READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Ŷ Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Ŷ Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
Ŷ DO NOT wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
Ŷ DO NOT add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Ŷ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for
2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for

USING THE WASHER
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
Step 4 Step 5Step 1
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION before operating this appliance.
WARNING
(cycle options
vary by model)
Load clothes into your
washer and close the
door.
If the screen is dark,
press the Power pad or
turn the knob to “wake
up” the display.
Turn the knob to
select the desired
cycle.
Open the dispenser and add
detergent, bleach and fabric
softener, as desired. Models
with SmartDispense™ only
require that you select the
SmartDispense pad once the
tank has been filled.
Press Start to begin the
wash cycle. The machine
will weigh your clothes and

Step 2
Step 3
Quick Start:
Display and Status Lights
(Features and appearance will vary)
On some models, the display shows the approximate time remaining until the end of the cycle and the washer cycle
status (Prewash, Fill, Wash, Rinse and Spin).
NOTE: The cycle time is affected by how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your
home. The “smart” timer “learns” the amount of time it takes to fill your washer and adjusts the total time accordingly.
On some models, if an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin status light or Spin option selection
light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion.
When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally.
In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more
wet than usual at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly in the wash tub and run a Rinse & Spin cycle.
In addition, the display will show:
(WiFi)
(on some models)
Will allow your appliance to communicate with your smartphone for remote appliance monitoring,
control and notifications. It stays lit whenever the washer is on and is connected. It will blink during the
commissioning process or if it loses connection to the network.
Venting
(on some models) Venting will blink to indicate that you can select the ULTRAFRESH VENT feature at the end of the cycle.
It then stays illuminated once selected until venting is complete.
Control The controls on the washer are locked when this icon is illuminated. You must press and hold the Control
Lock pad to unlock the controls.
Door This icon will illuminate while the door is locked and will blink while the washer is in the process of pausing
and then unlocking.
Smart This icon will illuminate when the Smart AI features of your washer are active.
Auto, More, Less
(on some models) The SmartDispense will automatically dose detergent according to the weight and soil level of the clothes. You
can adjust this feature to dose MORE or LESS detergent or turn it OFF to manually dose detergent.
Tank Low
(on some models) At start up the unit displays when the SmartDispense tank needs to be re-filled. Typically, this first lights up when
there are approximately 8 - 10 loads of detergent remaining.
Loads Left
(on some models) Displays the estimated number of wash loads left for the amount of detergent in the SmartDispense tank.
Delay
(on some models) When you select a delay start to your wash, this will be indicated by either a light next to the pad or with the word
“Delay” in the center of the options window. The display will also countdown the hours until the cycle begins.
Using the washer
Step 6 (on some models)
After the wash cycle
is completed and the
clothes unloaded, select
ULTRAFRESH VENT™ to
help eliminate the excess
moisture in your washer so
you can close the door.

Using the washer
USING THE WASHER
DSettings
Individual settings for soil level (Level), water temperature (Temp) and spin speed (Spin) can be set from the
minimum to maximum. In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used.
Soil
Changing the Soil level increases or decreases the wash time to remove different amounts of soil.
To change the Soil level, press the Soil level pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can choose
between Extra Light, Light, Normal, Heavy or Extra Heavy soil levels on most cycles.
Temp
Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The AutoSoak and PreWash rinse water is
always cold to help reduce energy usage and reduce setting of stains and wrinkles.
Follow the fabric manufacturer’s care label when selecting the wash temperature.
To change the wash temperature, press the Temp pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot or Extra Hot on most cycles. By design, to protect fabrics, not all
wash temperatures are available for certain wash cycles. Extra Hot temperatures are enabled by the internal
heater on models equipped with Steam capabilities.
NOTE: The first 10 seconds of the wash fill is always cold. This feature assists in conditioning the fabric and
preventing stains from setting on garments.
Spin
Adjusting the Spin speed changes the final spin speed of the cycles. Always follow the garment manufacturer’s
care label when changing the Spin speed.
To change the Spin speed, press the Spin speed pad until you have reached the desired setting. You can
choose between No Spin, Low, Medium, High or Max. Higher spin speeds are not available on certain cycles,
such as DELICATES and ACTIVE WEAR.
Higher spin speeds remove more water from the clothes and will help reduce dry time, but may also increase
the possibility of setting wrinkles on some fabrics.
NOTE: This washer features a dBT™ (Dynamic Balancing Technology) system. This patented onboard
sensing technology enables real-time balancing of the spin cycle for each load, saving time and providing a
quiet wash. This should lead to more consistent wash times and an overall reduction in noise and vibration.
If the washer should experience any excessive noise, vibration or shaking, simply Pause the washer, open the
door, and manually redistribute the load before restarting the cycle.
EOptions
SMARTDISPENSE™ (on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add detergent
for each load. See the SmartDispense section for details.
My Settings (on some models)
To save your favorite settings for a given cycle, set the desired options for Soil, Spin and Temp levels, extra
rinse and other settings. Hold down the My Settings pad for 3 seconds. A beep will sound to indicate the
selections for this cycle have been saved. You can choose to create My Settings for other cycles.
STEAM/POWER STEAM (on some models)
The steam feature adds steam into the washer before the wash cycle begins to assist with loosening stains on
the NORMAL, WHITES, TOWELS, BULKY Bedding, SANITIZE+Allergen and POWER CLEAN cycles.
To use:
1. Press the Power pad to “wake up” the washer and select a wash cycle.
2. Use the SmartHQ App or press the POWER STEAM pad (on some models) to activate steam.
3. Press the Start/Pause pad.
WiFi (may be a shared pad with other options)
Press and hold the WiFi* pad for 3 seconds to activate. See the WiFi Connect section for details on how to
get stated with WiFi connection.

