I opened it after the cycle was complete to find tiny shreds of my shirt all over the washer and my sleeve had been shredded. The same thing happened to my sons shorts. What can I do to fix the problem?

I have had 2 articles of clothing ripped to shreds. The repairman told me to clean the filter monthly which we do but it is always wet down below under the washer by the motor. I am really frustrated.

The tearing of the clothes can only come from problem inside the basket, with the vanes or some tear in the basket catching the clothese. The drain problem may be something stuck in the pump, or some obstruction in the drain hoses. It is likely that a torn piece of clothing is plugging things up inside the pump or the hoses. You are probably going to have to tear into this thing, and here is a service manual for a similar model that will show you how if you decide to do that. http://appliancejunk.com/ge/washer/31-9135.pdf
