My machine refused to drain. I removed the hose and the pump. Notice some grit under the washer gave it a good rinse, as well as the hose, and now it's working just fine. Gotta love TH-cam. Thanks for your help
Barton, after scrambling trying to find an appliance guy, no one would come out. I watched your two minute video and I'll be damned but I had the same exact problem. My 18 Year old son's sock! Easy Peezy! So thanks for the video.
I had the same problem, agitating / washing but not spinning and not draining. After watching this video, I looked at my pump and found the impellor was not spinning freely and the induction block was super hot. Took the pump assembly off the drum, then opened the housing and pulled out the impeller assembly. There was a bunch of gritty stuff preventing the impeller from turning. Rinsed it out in water until it spun freely and put it all back together. Now it is working! Thanks for the help!
gonna sound like another "same here" but honestly, SAME HERE. Washer was not draining. Was about to buy an $85 pump, and decided to check more videos and found yours. Low and behold, wife's sneaker lace trapped in the pump motor! Got it out and works like a charm. Thanks so much for this 2 min video. Probably rates out at thousands of dollars per hour!
Found a sock in my pump too. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks for taking the time to post a video. You saved my bacon. I thought I was going to be with out a washer for days while waiting for a part or a repair man.
THANK YOU. SIMPLE. TO THE POINT AND NOT OVER EXPLAINED. I've learned every dann code error and all inbetween. I just needed to know exactly WHERE to look. So again. Ty, life saver to a house full of stinky boys!
Thank you so much for this!!! We bought this washer refurbished almost 2 yrs ago and i was so upset when it wasnt working last night. Was able to easily fix it with this video 😊
Thanks for the video! Saved us a couple hundred on a new washer. Same thing my 4 year old sick was stuck on the pump only difference was the location of the pump was on the bottom of the washer
I truly appreciate this video because I was able to figure it out tonight. We had found the rest of the belt that goes under the tumbler lid as it had snapped a couple months back. Finally replaced the top with a new cover which also included the rubber seal and vuala !! Washer machine is fixed.
Thsnk you!!!! Between one wash and the next, washer had a humming sound but wouldn't spin or drain. Looked for this first. Just pulled a sock out of the pump on our GE washer. Working now! Best clue was the humming sound. Socks to be washed in net bag from now on.
Thank you! The wet/dry vac was brilliant. Turns out like a few others mine was sand/ grit ,but because of your video I got it cleaned out and it’s working great. Thanks again! You rock!
While there was no sock there was some grit that was preventing the impeller from turning. After cleaning the pump and hoses out it all works well! thanks!
I see we all had the same issue with this model 😂 thank you for the video. I actually used the shop vac before finding this video and needed the next steps. Appreciate it 👍🏿
I have a different model so a little longer than 2 min. Washer quit exhibiting the exact systems symptoms you described, unloaded and I was missing a footie. Thanks for the video got me pointed in the right direction.
Thank you for sharing. I have this exact washer machine and nothing but issues. I'm going to check the pump to see if anything is stuck in there. I wonder if it's the missing sock I've been looking for...
Y’all, it works! Mine had sand from the lake stuck where it spins the water out into the water hose, I took it apart and cleaned it. It was such a tiny Little Rock stopping it from spinning and draining.
Thank you very much! I went out to get my clothes only to find out the washer was full of water. I have three dogs and a lot of dog hair... I’m guessing mine is clogged as well. Off to look...👍
Nice save! I guess that plastic bottle is better than half a loaf of Wonder bread but not in my tool belt. Rumor has it that this is where most socks escape to in these modern times. I know some of you are saying the dryer enables this sort of behavior but No! It's the washer most every time.
If you’ll the front panel off, I found a helpful diagnostic chart in a pouch. You can find error codes and operate the pumps and agitator to test them as well as other things. Mine was full of water so I used this chart to drain the tub. Of course a sock in the drain is a whole different issue
Thank you for posting this. I'm going to be looking under our washing machine. I was just saying the other day why are these pipes so high up in the wall for the water to drain? I may be cutting a hole in the wall too 😂
Here's how it got in there. You should put a handful of clothes at a time into the tub. If you just dump the basket into the tub, it allows for the possibility of a piece of clothing to slide down the side.
I was thinking my washer had something stuck in the pump as well cause it will not spin nor drain. I removed the pump and inspected it for a sock or piece of clothing and it's clear. Still having the issue does not spin nor drain all I hear is humming while in drain mode ???
@@brittneycahill6497 Found the problem. The washer was unleveled so I moved it and it began to spin and drain properly 🤦🙂 What happened was the floor buckled underneath the washer and got it unleveled. Hope this helps someone. 🙏🙂
How do I drain the excess water that sits in the bottom of the machine not in the big basket where the clothes go but that access water that stays on the very bottom after it shuts off thank you very much for this video.
hmmm... well... currently, as i'm watching this video i'm having the same exact issue.. and the load happens to be of my 3 year old's clothes - socks included. Cheers!
