Thanks so much for the info..I myself didn’t know this filter existed either..Definitely should be in the manual, although I assume this is how they make their money on service calls. I would love to go to someones house and do this easy fix for $100+ dollars. Well I found much change too as well as those color guard sheets, which seemed to be my problem of plugging. Thanks a million!!!

I just called big appliance service company about 2 hours ago. they wanted to charge me $125 per visit plus parts…then, I googled and found this site and followed the post. I just saved a bundle and found $2.51 as well. many thanks. my washer is 5 years old this is the first time i cleaned the filter…

My lint trap didn’t have much in it, a penny and a button, but just up inside the pipe was a 3″ swag hook. Still, it wasn’t enough to stop the flow. It turns out that one of those cable ties made it all the way to the impeller inside the pump and stopped it. Start by taking off both hoses on the other side of the lint trap connected to the lint trap/pump manifold. There is a large black one and smaller gray one. Undo the two electrical connections on the far right and top of the pump. Mark the black connect point with a Sharpie or tape to ensure you put the leads back on the same way. The pump/manifold assembly is held down on the base by 2 screws. The one on the left is easy to see but the one on the right you’ll have to feel for. Once the screws are out you can push the assembly away from yourself toward the back of the washer to free the little nubs that insert into the front bracket. At that point you can maneuver it out of the washer toward the left. Undo the 3 screws that hold the pump to the manifold and it will easily separate. The impeller will now be visible. Anything large enough to impede its movement should be easy to see. It’s possible that something could get past it but I didn’t have to go any farther than I did. Clean up the o ring and seats before reassembling. Why not clean up anything you can while you have it apart? It smelled like stagnant water in mine. Good luck!

What do I do if this doesn’t fix it.. ?
I can hear the pump straining to start.. I tap it with a screwdriver
and it would start.. now it doesn’t start anymore..
Can I pretty much assume that it’s a new pump that is needed?
Is it hard to change? thanks Dwight in New Orleans

yep, thanks again, several years later. Only wish that a) I had googled “GE adora won’t drain” sooner and b) GE had included these instructions in the user manual. Would’ve saved me some time for sure…I took apart the drain and drain pipe in the back before resorting to an internet search. Oh well, still so glad to have found this and to now have a working washer again.
