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).

You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

Troubleshooting Tips
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.
Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. See the Installation Instructions packed with product for information on how to reinstall the shipping rod
to keep the tub stationary when moving the washer. For more information, visit GEAppliances.com or call 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737). Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
