Default Washer does nothing
Model Number: WSXH208A1WW   Brand: GE   Age: 5 - 10 years   

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
My front loader will only fill and drain. I have turn the dial to other selections, but it will not do anything. The motor will not run. There was a trouble shooting guide which I followed. It tells you to check the resistance across the 6-pins to the circuit board. This checks OK at 3 ohms. Then you are to check voltage at the 10 pin. The voltage is OK there too. Then check resistance for the motor it wasn't suppose to be over 2.6 ohms +-7% I got 3.0 ohms. So I replaced the motor NO GOOD. I get 3.0 ohms with the new. I then checked the timer. voltage is what it is suppose to be, and the N/C and N/O pins are correct. The door switch is also good, because it wouldn't fill CORRECT. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am lost as what to do next

On the speed control unit, check the fuse, if open replace the speed control unit. If fuse is good then remove the 6 pin plug from the speed control and measure resistance between pins 1 and 2, 2 and 3, then 3 and 1 on the speed control board. If your meter reads anything other than 3 meg ohms +- 10% replace the speed control unit. Remember, the timer does not advance until the speed control unit tells it to move forward, so I doubt the timer is at fault.

3ohms or 3 meg ohms, big difference. The problem you describe are most likely the speed control, door latch, or even could be the dispenser door switch. i believe your model has a magnet switch. You can check this by putting a paperclip on the right side of the dispenser when opened. The magnet should be just behind the front panel of the dispenser.
