If the control time on your GE Washer is wrong or changes, it's likely normal. During the spin cycle, the washer may need to rebalance the load to reduce vibrations. When this happens, the estimated time is increased, causing the time left to increase or jump.
Why is my GE GFWN1300 Washer leaking water?
If your GE washer is leaking water, several factors could be the cause. Check the door gasket to ensure it's properly seated and not torn. If water is present on the back left of the washer, it indicates an oversudsing condition, suggesting you should use less detergent. Inspect the fill and drain hoses to confirm they are tightly connected at both the washer and the faucets, and that the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the drain. A clogged household drain could also be the culprit. The dispenser might be clogged, especially if you're using powder soap; remove the drawer and clean both it and the inside of the dispenser box. Make sure that you are using only HE detergent in the correct amount. Finally, if it's a new installation, check the dispenser box for any cracks.
Why is my GE GFWN1300 Washer making loud or unusual noises?
If your GE washer is making loud or unusual noises, vibrating, or shaking, it could be due to several factors. The washer is designed to move slightly (about 1/4 inch) to reduce forces transmitted to the floor, which is normal. Ensure all rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor by pushing and pulling on the back right and left sides of the washer to check if it is level. An unbalanced load can also cause these issues; pause the unit, open the door, and manually redistribute the load. A clogged pump could also be the reason.
Why is there not enough water in my GE GFWN1300?

Why is softener or bleach not dispensing properly in my GE Washer?
Improper dispensing of softener or bleach in your GE washer may be caused by: * A clogged dispenser: Clean the dispenser drawer monthly to remove buildup of chemicals. * Overfilling: Make sure to use the correct amount of softener or bleach, not exceeding the max line. * Cap issues: Make sure the softener and bleach cap for the dispenser are seated correctly.
Why is my GE GFWN1300 Washer not draining, spinning, or tumbling?
If your GE Washer isn't draining, spinning, or tumbling, it might be due to several reasons. First, the load might be unbalanced; try redistributing the clothes and running a 'Drain + Spin' or 'Rinse + Spin' cycle. If you're washing a small load with heavy and light items, increase the load size. Also, check if the pump is clogged. Ensure the drain hose isn't kinked or that the washer isn't sitting on it. Your household drain could also be clogged, so it’s worth checking your plumbing. Finally, make sure the drain hose isn't siphoning because it's pushed too far down the drain; ensure there's an air gap between the hose and the drain.
