GE washer not draining is typically caused by clogged drain pump filter or failed drain pump. GE-specific factor: drain pump filter access panel hidden behind lower front cover — owners do not know it exists. Repair costs $100-$300 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Sacramento GE washer drain pump failures correlate with mineral-laden water clogging the pump filter more rapidly. Detergent residue combines with calcium deposits to form a paste-like buildup in the pressure switch tube, causing the machine to think the tub is empty when it is full. Quarterly maintenance with a washer cleaning cycle extends drain system life significantly.
Locate drain pump access: front-loaders have a hidden panel at the lower front — pop off with flathead screwdriver, twist filter cap counterclockwise
Clean pump filter and check impeller rotation — should spin freely by hand with slight resistance from magnets
Blow through pressure switch tube (disconnect at tub connection) — any resistance means cleaning with warm water or replacement
Test drain pump motor electrically: disconnect connector, measure across terminals — should read 5-15 ohms; open circuit means failed motor
The technician shows the homeowner where the hidden drain pump filter is located and cleans it — this resolves about half of GE drain complaints. If the pump motor is burnt out, it is replaced from the front or bottom of the unit depending on the model. GE uses a modular pump assembly that takes 30-40 minutes to swap. The technician also checks and cleans the pressure switch tube to prevent false water level readings.
