If your GE Washer isn't operating, here are a few things to check: * Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. * Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. * Confirm that the lid is closed and press Start, as a safety feature prevents operation when the lid is open. * Check your house's circuit breakers or fuses and replace if necessary. The washer should ideally have its own separate outlet. * Try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer, waiting two minutes, plugging it back in, and then pressing Start. * Ensure you have pressed the Start button.
What to do if my GE Washer is leaking water?
If your GE washer is leaking water, consider the following: * Switch to High Efficiency detergent. * Use less detergent, especially if you have soft water or a lightly soiled load. * Ensure fill and drain hoses are tightly connected at the faucets and that rubber washers are installed. Also, verify the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the drain. * Check your household plumbing for clogs; a plumber might be needed. * Ensure the drain hose isn't rubbing against the wall to prevent wear. * Tighten the hoses at the faucets and inspect the fill hoses, replacing them every 5 years if necessary.
Why are there snags, holes, tears, rips or excessive wear on my clothes after washing in my GE Washer?
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).
