If the door of your GE Washer unlocks, or the machine doesn’t operate when you press Start, simply open and close the door firmly, then press Start.
Why is my GE Washer making a loud or unusual noise, vibrating, or shaking?
If your GE Washer is making loud or unusual noises, vibrating, or shaking, it could be due to several reasons. The cabinet is designed to move slightly, about 1/4", which is normal. Ensure all rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor and are locked in place. If the washer is uneven, adjust the legs. An unbalanced load can also cause these issues; pause the unit, open the door, and manually redistribute the load. To check the machine, run a rinse and spin cycle with no load to see if the noise persists.
How to fix a GE GFWR4800 with no power or that is not working?
If your GE Washer has no power or isn't working, first make sure the cord is plugged securely into a working outlet. Then, ensure the water supply is turned on fully at both the hot and cold faucets. Check the house circuit breakers or fuses and replace any blown fuses or reset the breaker. The washer should have a separate outlet. If it's the first time the washer is plugged in, it may be undergoing automatic system checks, which can take up to 20 seconds before you can use it.
Why does water not enter my GE GFWR4800, or enters slowly?
If water does not enter your GE Washer or enters slowly, it could be due to automatic system checks that occur after the Start button is pressed; water will flow 60 seconds after Start is pressed. Another reason could be that the water supply is turned off; turn on both hot and cold faucets fully. Also, the water valve screens might be clogged; turn off the water source, remove the water connection hoses from the back of the washer, clean the screens, and reconnect the hoses.
Why is my GE Washer leaking detergent?
A detergent leak in your GE Washer could be due to incorrect placement of the detergent insert. Make sure the detergent insert is properly located and fully seated. Never put detergent above the max line.
