Display and Status Lights (Features and appearance will vary)

The display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle and the washer cycle status (Fill, Wash, Rinse and Spin).
NOTE:
The cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The “smart” timer “learns” the amount of time it takes to fill your washer and adjusts the total time accordingly.If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than usual at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash tub and run a Rinse & Spin cycle. In addition, the display will show:

In addition, the display will show:

Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it stops. After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener or detergent. You may see water in the detergent, bleach and fabric softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.

SmartDispense™ (on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add detergent for each load.The detergent amount selection on the controlpanel will default to AUTO when first powering upthe washing machine. When AUTO is selected, the amount of detergent needed for each laundry load will automatically be determined based on the size of the load the machine senses.For AUTO, the washer will dispense approximately 1.5 oz of detergent for an 8 lb normal load. For other loads, it will adjust proportionally based on the size of load and garment type. If you select LESS, the amount of detergent will be reduced by 40%. This may be desired for higher concentrate detergents or if you have very soft water. For heavily soiled loads, you may want to select MORE to add 40% more detergent than the AUTO level.NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of the SmartDispense feature. If the light is not illuminated and pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad results in a beeping tone, then SmartDispense is not allowed for the cycle that has been selected. Detergent will need to be added directly to the detergent compartment for these cycles.Do NOT put detergent packets in the dispenser drawer.
NOTE: Use only liquid or powder HE detergents and additives in the dispenser drawer. Laundry detergent packets should only be added directly to the wash basket following the manufacturer’s directions.

If it is desired to manually select the amount of detergent for a given load, this can be done by pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad on the control panel to select detergent for a Small or Large load. Small will provide less detergent than average and Large will provide more detergent than average.
NOTE: If it is desired to manually add detergent for a load, that detergent will need to be added directly to the basket, and the SMART DISPENSE set to off for that particular load. The smart dispense feature can be disabled by pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad until off is selected.

Detergent Compartment
Only use high-efficiency detergent in this washer. Do NOT fill high-efficiency detergent over the MAX line. Use detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.

Powder Detergent – Lift the flap up for powder detergent. This must be done to dissolve and flush detergent properly. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions when measuring the amount of powder detergent to use.
Liquid Detergent – Keep the flap down for liquid detergent. This retains the liquid detergent until it automatically flushes at the start of the wash cycle. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions when measuring the amount of liquid detergent to use.

Liquid Bleach Compartment
If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour into the compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH” marked with this symbol . It is recommended to use High-Efficiency (HE) bleach in this front-load washer.

Fabric Softener Compartment
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment labeled “FABRIC SOFTENER”.Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser. Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it can lead to oversudsing, detergent residue being left on the clothes, and could extend wash times.
Do not put clumped detergent in the dispenser. Clumped detergent can cause a leak. Do NOT put detergent packets in the dispenser drawer.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE:
Do not use powdered bleach or laundry detergent/additive packets in the dispenser.Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which could stain clothes.
NOTE:
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

Care and cleaning

Water Supply Hoses
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.

Exterior
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Wipe or dust spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Washer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the washer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your washer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.

Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a watertight seal. You will notice if you regularly use the ULTRAFRESH VENT System that this will not be required as often. It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach (or other commercially available product manufactured for this purpose, such as Tide® Washing Machine Cleaner) poured directly into the basket without clothes and using the Self Clean Cycle.

Self Clean
To clean the interior of the washer, select the SELF CLEAN feature on the control panel. This Self Clean cycle should be performed, at a minimum, onceper month or about every 30-40 wash cycles. This cycle will use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.
NOTE:
Read the instructions below completely before starting Self Clean cycle.

Remove any garments or objects from the washer and ensure the washer basket is empty.
Open the washer door and pour one cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine cleaner into the basket.
Close the door and select the SELF CLEAN cycle. Push the Start pad.
When the Self Clean cycle is working, the display will show the estimated cycle time remaining. The cycle will complete in about 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
After the cycle is complete, the washer will automatically start an ULTRAFRESH VENT operation so that the door can remain closed until the next time you use the washer.
If for any reason the cycle needs to be interrupted, the door will not open immediately. Forcing open the door at this stage may cause water to flood. The door will open after the water is drained to a level where it would not flood the floor.
Self-Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start pad in between cycles. A power outage in the house might also interrupt the cycle. When the power supply is back, the Self Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a complete Self Clean cycle before using the washer. If the Power pad is pressed during Self Clean, the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
- Run Self Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month.
- After the completion of a Self Clean cycle, the interior of your washer may have a bleach smell.
- It is recommended to run a RINSE & SPIN or a light color load after the Self Clean cycle.

NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply is very hard.

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

INSTALLING THE WASHER

Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog the inlet hose and water valve screens.
Remove the inlet hoses from the packaging (whether supplied with the washer or sold separately).
(90° elbow end) Ensure there is a rubber washer in the 90° elbow end of the HOT and COLD hoses. Reinstall the rubber washer into the hose fitting if it has fallen out during shipment. Carefully connect the inlet hose marked HOT to the outside “H” outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect the other inlet hose to the inside “C” outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand; then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not cross-thread or over-tighten these connections.
If inlet hose screen washers are not already inserted into the inlet hoses, install them by inserting into the free ends of the HOT and COLD inlet hoses with protruded side facing the faucet.
Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.
Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently rock the washer into position. It is important not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving your washer to its final location. Damaged legs
can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your washer into its final position.
NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull on the back right and then back left of your washer. NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift the washer.
NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use a 24-inch long 2×4 to lever the washer into place.
With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer (if the washer is installed under a counter, the washer should not be able to rock). Adjust the front leveling legs up or down to ensure the washer is resting solidly. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up toward the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.
NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate. If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to extend the rear leveling legs.
Attach U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.
Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
Read the rest of this Owner’s Manual. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money..
Before starting the washer, check to make sure: Main power is turned on.

Does unplugging a washer reset it?

On a machine without a reset button, unplugging the washer and then plugging it back in often serves as the means to reset it. Although not usually a button, programmable washing machines might have a reset function or position to clear a program problem.

Why is my GE washer stuck on sensing?

A GE washer stuck on sensing can be one of three problems depending on the exact model. It is either a clog in the drain pump, a failed drain pump, or faulty transmission. The first problem is an easy DIY fix, the last two issues will require the help of a service tech.
