Why is there not enough water in my GE GFW550?

Horizontal washers, like your GE Washer, do not require the tub to fill with water like top-load washers. This is normal.

How to stop loud noise, vibration, or shaking in GE GFW550 Washer?
If your GE Washer is making loud or unusual noises, vibrating, or shaking, note that the washer is designed to move slightly (about 1/4 inch) to reduce forces on the floor, which is normal. Ensure all rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor; adjust them if the washer is uneven and lock them in place. An unbalanced load can also cause this; pause the unit, redistribute the load manually, and run a rinse and spin cycle without a load to check the machine. A clogged pump filter may also be the problem; refer to the Care and Cleaning section.
