How to fix a GE GTW465 Washer that won't operate?
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.

Why is my GE GTW465 leaking water?
If your GE Washer is leaking water, there are several things to check: * Switch to High Efficiency detergent. * Use less detergent, especially if you have soft water or are washing a small or lightly soiled load. * Ensure fill and drain hoses are tightly connected at the faucets with rubber washers installed, and the drain hose is correctly inserted and secured to the drain. * Check your household plumbing for clogs; you may need to call a plumber. * Ensure the drain hose isn't rubbing against the wall, which can cause wear. * Tighten the hoses at the faucets and inspect the fill hoses, replacing them every 5 years.
Why is there lint or residue on clothes after washing in my GE GTW465?
If your GE Washer is producing lint or residue on clothes, here's what might be happening: * Clothes that are air-dried or line-dried may retain more lint. * Ensure you are separating lint producers from lint collectors. * Avoid washing small loads for too long; use a Light Soil setting for shorter wash times. * Rewash, using a liquid detergent and warmer water temperature to help dissolve detergent. * Loosely load clothes in the washer basket, placing items around the outside for best results. * Check the fabric softener package for correct usage and ensure you've selected the Deep Rinse/Extra Rinse option (on some models).
