“Hello. Does this unit have a water screen/filter at the bottom front like a typical front loader? If so, is it easily accessible to drain without making a mess? This question derives from my current front loader(not GE) and is not user friendly filter.”

Hey there, and thanks for reaching out with this great question – we appreciate your interest in our UltraFast Combo! Like other front load units, our model does have a pump filter to capture lost items and items that may cause clogs, so they aren’t dumped into the drain. Our pump filter is indeed easily accessible! You would simply open the access door (located at the bottom front) using a small flathead screwdriver or coin and place a shallow pan/dish under the pump access door and towels on the floor (as it’s normal to catch about a cup of water when the filter is removed). Then pull down the pour spout, turn the pump filter counterclockwise and remove it slowly, controlling the flow of the draining water. Once you've removed the filter and cleaned any debris, you can replace it and turn clockwise, tightening securely. Flip up the pour spout and close the access door by hooking the bottom tabs first, then rotate the door shut. This process is described on page 21 of the manual; if viewing that may be helpful, you can check out the manual on our GE Appliances website when you look up the model number and go to the product page. We hope this information is helpful! If you have any other questions or concerns, we’re always happy to offer assistance. All the best! -Sarah@GEA
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes there is a drain access panel located on the lower front right hand side of the unit. I have a drain pan underneath mine and that will work for me. If you don't have a drain pan, you'd need to improvise some sort of water collection mechanism, yes.
