Q: QuestionCan this washer accommodate bed comforters?

Asked 1 year ago by Yorkiemom.

• A:Answer Comforters, like blankets, and sheet sets need to be washed occasionally, so the question of whether the washer can handle a large load like this can come up. Most large comforters and blankets will wash properly in our washers. If you can't test whether the item physically fits, consider the thickness, density, and overall size of the item. A comforter that is smaller, but very thick and full can be harder to wash than a large, thin blanket in some cases. Did your comforter fit into your previous washer? If so, compare the cubic foot capacity of your existing model to what this model offers at 4.5 cubic feet.

Q: QuestionJust bought this washer and I’m already struggling with it not draining. Do you have any tips and tricks on how to fix this?

Asked 9 months ago by Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

• A:Answer The drain hose could be kinked or improperly connected. Try to straighten the drain hose and make sure washer is not sitting on it. The top of drain outlet should be less than 8 ft (2.44 m) above floor. If this doesn't prove helpful, we recommend scheduling a service appointment for one of our Bodewell technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 1-800-432-2737. -Don@GEAppliances