Three year on....He is now 6......has he ever told you how he found the time to get behind the machine and stuff his sock in there? I'm guessing there could of been an accomplis. I say break this file back out and go over the interviews that were done with the family dog. There could be something there. tHanks for the video!
I’ll definitely try this once my back stops hurting from the first time I tried to mess with the washer. I don’t need no man to do it for me but at least I have one solution to my problem.
My model is GTW500ASN0WS, serial LR999206G, and I’m probably looking at electrical damage underneath from a basement flooded and got a foot tall of water that affected the bottom part of the washer. I’m trying to figure out would need to be replaced? I opened and closed the lids six times I unplugged the machine for a minute, I press the buttons for the wash cycle it makes a noise, but then it does not show the fill button light, gyrates for a second, and does not jet water out and then makes the finish button noise three minutes later
This is not my issue, it is stupid other things with this piece of crap washer since day one. I am going to take a hammer to it soon. My guy looked at all of it, no socks or other. I hate this washer out with it for me.
what if it has water in it ? mine has water in it because i was washing it and it stopped working and my clothes is in there with all the water can i still do this ? would the water come out if i do this?
Livong dangerously lol. To rwmove the water.... I just blew into the output pipe and and then just collect water 😅. Just like of you were syphoming fuel.
Your vid might be 4 yrs old but it still helps no doubt. Also nice to hear a fellow country boah with a strong accent. Good job 💪. Much appreciated.

Wow! Out of all the videos, this was the one that helped me find the exact problem. (My toddler's sock)Straight to the point! 👍
Just removed my daughters small sock lmao
Overloading is reason, , causes small items to pass over and around the drum.
Found a sock in my pump too. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks for taking the time to post a video. You saved my bacon. I thought I was going to be with out a washer for days while waiting for a part or a repair man.
He knew you're Jew-ish and probably wouldn't be eating it. 😉

Thsnk you!!!! Between one wash and the next, washer had a humming sound but wouldn't spin or drain. Looked for this first. Just pulled a sock out of the pump on our GE washer. Working now! Best clue was the humming sound. Socks to be washed in net bag from now on.
Thanks SO MUCH! Yours is the only video that showed me where the pump is located on the newer GE washers. This definitely fixed my issue. 😊
Thank you! The wet/dry vac was brilliant. Turns out like a few others mine was sand/ grit ,but because of your video I got it cleaned out and it’s working great. Thanks again! You rock!
While there was no sock there was some grit that was preventing the impeller from turning. After cleaning the pump and hoses out it all works well! thanks!
Thank you so much!!!! You save me $300 dollars . I had the same issue. With your guidance I was able to fix it.
Yesssss thank you so much !!!! That water was stuck in there For a month Today i Decided i Will Fix It Myself ! Thank you for This Video
I see we all had the same issue with this model 😂 thank you for the video. I actually used the shop vac before finding this video and needed the next steps. Appreciate it 👍🏿
Kids always causing us havoc … directly or indirectly 🤣
I have a different model so a little longer than 2 min. Washer quit exhibiting the exact systems symptoms you described, unloaded and I was missing a footie. Thanks for the video got me pointed in the right direction.
Gaved a try and it was actually my old ass socks 🧦 on the pump. You are the greatest bro
Another sock found... Thanks, your post saved me a new pump purchase!
Thank you for sharing. I have this exact washer machine and nothing but issues. I'm going to check the pump to see if anything is stuck in there. I wonder if it's the missing sock I've been looking for...
So, did you find anything in there? Or did you have another issue?
Thank you so much!! I almost gave up and tried this it was the same thing my kids sock lol…. You saved me lots of money and made my day!
Just for kicks we gave this a try and be damned our 3 year olds sock was also stuck! 😂 Thanks for the save!
Y’all, it works! Mine had sand from the lake stuck where it spins the water out into the water hose, I took it apart and cleaned it. It was such a tiny Little Rock stopping it from spinning and draining.
Thank you very much!
I went out to get my clothes only to find out the washer was full of water. I have three dogs and a lot of dog hair... I’m guessing mine is clogged as well. Off to look...👍
very helpful, I ended up removing pump, took it apart, and clean it, had to wash grit out of pump. thanks
Thank you so much. You saved my mother's day
Nice save! I guess that plastic bottle is better than half a loaf of Wonder bread but not in my tool belt. Rumor has it that this is where most socks escape to in these modern times. I know some of you are saying the dryer enables this sort of behavior but No! It's the washer most every time.
Same bro. My 2 year-olds sock no way I'm so glad I watched this video
This Did It! I appreciate you. Some damn cotton from my babies boppy pillow got logged inside after a wash and it ripped open 😅
If you’ll the front panel off, I found a helpful diagnostic chart in a pouch. You can find error codes and operate the pumps and agitator to test them as well as other things. Mine was full of water so I used this chart to drain the tub. Of course a sock in the drain is a whole different issue
Many thanks to you for saving me lots of money!!! Exactly what I needed to do!
According to another video this happens when you put clothes after filling it. The water level goes to high and small items are sucked over the brim.
