How do I change my drain pump
For model number GFW550SPN1DG
Fix.com logo
Hi Kristina, thank you for the question. We are providing you with some instructions that might help you in replacing this part: 1) Unplug the unit. 2) Pull the dispenser all the way out, press on the tab to unlock the drawer in the rear of the dispenser and take it out. 3) Remove the screws in the dispenser housing then pull up on the console slightly on the left side and push it to the right to remove it. 4) With the console set aside, it will expose screws at the top of the panel, which you will need to remove to get access to the top of the unit. 5) To start removing the bulkhead, you need to remove the outer door spring with a screwdriver and peel the door boot away. 6) Unthread the screws on the door lock's plastic facade on the right and remove it. With the plastic facade removed, it will give access to the screws holding the door lock in place. Unthread these screws to remove the door lock from the bulkhead. 7) Remove the screws on the front of the bulkhead at the top, on each side and beneath the washer. With all the screws removed, pull up on the bullhead then forward towards you away from the washer. 8) With the bulkhead removed, you can access the pump in the lower right corner. Make sure the pump has been fully drained. 9) Take the drain hoses off, disconnect the wires and then repeat the process to install the new pump. We hope this is helpful!

Washer stopped working
My first step was to unplug and re-plug the washer into a different working electrical outlet to see if the power-on control panel would reset itself. The washer would cycle on but within few second it would power down. After watching an how to short video from GE website My next step was to get access to the main control board by disasse mbling the front and top panels to check for a blown fuse located on the board. I also checked the water pump filter for sign of lint build up. The lint filter was clean and the fuse wasn’t blown.
Next I attempted to set the control panel into diagnostic mode so as to read any error code stored on the board , I wasn’t successful therefore I summarized the control board needed to be replaced.
With the new control board on hand I unplugged the washer from the electrical outlet, grounded my wrist with a ground wire linked to the house water metal pipe. I proceeded to unscrew the control board module from the washer frame, unsnapped half dozen electrical leads then extracted the defective board. I carefully installed the new board double checking all connections for proper fit. After reinstalling the top and front panels I plugged and powered up the washer, it took me approximately two hours to successfully repair the washer.

Washer running but not draining
Followed YouTube instructions to lay the machine on its back, for easier access to the pipes and drain pump from the exposed bottom of the machine. Cleared the pipes first of a slight clog in the filter, turned the machine upright again, but it still did not drain. Laid the machine on its back again, after ordering a new drain pump, and f itted the new pump. Again, it did not work, but left the new pump in and ordered a new control board. Fitting a new control board involves detaching the control panel and cabinet top, which is not hard, then extracting the old control board. Taking off the wiring clips turned out to be significantly more difficult than re-connecting them when the new control board arrived. Fitting a new control board can easily be done with the machine upright. This time the draining did work, yay, and the washer is now fully functional again.
