Question Timer buzzing constantly
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: S3600D0WW
Age: 1 - 4 years

My GE washer (model S3600D0WW) will not fill with water or spin. When starting cycle it immediately starts agitating, but not filling with water. When putting it on spin, it will drain but not spin. Even when turned off, the timer makes a constant buzzing or clicking noise. The only way to stop the buzzing is to unplug the washer. When on, the washer will cycle through but continue on to the next cycle and not stop at the end of the current cycle (i.e. cotton, delicates, etc). I suspected it was the timer and replaced it, but continue to have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any help provided!

It sound like the pressure switch is stuck in the full position.

This is way the water will not come in and the washer will agitate with no water.

Here is a link to your washer model S3600D0WW.

Here is the pressure switch.

Talking Thanks!

That did it. I unhooked the hose from the pressure swich and blew in it. I was able to blow air through the tube. I then blew in the pressure switch and heard it clicking. I hooked everything back up and it is working great. Something was apparently stuck in the tube, or the switch was stuck. Thanks for your help!
