• 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

Q: QuestionWhat is the maximum noise level produced by this machine? The one I just purchased seems unusually loud for a GE Profile Product.

Asked 3 years ago by DRSMSS.

• 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

Q: QuestionI see from other questions that this is an issue. We have tried the tangle control setting to almost no effect. We live in a drought area so using a deep fill to resolve the issue is unacceptable. Our old machine never had this problem. Other ideas?

Q: QuestionI have “605” series washer. Can’t get a warm wash except for the Quick Wash cycle. Tech said the sensor turns off hot water valve prematurely as my water heater setting is too high. Tech said to lower water heater temp, but still can not get a warm wash.

Asked 2 years ago by TOOTHFAIRY0912.

This question was asked about the related product: GE Profile - 4.9 Cu. Ft. High Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer with Smarter Wash Technology, Easier Reach & Microban Technology - White

• A:Answer Hi - Based on the installation instructions, we recommend the hot water coming into the washer be between 120°F - 150°F. With the incoming water in this temperature range, the washer should bring in a mix of hot and/or cold water to reach the target temperature of approximately 90°F for the warm wash setting. If you followed the prior technician's recommendation and turned down your water heater and the issue persists, it should be re-checked. We recommend calling GE Appliances service at 1-800-432-2737 to schedule an appointment for service. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Wishing you all the best! Vikki@GEA
