How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply before removing hoses.

  • Adjust detergent use: Use HE detergent and follow GE's recommended amounts. Reduce quantity for soft water.
  • Clean inlet screens: Disconnect hot and cold hoses from the washer and clean the small screens in the GE inlet valve.
  • Check water pressure: Ensure both hot and cold faucets are fully open and supply adequate flow.
  • Verify drain hose height: Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height per the manual to prevent siphoning.
