Why does water not enter my GE GFWR4805, or enters slowly?
- L
  Laura BrownSep 8, 2025
  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.

  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 is my GE Washer not draining, spinning, or agitating?
- J
  jwoodsAug 22, 2025
  If your GE Washer isn't draining, spinning, or agitating, there are several possible causes: * The load might be unbalanced. Try redistributing the clothes and running a drain & spin or rinse & spin cycle. * The pump could be clogged. * The drain hose may be kinked or improperly connected. Ensure the drain hose is straight and the washer isn't sitting on it. * The household drain might be clogged. Check your household plumbing, and call a plumber if needed. * The drain hose might be siphoning because it's pushed too far down the drain. Make sure there's an air gap between the hose and the drain.

Why is there not enough water in my GE GFWR4805 Washer?

  If it seems like your GE Washer isn't using enough water, note that horizontal washers don't require the basket to fill with water like top-load washers; this is normal.

  Rhonda BurkeAug 30, 2025
  If your GE Washer is leaking water, consider these potential causes: * Check the door gasket for damage, ensuring it's correctly seated and not torn. Remember that objects left in pockets (like nails or pens) can cause damage. * The household drain may be clogged. Check your plumbing, and call a plumber if necessary. * The dispenser might be clogged, especially if you're using powder soap. Remove the drawer and clean both the drawer and the inside of the dispenser box. * You might be using too much detergent, leading to oversudsing. Try using less detergent.
