Was the pump submerged or otherwise well-soaked? That would probably do it.
There are some videos on youtube on how to clear gunk out of the hose for the water-level pressure switch, it's really easy, but I would question whether that was the issue here. But, totally worth it since it's easy and costs nothing.
Even for non-GE washers, this is relevant and should be easy to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oosLzA9duzE
And in that video, he replaces it, but you really only have to disconnect the hose at the bottom, and use some kind of slim tool to scoop out the soapy lint.

Might give this a try first, thanks. It wasn't submerged, but the water was staying at the back of the washer for days so I would be surprised if waster didn't make its way in.

I should have been more clear, too. It is a common issue where that tube gets clogged, and the washer can't tell if there is water in the tub, so shuts down, leaves the tub full, and won't spin or drain. I replaced my washer recently, but I had to do the clearing of this tube maybe four times over the years. Again, I don't think it's likely here, but worth a shot. You may even see something when the washer is open.
