A:AnswerHi - The washer has auto-load sensing with 4 water levels. The washer will automatically measure the load size and add just the right amount of water (Precise Fill auto-load sensing) or choose your own- Small, Medium, Large, Super. For reference, see page 8 of the Owner's Manual ("E" Load Size): https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90581-3.pdf - New GE Appliances washer models meet or exceed the latest energy and water efficiency requirements. Therefore, you may notice that your washer fills with less water than your prior model did. This is normal. GE Appliances washers are designed for and are thoroughly tested using modern water levels and will provide the exceptional cleaning you have come to expect from GE Appliances. Keep in touch! Sue
A:AnswerHi ML- Unitized washer dryer units only have one power cord. There is not a separate cord for the washer and the dryer. Electric Models should be connected to a dedicated 120/240V 30-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. The 240V will power the dryer, and the unit internally steps it down to 110/120V for the washer. The power cord should be purchased separately. Here is the link to the Installation Guide: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-16781-3.pdf - Keep in touch! Sue
A:AnswerHi- Models with Precise Fill (load sensing) will lock during the load sensing period and during the spin cycle. Pausing the machine will allow you to open the lid. During the spin cycle, pausing the washer does unlock the lid, but you must wait until the basket has completely coasted down to a stop before the lid unlocks, for safety reason.

A:AnswerHi Robbie- We suggest to remove the detergent pod to ensure it does not create any issues. See WASHERS HOW TO REMOVE FRONT PANEL 1995 TO CURRENT MODELS: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16707 - You can also contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or conveniently schedule an appointment online at GEAppliances.com - Sue
A:AnswerYes, the actual unit is just under 27" wide.
But, be careful - - there is a rod near the bottom that protects the washer during shipping that sticks out enough to cause a problem with so little clearance.
By removing the rod, you will be able to make it, but be sure you treat the unit gently at that point to prevent internal damage during final positioning.
Good luck!
A:AnswerHi JA- This appliance should be connected to an individual, properly-grounded branch circuit with 240V or 208V single-phase 60 Hz electrical service and should be protected by 30-amp time-delay fuses or circuit breakers KW Rating per voltage (240/208). Power cord should be purchased separately. See Installation Guide: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=31-16781-3.pdf - Keep in touch! SUE@GEA
A:AnswerYou will need a cold water and hot water faucet because the washer blends the two while operating, Good luck with this, but you'll probably need to call a plumber
A:AnswerI repair dryers and if you take apart a dryer timer and turn the shaft it is obvious that although you can turn it in either direction it doesnt really like counter clockwise. Going counter clockwise will shorten the life of the timer. If you go past the setting you wish to select just continue around another turn.
A:AnswerHi Coastalk - The height to the center of opening of dryer is approximately 62 1/2". We suggest to view the Quick Specs for additional product dimensions: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=GUD27ESSM_27GSSM_C3_17.pdf - Thanks for considering GE!
