  • Key Specs
    • 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: 56 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 4.8 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: true (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: Impeller (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.)

    • Detergent Dispenser Type: Single load (Single load dispensers hold enough liquid detergent for a single cycle and must be refilled after each use. A multiple load dispenser holds enough for multiple cycles before it is necessary to refill the detergent. The exact number of cycles completed before refilling will vary as machines with multiple load dispensers will calculate and dispense detergent automatically based on load size and other user preferences such as concentration level.)

Q: Will the water keep running if I open the lid while it is filling? That is how I like to pretreat stains in my old GE. Also do I have the option on this model to add more water or is it only auto fill.

A: Hello Jan - Thank you for the excellent question. With the lid up, the washer will not fill. The unit uses auto-fill which senses the size of the load and adds water accordingly. To add water, press the Deep Fill button to add 3 gallons of water or hold the button to achieve the maximum fill level. Using the Stain Removal guide will also add water, soak, and agitate the load according to the type of stain selected. - JB

Q: Do I have to hook up GE top load washer model number GTW720BSNWS? Or, can I use it without the WiFi? Thank you, Martha R. Megas

A: I've had this washer for about 6 weeks and I haven't hooked it up to wifi. Everything works fine without it

Q: you say this matches the dryer GTD72BSBNWS, but the dimensions are not the same and the dryer is 46" high while this washer is 44". Does this mean they wont align when side-by-side?

A: Hello and thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. The correct height for this washer is 46". The height from the floor to the top of the control panel is 46" on both the washer and dryer. We apologize for the error on Best Buy's page. - John@GEAppliances

Q: where is the machine manufactured

A: Hi there! We appreciate your question. We found that this unit is manufactured in the United States. We hope this helps. Emily@GEA

Q: No power cord? are you kidding

A: Hi cass, thanks for reaching out! We'd like to clear this up for you. With the exception of electric unitized washer/dryer units, washers are factory equipped with power cords. Washers should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. For safety, we don't recommend using an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. A top load washer's power cord is approximately 5 ft long. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael@GEA

Q: WHAT IS THE DEPTH OF THE STAINLESS STEEL TUB?

A: 20 inches. This can hold two huge comforters nicely.

Q: Does it have an end-of-cycle buzzer?

A: Hi, Good question! We're glad you reached out to us and we'd be more than happy to provide you with an answer. We found this model does have an end of cycle signal. You can find more information on this feature in the link below: (Page 12) https://files.bbystatic.com/kxcQ6f0wvgtOX2Gz2n%2FdJg%3D%3D/f71a5bef-5330-4611-966f-a20a7a11106d.pdf Hope this helps! -Sylvia@GEA
