Why are there snags, holes, tears, rips or excessive wear on my clothes after washing in my GE Washer?

  Kelly StanleySep 5, 2025
  Snags, holes, tears, rips, or excessive wear on clothes after washing in your GE washer can occur due to: * Pins, snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, belt buckles, zippers, and sharp objects left in pockets. Fasten snaps, hooks, buttons, and zippers. Remove loose items like pins, objects in pockets, and sharp buttons. Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out. * Undiluted chlorine bleach. Check the bleach package instructions for the proper amount and never add undiluted bleach to the wash or allow clothes to come into contact with undiluted bleach. * Chemicals like hair bleach or dye, or permanent wave solution. Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before washing and use the Speed Wash cycle with the Extra Rinse option (on some models).

Why is the water temperature incorrect in my GE GTW220?

  If the water temperature in your GE Washer seems incorrect, first ensure that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on and that the hoses are connected to the correct faucets, noting the “H” and “C” markings on the water valves. Check the water valve screens for blockage by turning off the water source, disconnecting the hoses, cleaning the screens with a brush or toothpick, reconnecting the hoses, and turning the water back on, ensuring no leaks. Finally, verify that your house water heater is set to deliver water between 120°F and 140°F (48°C–60°C).

Why are my clothes grayed or yellowed after washing in my GE GTW220 Washer?

  Sierra HarveySep 6, 2025
  If your clothes are grayed or yellowed after washing in your GE Washer, ensure you are following the detergent manufacturer’s directions for the amount to use. If you have hard water, use a water conditioner or install a water softener. Make sure your water heater is delivering water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C). Avoid overloading the washer; loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket, loading items around the outside for best results. Sort clothes by color, especially if the fabric label indicates that unstable dyes may be present.

  To minimize wrinkling when using your GE Washer: Select the appropriate cycle for the fabric type, especially for easy-care loads. Avoid mixing heavy items like jeans with lighter items like blouses, and consider using a fabric softener. Do not overload the washer; loosely load clothes in the basket. Wash clothes in warm or cold water to avoid repeated washing in excessively hot water.

  Ashley LoweSep 7, 2025
  Colored spots on clothes after washing in your GE Washer may be due to incorrect use of fabric softener. Check the fabric softener package for instructions and follow directions for using the dispenser, ensuring you have selected the Deep Rinse option (on some models). Dye transfer can also cause colored spots, so sort whites or lightly colored items separately from dark colors.
