Could a failing Drain Pump Assembly cause the GE GFW550SSN to have symptom: Not Draining Water?

The drain pump is the primary electromechanical component responsible for water evacuation. It frequently fails when the internal magnetic rotor becomes de-synchronized or when foreign objects jam the impeller, causing the motor windings to overheat and fail. Replacement of the entire assembly restores the necessary torque to overcome head pressure in the drain line.

Could a failing Water Level Pressure Transducer cause the GE GFW550SSN to have symptom: Not Draining Water?

This sensor converts hydrostatic pressure in the tub into an electronic signal for the control board. If the sensor fails or the air chamber is fouled, the machine may not recognize that water is present or may fail to signal the drain pump to activate, resulting in a 'no drain' condition despite a functional pump.

Could a failing Drain Pump Filter Plug cause the GE GFW550SSN to have symptom: Not Draining Water?

The filter plug (coin trap) captures debris before it reaches the pump impeller. If this component is heavily fouled or the internal mesh is collapsed, it creates a physical bottleneck that prevents fluid flow. Replacing the plug is necessary if the gaskets have failed or if the plastic housing has sustained damage during debris removal.
