 Have you looked inside the control panel for the wiring diagram?  That's usually where they live.  If it's not there, you can call GE, press "1" for English and wait about 42 minutes on hold for the privilege of paying $11 to have them fax or mail you one because, hey, GE Cares:  1-800-GECARES.

I recommend opening the control panel and see if yours is equipped with a line fuse.  O happy day for you if it is!  You can just replace the fuse and you're good to go.  But, remember, this is GE, and they care, they really do care about helping you spend excessive amounts of money on substandard parts.  So chances are that your washer does not have a line fuse and that one or more of the infernal electronic control boards is burned out.  If this is the case, and you should confirm this yourself, then the washer is junk.  Well, actually it was junk the day it was made, but that's another story for another time. 

Samurai's 3rd Law of Appliance Repair holds that, "Electronics and wet appliances do not mix."  One of the big lessons you should take away from this is to avoid any wet appliance that uses electronics for the user controls.  They're getting increasingly hard to find but they're out there. 

Now, go ye forth and make disciples of all nations.
