Got used to the quirks and like the options but now three months of use and im having a lid lock issue. The l e d light flashes and will not start. Have warranty call coming. Can not recommend this machine now
That's a bummer! The whole lid lock concept is weird to me- I wonder if it is about keeping people from looking in and seeing what is going on or NOT going on when the washer is operating. I'm glad it's possible to bypass the lid lock. I hope you get yours up and running again. Thanks for the comment!
Seems to be a control board issue. I managed to get my fingers to where the switch toggles ( lid was unlocked not like the flashing led indicated) and went back and forth with it and between unplugging and re trying I managed to get it started. I'm thinking that the motherboard can't tell if the switch is closed or open. I know it will go down again, so I haven't canceled the warranty appt. Bought the extended warranty just now too. This machine does a nice job of washing clothes and I'd like to get some years out of this thing. Thanks for the reply and hope you have good luck
I have same model of washer machine and I have a lot of problems with it. I fixed 5 different issues and now starts with a other problem.
That's awful!! Mine has been just fine from day 1- I hope you get some answers from GE .. Thanx for the comment and I hope it all gets resolved soon!