EOptions
Delay Wash/Remote Start
You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 24 hours or remote start the washer by using the Delay Wash/
Remote Start feature. Press to step by hours or hold to scroll the Delay Wash pad to set the amount of time
you want to delay the start of the wash cycle. If you have connected your washer to WiFi, the first selection,

if you select a delay time in hours, the machine will count down and start automatically following this period.
Press the Start pad once you have configured the Delay Wash to the proper setting to enable this feature. To
cancel this option, simply power off and power on the controls.
NOTE: If you forget to fully close the door, a reminder signal will beep reminding you to do so.
NOTE: If you open the door when the delay is counting down, the machine will enter the pause state. You must
close the door and press Start again in order to restart the countdown.
Time Saver (on some models)
This option reduces the overall washer cycle time by optimizing the wash, rinse and spin actions and/or
gently raising the wash temperature to get clothes cleaned faster. Option is available on NORMAL, WHITES,
TOWELS, DELICATES, BULKY Bedding and ACTIVE WEAR cycles. Total wash time will vary based on
cycle chosen and options selected.
To use:
1. Turn power on and select a wash cycle which has Time Saver as an option.
2. Press the Time Saver pad to reduce the overall wash time.
3. Press the Start/Pause pad.
More Water (on some models)
This option adds approximately 3 gallons to the wash and rinse portions of the cycle. If the option is selected
before the cycle starts, the water will be added from the beginning of the wash cycle and later to the rinse. If
the option is selected during the wash portion, more water will be added at this point and later to the rinse.
Likewise, if the More Water option is selected after the wash portion has completed, the washer will add more
water to the rinse only. If wash and rinse have completed, the More Water pad will no longer be active.
ULTRAFRESH VENT System with ODORBLOCK™ (on GE Appliances and Profile models only)
The ULTRAFRESH VENT System with OdorBlock was designed to eliminate excess moisture in the washer
following a wash cycle to help prevent odors from developing. This washer was designed to drain water at the
end of the cycle more effectively. Following the wash cycle, the user can then choose to leave the door open
or select the ULTRAFRESH VENT feature to assist with drying out the gasket and other areas of the washer.
The OdorBlock system features multiple components which are manufactured with Microban® antimicrobial
technology.* Microban is a safe and effective antimicrobial technology that will last the life of your washer. For
more information, please visit www.microban.com/geappliances.
ULTRAFRESH VENT is available after the wash cycle is complete and you have removed your cleaned
laundry. Once the door is closed, a notification tune will play and the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad LED will blink.
Upon pressing the pad, ULTRAFRESH VENT will begin.
To select ULTRAFRESH VENT at any other point, power on the washer, ensure a cycle is
not actively running, and remove any garments from the basket, then press and release the
ULTRAFRESH VENT pad so that the notification tune plays and the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad
LED begins to blink. Then press the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad again to start the feature.
During the operation of ULTRAFRESH VENT the door will remain locked and the washer will intermittently spin
at low speeds for up to 8 hours. Profile models utilize a sensor to determine end time.
If garments are detected in the basket during ULTRAFRESH VENT, the washer will instead run TUMBLE
CARE or 1 STEP WASH + DRY, based on option availability for your model.
The ULTRAFRESH VENT feature may be cancelled at any time by pressing the POWER pad, turning the cycle
knob, or pressing the ULTRAFRESH VENT pad.

