If your GE GFW650 front-load washer is skipping directly to the end of the cycle without spinning the clothes dry, there are a few possible causes that you can investigate: 1. Unbalanced Load: If the load of laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum, the washer may not be able to balance it properly during the spin cycle. This can cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Try rearranging the clothes in the washer and restarting the cycle. 2. Blocked Drainage: If the washer is unable to drain water from the drum, it may skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Check for any blockages in the drainage system, such as a clogged drain hose or filter. Clean or replace any blocked components. 3. Faulty Motor: If the motor that drives the spin cycle is malfunctioning, it may cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. This is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair. 4. Malfunctioning Control Board: If the washer's control board is malfunctioning, it may not be able to properly control the spin cycle. This can cause the washer to skip the spin cycle and go directly to the end. Again, this is a more serious issue that may require a professional repair.
If none of these solutions work, or if you are uncomfortable performing any of the troubleshooting steps, it may be best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

The timer will always advance to the next program if the machine does not fully drain. There is ALWAYS a spin when draining the water out, there is only one pump and one motor. The waterlogged laundry maybe telling the timer that there is still water in the tub. Put the machine on "Spin" and cheat the lid switch into thinking that the lid is closed. Use a clothes peg or wide ended screwdriver and see if there really is a spin....
just add another drain and spin cycle and start it up again with the completion of the first cycle. Washing some items like sleeping bags takes forever because they are so darned absorbent and hold more water than a tiger's sieve of a bladder. Another drain and spin cycle should solve the problem.
There are different models withing this line by GE. There is one model that have a "Drain & Spin" cycle on the main cycle selection knob, but on the higher end models, you'll need to use the "Rinse & Spin" cycle.
This will add some water to the washer, but the basic cycle will give items a quick rinse and spin.
If you're trying to use just a spin cycle to wring out towels, etc. and you don't have the "Drain & Spin" cycle, (which you shouldn't based on your higher end model #), just use the "Rinse & Spin" cycle and it'll do a nice job of getting out a lot of moisture from your clothes, towels, etc.
I have this same washer in my own home and refreshed my memory by reading my manual (again) to see that this is what you need to do, to spin out stuff.
Inspect the drain hose for kinks Test the timer control Test the lid switch (some models) Inspect the water pump Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only) Inspect the motor coupler
If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine.
If it isn't spinning--and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®--you may have a broken coupler. Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small, relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. This plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. When that happens, you need to replace it completely.
Spin cycle
If the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too wet at the end of a cycle. Check to be sure the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®), or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Replace the applicable component.
Alternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. Read the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section. Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive train. Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
Siphoning
If the water that pumps from the machine goes right back into the machine after the spin cycle, it may be because your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub with a slow drain, back into the washer. Try to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is there something stuck in the drain?) Also, be sure the drain hose doesn't reach more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub. If it does, cut off the excess.
Water-inlet valve
Water-inlet valves eventually fail. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity is turned off to it. Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub--you may notice that your washer has water in it when you haven't used it for a few days. To fix this, replace the valve.
The cycle doesn't advance
When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
