  • Questiondoes the washer's lid lock?

    Asked by kelly.

    • Answer Hi Kelly - Thanks for your interest in GE GUD27ESSMWW! Yes, the washer has a security system that prevents opening the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone (especially children) from reaching into the washer while the basket is spinning. The lid lock will release within 5 seconds after the basket stops spinning. For reference, see page 7 of the Use and Care Guide: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90581-5.PDF - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com.

  • QuestionRE: Dedicates. My previous stackable had one speed for the agitator and simply washed dedicates in less time while frequently stopping the agitator which was harsh on the clothing. Does this machine have different agitator speeds? Explain in detail

    Asked by SpecialK.

    • Answer Hi SpecialK - The washer has 1 Wash/Spin Speed. Delicates is same speed as Whites / Colors, but with a softer agitation pattern. It reverses agitation direction less often (less strokes per minute) and turns in a smaller arc before reversing. We suggest to view page 7 of the Use and Care Manual for a description of each wash cycle: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90581-5.PDF - Keep in touch!

  • QuestionWhat is the total depth needed for this unit. We have a total depth from wall to door of 31 inches. Thanks JC

    Asked by JC.

    • Answer Hi JC - The unit is 30 7/8" deep. For side venting, 3 additional inches of room depth are needed versus the unit depth shown in the manual. The vent needs to go down first and then to the left or to the right. One elbow (plus the straight ductwork) is enough to make the side venting.

  • QuestionHow many years does this unit las?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi - Thanks for your interest! It is not possible to determine the product failure rate, lifespan,life expectancy, or life cycle of an appliance, even an approximate age. There are many variables involved, like: frequency of use, type of use, location of appliance (ex. high humidity; near the ocean; etc.), care, and maintenance. We are very interested in supplying consumers with a quality product that delivers the expected performance. You should expect many years of service from your GE Unitized Laundry Center.

  • Questiondoes it need power cord for washer side

    Asked by home.

    • Answer Hi - 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 240V or 208V 30-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. The 240/208V will power the dryer, and the unit internally steps it down to 110/120V for the washer. The power cord is sold separately.

  • QuestionWhen I place an average size load in the dryer and select timed dry, the dryer will only run for about 7-10 minutes and then shuts off. When it cools down, it can be restarted. Isn’t it just supposed to turn off the heat and keep the air and drum moving?

    Asked by JanRob.

    • Answer Hi JanRob - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your dryer. If the dryer shuts off prematurely, it may be overheating. We suggest to check the venting system. It may be restricted, incorrect type or too long.

  • QuestionWhat is the highest air temperature in the dryer in each of the four cycles--Cottons, Easy Care, Delicates, and Timed? I am noticing cleaning instructions on labels that say to dry at a certain temperature or no higher than a certain temperature.

    Asked by Elle.

    • Answer Hi Elle - Thanks for your interest in GE! The internal temperature of a dryer may be affected by several variables. Some of these variables are: 1. Load Size and Dampness. The combination of these two factors determines the amount of Heat Sink. Heat Sink is the cooling action taking place when the clothes give up their moisture to the hot air stream that is flowing through the dryer drum. 2. Room Temperature. A dryer pulls air in and heats it up to help dry the clothes. Hence, the air temperature of the room may effect the outgoing temperature in the dryer. 3. Air Flow. Restrictions in air flow such as long vents, vinyl flexible ductwork, or lint build up will cause heat to rise rather than following its designed air flow pattern. When this occurs, safety thermostat(s) will sense the high temperature building within the drum and cycle the heat source off until the excessive temperature has subsided. Following temperatures represents outlet thermostat set points and not the air temperature in the drum. Medium and High Heat have the same outlet thermostat temperature set points however, their technical applications are different: Low Heat (Delicate/Gentle): 125°F; Medium Heat Permanent Press) 135°F; High (Normal/Cottons) 135°F. Timed Dry will automatically dry on High Heat.

  • QuestionWhat to do when your washer lights turn on but then it turns off right away and the dryer stop working .so now nothing is working.

    Asked by Summer.

    • Answer Hi Summer - Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your GE laundry center. We suggest to reset the electronics. Unplug washer, wait 2 minutes, plug back in and press Start. If you still have difficulty, make sure cord is plugged securely into a working outlet. Turn power off at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. 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.

  • QuestionI just brought a stackable model GUD27ESPMDG and the knob to the washer is very loose but yet won't start. Dryer works. What should I do?

    Asked by PC.

    • Answer Hi PC - Thanks for choosing GE. We are sorry to hear of the difficulty with the washer. Turn the WASHER CYCLES knob to “wake up” the washer before each use. The LED lights will turn on when the washer is awake and ready to use. Select desired wash cycle, close the lid and press the Start button. If the Status lights are blinking, the operation of the washer has been paused. To resume operation press the Start button (the lid must be closed). The lid must be closed to continue filling when Precise Fill is selected. Here's the link to the Owner's Manual: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-90581-3.pdf - For further assistance, we encourage you to contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or conveniently schedule an appointment online at GEAppliances.com/service - We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
