To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are there colored spots on my clothes after washing in my GE Washer?
If you're noticing colored spots on clothes after washing in your GE Washer, it might be due to incorrect use of fabric softener; check the package for instructions and follow directions for using the dispenser. It could also be due to dye transfer, so sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors.
Why is my GE Washer leaking detergent?
If you notice a detergent leak in your GE Washer, ensure the detergent insert is properly located and fully seated, and never put detergent above the max line. It is normal to see detergent leak on the door gasket about 20 seconds after filling the dispenser.
Why is the pump running when my GE GFWS1705 is not in use?
If the pump is running while your GE Washer is not in use, this is normal. The drain sump is detecting an undesired water fill level from a potential open faucet. Shut off the water valve and inspect the water valve for blockage.
