I had the same issue and the culprit was a broken wire on the capacitor, located on the bottom side of the washer unit. There is a red wire and a blue wire, just give one a little tug and see if it is loose or broken. Just be careful with bare hands, always disconnect power and be aware that capacitors retain energy for some time. If you are not familiar with mechanics/electricity, I suggest getting a handyman. If a wire is broken or loose, just re crimp and ops check as normal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’ve had nothing but problems since I bought this machine. Have had for one year, took 2 repairmen 6 months to rebuild the machines guts. Now it’s doing the blinking light not spinning clothes out properly even when balanced. Of course out of warranty. Worst washing machine I’ve ever bought.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An unbalanced load has always been the cause of my spin light blinking. If your not sure what’s going on, just hide out in the laundry room with a book or bon bons for a load, you are sure to catch the light indicators then! Remember if the “Deep Rinse” option is chosen he machine will spin at an accelerated rate. So, check that and balance!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi - Thanks for choosing GE! We are happy to provide assistance. If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle. Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best results, load items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads. Also, make sure the washer is level.
