The machine stopped working in a normal ay. The little screen told us we had a lid lock problem. So we fixed it.
We disconnected the rear of the dashboard and folded it toward. We unsnapped the top cover and exposed the lid lock. We removed the old lid lock and replaced it with the new parts from SelectPart. Put it all back together.

washer would make noise when it was spinning and sometime it would not spin out
I contacted parts select and entered washer information and asked them if they thought they would now what the problem was and and they responded with a answer and also a list of two parts that they thought might take care of the problem. I ordered the parts,looked on u tube to see how to change them and replaced both parts .I think the clutch was good but the drive belt was stretched and needed replaced.Know it works great.

Post spin, water was leaking into washer basket from upper rear of cabinet
Unplug washer; turn off hot/cold water valves at wall. Access rear of washer; remove 2 long screws anchoring control panel; remove 3 short screws along top of control panel; remove panel; rotate panel forward to rest on washer top (disconnect orange pressure attached to green computer panel. Blue water valve assembly is obvious! Remove hot & cold inlet hoses from washer (have bucket handy to catch water in hoses). Take picture of old water valve so you can reinstall electrical clips in exact same sequence! Remove 3 short screws that anchor water valve; lift out water valve; disconnect clips; gently life out old water valve. Install new water valve in reverse order.
Use needle-nose pliers as a lever to remove tight electrical clips (they are not designed to come loose easily). Google online videos. Really easy, when you watch a couple videos!

Washer was shaking while on spin cycle
Extremely easy. You will need a helper to make it easy. The best directions are on you tube.

washer performed all functions, except spin
6y/o washer.
First checked lid switch. It turns out that the connector was disconnected. Probably became disconnected after the shaking from an unbalanced load. Reconnected and worked for three loads, then failed to spin again.
Purchased switch kit, belt and mode shifter, but held off the replacement. Parts select shared the diagnostic sheet. You can find yours inside the washer in a Ziploc bag. Tilt washer back and look underneath.
Went through diagnostic codes and all checked out fine. Did a fault reset. Worked again for three loads then failed to spin. GE sent a tech ($109 for service call). His diagnosis read-out showed rods/springs needed replacement. Parts arrived in three days and took about 45 minutes to r&r (I marked the new ones with a marker when unpacking to avoid confusion). USE VISE GRIPS AND.INSTALL FROM THE TOP. DO THE REAR.ONES FIRST Afterward, three loads done fourth load no spin.
Replaced lid switch with the kit. Again 3 loads fine, 4th load spin fail.
Note; each unplug & replug in resets the error codes, which may explain the 3 load temporary fix.
Did more research...
Finally, replaced old lid switch with lid switch kit (old switch was functioning fine, but I had the kit, so replaced it, in the event it was throwing an error code. Again 3 loads fine, 4th failed to spin.
Tilted washer back 45° for bottom access. Removed old belt. Belt and pulleys were loaded with grease/oil. Pulled both pulleys and scoured them. Replaced mode shifter. Note; old belt was about 3/4" larger diameter than new belt. Part#s matched, so it was the correct belt. Obviously the old belt was very worn. Oil/grease may be a combination of two things 1-slight leak from transmission seal, without any puddles on the floor and 2- the heat from the worn belt degrading the petroleum within.
While under the washer, removed the pump and hoses, checking for obstructions in the hoses and impeller. None found.
While underneath I grabbed the tech sheet from inside wall.
Checked the capacitance of the capacitor. Spec on the capacitor is 60 +/-5%. Mine tested at 61.1...within specs. (Be sure to discharge capacitor safely first!)
Reassembled the machine. Working fine through fifteen loads so far.
Final note. YouTube videos for all these steps online.
Conclusions; mechanically easy repair for DIYer. Probable causes...Belt worn, mode shifter and rods/springs worn out.
Total cost ~$200 parts + $109 for GE tech call.
Labor ~3 hours, but only because of so many disassembly re-assembly attempts at repair. Had it all been done at one time, total time would've been <1.5 hours
Thanks parts select and Barb (you're awesome)

Washer would not start
The parts I ordered were made of junk plastic and did not match up with the the existing parts. The parts did not end up fixing the problem and I bought a new washer instead.
Waste of money

Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.
REALLY easy-
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.

Violent shake
You have to take the top off of the washer and the four suspension rods are at each corner. Fairly simple removal and installation of the rods. A quick you tube search is all it took. Easy peasy.

Auger would spin in both directions but not spin while washing
Used a Phillips screw driver to lock the top and bottom of auger. Took a while to separate from base. Used another driver to remove old base and put the new one on with nut driver. Placed auger on base and turned to lock. Job done and works great.
Thanks

The washer would fill with water then stop.
Open up the top of the washer per instructions. Remove the old switch and wiring harness. Install the new wiring harness and switch. The instructions that were provided are very descriptive so the installation went flawlessly. The switch has been redesigned and looks to be more robust than the original. The washer now works like new.

Lid wouldn’t lock keeping machine from working
Unplugged the machine, pulled it away from the wall, didn’t have to disconnect water lines, set the parts out on the counter as I went over the instructions a couple of times, followed the directions, plugged it back in, worked perfectly again.

washed well but would not shift out of spin cycle
easiest repair I have ever made. No problems and was surprised as to how fast and easy it was to repair. I did not need two of steps the instructions stated I had to do. best purchase I have ever made.
