  • QuestionI notice these seem to use very little water. Just enough to wet everything. Is this correct, or is something wrong?

    Asked by DryWash.

    • Answer Hi - Thanks for choosing GE! Horizontal (Front Load) washers do not require the tub to fill with water like top-load washers. Front loading washers uses load sensing and adaptive water fill to provide just the right amount of water for best performance and low water usage. The wash basket will turn briefly and assess the weight of the load. It will also do this after the load is saturated with water to assess how absorbent the load is. With the load weight and load type we can apply the proper amount of water to wash the load. Keep in touch! Sue

  • QuestionHow do I get rid of water remaining after wash cycle?

    Asked by Mickey.

    • Answer Hi Mickey - To achieve a drain and spin, select the Rinse & Spin cycle and then deselect the Extra Rinse option (See page 9 of the Owner's Manual). If your front-load washer is not draining or is draining slowly, make sure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. The drain hose goes into a standpipe, drain or other household plumbing .Remove the drain hose and pour a quart of water into the standpipe or drain. If water will not drain, a plumber is recommended. Make sure the washer is not trying to drain more than 8 ft. higher than the floor. The washer pump filter may be clogged. It is possible for small items from clothing or from pockets to pass to the drain pump. The washer does have a filter to capture these lost items so that they are not dumped into the plumbing or drain; however, if the items are captured by the filter, they cause a clog that can slow or prevent water from draining during the cycle.

  • QuestionWill this wash a 2' x 3' bath mat occasionally, or will that break this machine?

    Asked by InformationPlease.

    • Answer Hi - The washer can accommodate machine washable bath mats. Check the bath mat label for instructions. The Bulky Items cycle is recommended for large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags, and similar large bulky items. The machine will slow the spin speed down to 410 rpm if it has a hard time balancing the load. If this happens you may need to add a few items such as towels. Thanks for choosing GE! Sue

  • QuestionIs this a low water level washer or does the tub fill up completely? Thanks.

    Asked by Phoenix.

    • Answer I sat and watched it work when I first brought it home. It never seemed to fill up at all. It was cleaning more like a shower than a bath.

  • QuestionHi what is the bedding capacity? Can this machine wash king size comforter?

    Asked by Kat.

    • Answer Hi Kat - Thanks for considering GE Model # GFW450SSMWW! Yes, the spacious 4.5 tub can accommodate king size comforters. Most comforters will wash properly in our front load washers as long as the comforter fits behind the washer tub gasket and is not stuffed into the tub tightly. The thickness, density, and overall size of the comforter should be taken in account when deciding whether to wash the comforter in a washer. We suggest to view additional "Loading Examples" on page 12 of the Use and Care Guide at this link: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90583-2.pdf - We’d love to have you in the family.

  • QuestionHow quiet is the washer and dryer- ge45essmww

    Asked by Rosieb.

    • Answer Hi Rosieb - Thanks for your interest in GE® Front Load ENERGY STAR® Washer with Steam GFW450SSMWW and GE® Front Load Electric Dryer with Steam GFD45ESSMWW. Front Load models are considered quiet-by-design. The washer adaptive spin system can quickly recognize out of balance loads and adjust spin patterns to reduce vibration. Vibration Control will provide the optimal in spin performance. We do not rate the sound level of our washers, which means we are unable to provide a decibel level while they are running.

  • QuestionIs this washer door swing to the left or right

    Asked by Vincent.

    • Answer Hello Vincent - Thank you for your question; we are happy to help! Front-load washers have the hinge on the left side of the door and open to the left only. They do not have reversible doors because of the electronics involved with the door lock mechanism. We hope this information is helpful. We appreciate your interest! Thanks for checking. Olga
