  Caleb MitchellAug 21, 2025
  There are several reasons why your GEAppliances washer might not be operating. First, ensure the power cord 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 the start button is pressed. Also, check your house circuit breakers or fuses and replace if necessary, ensuring the washer has a separate outlet. If the issue persists, try resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer, waiting two minutes, plugging it back in, and pressing start.

  If your GEAppliances washer is leaking, there are several potential causes to investigate. First, ensure you are using the correct type and amount of detergent; switch to a High Efficiency detergent and use less of it, especially if you have soft water or are washing a small or lightly soiled load. Check that the fill and drain hoses are tightly connected at the faucets and that the rubber washers are installed correctly. Also, verify that the end of the drain hose is properly inserted and secured to the drain facility. Inspect your household plumbing for clogs, and ensure the drain hose isn't rubbing against the wall. Finally, tighten the hoses at the faucets and check the condition of the fill hoses, replacing them every 5 years if needed.

  If the water won’t drain from your GEAppliances washer, check the drain hose first. Make sure it is straightened and not kinked, and ensure the washer isn't sitting on it. Also, verify that the top of the drain outlet is less than 8 ft (2.44 m) above the floor.

Why GEAppliances Washer water temperature seems incorrect?

  If the water temperature in your GEAppliances washer seems incorrect, several factors could be the cause. Modern detergents are designed to work well with cooler water, improving energy efficiency. Ensure that both hot and cold water faucets are fully turned on and that the hoses are connected to the correct faucets, marked “H” and “C”. Check for clogged water valve screens by turning off the water source, disconnecting the hoses, cleaning the screens, and reconnecting. Also, make sure your house water heater is set to deliver water at 120°F–140°F (48°C–60°C). Note that on some models, cold water may be added periodically even when hot is selected, as the washer optimizes for best results.

  If you are experiencing too many suds in your GEAppliances washer, it could be due to several reasons. If you have soft water, try using less detergent. Also, make sure you are measuring your detergent carefully and using less if you have soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load. Finally, consider switching to a High Efficiency detergent.

Why GEAppliances GTW485ASJWS leaves lint or residue on clothes?
- R
  Ryan SweeneyAug 29, 2025
  If you notice lint or residue on your clothes after washing in your GEAppliances washer, several factors could be contributing. If you air dry your clothes, they may retain more lint. Ensure you are separating lint producers from lint collectors when sorting your laundry. Avoid washing small loads for too long by using the Light Soil setting. If the detergent isn't dissolving properly, try using a liquid detergent and warmer water. Avoid overloading the washer, and ensure you are loading clothes loosely around the outside of the basket. Finally, check the fabric softener package for instructions and follow directions for using the dispenser, making sure you have selected the Deep Rinse option.

What to do if my GEAppliances GTW485ASJWS leaves clothes too wet?
- C
  Christine HigginsSep 1, 2025
  If your clothes are too wet after a wash cycle in your GEAppliances washer, make sure you have selected a spin option. Verify that the cycle you selected matches the type of load you are washing, as some fabrics may feel wetter when rinsed with cold water. If the wash load is out of balance, redistribute it in the washer and run it through a Drain & Spin cycle.
