GE model wjre5500g0ww top load washer won't work

My GE model wjre5500g0ww top load washer does not work. When I press the start button, nothing happens. The lights come on to indicate the cycle I've selected but that's it. When I checked the inverter board, the LED repeatedly blinks on and off. It does not stop blinking. Can you please assist?

Answer

Hi,

Here are Replacement parts in General Electric WJRE5500G0WW Washer
icon

The motor/inverter on this washer stores fault codes. The LED you see blinking will blink once every second non-stop when in stand-by mode and twice every second non-stop when it should be running. If there is a fault code the LED will blink a cretin number of times then stop for a few seconds. Some of the fault codes not allow the motor to operate. For a full list of the fault codes and information on how to clear the fault codes use this page HydroWave GE Washer Repair Guide

The next thing to check if there isn’t a fault code is the lid switch. You will have to disconnect power and cut the wires (leave enough wire to reconnect if the lid switch isn’t bad). Then test for continuity across the wires going to the switch with the lid down.
I hope this helps!

Thank you,
Shawn/administrator

One more thing
by: Shawn/administrator

If it will not fill with water you may have a different problem such as a bad water valve, low water pressure, a bad control or maybe even a bad pressure switch.

If the water valve is getting power but there is no water you got a bad water valve or a problem with the water pressure.

If the water valve doesn’t get power you have a bad pressure switch or control board.

Agitate
by: Anonymous

Hi I also have a GE WJRE5500G0WW it fills with water fine and runs through all the cycles but it does not agitate correctly sometimes it does just a little bit sometimes not at all, I tried all the different cycles and its about the same, when it does agitate its real wimpy, not enough to clean cloths, the spin cycle does not work either, it goes through the cycle it just does not spin.

Pulled the front cover off and the belt is their and ok. I can see the motor run and it looks like it makes about 1/2 turn then reverses?

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Motor Codes
by: Shawn

This model has codes built into the motor and some of the codes will restrict the speed of the motor. There is a led on the motor that blinks to indicate the fault code (or lack of) refer to this page for more HydroWave GE Washer Repair Guide
