Hi Txmom - Thanks for reaching out to us and for choosing GE! We are happy to help and apologize for any confusion on adding prewash. On this model, there is only a single manual compartment for dispensing detergent when not using Smart Dispense. PreWash on this model needs Smart Dispense enabled because of this and it will use detergent from detergent tank for both PreWash and the main wash sub-cycles. A non-detergent additive could also be used if desired during the PreWash by placing it in the detergent single dispense compartment. It will then be flushed during the PreWash fill at a similar time that the detergent is being put in from the Smart Dispense system. There will be a drain and short spin at the conclusion of PreWash before the main wash sub-cycle begins. Fresh detergent from the Smart Dispense system will be put into the machine as part of the main wash fill. We hope this is helpful. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com. Enjoy! Sue
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The prewash uses the detergent from the main detergent container, the machine chooses how much detergent to release depending on which wash type you select
