This may seem obvious, but tighten all the screws on the front panel, especially around the door hinge area. A #2 Phillips screwdriver is all you need. Also, try to see where it's dropping - is it at the door itself, or does the entire hinge assembly sag where it enters the washer?
Follow these steps to enter the service mode on a GE front load washer. 1. Close the door.
2. Clear current cycles by pressing the power button. Make sure the screen is blank before attempting to enter the service mode.
3. Disconnect power to washer for at least 30 seconds.
4. Reconnect the power and within 30 seconds of reconnecting power complete the next step.
5. Press signal -delay start -signal - delay start.
If you successfully enter the washer into the service mode, t01 will be displayed and the door will lock.

Good luck with your troubleshooting!
Check the belt on the drive system to the motor.if the motor is working the belt might be broken. If the belt is intact it could be a relay to engage the belt drive.
The lint filter is behind the lower panel, under the washer's door. Remove the three Phillips screws and locate the round white "plug" shown above. Be sure to have a bucket or large bowl to catch water, as there's a LOT of water in there. See my above comment posted June 29th.
You need to replace the water inlet valve. Here is the part to order.I have the complete service manual available if you should need it, post your email address.
I've noticed that washers don't always empty all the water out of them and therefor can get smelly. I'd suggest putting in about a cup of bleach in water and putting in on a short rinse cycle, but then lit it sit for a while. In the future when you are done with a "wash" leave the washer open so that it can dry out. Otherwise you are trapping moisture in ther.
it isnt the door lock or it would not work on the first 2 spin cycles and unless you have huge out of balance loads the door(not lid as lids are only on top loaders) interlock probably isn't at fault. i would cleanout the tub to pump trap inspect the pump for blockage and flush the discharge hose. it doesn't cost a penny to do this and has fixed many front loaders with the same problem
first make sure there is power to the outlet if it is agfi outlet push the reset button if it clicks its working but inany case plug something in to the same prongs that you know works(eg; lamp,radio,etc to make sure it is working. If it doesn't work go to the circuit breaker and look for a breaker that is not in the on position and turn it off the turn it on to reset it. If the outlet works,check the power cord for cuts fraying or any signs of damage and replace it if it is damaged. if the cord looks fine, check tho door switch(usually a pressure switch that must be fully depressed for the machine to start working. also is ther a power light on the unit? is it a top load or front load? what brand and model # is it?
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter- so many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motorfilter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play. It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
