Our clothes are getting little holes in the garments. My wife says certain clothes are not put in the GE dryer. Appliances are less than 2 years old.

Hello and thank you for writing. Are you using a final spin speed in your washer that is too high for the type of fabric you are washing? Cotton clothes should not be spun higher than 600 revolutions per minute (sheets and towels can use a higher spin at 1400 revolutions per minute). Jeans should spin no higher than 900 revolutions per minute and delicates and silks should use a 400 revolutions per minute spin cycle. If you don't have your washer manual with this information, call the manufacturer or find one online. Spinning too rapidly can pull clothing into the tiny holes and crevices of the washer drum and cause fibers to wear and tear. Overloading the Washing Machine Are you overloading the washing machine? This not only affects the cleaning level of each cycle but can also cause garments to get hooked on zippers, decorations, and buttons on other clothing. Always zip, button, and fasten all clothing before washing and turn items inside out. Bra Underwires Are you missing an underwire from a bra? Underwires can get caught between the drum and the side of the washer and then poke through the washer drum holes. You may not feel it when the washer is empty but the agitation of the washer may cause the wire to snag clothing. To remove the wire, you'll have to remove the outer housing of the washer. We hope this information helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Would not drain the water from the tub.
Very simple to repair. Be sure to drain the tub outside or into the sump pump then lay the washer on its side. The pump is right there on the bottom of the basket with 3 bolts. You will also need to remove the belt cover to get to the plug. So simple and saves you hundreds off repair man prices.

Unit did not go into Spin/Drain cycle.
I thought it was the control board from the onset, but 'Online experts" said it was more likely the mode shifter or the lid lock. I ordered one of each, did not correct problem. Ordered the control board that was designated for this unit, it did not correct problem. Defective? Was send replacememnt, did not fix problem. Twice? Phone conversation with parts person, and after a little digging, it was NOT the correct board, correct board was not available.
Returned all parts, refunds all around. Ordered correct board from another site, installed, programed, SUCCESS! Total repair time/installation-less than 15 minutes. Getting the correct part 30 days.
