Q: QuestionI'm looking to purchase a new washer. I'm wondering how would I add baking soda to the wash? I see that i can add Vinegar to the custom add in the flex dispense but wondering about baking soda? I have a front loader now and i pour both into the drum.

Q: QuestionHow do I unlock the control panel in this model? The user's guide tells you to hold 2 buttons down for 3 seconds, and one of those buttons does not exist on this model. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in but cannot get the machine to restart.

Q: QuestionWhy is Door lock not locking?

Asked 2 years ago by Patty.

• A:Answer Hello- Thank you for your question. We are sorry to hear your door isn't locking. During the load sensing portion of the cycle, the lid will lock and "SEnSing" will scroll across the display. When load sensing is complete, the lid will unlock. If that isn't happening for you, we recommend resetting the electronics by unplugging the washer for a couple minutes. If you still have issues, please take advantage of your warranty and reach out to GE Consumer Service at 1-800-432-2737. Thank you! Joyce@GEA

Q: QuestionHow do you just rinse and spin on this machine?

Asked 2 years ago by seashell.

• A:Answer Hi - Thank you for having purchased this wonderful Profile clothes washer. On top-load washers with only a Drain & Spin cycle, you can still achieve a Rinse & Spin by selecting Drain & Spin and choosing the Deep Rinse option. We do hope you find this helpful. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA

Both products are backed by GE Appliances which is headquartered in Louisville, Ky. should you need assistance. Kind regards - Vikki@GEA

Q: QuestionIs there a link to documentation on the various cycle parameters? I’d like to know the default water temp for wash and rinse, cycle time, spin, etc for each of the preprogrammed cycles.

Asked 3 years ago by Sauce.

• A:Answer Hi, and thank you for reaching out to us. Not all models have temperature management system listed in the features for that model. These washers do add hot and cold water as appropriate to meet an approximate temperature range; however, this can vary by model. On these models, we cannot provide specific target temperatures. In general, non-Energy Star models that do not have a temperature management system the target temperature for hot water is approximately 90-100 degrees (+/- 10 degrees) if the incoming water temperature is 135F. We hope this helps. Have a great day. -Mel@GEA

• A:Answer Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. We do not rate the sound level of our washers, which means we are unable to provide a decibel level while they are running. If you feel your washer is too loud or is making an unusual sound, please refer to pg 28 of the owner’s manual that gives you an overview of sounds you should expect from this washer https://files.bbystatic.com/txbY%2Bk58fhyGs6PzvWUnyw%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual I hope you find this information helpful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.- Don@GEA
