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: 

Hoses connecting washer to faucet should

be replaced every 5 years.

Lint Filter: 

The lint filter is located under the agitator.

It is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance.

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. Do not

store the washer where it will be exposed to the

weather. Call the GE Answer Center®, 800.626.2000

for information on how to keep the tub stationary

when moving the washer.

Long Vacations: 

Be sure water supply is shut off at

faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will 

be below freezing.
