A:AnswerHi there - Great question! We comply with all federal, state and international requirements regarding hazardous substances and meet those standards. We also comply with federal and state chemical labeling laws, like California Proposition 65. The presence of a Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean the product is unsafe or poses a health risk. Over 800 chemicals are on this list, including wood dust, nickel (found in stainless steel), nicotine, and alcohol. Additionally, even inaccessible parts can cause the warning. We can understand your concern; however, we do not provide detailed information about what causes the Prop 65 warning to apply. Thanks for checking! -Mikayla@GEA
A:AnswerHello Rob - We appreciate the interest in this excellent washer. The highest temperature the unit will reach is approximately 145 degrees F on the Sanitization cycle. The sanitization metric is based on the amount of time above a minimum organism killing temperature – in this case 131F (55C). The GFW850 spends >30 minutes above the minimum 131F temperature, surpassing the criteria. Please let us know if you have any more questions. - John@GEA
A:AnswerHello Dick - Thank you for reaching out about our magnificent new washer. We will be happy to help.
The 1 Step wash and dry setting is intended for small loads to complete over night. This setting will add 8 hours to whatever cycle it is selected on. The clothes will tumble dry as the unit blows air around them. We hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions. - JB
A:AnswerHi there Nursecathy123cat,
Thank you for reaching out. Great question.
Most GE washers provide cold rinse water for all three wash temperatures which saves energy without decreasing rinsability. Cold water helps to cut sudsing action and assists in detergent removal. Many detergent manufacturers recommend a cold rinse for these reasons. Some models have a warm rinse capability that is normally used when a hot wash was selected. The only benefit of the warm rinse is the water extraction is about 5% better than w/cold rinse (clothes will take just a slight less time to dry when using a warm rinse). But the energy savings of a cold rinse well outweighs the cost of the slight extra dry time. This model does not have a warm rinse option. Hope this helps. Best wishes. Mike@GEA

A:AnswerIf the question is referring to model GFW850SPN0DG, then the answer is no as this washer and matching dryer have built in WIFI. You only need the GE app on your smartphone and a home WIFI network to connect the machines as well as the GENEVA voice skill on ALEXA to make it really convenient.

A:AnswerYou select the Rinse & Spin cycle then hold the Extra Rinse button down till the light goes off then press the start button it will do a spin and drain.
A:AnswerI am having this same problem. My clothes loads almost feel damp when washing. my one or two rugs are soaked and even after doing an extra spin cycle. This isn’t a pump problem, there is something going on with washing rugs.
A:AnswerI can't seem to turn it on with the app, i wish i could, and i wish it would just start automatically right after a cycle ends so to keep laundry fresh. My LG washer and dryer both had extended tumble type settings and these unfortunately do not, a glaring huge error and step backwords in my book.

A:AnswerI think Cher is asking if and how it can be shut off AFTER initial setup.
Cher you can presumably use/download your internet provider's app e.g. Xfinity that allows you to see all devices in the house that use wifi and then you can pick and choose which device to turn off from there, including the laundry machines.
A:AnswerIn response to the official response to this question...I am staring at my dryer manual right now and the "My Settings" section is missing the "(on some models)" text. Therefore, it seems completely logical that we all would expect it to be available. And, what a completely lame thing to leave off a "smart" dryer. The inability to customize it is not very smart at all.
A:AnswerThere are 3 settings for the chime volume and a no chime option as well. I don't think the chime is loud enough but I wonder if you accidently turned it off.
