Posted .Hello - Thanks for bringing this to our attention. You may be using too much detergent if you notice that it's leaking. We recommend using less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or a lightly soiled load. Also, if you're not already using it, please switch to High Efficiency detergent such as Tide PODS™ and liquid detergents. We hope this information is helpful. Best wishes. -Don@GEA

Unhappy with how well it cleans white sheets
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very unhappy with this washing machine. Not sure what the problem is, but a load of white sheets just don't seem to get clean and we've had to washing them again at times. We certainly have not been overloading it, but we have tried to lower the loads to only 6 or 7 sheets and it still doesn't perform well for us. I can't say that I've noticed this with clothes using a normal setting vs the sheet/towel setting so perhaps I'll try that type and see if it makes a difference.

Posted .To improve wash performance, use the correct amount and type of detergent, load carefully, and select the right amount of water and settings for your load size. Keep the lid closed during the wash cycle. When cleaning your sheets, we recommend changing your water temperature to warm or hot if you aren't already. Step 1: Select the right amount and type of detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended amount for your load. Pre-treat stains if needed. If your washer has an infusor or precise-fill setting, you should use HE (High Efficiency) detergent. HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. Contrary to other applications, suds in a washing machine can reduce cleaning performance.
Step 2: Loosely load the clothing into the washer basket around of the outside of the basket. Pouring and/or compacting the load can lead to poor cleaning performance and increase wrinkling and tangling. Do not wrap items around the agitator just place the sheets inside.
Step 3: Close the lid. Select the settings for your washer cycle. Several washers can select the correct amount of water. Clothing that floats in the water may not get the optimum turnover to clean properly. Keep the lid closed during the entire wash cycle. Note: You may want to add a couple towels to the load and use an Oxi additive along with your detergent to help sanitize and get them cleaner.

Horrible Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item gave me problems twice in a month. The return process was an absolute disaster; and I have been waiting for nearly 3-4 weeks for my full refund. After going back and forth and best buy reps telling me they will call me back and they don’t, I had to dispute the amount through my best buy card. An absolute joke of a process all around and poor customer service.

Can't connect to WiFi with washer password

Posted .Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to reach out. Smart washers and dryers connect to WiFi in one of two ways: Bluetooth connection or by entering an assigned password. We will cover both processes below.
Open the SmartHQ app and sign in. From the Welcome screen, select your brand of appliance, appliance category, and the type of appliance you’re trying to connect. Make sure to allow location access if you're prompted on your smartphone.
Turn on the appliance and initiate the WiFi by following the directions on the SmartHQ app. Once activated on the appliance, the WiFi LED on the display will flash.
If you see a popup screen asking to pair the appliance (Bluetooth):
Select it from that popup and continue.
Choose your home WiFi network from the list.
Select it, enter your WiFi password, and click “Connect.”
If you're prompted to enter a password:
Find the Connected Appliance Info label on the appliance. The label contains the network name and password.
Type in the password from the Info label.
Go to your phone's WiFi settings and choose the network name found on the Info label. This will start communication between the SmartHQ app and the appliance.
When successful, the "Choose home network" screen will appear. Find your home WiFi network and enter your WiFi password to connect the device back to your home network. If you do not see your home network on the list of WiFi networks, choose the "Other" option and enter your network name yourself.
The connection process will begin. The WiFi LED on the washer will stop flashing and will remain solid. Your SmartHQ app will alert you that it’s Connected.
For some models, Bluetooth setup won’t be activated right away. You can manually input your washer or dryer's assigned password to begin the setup by following the "If you're prompted to enter a password" steps above.
For further assistance with the setup of your appliance, call the Connected Home Support Line at 1-800-220-6899, Monday -Friday 9am - 11pm ET, Saturday - Sunday 9am - 3pm ET. We hope this information is helpful. Best regards. -Don@GEA
