A:AnswerHi Jojoba- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for choosing our GE Series Model GTW330ASKWW! We are sorry to hear of the drain issue and glad to help. If your top-load washer is not draining, we suggest to view the following troubleshooting link for tips: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=23080 - Select the Drain & Spin cycle to drain the basket and spin water out of the washer basket. Also, if an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle. For reference , see pages 13 and 23 of the Owner's Manual: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90576.pdf - If you need further assistance, we encourage you to contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or conveniently schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/service/ - We are confident our factory-trained technicians can resolve any issues to your satisfaction.

A:AnswerHi Gary- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing! The Temperature options are Tap Cold, Cold, Cool, Colors, Warm and Hot. Heating water in your home uses energy. To conserve energy, new washers are designed to limit the amount of hot water used by adding some cold water to the fill when you select HOT water. This allows the washer to fill without causing your water heater to need to replenish as much hot water, which reduces the amount of energy used by the water heater. Effective March 6, 2015: The U.S. Department of Energy revised their standards and federal guidelines for hot water energy consumption for all clothes washers. These changes affect all washer manufacturers in order to save energy and conserve resources. All manufacturers must comply with the new standards. We are committed to meet the Federal energy standards and deliver a product that upholds GE Appliances wash performance standards. To comply with these standards, HOT water temperature selection is a mixture of hot and cold water from your household plumbing. When you select HOT, you will receive some cold water with the fill; this is normal. Since the appliance is designed to fill with limits on the amount of hot water filling the appliance, it is not recommended that the cold water supply be turned off during a HOT water fill. The appliance is designed to fill with a mixture of hot and cold water to save energy, and is operating normally when doing so. Additionally, new laundry detergent is formulated to work with any water temperature for wash performance. For best wash performance, we recommend HE (high-efficiency) Detergents and Oxi Detergents. Look for "HE" and/or "OXI" listed on the package and follow package instructions for best results. Also, check out matching GE® 7.2 CU. FT.

A:AnswerHi Josh- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your purchase! Any time the washer is being started or restarts after the washer lid has been opened and closed, the washer will turn on the cold water valve for two short periods followed by a 10 second pause before continuing. If the lid is opened during this period, the washer will pause. You will have to push the Start button again to restart the cycle. Also, the washer will automatically drain any time the lid is left open for more than 15 minutes and water is present. To reset the electronics, unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press Start. If you need further assistance, we encourage you to contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or conveniently schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/service/ - We hope this is helpful.

A:AnswerHi Dee- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our Top Load Washers! The lid lock engages when it is spinning above 50 RPM. You cannot set the washer to lock for the entire cycle. 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. Depending upon the speed at which the washer was spinning when it is paused and also depending upon the size of the load being washed, it could take as much as 3 minutes to coast to a stop and then unlock. The lock feature cannot be disabled. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHi numbergirl22- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for your interest! The average wash cycle time (Colors Normal Cycle) for this model is approximately 45 minutes. This assumes a Medium water level selection, Warm wash water selection, and no options selected. The Speed Cycle wash time (no options) is approximately 23 minutes. We hope this is helpful. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHello Grammie1- I am happy to help. In order for the drain hose to function properly, the drain must be at least 30" from the floor and less than 8 feet high. Our compact washers will pump up to 5 ft. The flow rate of the pump is dependent upon the height of the drain pipe. For each 1 foot of additional drain pipe height, the flow rate will be reduced by approximately 1 gallon per minute.
The washer pump will pump water at a rate of 15 gallons per minute. I hope this helps. Thank you for checking with us.

A:AnswerHello Moparmutt, I am happy to help. It can depend as to when you open it during the cycle. On this unit you can manually choose the desired water levels; Small, Regular, Large, Super. It also features a Deep Fill Rinse option. When selected, the deep rinse cycle ensure clothes are rinsed of soap residue and fabric softener. Are you clothes coming out wet and clean? If not, please contact service at 800.432.2737. Thanks for checking with us! Lisa from GE Appliances.
A:AnswerHello Whychange,
I am happy to help. The depth of the GTW330 basket (tub) is about the same; approximately 19”.
With the overall trend towards larger washer capacities, the baskets (tubs) must get deeper in order for the overall width of the washer to remain 27” so that the washer fits within the majority of current installation spaces.
Thank you for checking with us.
Lisa from GE Appliances.
A:AnswerHello Luzenka - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. The washer will fill with water when the lid is opened; however, it may not be able to sense the load properly with regard to load size and temperature. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!
