Why are detergent packets not dissolving in my GE GTW500?

Why is my GE Washer rocking or moving?
If your GE Washer is rocking or moving, it's likely due to uneven leveling legs. To fix this, adjust the leveling legs by rotating each leg in the proper direction until the washer is stable.
What to do if water is siphoning out of my GE Washer?
If water is siphoning out of your GE washer, the drain hose must exceed 30” height at some point between the washer back and the drain pipe. Use an anti-siphon clip and refer to the Installation Instructions for proper setup.
Why does my GE Washer spin and pause at the beginning of cycles?
If your GE Washer is spinning and pausing at the beginning of cycles, it is sensing the load.
Why is the water temperature incorrect in my GE GTW500?
If the water temperature in your GE washer seems incorrect, several factors could be the cause. New laundry detergents are designed to work with cooler water for better energy efficiency. Ensure both hot and cold water faucets are fully on and connected correctly, noting the 'H' and 'C' markings on the water valves. Clean the water valve screens if they are blocked. It is normal for some models to add cold water periodically when hot is selected. Finally, ensure your house water heater is set to deliver water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).
How to resolve low water flow in my GE GTW500?
To resolve low water flow in your GE washer, turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.
How to fix a GE 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 are my clothes too wet after washing in my GE Washer?
