Good Afternoon Patricia, thank you for allowing me to assist you! Often when a washer does not shut off, it is because it is either experiencing a communication error with the control board or the unit has a faulty timer. Before replacing parts, I would first recommend resetting power to the unit for about 30 seconds. If the issue persists, it is advisable to contact an appliance repair tech to accurately diagnose and make the appropriate repairs.

Make sure that you don't over load the washer. As it starts to spin back and forth it is sensing the load balance as the clothes fall back and forth. If it doesn't sense a balanced load because the clothes can't fall back and forth it will not start the wash process. Refuse your load and try again.

Good Morning Donna, I am happy to assist you! Often when a washer is leaking through the front of the door is due either to a damage tub or a poor door sealed. Therefore, as the tub spins, the centrifugal force is driving the water up the sides of the tub to the front of the door. At this point, I would recommend having a service technician to diagnose the problem before investing in unnecessary parts. Best regards!

Good Morning Neil, thank you for your post! Typically, error code E11 indicates that the water fill time is too long. This could be due to a faulty valve, clogged valve filters, kinked inlet hoses, or low water pressure supplied to unit. Also, if the drain hose is installed too deep into the house drain pipe the water may syphon as it fills. At this point, I would recommend having a service technician to diagnose the problem before investing in unnecessary parts.

Possible that the starter is dirty not working. You can find this on the side of the compressor unit. Remove the mains power and check the wiring to the fridge, check the circuit as normally shown on the backside of the fridge. You can find the circuit breaker/starter, remove and clean

Hi Ricky, I am happy to assist you! If you are receiving an error code E41, your loading door may be ajar. Double-check to ensure that it is closed. If it is secure, reset the power to your appliance for about 30 seconds. You can do this by unplugging the unit or flipping your circuit breaker into the off position. If the error persists, it could either be the door switch assembly or your unit's main control board. In that case, a certified technician would generally replace the faulty part after proper diagnosis.

Hello Kerri, thank you for your inquiry! First, if the bellows is not centered it is highly recommended to get that repair. If you are getting an error code E23, it usually means one of three things: your drain pump relay has failed, a wire may be disconnected from the pump, or your main control board needs replacing. One of the best ways to determine if this is a false error code is to reset the power to the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker for about 30 seconds. If the error code persists, it would be advisable to contact an experienced appliance repair tech to assist further. Best regards!

Good Morning Kat, thank you for your question! First, what error code does your washer displayed? Meanwhile, one of the best ways to determine if your appliance has a false error code is to reset the power to the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker. It is important to wait roughly ten minutes and then turn on the unit. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to inform me if the error code does not clear so I may advise you the meaning of the error code and/or possibilities of the issue the unit could be experiencing. Thank you and best of luck!

Hi Tim! Thanks for posting your concerns online. Though it is hard to diagnose the unit without any flashing lights or alpha-numeric error codes being displayed, I would suggest to reset the unit at the power source for no less than five minutes. If the unit still has issues completing a full cycle correctly I would recommend having a professional technician assess the unit. Depending on his/her findings, you may have a faulty control board, wiring harness connection or unit timer.

IF it is turning free when you use the wrench then the problem is the motor is not getting electricity (check the breaker on the bottom near the point you put in the wrench) or the house breaker.

Hi Jamie, thank you for your inquiry! It seems like you are referring to the shipping material. This consists of 4 shipping bolts, 4 spacers, 1 metal "P" clamp, and 2 hose clips. Yes, according to the installation manual for the model number posted above, GLTF2940ES, this material must be removed. I have attached the Installation Instructions on how to do so. I hope this information helps to some degree. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to reconnect.

Hello Paula, thank you for your post. I understand that the washer is not properly draining the water. The issue may be related to a clogged drainage hose/pump and needs to be cleaned. Otherwise, the appliance may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. In this case, I would recommend connecting with an experienced technician to determine the underlying cause to properly diagnose and repair the unit. Should you need further assistance you can go to the manufacturer website to find a service provider in near you. If there is anything else that I can help you with, please feel free to reconnect!

Hi Grace, thank you for allowing me to assist you. Regrettably, an error code E58 could mean a number of issues, but primarily that the motor is overheating or a higher-than-usual motor current caused by other issues. Typically, an experienced technician would remove the belt to check the motor and motor pulley to ensure all is in working order first. Their next step would be to check the tub pulley and tub bearings. Last items they would examine would be the drive motor and speed control board by ohm measurement. Once the tech has ruled out a number of possibilities, he or she can pinpoint the exact problem and the necessary part to fix the issue. Since parts can often be quite costly, I would personally recommend reaching out to a qualified tech who can accurately diagnose the issue your unit is experiencing.

Hello William, I highly recommended to fully installed and connect the washer properly to accurately determine if the unit will spin or not. Once that is done, and the issue persists, often it is because the unit cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does the unit make a humming noise? If so, the drainage hose/pump may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. If not, the washer may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.

Good Morning Aaron - Based on the symptoms you are describing and if you are receiving an error code E40, your loading door may be ajar. Double-check to ensure that it is closed. If it is secure, reset the power to your appliance for about 30 seconds. You can do this by unplugging the unit or flipping your circuit breaker into the off position. If the error persists, it could either be the door switch assembly or your unit's main control board. In that case, a certified technician would generally replace the faulty part after proper diagnosis.
