Question

What is the cause for the water in our GE top-loading washer to leak during the drain cycle?

Community Answer

The reason for this issue is that the washer's hose clamp could be either loose or worn out. Try looking where you're draining the fluid to see if there are any issues, if there are no visible issues, move on to the hose that you are using.

Question

How do I unclog my washing machine?

Community Answer

Honestly, I recommend getting a new water pump to replace the old one. Water pumps are almost impossible to clean out, and once they get jammed, the housing and seals are destroyed.

Question

What could cause the drum to fill with water when the washer isn't in use?

Community Answer

A bad inlet valve that isn't closing tightly anymore could be the issue. You'll need to replace the valve.
