Why is there lint or residue on clothes after washing in my GE GTW485?
- A
  Amy AguilarSep 1, 2025
  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).

  If the water level seems low in your GE Washer, it's likely normal. This high-efficiency washer is designed so that water may not cover the top level of the clothes.

What to do if my GE Washer is leaking water?
- M
  Melissa JonesAug 25, 2025
  If your GE Washer is leaking water, there are several potential causes. First, ensure you are using the correct amount of High Efficiency detergent. Using too much detergent, especially in soft water, can cause leaks. Also, check that the fill and drain hoses are tightly connected to the faucets and the drain facility, and that rubber washers are properly installed. A clogged household drain could also be the culprit, potentially requiring a plumber. Ensure the drain hose isn't rubbing against the wall, which can cause wear. Finally, ensure the hoses are tightened at the faucets and inspect the fill hoses for damage; replace them every 5 years.

How to prevent lint on clothes in my GE GTW485?

  Steven HarmonAug 30, 2025
  To prevent lint or residue on clothes in your GE Washer, consider these points: If you air dry your clothes, they may retain more lint. Separate lint producers from lint collectors when sorting your laundry. For small loads, use a shorter wash time with the Light Soil setting. If detergent isn't dissolving properly, rewash using liquid detergent and warmer water. Avoid overloading the washer, and loosely load clothes around the outside of the basket. Check the fabric softener package for correct usage and ensure the Deep Rinse option is selected (on some models).

  David HillAug 30, 2025
  To reduce excessive suds in your GE Washer, consider the following: If you have soft water, use less detergent. Measure your detergent carefully, and if the load is lightly soiled, reduce the amount of soap. Also, consider switching to a High Efficiency detergent.

How to fix a GE GTW485 Washer when the water won’t drain?
- B
  Brittany ChaneyAug 29, 2025
  If the water isn't draining from your GE washer, check if the drain hose is kinked or improperly connected. Straighten the drain hose, ensure the washer isn't sitting on it, and verify that the top of the drain outlet is less than 8 ft (2.44 m) above the floor.

How to fix a GE GTW485 that won't operate?
- J
  Joshua PageAug 29, 2025
  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.

  If the agitator seems loose on your GE Washer (on some models), it is designed to be flexible to allow for care of large bulky items such as comforters; this is normal.

Why are my clothes too wet after washing in my GE GTW485?
- S
  Samantha MacdonaldAug 28, 2025
  If clothes are coming out of your GE Washer too wet, ensure that the cycle selected matches the load you are washing. Some fabrics will feel wetter when rinsed with cold water. If the wash load is out of balance, redistribute the load in the washer and run it through a Drain & Spin cycle.
