What a GE Washer Technician Deals With

What GE Says to Check First
- 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
