GE WBVH6240F Front Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Clean filters to the pump

Unplug electrical cord, wait one minute then plug back in. Sorry this is all I can tell u as I cannot find a parts diagram anywhere on Internet, not only is LG not helping u they don't want anyone else to help either by keeping their drawings secret. You might try sears partsdirect.com and talk to tech.

I have notice this problem with a lot of front loaders. I would check the manufacture warranty to see with is covered and if you bought an extended warranty, use it, keep your receipts for your previous purchases.

If I had this problem, here is how I would approach it. Start by finding and writing down the complete model and serial number. Go to "SearsPartsDirect" web site and type in the make and model of the machine. When the schematic comes up , look closely at the pictures and see if there is a drive belt on your model. If so, I would start with that being the problem. It should be slipping. Replacing it is a pretty big job, it needs to come all apart. Could be because the machine is overloaded. I do not mean you have too many clothes in it, but that could be the case. Start by putting a half load into the machine and see if it still does this. Remember also, heavy clothes full of water can stress even the strongest model. God bless your efforts.

Yes very normal in a front loader for clothes to be dripping wet but you may see little to no standing water.

doesnt this model have the cancel button by the start button.......if so........switch on then hold cancel for 10 seconds........... cheers

that would be the bearing and housing gone on the drum, if you can lift the drum with your fingers at the bottom of the drum in the door hatch even by putting lifting inside then the bearing has gone. the plastic is the drum.housing usually were the bearing housing is. if there is a lot of movement then the bearing has gone. usually the front bearing but you will need to remove the drum and separated the drum to remove the drum then the bearing, rust on clothing is the bearing as its the only part in the drum that is metal.

Try two things: Add several cups bleach to the tub and run it a complete cycle. When not in use, leave the door open so it will air out.

Check water level sensor and its pipe is not blocked or restricted by powder buildup.

Buy affresh washer cleaner. its around 10 bucks and it cleans the inside of the washer and all the internal hoses. It works great! I am service tech in grants pass oregon and i use it on all the washers in the shop with no complaints.

Could be the dampers are broken or loose also could be a spring has come of the top of the tub.

Have you checked if drain pump is blocked? Read the http://www.ajmadison.com/ajmadison/itemdocs/r04033v-1.pdf

computer man not a washer thank you

my father had the same problem, was loading with to large of a load,

Check to see if there is any debris in the drain hose filter. We found a license (yes, really!), 86 cents, lots of fuzz, a few candy wrappers and a bandaide. Otherwise it could be the washer timer. Mine kept getting stuck in a cycle. Repairman said it was the timer. Trying to decide if I want to fix it or trash it. Part for mine is $215, labor $200.

I am having the same problem w/ our brand new front loader washer, it pauses constantly, and even when I can get the load to finish, I have to drain and spin atleast 3 x before I can even attempt to put in dryer, at this point it is taking me hours to do one load of laundry!!
Ugh-- Service man is coming tomorrow, so I will share what I learn...

Check the connections again, specially around the control board.Do you have water in the machine?

I am having the same issue. I have cleaned out the filter and had the pump replaced once already. I have been checking the drain/filter every time I use the washer and quite a bit of water comes out (nothing in the filter), often very soapy and if I let it stand overnight very stinky. I can get my finger into the pump and it does not appear to be frozen.

It is possible that the machine does not start off the cycle because there are errors due to feedback from the inputs. For the program to start up the main program controller must initiate the INLET/MOTOR/DRAIN pump/ valve to open up and allow each function to be driven starting from the flow of water into the drum as also the drain valve to open to exit the water at the point of the program cycle. If this does not happen then the voltage at the valve/motor/pump must be checked or the fault relates to no voltage from the controller. This means the controller is a suspect.

If the water flows though the inlet then the flow pressure should be good, if not the inlet valve is bad or there is dirt in the filter. Also check the flow at the inlet of the water line. Once the water comes into the system the WATER LEVEL SENSOR - normally a pressure switch- must activate at the preset/chosen level to give the signal to the program controller to switch on the motor. What is most important for the motor to start functioning is that the door switch must be ON when the door is shut or this will be an error for starting the motor for rinse and wash.
