GE washer WHDRR418G0WW drum leaking. There's several spots where water is weeping through the bottom of the plastic drum. The squealing is from the belt slipping probably because it is wet. Good thing the motor is drip proof. Probably need to install a bilge pump.

  • Yah this thing did turn out to be a piece of junk. I paid nearly $500 for the thing and of course the leak wasn't really noticed until after the 1 year warranty was out. So I pitched this thing and got a Maytag.

  • I thought the system checked briefly to make sure it was in agitation BEFORE starting the motor

  • @ itscool|1069: As a former GE service tech, I can tell you it isn't the spin brake making this sound because this model doesn't have a transmission. It has what's called a mode shifter, and this washer runs off a DC induction motor. The squeal is due to the mode shifter being stuck in the spin mode while it is agitating (note the inner basket moving with the agitator; this isn't suppose to happen). You don't know how happy I am that I don't have to deal this this POS anymore.
