DG
Hi Romulo,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is filling with water when it is not in use, then a component inside the water inlet valve has failed and it will need to be replaced. The part number listed under your model number for the water inlet valve is PS12582959. If you would like to place an order for it, you may order it either online or by calling our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

I have a 5 yrs old GE washer Model # GFW450SPM1DG, Serial # GL220574T. The problem is water pouring from the pump filter when starting the washer to wash a load. My pump filter do look strip a little but still close tightly. I’m not sure if this need to be replace. I always drain the water and clean the pump filter after each wash. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks

Will not stop filling water
For model number GFW450SPM1DG
Hello Romulo, Thank you for your inquiry. We recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: water inlet valve, the water level pressure switch, and the fill hoses. You can test the valve and switch with a multimeter. Good luck with your repair.
Our washer drum won’t spin. When it turns on water and soap do dispense and it drains fine. The machine makes a lot of clicking and try’s to pause. I be check the belt and if manually turned the drum does spin. Does this sound like motor issue? Or do you have another recommendation.

Hi Athena, thank you for the question. Based on our research, we would recommend checking the door lock first. If it is fine, the issue is most probably with the user interface board, part number PS12343360. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Remove the front coverfrom the machine. This is done by removing the 3 screws at the bottom of the panel. The panel then drops down and pulls straight off. The pump is located on the front right wall of the of the machine. You will notice a 2-3 inch diamete threaded cap on the right side of the front wall of the machine. This is the front of the pump and access to the filter. Place a large bucket under this cap and slowly loosen the cap. All of the water remaining in the machine will begin to drain (this could be a lot of water. Do not remove the cap completely so that you can quickly stop the flow of water if needed). Once all water is drained from the appliance, Disconnect the two hoses from the pump using a pair of pliers to looses the presure clamps, sliding the clamps back an then pulling off the hoses (be careful of any remaining water in the hoses). Then remove the two screws from the rear base of the pump that secure it to the bottom floor panel of the washer. Slide the pump slightly to the rear to free it from the fittings on the front wall of the machine and the lift the pump up. At this point, firmly pull out the wiring harness plugged into the top right side of the pump. Install the new pump by plugging in the wiring harness and resecuring the pump. Plug in the machine and run on the rinse and spin cycle to test.
I took the two drain hoses off with the pliers then only two screws that holds the pump. After that the two hot wires which are black and white. But remember to unplug you're washer since the pump is not grounded you don't want to risk being shocked. Hope thi helps. Plus i saved around 250.00 by repairing myself.
~Unplugged ~Removed front bottom and rear center panel ~Removed broken dampers. Varying difficulty; other components in the way. Used socket to help push pin out with screwdriver and pliers to help remove the pin. ~Installed New Dampers: Used Small (6") crescent wrench for top. Fitting two (2) hands in there, one to hold and one to turn was a challenge for all four (4) dampers. Had to extend a couple to wedge to damper in there to hold the arrow hear flush. Installing the pins in the bottom was somewhat easier than the top. I broke the retaining pin completely off an old pin to align the new damper to the base mounting hole (hard to see in there). Used Pliers, a long screwdriver and rubber mallet. Note my situation was in a very small room. So small I had to remove the door to the room so that I could pull the washer out to get behind it. The warnings about sharp edges should not be ignored! Long sleeves (chainmail) and steel fish fillet gloves might help!
