GE Washer Lines and Features
How GE Washers Are Built
Electronic models sense load size and type before and during fill, and they detect an out-of-balance load and try to redistribute it, which can keep the spin from reaching full speed. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
Most front load models have a drain pump filter reachable at the bottom front of the cabinet, while models without front access need a technician to reach it. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
Common GE Washer Problems
- Front load washer not draining. Check the drain hose for kinks and correct standpipe placement, clean the pump filter at the bottom front, and rebalance the load. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
- Washer smells. Leave the lid up between uses so the inside can dry, since closing it too soon can cause a mildew odor. Source: GE Appliances - Frequently Asked Questions About GE Washers
