If you're noticing colored spots on clothes washed in your GE Washer, ensure you are using fabric softener correctly by checking the package instructions and following directions for using the dispenser. Also, sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors to prevent dye transfer.
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.
Why is there not enough water in my GE Washer?
Horizontal washers, like your GE Washer, do not require the tub to fill with water like top-load washers. This is normal.
Why is my GE GFW650 Washer improperly dispensing softener or bleach?
If your GE Washer is improperly dispensing softener or bleach, clean the dispenser drawer monthly to remove buildup of chemicals. Also, make sure you are using the correct amount of softener and not filling it above the max line.
Why is my GE GFW650 Washer not draining, spinning, or tumbling?
If your GE Washer is not draining, spinning, or tumbling, it could be due to several reasons. First, the load might be unbalanced; try redistributing the clothes and running a Rinse & Spin cycle. If you're washing a small load with heavy and light items, increase the load size. Also, the pump filter might be clogged; refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on cleaning it. Ensure the drain hose isn't kinked or that the washer isn't sitting on it, and check your household plumbing for clogs, calling a plumber if necessary. Finally, make sure the drain hose isn't siphoning by ensuring there's an air gap between the hose and drain and that it's not inserted more than 7 inches into the drain pipe.
Why are there colored spots on my clothes after washing in my GE GFW650?
If you notice colored spots on your clothes after washing in your GE washer, check the fabric softener package for instructions and follow the directions for using the dispenser. Sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors to prevent dye transfer.
What to do if clothes are too wet after washing in my GE GFW650 Washer?
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. Avoid overloading the washer; the dry weight of the load should be less than 16 lbs. Ensure the drain hose isn't kinked or improperly connected; straighten it and ensure the washer isn't sitting on it. Also, the household drain may be clogged, or the drain hose may be siphoning; ensure there's an air gap between the hose and the drain.
How to prevent wrinkling in my GE Washer?
To prevent wrinkling in your GE washer, avoid mixing heavy items with light items when sorting. Ensure you load your washer so clothes have enough room to move freely. Match the cycle selection to the type of fabric you are washing, especially for easy care loads. Wash in warm or cold water to avoid repeated washing in water that is too hot.
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.
GE GFW650 Washer has no power, what to do?
If your GE Washer has no power or isn't working, first, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Next, verify that both the hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. Check your house circuit breakers or fuses and replace or reset them as needed, ensuring the washer has a separate outlet. 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.
