How do you reset a GE washer that won't spin?
For a GE WSM2700WEWWW laundry center washer that will not spin, we reset it by doing a simple power reset: unplug the unit (or switch the breaker off) for 1 minute, then restore power and try a Spin or Drain/Spin cycle. This clears many temporary control or cycle-interruption issues.
Reset steps (safe, quick checks)
- Turn the cycle knob to Off.
- Unplug the laundry center (or turn the breaker Off) for 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Set the washer to Drain/Spin (or Spin) and start it.
- If the tub is full of water, select a drain option first; a washer typically will not spin until it drains.
If it still will not spin: the most common causes
A “no spin” complaint is usually a drain problem, a lid switch issue, a drive system problem, or a timer/control problem.
- Unbalanced load: redistribute items; bulky loads can stop or slow spin.
- Drain restriction: check the drain hose for kinks or a clogged standpipe.
- Drive belt slipping/broken: inspect and replace if worn (common on stacked laundry centers). Consider the washer drive belt WH07X10009.
- Timer not advancing: if the washer stalls at the same point in the cycle, the laundry center washer timer WH12X10164 is a common suspect.
- Wiring issue: look for loose or damaged connections near the motor and timer; use a meter if you are comfortable testing.
Quick symptom guide
| What you see | What it usually points to | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Hums but will not spin | Belt slipping or motor not getting full power | Check belt condition and wiring |
| Drains slowly or not at all | Drain hose/standpipe restriction | Clear restriction, confirm strong drain flow |
| Stops with a wet load | Out-of-balance or timer/cycle interruption | Rebalance load, retry Drain/Spin |
| Always stops at same time | Timer/control issue | Check timer function and connections |
Why it matters
Running repeated cycles without fixing the cause can overheat the drive system, leave clothes soaking wet, and turn a simple belt or drain issue into a bigger repair.

What is the most common problem with a GE dryer?
The most common GE dryer problem is no heat or poor drying, and on a GE WSM2700WEWWW laundry center it is usually tied to restricted airflow (lint buildup) or a failed heating safety/control part such as a thermostat or thermal limiter.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Clean the lint screen completely and wash off any fabric softener film.
- Check the vent hose for kinks, crushing, or heavy lint buildup.
- Confirm strong airflow at the outside vent hood while the dryer runs.
- Try a timed dry cycle to rule out a cycle or timer setting issue.
- Listen for abnormal rubbing or thumping that points to drum support wear.
Common causes and the parts that often fix them
If airflow is good and the dryer still will not heat, these model-matched parts are common suspects:
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part for WSM2700WEWWW |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but no heat | Overheat protection opened | Dryer thermal limiter WE04X10094 |
| Overheats or cycles heat oddly | Temperature control | Thermostat WE4X757 |
| Loud squeal or scraping | Drum support/friction surface | Dryer drum front glide WE03X10007 |
| Thumping or rumble | Drum support point | Dryer drum ball hitch WE13X10011 |
| Long dry times | Airflow restriction | Venting and lint path cleaning |
Why airflow problems matter
Restricted venting makes the heater run hotter than designed. That increases dry time, can trigger safety devices, and can lead to repeat failures of heating controls (thermal limiter, thermostat) even after you replace a part.
Ordering the right replacement part
- Match the part to model WSM2700WEWWW before ordering.
- If your symptom is heat-related, start with the airflow checks, then test heat controls.
- You can order model-specific parts from the parts list for this laundry center, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.
