Hotpoint - 3.8 Cu. Ft. Top Load Washer - White on White with Silver
- Key Specs
- Color Finish: White
- Product Height: 44 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 27 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Height With Door Open: 54 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 3.8 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: false (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Agitator (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)
- Agitator Type: Triple-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)
- Washer Load Type: Top load
- App Compatible: false (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)

Q: Will this washer accommodate a King size comforter?
A: no way...I washed a twin and I put it thru 2 wash cycles to throughly clean it, but I had to adjust to deep rinse mode for fabric softener to get it to clean. the tub only fills up halfway. this is not a non he machine as they have it advertised. this is very much a he machine with no way of adding any additional water for larger loads.
Q: Hi, does this machine offer a feature to soak clothes overnight?
A: This washer was advertised as a non he washer. It is not...it has a automatic soak during the wash cycle. I would not recommend this washer . There is no way to add more water to the wash cycle and the tub only fills a third of the way up so you have to do small loads. It had a hard time washing a twin comforter. I have had it now a month and truly regret buying it. It is loud enough to be heard from the basement to the second floor. It does spin really well, but that's about it.
Q: Does this washer have an express wash? It takes a long time for a load of wash .
A: This washer does not have an express wash. While it will wash at a normal pace, the final spin cycle is fairly long, lasting nearly ten minutes. This long final spin cycle will get clothes really dry, reducing dryer time for clothes that are dryer safe. For anyone needing to wash clothes quickly, one would likely have to look at a GE model with express cycle in order to get clothes washed in under 25-30 minutes. Most of my loads take between 33-39 minutes to complete using this particular Hotpoint washer.
Q: Is there a place to empty any hair or lint that is caught during the wash cycle
A: Hello Dennis - Thank you for your question; we are glad to assist! The Fine Mesh Filters were removed from under the agitator of our new washers when it was found that a better pump and larger holes in the hub under the agitator did a better job of removing lint and preventing clogs in the drain system. The drain system allows water to flow through the basket and out the bottom of the tub pulling lint, hair, and small particles with the water. There is no maintenance required on this system, so there is not a way to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks for checking. Olga
Q: Will the water fill all the way to the top? Can I wash a king size blanket in it?
A: If you select the bulky items and super load, it will wash king size bedding. I’ve washed my down company store king down comforter- got it thoroughly clean. I’ve washed quilts etc. no problem. Always stays balanced.
Q: Can you wash a queen size quilt in this washer
A: Hi - Thanks for viewing Hotpoint Model HTW240ASKWS! Yes, the washer can accommodate a queen size quilt. Keep in touch at hotpoint.com. Enjoy! Sue
Q: Where is this washer built?
A: My owners manual and Hotpoint washer say it is made in the USA. It is made in Louisville, Kentucky at the GE appliance factory. Hotpoint is actually a GE product, and is made at the same plant as some of the GE washers.
Q: I have a couple of questions. How can I presoak my clothes? Which is the fastest cycle?
A: Hey there, Thanks for your question. This washer doesn't have a soak setting where you can set how long your clothes soak. The best way to achieve this is once the washer fills, then pause the washer. Please note that the washer will drain after 15 minutes with the lid open or 24 hours with the lid closed. The fastest cycle on this washer is the delicates cycle. Let us know if you have any other questions. Stay well. Mike@GEA
