Eric Eric...thank you. I understand...I will look into that switch and the hose connection on the switch and check it for continuity as well...Take care, Victor

Eric Thanks Eric...I thought I had the problem fixed...Could you explain how the pressure switch would affect the spin out on the small cycle? I have no problems replacing that switch but is it possible that the spin problem is related to a control timer?

You will have to disconnect the hose at the air dome and blow into it to activate the switch. You should normally have continuity across the terminals where the yellow/black and brown wires attach and when you blow into the hose to activate the switch, you should have an open circuit across those terminals and continuity across yellow/black and violet wires. Eric Took off unit front...Immediately saw gunk at the hose end...Removed the stuff and reassembled...My sister ran a small load and all seemed fine...It filled and washed normally but she tells me it does not spin out on the small cycle only...Large & super spins fine it is just the small load that has the problem? Not sure but I will start searching the forum on this topic! Thank you for the help!

My sister has a relatively new GE washing machine that overfills the tub on all load settings. What is the best first step to diagnose the problem?
Thank you, Victor
