A:AnswerHi Sandi- This is Sue at GE Appliances. We are excited to hear of your interest! The washer is equipped with Deep Fill option. Deep Fill is available on all wash cycles except the Normal/Colors cycle due to 2016 Department of Energy regulations. There are two ways Deep Fill can be used:
Add a little more water: Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add 3 gallons of water to the wash load. Once the washer has stopped filling, you can press it again to add 3 more gallons. Full Tub Fill: Press and hold Deep Fill button for 3 seconds to fill the washer to the maximum water level. It will fill to approximately 26 gallons with Deep Fill. Also, the dual action agitators powerful reversing wash action rotates your laundry through the water for a thorough clean. This system requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may
notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerIf I read correctly in the manual, you can use regular detergent. However you have to reduce the amount by 50% (cut it in half) to avoid on overabundance of suds.
A:AnswerI have not experienced any odor problems with this machine. I had heard about odor problems with the front loaders, that is why I specifically chose a top load machine. I have had it for 4 months now and, so far, the only thing that stinks are the dirty clothes going in. Smells clean and fresh coming out.
A:AnswerHi Tia- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our Top Load Washers. Yes, the washer pump will pump water at a rate of 15 gallons per minute. 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. Thanks for checking with us!
A:AnswerHaving worked for Best Buy in the past, there practice is to limit the amount of inventory of bulky, high priced items like appliances to conserve space and reduce costs. Ordinarily, the product is available at the distribution centers where home deliveries are scheduled. Home deliveries are scheduled based on the areas being serviced and the amount of installations scheduled on a given day. In some cases, you can arrange to pick up the product from the distribution warehouse. You would need to discuss this option with a sales associate or manager on duty. Also, they sometimes are able to sell the floor model at a reduced price, thereby, saving you some money and wait time.
A:AnswerHello Minnie, This is Joyce from GE Appliances. I will be happy to help! This washer is 44 inches in height x 27 inches in width and 27 inches in depth. It is 4.2 DOE cubic Ft. Thanks so much for checking with us. Have a great day!
A:AnswerThis washer doesn't deep fill. It's supposed to add 3 gallons with a deep fill each time you hit the deep fill option. We added buckets of water by hand for months. We gave up on that and decided to use a garden hose. The problem with that is once you fill it to much it drains ALL the water out of the tub. Get rid of it if you can.
A:AnswerThe hot water is only as high as your hot water heater is set to. It is pretty hot for me because I don't have kids who would get burned accidentally washing hands or showers. It also has a warm setting. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerHi Annie- Thanks for considering GE! Maximum Spin Speed is 800 RPM to extract more moisture from fabrics, saving dry time and energy. This washer also features our popular Deep Fill option. Customize your water-fill levels with just the touch of a button. Add a little extra or fill the tub to wash the way you want.

A:AnswerWhy the manufacturer designed it w/o a detergent dispenser, I do not know. It does, however, provide for dispensing fabric softener if you so choose. I suppose with the introduction of detergent pods, they did not see the necessity.
