Machine starts , agitates , and stops when it gets to the spin cycle. I manually empty the water from the drum by lowering the hose. With the machine still switched on, with about three 3 minutes of the cycle remaining , the spin cycle kicks in and empties the remainder of the water
SOURCE: Zanussi ZWD1680W Front Load All-in-One... Problem:
With the symptoms you describe i would suspect a intermittent heater element fault as you are getting earth leakage current which is tripping the whole supply rather than a current overload which would just trip the socket circuit breaker. Get the heating element checked over first as this is the most likely cause.

First, pressing cancel twice should clear the error code and it should restart when you press start. Then you can press cancel to stop the whole thing This should also unlock it. Unplugging it for a long while may also clear the code and unlock the door, not sure.
the F-9 says it is an overflow condition and may need to be serviced. The F-11 says there is a serial communication error.This might be the case if the pump is running overtime due to clogging.

To check if the filter is clogged, open the front panel, put a bucket in front of the unit, unseat the rubber feet holding in the white plug, pull the white plug out so when you unscrew it, any water will run into the bucket, then unscrew it and clean the filter. screw the filter back in, set the white plug back into the unit, being sure to secure it with the rubber feet.
As for it stopping, you may be filling it too heavy and the motor stopped if it over heated?

SOUNDS LIKE A PUMP HAS GONE BAD. REPLACE IT. IT WOULDN'T COST TOO MUCH.

Your motor/clutch combo is on the way out. The motor is overheating and turning off. Cools down and restarts.
You need a new motor/clutch combo or a new washer. I do not recommend another GE.

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.
First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

Enter your model number and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.
Following is the Whirlpool installation and maintenance PDF on how top load, direct drive washers work with a troubleshooting section.

Following is the Whirlpool parts list for commercial top load, direct drive washers although the consumer washers are basically the same.
The problem seems to point to the Agitate Cams in the transmission that raise and lower the Agitate gear on the main transmission shaft. These are relatively inexpensive to replace.
I'd also check the splines on the main agitator shaft and the two pronged "washer" on top of it.
