Get all the water out of the tub and take the hose off the pump and see if it is clogged. If so unclog it and the washer should go back to work. GE Washer won't spin Repair Guide

This could be as little as one or two drops a load. The belt could also be slipping. If the belt is slipping it could be due to grease or water getting on the belt. Unplug the washer and try to turn the big pulley by hand to see if the transmission is stuck. Note that you have to turn the pulley so that the brakes will release. Also check to see if the belt is slipping or the motor is hung. If the belt is slipping see if it has grease on it and if so replacing the belt will only buy you time. Also you may just be hearing the water pump. If this is the case the timer or the water level control could be the problem. Pull the tube off the water level switch and see if it will spin then if so clean out the tube. You can check the water level control with an ohmmeter. Unplug the washer and disconnect the wires off the switch. With no water in the tub there should be continuity from the terminal marked 7 to the 15 terminals and it should be open from 7 to 16. I don’t think it will be this switch because it is washing and not overflowing but check it anyway if the main motor isn’t running. I hope this helps!
