Drain but doesn't wash
For model number WHRE5550K2WW
Hello Desmond, Thank you for the question. In order to trouble shoot this issue we will need a bit more details. When you say it will drain but not wash, is it going right to fill and then drain and skipping the wash cycle, or is the timer going through the wash cycle but the motor is not running to agitate and spin? When it drains, does it spin first or go right to drain? Any other details on the symptoms? Does the motor make any noise during the wash cycle? The more details the better since we can not be with the appliance. Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

It is making a bad grinding sound, it doesn't want to go.
For model number WHRE5550K2WW
Hello Jeff, thank you for your question. We have researched your model and found that the issue is probably with the tub bearing, part number PS271510. If that does not take care of the issue, then the problem is most likely to be related to the drive pulley, part number PS1482349, and/or the drive belt, part number PS1482278. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Agitator comes off during washing cycle. It still agitates but won’t stay attached to coupler..

Hello Michelle, thank you for reaching out. Make sure the pulsator screw is properly tight. If it is fine, we would recommend replacing the coupling pulsator, part number PS2340064. We hope that helps!

1. Drained the wash tub by taking the drain hose from the back of the washing machine and dropping it below the tub - water flowed out of hose a lot easier than trying to suck water out of tub using a pump (tried this on the first time I tried to fix washer). (Washing machine on 2nd floor of house and didn't want water running on floor) 2. Removed the 2 bolts holding the Pump/Motor assembly to the machine. 3. Removed both hose clamps on the Pump/Motor assembly and removed Pump. 4. Attached the new drain inlet hose to the pump and then to the tub with the original hose clamps. 5. Attached the drain hose to the pump and then plugged in the 2 wires for the pump. 6. Plugged in the washing machine and everything worked.
NOTES: 1. Hardest part was working with hose clamps (spring type clamps) in the tight space under the machine. 2. Easier to fix since I pulled machine apart a few days before - removing the clog in the pump/motor assembly only to get everything back together to find out that the motor was dead. Still well worth the time and effort due to not having to go out and buy a new Machine...
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.
Aside from getting the wet clothes and most of the water out,the toughest part of the job for me was to figure out how to get inside the machine. I nearly wrecked the thing trying to lift the top panel. After some frustration I removed the star-type screws on back of the control panel and found, tucked away neatly, the documentation/parts list complete with instructions on how to remove the FRONT panel. Once I got inside it was easy to locate the pump. I ran the drain cycle for a moment to see if the pump turned at all. The original had an exposed fan so it was easy to see that indeed the motor was not turning. I inspected all the hose and electrical connections to make sure I had the tools I'd need and the savvy to replace the part(s) if I could locate them. I'm not much of a web-head, so I was a little surprised when I typed G.E. appliances and the search took me to partselect.com where I was pretty much coached through the procedure before I even ordered the part. The box arrived ahead of schedule (yay) and when I looked at the pump it didn't look much like the one I was replacing. But then I realized it was the same thing just ten years more advanced. I used a small pair of vise grips to pinch and lock the pipe clamps open. I know there is a plier made for this, but... Anyways, after loosening the clamps and sliding them away from the pump I pulled the hoses off and let the last of the rinse water still in them run down my shirt sleeve to my elbow. (optional, not recommended) Thus refreshed I then rummaged through my socket set and found what I needed to remove the 2 sheet metal mounting screws and disconnected the 2 power leads. I removed the faulty pump and proudly showed it to my wife. Unimpressed, she asked how much longer. I quickly reversed the procedure to install the new unit and confidently piled in a load of laundry. The cycle completed just fine and has done so since. I will and have recommmended partselect.com to friends and will use it again for sure.
