Q: QuestionMy washer doesn't seem to fill completely; and it also has a lot of time where it is idle. Is there something wrong?

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Ours never fills unless you are on the "bulky" setting. And when it seems idle, it is usually in 'soak' mode. This has been our experience. Hope this helps.

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.

Asked 2 years ago by MissyLi.

• A:Answer You can add it in the dry mix/powder location or right with your clithes. Some people premix water and baking soda and use the liquid section.

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 3 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
