Front Load Washer - No Fill

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug the washer from the power supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

 

If your Front Load washer will not start filling:

• Check the fuse or circuit breaker box in your home and make sure power is supplied to the washer. Make sure the washer plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet. The washer should be on a separate, dedicated outlet.

• Is water turned on to the washer? Make sure the hot and cold water valves on the faucets are fully open.

• Some models will time out if the washer takes longer than 20 to 40 minutes to fill. This could be caused by low water pressure or clogged water valve screens. Check the water valve screens on the water inlet hoses. For more information, see Washer - Screens in Hot & Cold Water Inlets / Connections.

• The washer cycle could have been stopped or paused by accident. Make sure the Start/Stop or Pause button was not pushed.

• If the washer was stored where temperatures are below freezing, water in the pump can freeze and lock the motor. Allow time for thawing and it should start.

 

If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue, service may be needed. For service, please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service.
