What to do if my GE Washer won’t operate?
- A
  Ashley ButlerAug 16, 2025
  If your GE Washer won't operate, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the washer is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. Verify that the controls are set correctly and that you have pressed the Start button. Also, check your house circuit breakers or fuses, replacing any blown fuses or resetting the breaker. The washer should have a separate outlet. If the issue persists, try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer, waiting two minutes, and then plugging it back in and pressing Start.

  If your GE Washer isn’t draining, check the drain hose. Make sure it is straightened and not kinked, and ensure the washer isn't sitting on it. The top of the drain outlet should be less than 6 ft (1.8 m) above the floor.

Why is my GE GTW680 Washer leaving lint or residue on clothes?

  Leslie DiazAug 22, 2025
  If your GE Washer is leaving lint or residue on clothes, consider several factors. If you air or line dry your clothes, they may retain more lint. Ensure you are separating lint producers from lint collectors when sorting. Also, the detergent may not be dissolving properly. Rewash the clothes, using a liquid detergent and warmer water temperature next time.

  If your GE Washer is leaving colored spots on clothes, it could be due to incorrect use of fabric softener. Check the fabric softener package for instructions and follow directions for using the dispenser. Ensure you have selected the Deep Rinse option. It may also be dye transfer, so sort whites or lightly colored items from dark colors. Pretreat the stain and rewash using the Speed Wash cycle before drying.

Why are my clothes too wet after washing in my GE GTW680 Washer?

  Kelsey MaldonadoAug 28, 2025
  If your GE Washer leaves clothes too wet, make sure you have selected a spin option. Also, verify that the cycle selected matches the load you are washing, as 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 the Drain & Spin cycle.

Why are my clothes grayed or yellowed after washing in my GE GTW680?

  James MartinezAug 30, 2025
  If clothes are grayed or yellowed after washing in your GE Washer, ensure you follow the detergent manufacturer’s directions regarding the amount to use. If you have hard water, use a water conditioner or install a water softener. Make sure your water heater is delivering water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C). Also, avoid overloading the washer; loosely load clothes no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket, loading items around the outside of the basket for best results.

  If you're experiencing low water flow in your GE Washer, the water valve screens may be stopped up. Turn off the water source, then remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or toothpick. Reconnect the hoses, turn the water back on, and check for leaks at the connections.

  If the water temperature seems incorrect in your GE Washer, first, ensure that both the hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on and that the hoses are connected to the correct faucets, noting that water valves are marked “H” and “C.” Also, verify that your house water heater is properly set to deliver water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C).

Why are my clothes getting snags, holes, or tears in my GE GTW680?
- R
  Robert SweeneySep 8, 2025
  If you notice snags, holes, tears, rips, or excessive wear on your clothes after washing them in your GE Washer, ensure you fasten snaps, hooks, buttons, and zippers before washing. Remove loose items like pins, objects from pockets, and sharp buttons. Turn knits (which snag easily) inside out. Check bleach package instructions for proper amount. Never add undiluted bleach to wash or allow clothes to come in contact with undiluted bleach. Rinse items that may have chemicals on them before washing and use Speed Wash cycle with Extra Rinse option.

  If your GE Washer is causing wrinkling, match the cycle selection to the type of fabric you are washing, especially for easy care loads. Avoid mixing heavy items (like jeans) with light items (like blouses). You can also try using a fabric softener.
