turn down the water pressure on the water line to the washer if the water pressure is to high it will splash out of the filler. there should be a vale on the main water line to the washer.

GE front load washer can't handle more than a single shirt at a time or won't tumble or spin

Front load washers have an auto water level determined by the weight of the clothes placed in the washer.
If that sensor is malfunctioning the washer may not run !
Unfortunately I think that its time to spend $75. and have a trained GE laundry tech with hands on diagnostic experience remedy the problem. Rather than you spending tons of your hard earned money swapping parts!
I agree with you on that point!
I understand this is not as complicated as a jet engine.
And you tried your best,but some times it is more
cost efficient to let a surgeon fix my hernia while I'm relaxed and under anesthesia, than try to fix it myself!
If My jet was broken, I would not risk flying it after I fixed the problem because I am an appliance man!
I would prefer my life in your hands with your expertise !

Please cut your self a break and call service. You may find it interesting, and fascinating yourself to see what the problem was!

Bless you, and let me know what was the end result!

I believe if I was there with hands on, I would solve your problem!
Please give me a good rating before you sign off, for my rational and calming advice

Frigidaire Gallery Model FWT449GFS1

There is an obstruction in the drain pump. The only way to clear the obstruction is to remove the lower panel at the front by removing the 2 screws at the lower edge. This will allow the front panel to drop down. You will need to unplug the machine for the next part.

Now this will get a little messy... Be sure to have a lot of towels nearby to sop up the water. On the lower right hand side there is a pump with a black bellows attached which is also attached to the bottom of the tub. This black hose is clamped to the front of the pump if you unclamp the hose the remaining water in the system will spill out. You will have to reach inside the bellows and remove whatever obstruction is inside. some models will have a trap inside which may have to be removed from the top of the hose assembly by unscrewing the clamp on the bottom of the tub.

The hose will have to be reattached in the reverse manner. It can be quite tricky to do so... Once the machine is back together you can run a rinse and spin cycle, it should go into the full spin when all the water drains.

This procedure may have to be repeated a couple of times to completely remove all of the carpet fibres.

Fabric softener will not dispense

My wife reported the same problem and I took the top off the washer (2 screws at rear of washer and top slides forward) . Under the top on the left front side behind is the dispenser. On the top is a click adjuster similar to a clock hand pointer and in the center is a tick mark and off to the left side is (-) marks for reduced dispensing and to the right (+) marks for increasing dispensing. I moved the pointer all the way to the plus side and after a few loads the dispenser works fine. I assume over time the different fluids (fabric softener, detergent, etc) tend to gum up the valve mechanism. If this doesn't work I would try pouring some very hot water in it to try and loosen things up. After you try all the free thing, I guess the last option is a new dispenser.

The internal brush can be used to replace brush in similar holder on certain Electrolux, Frigidaire, and Kenmore washers (at least motor # 131276200).
