GE Washing Machine Won’t Agitate Clothes — Possible Agitator or Drive Motor Problems
A GE washing machine can fill with water and drain normally while still failing to clean clothes properly. If the agitator isn’t moving during the wash cycle, the problem may be connected to the agitator, drive motor, belt, coupling, or another component in the washer’s drive system. Watch for symptoms such as clicking, grinding, humming, weak agitation, or a motor that runs without moving the agitator. These signs can help identify the problem, but several failed components can produce similar symptoms.
Instead of replacing parts based on guesswork, have the washer properly inspected. A technician can test the drive system and determine which component needs attention.
