Lower right side. Hose between pump and outlet on back is restricted near the right side. Looks like it is made that way. This could be the reason the pump runs for 5 sections, then shut off for 5 section, over and over when draining. That could be the design, but normally you would put restrictions on the inlet if that is the reason for the design. Will call GE in the morning.

Hmmm...any idea when that change occurred? I've had nothing but GE
since the 60s and that's the first time I've seen one that the top
didn't lift up w/ the snappy clips and then the front came off w/ screws
from the inside....dryers as well.

I believe they've changed the drum, suspension and cabinet design roughly
around the same time in mid-90s. Was Profile 2000 the first to get the new
cabinet? I'm not too sure, but it's been like that for more than a decade
for certain. It's not a bad cabinet design - you can do quite a few things
in there by taking just the front off.
