Why won't my GE Washer start?
- D
  davisgregoryAug 28, 2025
  If your GE washer isn't starting, check these potential causes: ensure the washer is properly plugged into a working outlet. Verify that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. Make sure the lid is closed completely. Check your house's circuit breakers or fuses, replacing any blown fuses or resetting tripped breakers. Try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer for 2 minutes, then plugging it back in. Finally, be sure you 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 GTW491?

  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.

  If your GE Washer won't operate, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the washer is securely plugged into a working outlet. * Check that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. * Make sure the lid is closed and press Start, as a safety feature prevents operation with the lid open. * Inspect your house circuit breakers or fuses and replace if necessary; the washer should have a separate outlet. * Try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer, waiting two minutes, plugging it back in, and pressing Start. * Confirm that you have pressed the Start button.

  If your GE Washer isn't draining, check the drain hose. Make sure it's not kinked or that the washer isn't sitting on it. Also, ensure the top of the drain outlet is less than 6 ft (1.8 m) above the floor.
