The water level in the washer is not automatically adjusted anymore. Any idea what could be the problem?

We have a GE washer model GTAN5250DOWN. We purchased it in 2012. There is a PreciseFill feature to set automatically the water level in the washer. Since a year or two, this feature doesn't seem to work and the water level is always at the maximum. There is no overflow and everything works perfectly but the PreciseFill feature. This was working fine at least for the first 5 years of usage.

SOURCE: ge gsl25jfrfbs water disoenser not working

Solenoid or the dispenser switch.

The water supply line connects to a water valve on the Ref. this water valve has two solenoids, one for the ice maker and one for the water in the door. Check this solenoid with an OHM meter.

The dispenser switch should send 110 volts to the solenoid. Check at the solenoid while pushing the water switch in the door.

GE WPXH214ACC Washer drum makes loud noise when spinning sometimes. We've had it since 2005 & never had this happen before. Washer is level, must stop & redistribute clothes to correct. Just started happening now.

SOURCE: ge profile washer WPSR3100W1WW won't agitate

I see this pretty regular. You have a bad transmission. This is very common with the older GE's. To replace the transmission will run around $340 / $400. Not sure about your area. Just be glad you got this much use out of it, you are one of the very few that have. From 1998 till 2007 I owned my on repair company where I did GE's warranty work in my area for them. During that time period. When I found a GE washer under warranty doing what you are describing. GE would warranty the whole machine. They would have me destroy the machine after I would deliver the customer a band new one. GE knows they had a bad transmission and it cost them a lot of money. It was cheaper for them to replace the washer than have me repair it. The transmission list price was $298.00 back then. A word of advice, when you replace it. Buy a Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag. These brands hold up the best. I have the least service calls for Whirlpool and Kenmore. Both are made by the same people. Kenmore is made for Sears. Good Luck.

SOURCE: washer is won't spin

Hi just read your posting.Now from the information in your posting the machine is not draining.Is this correct?Now what I need you to do is to 1st remove all the clothes from the machine and bail out the water by hand with a small pot or bucket.Only bail enough water so it does not leak out when you lean it back against the wall.Now I need you to look under the machine ,Hence the reason for bailing some of the water out, and tell if your pump is the type with a red or black fan attached to it.The pump is located under the machine to the front right.If you have this type of pump turn the fan with your hand clockwise a few times then anticlockwise a few times.This is to loosen it up if the pump is blocked.If the pump frees up and you can turn the fan easily then put the machine back upright and select a spin cycle and push the start button.Please reply and and tell me how you got on or if your pump is the one without the fan,also reply back if it does not drain and you require more help.

Is there a way to adjust the water level on a GE stacked washer/dryer model GUD24? It only fills up with 1/3 of water and does not wash clothes completely. Thanks

Total nightmare this HF stuff. New GE GUD24 stackable and clothes come out dirtier than they go in. (Lint) And this sensor is so off, I singe queen set of sheets (Top, bottom, 2 pillow cases) even on 'Power Wash' with 'Deep Rinse,' - check near the end of the wash cycle the sheets are not completely wet! I was able to adjust the pressure sensor on my old unit but cant' find it on this one. Barely ranks to be called a colts washer.

I have a GE front load washer and it says "load sense", what does this mean? Model number GFWR4800F1WW

It means the washer makes an estimate of the size of the load, and can adjust the water level to suit, if you make that selection on the controls. Saves water use.

My Washing Machine is not spinning all the water out of my clothes.

Front loading washers are notorious for not spinning the water out of a small load of clothes. This is because there is not enough clothes in the washer to balance the tub during the spin cycle.

Try washing a slightly larger load with a minimum of six items or more. This is one of the downsides to front load models and no specific brand is immune to the problem.

What is the acuwash sensor

Washer temperature sensors and water level settings
The temperature of your washer's water varies with your laundry care needs. Standard washer models typically feature three temperature settings: Hot/Cold, Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold—and higher-end models often offer as many as six or seven temperature settings. Temperature plays a key role in the effectiveness of your detergent—pairing the right detergent with the right setting for your fabrics and soil is important, as this will help reduce damage, prevent detergent residue, and provide the best wash across fabric types. For the best fabric care, look for washing machines with automatic temperature control (ATC). A sensor will control water temperature and ensure cold washes are above 60 degrees (F) to dissolve detergents, and warm washes do not exceed 93 degrees (F) to help prevent shrinking and bleeding.

The amount of water you use for each load also affects washer performance. Doing laundry is a bit like a science project. You need to make sure you are using the right volume of water, with the proper amount of detergent based on the dirt level of the laundry being cleaned. Too much of one component can result in a less-than-perfect outcome. Standard washing machines allow you to select water levels for different size loads, but some models offer more water-level options. Washers with automatic water levels use sensors to determine load size and adjust water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance. You will generally find these options in higher-priced top-loading washers. A benefit of front-loading washing machines is that most come with this automatic water-leveling feature.

Whirlpool® AccuWash™ temperature control sensor provides a temperature-controlled wash.

GE Washer top-load WLDSR416FOWC

Actually, I think I do remember having one do this before, and I believe on these GE models the spin cycle goes through the water level switch, so if your water level switch is sticking, then it won't spin, thinking its still full of water.

Here's the water level pressure switch for your model:
