Getting started
Automatic Load Sensing
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 Infusor 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 Infusor-equipped
washer.
Liquid Bleach
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.
Pretreatment
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.
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 blinking 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 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 Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or
not entering coming back from vacation? As soon as the light starts to flash, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out
washer) 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 GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.
