Dispenser Drawer Area
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be
removed once or twice a month.
Remove the drawer by first pulling it out until it stops. Then reach back into the
left or right rear corner (depending on model) of the drawer cavity and press down
firmly on the lock tab, pulling out the drawer.
Remove the inserts from the bleach and fabric softener compartments and the
detergent insert. Rinse the inserts and the drawer with very warm water to remove
traces of accumulated laundry products.
To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess.
Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.
Return inserts to the proper compartments. Replace the dispenser drawer.
To reduce buildup in the Dispenser Drawer area:

Long Vacations
Be sure the water supply is shut off at the faucets. Drain all water from the hoses if the
weather will be below freezing.
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. When moving the washer, the tub
should be kept stationary by reinstalling the shipping bolts removed during installation.
See Installation Instructions in this book. If these parts are not available, they can be
ordered by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com or by calling 800.GE.CARES. In

press down the door gasket. Remove any
foreign objects if found trapped inside
the gasket. Make sure there is nothing
blocking the holes behind the gasket.
While holding down the door gasket,
inspect the interior gasket by pulling it
down with your fingers. Remove any
foreign objects if found trapped inside
this gasket. Make sure there is nothing
blocking the holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning the
door gasket, remove your hands and
the gasket will return to the operating
