Why is my GE GTW460ASJWW Washer leaking water?
- C
  Christian GrahamAug 13, 2025
  Several factors can cause water leaks in your GE Washer. You might be using too much detergent, or the wrong type. Try using less detergent, especially if you have soft water. Ensure your fill and drain hoses are properly connected and tightened at the faucets, with rubber washers installed. Also, check your household plumbing for clogs, and make sure the drain hose isn't rubbing against the wall. Finally, ensure constant water pressure doesn't stress the fill hoses, and consider replacing them every 5 years.

  If you're experiencing low water flow in your GE Washer, the water valve screens might be clogged. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer and the faucets. Clean the hose screens and the screens in the machine using a brush or toothpick. Reconnect the hoses, turn the water back on, and check for leaks.

Why does the water temperature seem incorrect on my GE GTW460ASJWW Washer?

  gnormanSep 1, 2025
  Several factors can affect the water temperature in your GE Washer. Modern detergents work well with cooler water for energy efficiency. Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully on and properly connected, noting the “H” and “C” markings on the water valves. Clean any blockage in the water valve screens. Note that the washer may optimize temperature, adding cold water even when hot is selected. Lastly, ensure your house water heater is set between 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).

Why is water siphoning out of my GE Washer?
- H
  Heather RamosSep 5, 2025
  If water is siphoning out of your GE Washer, the drain standpipe might be too low, or the hose is inserted too far into it. The drain hose must be at least 32 inches high between the washer and the drain pipe. Use an anti-siphon clip.
