To troubleshoot your GE washer that is not draining, not spinning, not filling, or showing error codes, follow systematic checks. First, check power and water: ensure washer plugged in and breaker not tripped, hot and cold water valves behind washer fully open, inlet hoses not kinked, and water pressure adequate. Second, check for error codes: display may show F9E1 or E22 for drain problem, F8E1 for fill problem, F5E1 for door lock, note code. Third, check drain pump filter: for GE front-load washers like GFW650SSNWW, open small access door at bottom front, drain water via emergency hose, unscrew filter and clean coins, lint, and debris that cause not draining. Fourth, check lid or door: ensure door fully closed and latched, lid lock must engage, if lock failed at 20 to 40 dollars, washer will not spin. Fifth, check load balance: overloading beyond 3/4 full or washing single heavy item like rug causes out-of-balance that prevents spin, redistribute clothes evenly. Sixth, clean inlet screens: turn off water, disconnect hoses behind washer, clean small screens inside inlet valve with brush to remove sediment causing slow fill. Seventh, perform hard reset: unplug washer for 10 minutes to clear control board glitches, plug back in. Eighth, enter diagnostic mode: with washer off, turn knob 3 clicks clockwise, 1 counterclockwise, 1 clockwise, all lights flash, press Start to run test. If still not working, call technician.
