IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-
cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
DO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These
substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for 2 weeks
or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using a
washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during this time.
DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is
used near children. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
DO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts
including a damaged cord or plug.
Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT disconnect power.

Consumer Help Indicator
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 light blinkingIf 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 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 (Water not
entering washer)
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or
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.
Lid Locked light Lid Locked 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 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

Loading the Washer
Proper Use of Detergent
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the
fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
- Fire Hazard
WARNING
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Using too little or too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller
load or a lightly soiled load.
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as
recommended on the product label. Application should
be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may
cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.
Place detergent pods in the bottom of the wash basket
before adding clothes.
GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents
such as
in your energy efficient washer.
HE detergents are formulated to work with low
water wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce
the oversudsing problems commonly associated with
regular detergents.
When using high efficiency or concentrated
detergents, consult the product label to determine
amount required for optimum performance. Excessive
detergent will negatively impact wash performance.
Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Load dry items loosely in the washer basket. For best
results, load items evenly and loosely around the
outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on
larger loads. To add items after washer has started,
press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid
Lock indicator on the display is no longer illuminated
before attempting to open the lid. Lift the lid and
submerge additional items around the outside of
the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume.
Adjust load size selection and/or use Deep Fill option if
necessary.
Do not place large items such as sheets, blankets
and towels across the Infusor (on some models).
Load them around the outside of the basket.
Do not put lawn or sofa cushions into the washer as
they are too big to move. Remove outer covers and
ONLY wash them.

About washer features.
Automatic Load Sensing (on some models)
This determines the correct agitate profile, agitate duration and amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the washer.
The washer will not start the wash cycle or fill with water if the lid is open. When the lid is closed the machine is able to begin filling with
water in order to sense the load size.
NOTE: Automatic Load Sensing initiates a spin at the beginning of the cycle and will take as much as 3 minutes to complete (significantly
shorter for smaller loads); this is normal operation.
NOTE: This is a high efficiency washing machine with agitator wash action. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning
action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an agitator-equipped washer.
The agitator cap fits into the top of the agitator. If it accidentally comes
off, simply put it back on.
The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer or raise the lid during the first spin. This will
cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
To use, follow these steps:
1
Make sure dispenser is securely attached to agitator.
2
Use only liquid diluted fabric softener. Pour into dispenser, using
amount recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It may stain them.
3
Add water to dispenser until it reaches the maximum fill line.
4
Select Deep Rinse option.
Note: Fabric softener may not dispense properly if the Deep Rinse
option is not selected.
Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)
Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the bleach
dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach manufacturer’s
recommendations for the correct amount of liquid chlorine bleach
based on load size, taking care to not apply or spill it directly on
clothing.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments
such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Liquid Bleach
Place laundry pretreatments, such as an Oxi product, directly in the
bottom of the wash basket before loading clothes.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry pretreatments
such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
Pretreatment
ONLY this
portion of the
dispenser is
visible once
installed into
agitator
Do not pour anything into the agitator
if the agitator cap or dispenser is
removed.
10
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be
replaced every 5 years.
Water Supply Hoses
Ask the service technician to remove water from
drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer
where it will be exposed to the weather.
Moving and Storage
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain
all water from hoses and water filter pump area if
weather will be below freezing.
Long Vacations
Care and cleaning of the washer.
GEAppliances.com
Leave the lid open after washing to allow
moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
basket, use a clean soft cloth dampened with
liquid detergent; then rinse. (Do not use harsh or
gritty cleaners.)

end of cycle
Normal dispenser
operation
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in dispenser after the
cycle.
Short spray and delay
after pushing the Start
button
Lid was opened and closed
between cycle selection
and start
This is normal. See START-UP SEQUENCE in the Safety Instructions
section.
Water level seems low This is normal Water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal for this
high efficiency washer.
Low water flow Water valve screens are
stopped up
Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from
the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the
hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a
brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on.
Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.
Water siphoning out
of washer
Drain standpipe is too
low or hose too far into
standpipe
The drain hose must exceed 32” height at some point between
the washer back and the drain pipe. Use anti-siphon clip. See the
Installation Instructions.
Too many suds Soft water Try less detergent.
Too much detergent Measure your detergent carefully. Use less soap if you have soft water, a
smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
Type of detergent
