Product Suggestion: "GE GTW680BSJ2WS 'No Spin' DIY Repair Kit"

Contents:

1. Key Replacement Parts:
   • Lid Switch Assembly (WH08X32657 or equivalent): A frequent failure point that can prevent the spin cycle from working.
   • Shifter Assembly / Mode Shifter (WH05X25101 or equivalent): This part is crucial for switching between agitate and spin modes; if it fails, you might end up with no spin or a weak spin.
   • (Optional but Recommended Add-on) Drain Pump Assembly (WH23X28418 or equivalent): If the washer isn't draining properly, it often won't enter high-speed spin.
   • (Optional) Suspension Rod Kit (WH16X29059 or equivalent): While less likely to cause a "no spin at all" issue, worn suspension can lead to out-of-balance errors that stop the spin. It’s a good addition for a more thorough kit.
2. Comprehensive Repair Guide:
   • Model-Specific Troubleshooting Flowchart: To help you figure out if the problem is with the lid switch, shifter, drain pump, or something else.
