Before doing anything reset it using the instructions in the site below. More often or not that will fix things. HydroWave GE Washer Repair Guide

I have no LED on the motor/inverter that I can find. I belive the motor/inverter must be bad, but I hate spending the money to find out that's not the problem. Where is the best place to order a motor from?? Thanks again....Bill

It may be that your mode shifter is bad, but that should generate error codes, so you may be correct in your diagnosis of the motor. If you order the motor/inverter from APP and it does not fix your machine you can return it for a refund. See the returns policy before you order.
