The most common problem is the lid switch. On the lid, underneath side, there is or should be a small plastic pin sticking out about 1/2 inch. When the lid is closed the pin pushes down a micro switch that lets the basket spin. It's a safety feature so someone doesn't reach into a spinning washer. Sometimes the pin breaks or falls off, or the switch is bad. It should be held on with a screw on the edge of the rim. It just has two wires and is very easy to get to and replace.

My GE washing machine does not wring my clothes dry enough what do i need to do? The spin cycle is not working well. You can try running the spin cycle a second time. Also, make sure that you have not overfilled the machine. In my experience, this is the main reason for replacing an older machine.
