“Does this machine allow you to soak a garment for as long as you want? I see there is an auto soak, and a pre-wash setting. What does the pre-wash do, does the lid lock or can you open it during the cycle and does the auto soak have a timed expiration and then drain? I'm looking for a machine that I can control and not one that controls me. I would love to be able to soak a garment overnight, check it a few times without a locked lid and then determine when it is ready. Thanks!”

All new machines will control you to a certain extend. You have to know how to bypass some of the settings. For soaking, after it fills with water, open the lid and let it like that for as long as you need. The lid does not lock.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, This is Joyce from GE. I will be happy to help. The Prewash cycle should be used for removing surface dirt from heavily soiled clothes. Make sure to reset the washer and choose your washer cycle selection when the Prewash cycle is complete. Note: The washer will not automatically continue into a regular cycle once the Prewash cycle is complete. You must reset the controls to the cycle you choose. The auto soak is approximately 30 minutes and then the washer goes into the cycle. If you want to soak your clothes overnight you would need to start the cycle, add detergent, let it fill and then press the start/pause button. As long as you come back to the unit within 24 hours this will work to soak your clothes. The washer will automatically drain after 24 hours. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a good day!
