My GE Washer will not spin in the spin cycle.
The lid switch is working as there are other cycles that I can open the lid and it will stop operating, close and it begins again.
It does agitate.
I removed both ends of tub for water level switch. I can blow back into tube. I can blow and her click in switch. The switch also seems to work correctly filling at proper levels.
In rinse cycle I can see it agitate which demonstrates belt is working. The drum will move or spin about a foot a couple of times each way. I hear a loud click when it kicks in to grab the tube (if that is what you call it). It just never starts to spin fast all the way around.
I read something about reseting board by unplugging a minute and then after plug in open and close door 12 times real fast. Seemed to have no effect. The green light over motor flashes constant fairly quickly.

It sounds like the spin solenoid, but you will have to test it with a meter. Here are the manuals you will need: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/GE%20Washer%20and%20Dryer%20Manuals.zip

Me and a buddy tried to find the spin solenoid. Can not find it. Wonder if have one. I need to add some additional information in case my model newer or something.

Model number is WJRE555OK2WW

The water level switch seems to work in relation to water levels however it seems like nothing is telling the machine that the water is all pumped out. The water pump that pumps the water out keeps running. Then it will agitate for a short time the you hear the click for the tub being engage but it will not move much. Then the process will repeat. The whole time it is still trying to pump water out.

Look at the schematic on the machine and see if you see it noted there. The water level switch should tell it that the water is out. Check the schematic well.
