Water, Power and Safety First
Closing the washer's water faucets when the machine is not in use takes pressure off the hoses and valves and limits flooding if a hose gives way. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
Unplug the washer before servicing or cleaning it; pressing the power button does not disconnect it from the electrical supply. Source: GE Appliances - Washer Owner's Manual
Set the washer on a solid floor with no more than about 1 inch of slope under the cabinet, adjust the leveling feet, and tighten the locknuts against the cabinet; loose locknuts can cause vibration. Source: Whirlpool - Washer Installation Instructions
