What a GE Washer Technician Deals With
The drain hose should use the included anti-siphon clip and must not be pushed too deep into the standpipe or taped in place, which can siphon water out of the washer. Source: GE Appliances - Front Load Washer - Troubleshooting
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
What GE Says to Check First
- 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
- Washer not filling. Check the breaker and plug, make sure both water faucets are fully open, and look for clogged inlet hose screens. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - No Fill
