GE Energy Star WCVH6260F Front Load Washer - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Can you stack this model
Yes you can. If you contact the manufacturer, they will have a kit that has everything you need. If it is under the first year warranty, you will need to use the GE part # for your warranty to not void your warranty.
My GE GCVH6260FWW front load washer made a load
If the drum is also loose, it is dead. The plastic your are finding comes from a part inside. It will cost more (or close) to fix than to replace and you risk breaking other critical parts if you DYI.
Not draining?
Check the pump cleanout. You have to either remove the lower front panel or some have a little door you remove from the front bottom right. There is a @ 2'' plug to unscrew. Put a low pan under it to catch water, unscrew it and clean it out. Should drain after that.

This is exactly what my machine was doing, as well. I fixed it by cleaning out the filter in front of the water pump.
Searching here, I found that you can remove the lower front panel (three screws along the bottom edge is all it takes) to get to the filter. With the panel removed, you'll see a round white plastic cover (about 3-4 inches diameter) that screws out. Get a bucket under the cover to catch the water that's in it (could be 2 quarts or more) and unscrew the cover.
The cover pulls out, revealing that is actually a screw-in plastic strainer. I found tons of coins, broken pens, paper clips, etc. in mine when I did this. A lot will be deep inside the black rubber hose that connects this filter housing to the washer drum. You can rake the stuff out with a bent wire clothes hanger. Shaking the black hose will help hurry the junk along and out of your machine. Screw the cover back on after the clean out and your machine should go back to normal.
Thinking about it, front loaders will have lots of small items flushed into the pump compared to top loaders. Coins you alway found in the bottom of the drum in a top loader, they all wind up in the filter of a front loader. And once it slow the drainage to a crawl the machine will shut down multiple times when it can't drain the water out completely, and it will never step up to it's max spin speed with all that water still in the drum.
