Why is my GE GFWR4800 Washer not draining, spinning, or agitating?
- S
  Sarah HodgesAug 22, 2025
  If your GE Washer isn't draining, spinning, or agitating, there are several possible causes: * The load might be unbalanced. Try redistributing the clothes and running a drain & spin or rinse & spin cycle. * The pump could be clogged. * The drain hose may be kinked or improperly connected. Ensure the drain hose is straight and the washer isn't sitting on it. * The household drain might be clogged. Check your household plumbing, and call a plumber if needed. * The drain hose might be siphoning because it's pushed too far down the drain. Make sure there's an air gap between the hose and the drain.

  If your GE Washer is leaking water, consider these potential causes: * Check the door gasket for damage, ensuring it's correctly seated and not torn.
