Why does the control time change on my GE Washer?
The control time on your GE Washer may change because the washer may need to rebalance the load during the spin cycle to reduce vibrations. When this happens, the estimated time is increased, causing the time left to increase or jump. This is normal operation.
How to stop loud noise, vibration, or shaking in GE GFW650 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.

If your GE washer leaves clothes too wet, it may be due to an unbalanced load. Redistribute the clothes and run a Rinse & Spin cycle. The pump filter may be clogged.

Why are my clothes grayed or yellowed after washing in my GE GFW650 Washer?
To address grayed or yellowed clothes from your GE Washer, use the correct amount of detergent, and ensure it is HE (high efficiency) detergent. If you have hard water, use the hottest water safe for the fabric. Make sure your water heater is delivering water at 120°–140°F (48°–60°C). If the detergent is not dissolving, try a liquid HE detergent. Sort clothes by color to prevent dye transfer; if a fabric label states to wash separately, unstable dyes may be indicated.

Note that the first time the washer is plugged in, it performs automatic system checks, which may take up to 20 seconds before you can use it. This is normal.
