  If your GE washer won't operate, there are several possible causes: * Ensure the washer is securely plugged into a working outlet. * Make sure both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on. * Check that the lid is closed completely and press Start. * Inspect your house circuit breakers/fuses and replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. Ensure the washer has a separate outlet. * Try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer, waiting 2 minutes, plugging it back in, and pressing Start. * Confirm that you have pressed the Start button.

How to fix low water flow in my GE PTW900BPTRS Washer?

  If you're experiencing low water flow in your GE washer, here's what you can do: First, turn off the water source and detach 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. If the water pressure at the washer inlets is less than 20 psi while filling, it's recommended to call a plumber to evaluate your water supply and make any necessary corrections to increase the water pressure.

  If you notice residue powder in the dispenser or clogging of the dispensers in your GE washer, it could be due to wash water being too cold or low home water pressure. To address this: * Select a warmer wash temperature to improve detergent dissolving, or switch to liquid detergent. * Ensure siphon caps are free of any debris and are fully pressed into position. * If clogging continues, remove and clean the tray.
