A: The reason why the Deep Fill feature doesn't work is because it's a cheap GE product. I see the GE tech gave you an answer that the Deep Fill doesn't work on the Normal/Colors wash cycle; but the Deep Fill on my GE washer doesn't work on any cycle. And all this happened shortly after the warranty expired. Next time, when you get a new washer, don't get a GE. :)
Q: What are temperature differences of tap cool, cold, cool, colors?
A: Hello Mastodon, This is Joyce from GE Appliances. I will be happy to help! Temperature variation is approximately +/- 3 degrees. Tap Cold is the temperature out of the cold water faucet. Cold is 62 degrees and cool is 70 degrees. Colors is 75 degrees. Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a good day!
A: It will hold a king size comforter
Q: Does the lid lock during use? If so, can it be unlocked to add more clothes?
A: Hi- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your interest in our Top Load Washers! Yes, the lid lock engages when the washer is either load-sensing before and during fill, or when it is spinning above 50 RPM. To add items after washer has started, press Start/Pause if the lid is locked; wait until the Lid Lock indicator on the display is no longer illuminated before attempting to open the lid. Lift the lid and submerge additional items around the outside of the basket. Close the lid and press Start to resume. Pausing the machine during the spin cycle does unlock the lid, but the user must wait until the basket has completely coasted down to a stop before the lid unlocks, of course for safety reasons. We hope this is helpful. Thanks for checking with us!
A: Hello Speedy, Thank you for your question. New washers all use less water to comply with federal guidelines. However, some of the benefits of this model are as follows: ~Traditional agitator ~You have the option to control the load size ~You can select a deep rinse (which you will need) ~And, the best thing is you have a deep fill option. There are two ways Deep Fill can be used: •Add a little more water: Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add 3 gallons of water to the wash load. Once the washer has stopped filling, you can press it again to add 3 more gallons. •Full Tub Fill: Press and hold Deep Fill button for 3 seconds to fill the washer to the maximum water level. It will fill to approximately 26 gallons If you have any additional questions, we are always happy to help. Lisa from GE Appliances
Q: Is this machine an HE or aggitator style?
A: Hello, This model does have a dual action agitator. It provides better circulation and turnover of clothes than the flexcare agitator. The top half operates independent of the bottom half to help drive the clothes down into the water. The top 1/2 of the agitator rides on lubricated nylon bearings.
A: Hi djlg- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing! This washer features Precise Fill. This selection automatically provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type of load placed in the unit so no water is wasted. It also features our popular Deep Fill option. Select the Deep Fill feature for loads where extra water is needed. Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible. The Deep Fill button can also be pressed after the washer has completed filling and is in the wash phase if additional water is desired. The Speed Wash option is ideal for small loads of lighting soiled items that are needed in a hurry. Don't forget to view matching dryers GE® 7.2 CU. FT. CAPACITY ALUMINIZED ALLOY DRUM ELECTRIC DRYER WITH HE SENSOR DRY GTD45EASJWS / GE® 7.2 CU. FT. CAPACITY ALUMINIZED ALLOY DRUM GAS DRYER WITH HE SENSOR DRY GTD45GASJWS. We hope this is helpful. Keep in touch!
A: NO! This washer is very quiet. Unless you are standing quite close to it, you wouldn't know it was on. My laundry room is right nest to my kitchen perhaps 10 feet from my sink to the washer and I do not hear it at ll.
