My Ge Is Going Crazy!
My GE WCHVH6800JMS is going haywire. Background: I was washing a load when I heard a loud noise as when the load is unbalanced. So I went to pause it to move the clothes to balance the load when I noticed that the seal boot was totally bent out of shape. When I restarted the wash, it would pause every five minutes and I had to manually restart it. When it spinned it would go faster than usual. On subsequent washes, I noticed that that timer would go back on a cycle. Let's say that it was on 9 and then it would go back to 13. Now it doesn't spin either. The drum turns a bit only in the beginning when the load is dry. Then it doesn't turn after that Although it sounds as if it is. Please help!
