Why does the water level seem low in my GE GTW485?
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 there is low water flow in my GE GTW485?
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.
What to do if my GE Washer is leaking water?
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 reduce suds in my GE Washer?
