Ge washer "clicking"

I have a GE clothes washer (wbb3300a0ww) that will not agitate when it hits the 6min cycle of wash. All I get is a loud clicking sound. I think I have a two speed motor. Could one speed be broke?

Could it be the timer?

You have a bad drive coupler. This is kind of a pain to replace and I would recommend a professional to do it because it’s not easy to install. Remove motor from machine and check the plastic gear system on the bottom. If I am correct, it probably gives you issues draining too.

Could the control panel be not giving the motor the right power to operate in the second wash setting/speed?

Yes your timer could be bad. Try smacking the area above your timer when the machine stops filling with water. If it starts up, there are bad connections in your timer.

If I purchase a part and it does not fix the problem can I return the part?

I replaced the control panel and I still have the same problem. It starts working just fine, then the loud clicking starts. Its trying to “agitate” , but it is just not doing it. Any ideas?