I have problem I have seen machine I have problem with
Thanks for the tip I’ll start adding the clothing first.
Man, thank you ! That was the most concise vid . Simple .
I have the same exact one and it’s not draining!!!! I’m going to try this ugh
Thanks .. that was helpful to solve my problem 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for posting this. I'm going to be looking under our washing machine.
I was just saying the other day why are these pipes so high up in the wall for the water to drain?
I may be cutting a hole in the wall too 😂
Now we know what happens to missing socks
GE washers are trash. Didn't last 3 years. And used all of my warranty repair limit. Broke around every 8 months.
I feel your pain
6 months on mine going with speed queen
I think it's more of an user error mine works just fine. You guys are probably overloading them.
My grandma gave me her old GE. She died 4 years ago and had it forever. I’m 30 and it’s probably close to my age. It just stopped working.
I had mines for 12 years 😂
Thank you. That was the exact problem I had. All fix now.
it worked but now, it wont stop draining even when there is no water. Thanks for the help
My Exact Washer and Problem ! Thanks for the video! I see you knocked the bark off your hand ! Wear Gloves ! LOL !
Thanks. Had rock in mine. Saved me a lot of money!$$$
Thank you so much!! Pulled out my daughter's headband 😂🤦♀️
Here's how it got in there. You should put a handful of clothes at a time into the tub. If you just dump the basket into the tub, it allows for the possibility of a piece of clothing to slide down the side.
I’m gonna try this now. Thanks so much
I was thinking my washer had something stuck in the pump as well cause it will not spin nor drain. I removed the pump and inspected it for a sock or piece of clothing and it's clear. Still having the issue does not spin nor drain all I hear is humming while in drain mode ???
Same, any solutions?
@@brittneycahill6497 Found the problem. The washer was unleveled so I moved it and it began to spin and drain properly 🤦🙂
What happened was the floor buckled underneath the washer and got it unleveled. Hope this helps someone. 🙏🙂
ha ha ha never fails. better than a pbj in the old vhs.
Thanks for the tip also good job on the video straight to the point
If you find socks in your pump of any washer it is from overloading do smaller loads or get a netted bag to put little baby socks into.
How do I drain the excess water that sits in the bottom of the machine not in the big basket where the clothes go but that access water that stays on the very bottom after it shuts off thank you very much for this video.
Turn the water supply off and run the spin cycle again
I'm dealing with this right now hope it's a similar blockage
Thank you for sharing!❤️
hmmm... well... currently, as i'm watching this video i'm having the same exact issue.. and the load happens to be of my 3 year old's clothes - socks included.

Is that your filter there too? Was gonna clean and drain the filter but didn’t realize it be this tough to get to it
nice, you didn't have to replace your washer.
Thank you so much! Fixed it! 💪
How do you take of the inside and clean it, mind doing a video?
Fixed the pump but what about spinning?
Thank you saved me 80.0
How did you get the hose off the water pump!!! Mine won’t budge.
Squeeze the clamps with pliers. Check this out…
th-cam.com/video/5ETZGQwKB0Y/w-d-xo.html
Hi did u figure out how to remove it?
I’m trying to figure that out too!
Pliers, pinch the ring and wiggle it loose
You are so kind! thank you!

My goodness! Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you brother
Pretty sure the supposed supply chain issues of two years ago was to clear out an over supply of top loaders that nobody really wants anymore.
Exactly 💯 thank you
OMG!!!! Thank you sooo much.
Gotta love those babies 👶
Thanks fam
I'm try and see if that's what's wrong with mine it washes just won't drain or spend any homes just like you said
Has yours gotten stuck on sensing mode ? No water comes out
Ty for the tip!!
Ours wasn’t clogged! And this didnt work. 😢Any other ideas or suggestions? Maybe just a bad pump?
Thank you
Do you still answer questions on this video 🥹 the hose won’t come off my water pump lol
Wowwww!! Thanks 😊
Did you notice the Solenoid on the pump being hot
This is not my issue, it is stupid other things with this piece of crap washer since day one. I am going to take a hammer to it soon. My guy looked at all of it, no socks or other. I hate this washer out with it for me.
Sooo, that is where all of my soxs got to?
Lemme get this straight, the fix for a broken ge washer is to wash her?
Yes sir. Thanks
What size tool do I need for this
I just pulled my daughter’s sock out of the same place!!!
So obviously this is a common problem but how the hell!! Is a sock getting there??
How do you unhook it?
what if it has water in it ? mine has water in it because i was washing it and it stopped working and my clothes is in there with all the water can i still do this ? would the water come out if i do this?
Shop Vac
"000" Bear Shot will fix the MFER.
Thanks
Livong dangerously lol. To rwmove the water.... I just blew into the output pipe and and then just collect water 😅. Just like of you were syphoming fuel.
Mine doesn't even hum or try to start. Any ideas anyone
YOU NEVER SHOWED HOW TO GET THE DRAIN OFF 😭😭😭
So this is where the missing socks go
Overloading is the cause.
I went it to try this and on the way there saw the belt busted lol
