"We bought a new high efficiency GE washer in May 2006. *It has worked fine
until today. *When my wife started a load of wash last nite, it started
working and we thought everything was fine. *This morning, the power button
does not work, the door is locked and the wash and water are in the machine.
We tried unplugging the washer. *We tried resetting the circuit breaker( it
was not tripped). *Any help would be appreciated as we called a repair guy,
but they can not come out until Monday. *We are leaving this evening for the
weekend. *Thanks in advance."

I'll pass along any suggestions.

Thanks.

DAGS for the manual. You may need to remove the top panel or bottom
skirt and manually release to door latch to at least empty the washer
before you go away.
