My GE Front Loading Washer WCVH6400JWW has failed.
Washing machine will tumble but not spin and any cycle gets interrupted early and machine pumps water out.
I went into test mode and got error E46.
The pressure switch and hose seem to be fine (no holes in pressure hose). Test T06 completes successfully (machine fills to Foam, Main, and Overflow Levels then pumps out to E). Checked pump and hoses for clogs - all clear pumps water out.
Test T10: tub tumbles but only in one direction (does not alternate directions as indicated in the service manual.
Test T11: pump starts but tub does not spin at all (shows 0 rpm). Will not start spinning just stays at zero.
I tried re-programming the control board in Test option T01 but there was no change.

Any ideas of what the reason is?

HI Thanks.. yes i went thru these codes already.. when i run the test ( after clearing the code ) as i mentioned there is no error codes after these tests ..


Here are some more details :

The GE front load washing machine. model :gbvh5200j0ww
It stopped washing , spinning ( may be i overloaded with cloths .. i dont know..) .i have already checked the foll:

1) Belt behind is ok. I can rotate the drum by hand in both dirs..
2) cleaned up washer pump filter
3) replaced control inverter ( based on some technicians advice) and still the issue is there (so it is not a problem of inv board)

I did see an error code e46 ( and this for before running the diagnostic tests) but was not sure if these are from old test or something .. so i cleared these up before conducting the tests and re tried :
a) the test t10 ( tumble test mode) , it rotates 5 times in one dir and stops. No tumbling in opposite direction. But i dont see updated error code .. it shows e00 ( meaning no error code stored)

b) test t11 ( spin test). It shows 0 on the panel and the drum does not spin ( the motor does not rotate .. i checked from behind the machine). There is some draining pump sound ..that is it ( and once again he error code does not get updated ..

Anyways there is definitely issues with rotation etc.. I have not checked the ohms etc of the motor yet to test further ( need to buy the multimeter etc)..

Also the tumble test moves the drum in one dir , so am not sure if the motor is the issue ( as it does notate in one dir 5 times..)

Thanks again
Vishy