*Microban® is a registered trademark of Microban International, Ltd.
1 STEP WASH + DRY (on some models)
This option is available on all cycles except Self Clean.
The 1 STEP WASH + DRY is intended for small loads only. Use when clothes need to be washed, dried and
ready to wear or finished the next morning. This feature will tumble clothes and introduce a constant stream of
air into the washer compartment upon completion of select wash cycles. Although the drying portion is set to 8
hours, the clothes can be removed at any time by pressing Pause or Power to cancel the cycle.
Tumble Care (on some models)
Freshly tumbles your garments periodically for up to 8 hours after the wash cycle is complete to lessen the
setting of wrinkles and creases when you are not able to move clothing to the dryer right away.
At the end of the cycle, the display will scroll “END” and after ten minutes the Tumble Care will begin. It can be
stopped at any time by pressing the Power pad.
PreWash (on some models)
Prewash is an extra wash before the main wash. Use it for heavily soiled clothes or for clothes with a care label
that recommends prewashing before washing. Be sure to add liquid or powder high-efficiency detergent, or the
proper wash additive to the prewash dispenser. Washers equipped with SmartDispense will automatically add
the proper amount of detergent for prewash based on the load size.
PreWash must be selected prior to pressing Start.
The PreWash feature will fill the washer (adding the prewash detergent), tumble the clothes, drain and spin.
Then the washer will run the selected wash cycle.
NOTE: In some special cycles, the prewash is selected automatically as the default. You can turn off this
selection at any time. The main wash will use new detergent from the manual detergent compartment and from
the SmartDispense tank (on some models).
AutoSoak (on some models)
For soaking your garments prior to the wash cycle. This option begins with a brief tumble and then proceeds to
soak the clothes with water and detergent for a specified period of time. Once complete, the cycle will continue
automatically. AutoSoak must be selected prior to pressing the start pad. The AutoSoak time will add an
additional 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours to the overall wash time. High-efficiency detergent from the
main wash compartment in the dispenser is used for the AutoSoak period and main wash cycle.
Soak Rinse (on some models)
Select this feature when laundry sanitizer is used. This feature is recommended for special case loads only, not
for typical use. Press Soak Rinse for Sanitizer button to enable. An additional chime will occur and the cycle
time will increase due to additional soaking time to activate the laundry sanitizer. To cancel the option, press the
Soak Rinse for Sanitizer button again. NOTE: Fill the fabric softener compartment in the dispenser drawer with
the recommended amount of laundry sanitizer.
Extra Rinse
This option allows for an extra rinse during a cycle to remove excess dirt and detergent from soiled loads.

Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until
it stops. After adding laundry products, slowly close the
dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could
result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener or
detergent.
You may see water in the detergent, bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a
result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
Do NOT put detergent packets in the dispenser drawer.
NOTE: Use only liquid or powder HE detergents and
additives in the dispenser drawer. Laundry detergent
packets should only be added directly to the wash
basket following the manufacturer’s directions.

SmartDispense (on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add
detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add
detergent for each load.
The detergent amount selection on the control
panel will default to AUTO when first powering up
the washing machine. When AUTO is selected, the
amount of detergent needed for each laundry load will
automatically be determined based on the size of the
load the machine senses.
For AUTO, the washer will dispense approximately 1.5 oz
of detergent for an 8 lb normal load. For other loads,
it will adjust proportionally based on the size of load
and garment type. If you select LESS, the amount of
detergent will be reduced by 40%. This may be desired
for higher concentrate detergents or if you have very soft
water. For heavily soiled loads, you may want to select
MORE to add 40% more detergent than the AUTO level.
You can set the brand/type of detergent in the SmartHQ
App so that the washer can make adjustments based on
detergent manufacturers recommendations.
NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of the
SmartDispense feature. If the light is not illuminated and
pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad results in a beeping
tone, then SmartDispense is not allowed for the cycle
that has been selected. Detergent will need to be added
directly to the detergent compartment for these cycles.
If it is desired to manually add detergent for a
particular load:
1. Press the SMART DISPENSE pad on the control
panel until its light turns off which indicates the
SmartDispense feature has been turned off.
2. Set the flap in the detergent compartment to the
type of detergent to be used - Powder or Liquid.
See the Detergent Compartment section.
3. Add the desired amount of detergent into the
detergent compartment.
If the display indicates that the SmartDispense tank is
estimating there is insufficient detergent to wash a load,
the SmartDispense light will flash. The washer can still
run a cycle, but it suggested that you add detergent
in the manual detergent compartment or refill the
SmartDispense tank.

