Today when I washed two pairs of jeans in small load, it stopped at the Spin cycle, the word Spin is red, and had this "hum...hum.. noise.

I turned it to "stop", I opened the lid, the dirty water was sitting in there. I took out my watery jeans (they were washed at least, I just need to dry them). I set it to extra small load (just in case water doesn't get out I won't have a big spill, and set to delicate instead of regular soil to be gentle). I didn't put any clothes in. I waited for about half hr then re-start.

The machine started washing, sound was normal. I then heard water being pumping out (normal as usual), and water coming in as usual, then the Rinse sound was normal too, but when suppose to be Spin, I didn't here water going out (water should be out then the loud spin would begin). It stopped at Spin. There was this sound, humm...sometimes a squeaking. I opened the lid, clear water was there.

Prior to today, during Spin, I felt it was very loud, louder than a different brand at my parents' house. This machine is not big but heavy, i am a girl, no way to pull it out of the laundry area to see the back. Maybe 2 men could do.

What could be the possible problems?:confused: Is it worth repairing it (labor plus parts)? I don't have much budget, but I don't want to repair something then later something else.....then I would rather buy a new portable one.

How are the GE washers made in the late 90's or early 2000's? How long do they usually last if you wash once a week?

Thank you so much.
