Why my ge tl1103pbyn washer is not draining when it reaches the step where it should drain? I have to use the function knob and select spin inorder to get it drain

When the washer fills, the basket floats allowing it to engage to the wash mode, when the washer drains the basket needs to drop back down inorder to engage to the spin mode. Pleazer Appliance...

remove the drain hose at the back of the washer and check that the filter is not blocked.

If the timer advances normally thru the spin and drain steps of the cycle you selected, than the problem that would cause neither spinning or draining, is the wash motor is not reversing. The motors is a two direction motor. It spins clockwise for normal agitation, but counterclockwise to engage the wash drum clutch and operate the drain pump. I would ask you to check for motor sounds at all during the spin and drain cycles. The pump reversing in the spin or drain cycles can be a function of the machine's lid safety switch, or if not the motor switch or timer contacts. The lid switch is first thing to check here, for sure! If the machine seems to stop running when it comes time to drain or spin, the lid switch is your best bet!

Hope this helps.

You have what is called "agitating dogs" there are usually 4 of them at the bottom of the agitator. They have small grippers which lock onto the agitator and agitates. If the washer is ever overfilled or over time filled to heavy this will wear down the nylon teeth on the "dogs". The top of the agitator will spin off, you will see a bolt inside at the bottom, remove bolt and the agitator will pull out. Google "agitating dogs on washer. It will give you pictures for a better understanding. If the belt was broken the washer would not drain, because the belt turns the pump. These dogs are about $5 and honestly easy to install. Good Luck.

the dryer won't heat up. everything else works. the drum goes around with clothes in it. it just won't heat up .

most of the time it is the door switch that gets damage when the door slams. if its only fill with water but not turning then it is defently the door switch.

there are contacts inside timer which may not be working properly. in any case they are not repairable.

it sounds like a bad timer there....! if after you selected a different load it drained......!

if it didnt drain at all on any mode I would say a bad lid swtich.

Unplug machine. Change load type to medium. Clean door sensor. Set knob to drain and spin. Plug machine back in to powr. Open and close door 10 times in 15 seconds. Pull knob to activate drain and spin.

my GE washer does not spin out all the time on final spin