Liquid Bleach Compartment
If desired, measure out the recommended amount of
liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour into
the compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH” marked
with this symbol .
It is recommended to use High-Efficiency (HE) bleach in
this front-load washer.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can
cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result
in damaged clothes.
NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach or laundry
detergent/additive packets in the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Compartment
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the compartment labeled “FABRIC
SOFTENER”.
Use only liquid fabric softener in the dispenser.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can
cause early dispensing of the fabric softener, which
could stain clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash
load.
NOTE: The fabric softener compartment will be siphoned
in the final rinse of the wash cycle. This compartment
can also be used to accommodate other liquid rinse
aids such as sanitizers and fabric enhancing liquids.
The use of these other products must be certified by the
liquid manufacturer for safety in the use of a residential
washing machine and combination washer/dryer. Please
check carefully, as certain liquids may invalidate the
warranty on your Washer.

USING THE WASHER
Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy
for some situations that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful
messages you may notice scrolling on your display when you return to start another load. These messages will
provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.
Spin light
blinking If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the
remaining portion of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion.
When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and
complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load
and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle,
redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle. (See Extra Rinse
in the Using the washer - Options section for details.)
H2O SUPPLY
(Water not
entering washer)
Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after
installation or coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer
will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time.
After the 4 minutes, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by
unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again.
CAnCELEd”“CAnCELEd” may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if
the machine has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors. As soon as the
message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls
won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minute period, you can begin your cycle again.
If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over
again. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

The washer will not start another cycle until the door is opened. In either circumstance, try opening
and closing the door, and then starting a new cycle. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances
at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

USING THE WASHER
Loading
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the
fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
Loading the Washer
The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely added items.
To add items after the washer has started, press Start/Pause and wait until the door is unlatched. The washer may
take up to 30 seconds to unlock the door after pressing Start/Pause, depending on the machine conditions. Do not
try to force open the door when it is locked. After the door unlocks, open gently. Add items, close the door and press
Start/Pause to restart.
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil.
DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.

Care and cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
Self Clean
To clean the interior of the washer,
select the SELF CLEAN feature on the
control panel. This Self Clean cycle
should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or about every 40 wash
cycles. This cycle will use more water,
in addition to bleach, to control the
rate at which soils and detergents may
accumulate in your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below
completely before starting Self Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and
ensure the washer basket is empty.
2. Open the washer door and pour
one cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach
or other washing machine cleaner
into the basket.
3. Close the door and select the SELF CLEAN cycle.
Push the Start pad.
4. When the Self Clean cycle is working, the display will
show the estimated cycle time remaining. The cycle will
complete in about 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
5. After the cycle is complete (on some models), the
washer will automatically start an ULTRAFRESH VENT
operation so that the door can remain closed until the
next time you use the washer.
If for any reason the cycle needs to be interrupted, the
door will not open immediately. Forcing open the door at
this stage may cause water to flood. The door will open
after the water is drained to a level where it would not
flood the floor.
Self Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start pad
in between cycles. A power outage in the house might
also interrupt the cycle. When the power supply is back,
the Self Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped.
When interrupted, be sure to run a complete Self Clean
cycle before using the washer. If the Power pad is
pressed during Self Clean, the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
Run Self Clean with one Cup (250 ml) of bleach once
a month.
After the completion of a Self Clean cycle, the interior
of your washer may have a bleach smell.
It is recommended to run a RINSE & SPIN or a light
color load after the Self Clean cycle.
Exterior
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe or dust spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Washer control panel
and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment and stain remover products. Apply these products
away from the washer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your washer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should
always be clean to ensure a watertight seal. You will notice if you regularly use the ULTRAFRESH VENT System that
this will not be required as often. It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach
(or other commercially available product manufactured for this purpose, such as Tide® Washing Machine Cleaner)
poured directly into the basket without clothes and using the Self Clean Cycle.
Water Supply Hoses
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses immediately
if any sign of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk of hose failures
and possible water damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. DO NOT
overtighten or cross thread fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects, become kinked, or become
over stretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.
Door Gasket
Open the washer door. Using
both hands, press down the
door gasket.
While holding down the door
gasket, inspect the interior
fold. Remove any foreign
objects if found trapped
inside this gasket.
Make sure there is nothing blocking the
holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning the
door gasket, release it and the gasket
will return to the operating position.
