- A: AnswerWhen you turn the knob to Rinse and Spin, the “Extra Rinse” button illuminates. Press that Extra Rinse button to turn off the rinse feature and the machine will spin without adding extra water. Here’s the title of a YouTube video we (FixThisHouse channel) created to show how this is done: “GE UltraFresh washer: GE UltraFresh Vent washer - how to Spin setting only, clothes washer“ Hope that helps!

Q: QuestionAre these units stackable?(7 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the instructions are included in the dryer installation manual. Also, both doors are reversible. The Geek Squad guy that did our install tried to tell me that they couldn't be, but after he left and I read the instructions, both doors can be flipped.Answered by MontanaMike

Best Purchase Ever!!!
I love this washer. First of all you can connect it to the GE app and get notifications when there’s 5 minutes left and when the load is done. My washer is in the basement so it saves me a trip downstairs. I have a google home smart home and it can be connected there as well. I love how the washer is so silent when is going through the cycles ( you practically can’t hear it). The features are really easy to use and it has a light feature so you can check inside whenever you want. Best part of it is that the spin cylcle is so good that when it’s ready to put the clothes in the dryer, they are basically not damp anymore. Definitely would recommend to everyone!!!

Best washer ever!!!
One of the best washing machines I’ve ever owned. This is also the only washer that I’ve seen that has a venting function on it to help it dry out and prevent mold from forming, plus then you also don’t need to leave the door open to dry. For any of you that have pets know if you leave the door open those pets will try to get in there, so this way you don’t have to worry about that. It also has multiple other settings like steam, delicate, bulky bedding, etc… I also like it because when it does need to be cleaned everything is easy and at the front of the washer so you don’t need to pull it out for maintenance cleaning. That’s 2 big thumbs up for that one.

New GE Washer
So far we LOVE this washer! It’s very efficient, quiet and allows us to do more laundry in a much shorter amount of time. The self dispensing detergent feature is really nice because there’s no risk of adding in more than needed. This washer also has a wifi feature that I don’t need, but love that I have it! It sends messages a few minutes before the cycle ends, once I is completed and again 30 minutes after the cycle ends. So for someone like me who gets distracted working on other things and ends up having to rewash loads of clothes- that won’t be an issue. The app also allows you to start and stop the washer. I also love its self cleaning feature and the fact that it vent itself. I haven’t tried the wash-dry cycle yet but I’m sure we will one day. This is a wonderful appliance so far, it’s helping my family stay caught up on laundry!
