GE Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your GE washer leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be reaching the proper spin speed. The most likely cause is a worn clutch, which prevents the tub from spinning effectively. Next, inspect the drive belt for damage, looseness, or separation from the pulleys. A worn clutch band kit can cause the same problem on applicable top load models. If those parts check out, inspect the basket drive for stripped spin tube tabs, a damaged drive block, or worn clutch pads. A worn hub can also fail to engage the inner tub, leaving the washer not spinning out water. Finally, a defective motor control board may not provide power to the drive motor. These failures can cause a washer not spinning, washing machine clothes still wet, or washer clothes wet at end of cycle symptom. Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing parts. Enter your GE washer's model number to find the exact replacement clutch, belt, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific washing machine.

04 - GE Washing Machine Basket Drive
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
Common
05 - GE Washing Machine Hub
The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Common
06 - GE Washing Machine Motor Control Board
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
