Why are there colored spots on my clothes after washing in my GE Washer?

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.

An unbalanced load can cause this; redistribute the clothes and run a 'Drain + Spin' or 'Rinse + Spin' cycle, or increase the load size if you're washing a small load with heavy and light items. Note that the machine will slow the spin speed down to 410 rpm if it has a hard time balancing the load. Overloading the washer can also leave clothes too wet, so ensure the dry weight of the load is less than 16 lbs. Check that the drain hose isn't kinked or that the washer isn't sitting on it. A clogged household drain may also be the culprit, so inspect your plumbing.
