Cycle Options - Continued
Deep Fill
Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. The Deep Fill feature is recommended for special case
loads only, not for typical use.
Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the
Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible; this will increase cycle time due to the additional time it
takes to fill the washer.
To cancel the option if desired, press the Deep Fill button again.
NOTE: The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional
water is desired. To stop the extra fill, press the Deep Fill button again and the water will stop.
Auto Soak
This option begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves through the rest of the cycle
automatically.
2nd Rinse
When you use extra detergent or bleach to clean heavily soiled clothes, use the 2nd Rinse option to better remove additional
residues.
Extra Spin
Select to provide additional spin time, increasing energy efficiency through reducing drying times.
2nd Rinse + Extra Spin
Provides both a second rinse and an extra spin.
Deep Rinse/Extra Rinse
Set this option to provide a deep rinse or when using fabric softener. This option may change other settings (e.g. Spin may go to a
higher setting) to maximize performance.

Consumer Help Indicator
USING THE WASHER
Getting started
Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for
some situations that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful lights
you may notice flashing on the display.
Spin and Rinse
lights (on some
models)
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the
remaining portion of the cycle and will stay
illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When
the washer tries to redistribute the load, the Rinse light will be illuminated solid while the Spin
light blinks (on some models).
When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-
balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to
balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end
of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.
Fill light blinking
(on some models)
The Fill light may flash if the washer was paused longer than 24 hours, water was left in the washer
for 15 minutes with lid open (3 blinks), if during fill the washer doesn’t sense water accumulating in
the wash tub during preset period of time (2 blinks) or if the machine has stopped itself before the
cycle completed due to certain faults. As soon as the light starts flashing, the washer will initiate a
4 minute control lock-out period and turn on the pump. The washer controls won’t respond/change
during this time. After the 4 minute period (pump sound stops), you can begin your cycle again. If you
try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again. If
the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.
Fill light (Water
not entering
washer) (2 blinks
on some models)
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation
or coming back from vacation? As soon as the light starts to flash, the washer will initiate a 4 minute
lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you
can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer,
the 4 minute timer will start over again. A non-obvious Home Water Supply issue may exist.
Lid Locked/
Unlocked light
Lid Locked/Unlocked light will flash if 3 cycles have been started without opening the lid. The washer
will not start another cycle until the lid is opened. Try opening, then closing the lid and starting a new
cycle. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.
