I had made a minor repair to this model by removing an object that had gotten wedged in the belt system that spins the drum. Washer washes fine save for water draining from the nozzle hose that runs down the side and connects to the frame. Water seems to drain in rythym with agitation and stops during fill, drain and spin. Here is the part. http://www.appliancepartspros.c...&diagram_id=20586826What is this nozzle for anyway and is there anyway I can get it to stop draining short of plugging it up?

Hi Sentry
There should be a plastic hose from that nozzle which then goes back into the machine. This may be part of the system that adds bleach or some other additive to the laundry.
See you have a way to connect the nozzle back into the tub.
Good luck and let us know what you do

Good luck and let us know what you do Thanks for checking in, Well this hose is of a hard plastic and is straight...not mallable in any way it would seem. It comes down from that nozzel about 3 feet and rests in this hole in the washer frame near the bottom. I just have no idea what this thing does.

Well, right now that makes two of us.
This is a relatively older model, and GE is very close with the documents so I do not have anything on it. What I will do is that as soon as I get one of these in the shop (I test and repair appliances donated to a non-profit, which are then sold to raise money for the cause) which we do about 2 to 3 times a month, I will tear into it and find out about.
In the meantime, someone else viewing the post may have some ideas.

Well, now you have really made me curious. As soon as I open up one at work I will let you know what I see. If someone knows these machines intimately maybe they can tell us they were made with an overflow tube?
Thanks
