Sorting Wash Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)

Proper use of detergent

Add detergent and fabric softener before adding items so that the detergent can work effectively. 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.

and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).

GE recommends the use of High Efficiency detergents in all Energy Star rated washers. 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.

Troubleshooting

Care and cleaning of the washer.

Wash Basket: 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.)

Fill Hoses: GE recommends changing the hoses every 5 years.

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Interior: The occasional use of a cycle that contains bleach will keep the inside of the washer clean.

Glass Lid: Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with vinegar and water solution.

Note: Do not use any cleaners that contain ammonia.

Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses.
