Why are clothes too wet after washing in my GE GFW148 Washer?
- M
  Melissa WilliamsSep 3, 2025
  If your GE Washer leaves clothes too wet, it might be due to an unbalanced load. Try redistributing the clothes and running a Rinse+Spin cycle. A clogged pump filter could also be the cause; check the Care and Cleaning section for cleaning instructions. Avoid overloading the washer, ensuring clothes have room to move freely. Inspect the drain hose for kinks or improper connections, making sure the washer isn't sitting on it. A clogged household drain may also be the problem, possibly needing a plumber's attention. Lastly, ensure an air gap between the drain hose and the drain to prevent siphoning.

How to fix a GE GFW148 Washer that has no power?
- R
  Robert RileyAug 31, 2025
  If your GE Washer has no power or isn't working, first ensure the cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that both hot and cold water supplies are fully turned on. Also, check your house's circuit breakers or fuses, replacing any blown fuses or resetting tripped breakers. Remember that the washer should have a separate outlet. If it's the first time plugging in the washer, allow up to 20 seconds for the automatic system checks to complete.

Why is there not enough water in my GE Washer?

  Horizontal washers do not require the tub to fill with water like top-load washers, so this is normal.

Why does my GE Washer door unlock or machine doesn’t operate when I press Start?

  Front-load washers start up differently than top-load washers, and it takes several seconds to check the system. The door will lock and unlock. If this is not the case, simply open and close the door firmly, then press Start.

  Several factors can cause this issue. The load might be unbalanced; try redistributing the clothes and running a Rinse+Spin cycle. If washing a small load with heavy and light items, increase the load size. The pump filter could be clogged, or the drain hose might be kinked or improperly connected. Straighten the drain hose and ensure the washer isn't sitting on it. The household drain may also be clogged, or the drain hose may be siphoning.

Why is the dispenser drawer in my GE GFW148 Washer not dispensing properly?

  If the dispenser drawer in your GE Washer isn't dispensing properly, it's likely because a laundry detergent packet was placed in the dispenser drawer. Laundry detergent packets should only be added directly to the wash tub following the manufacturer's directions.
