GE Appliances High Efficiency Top Load Washer with Infuser - Proper Use and Loading

Proper use and loading of the infuser style GE Appliances High Efficiency (HE) Top Load washers.

I just replaced my dead 7 year old Cabrio with a DTW720 in the Diamond Gray. I was able to do 4 loads in this machine in about the time it took to do 2 in the Cabrio which always had balance issue's. Put a really sweat stained bed pillow in it today and it came out snow white. I just read the manual and load it like it says. So happy to have this machine. When my dryer dies, I'm getting the matching dryer! Thank you GE!!!!

Is there a certain setting that bleach will be distributed or is it all settings as long as you have bleach put into the cup

I think I'll keep my old washing machine with the agitator..I hardly have to keep correcting the loads on my old one

I used to work with appliances and as long as you know exactly how to use a top load HE they work perfectly. Yes the electric boards on them can go out but that’s the case with about any electronic these days. Besides, any brand new washer you get anymore doesn’t have a true agitator in it it’s basically just a pole in the middle so you don’t get your clothes all knotted up from not putting them around the outside. HE machines are great.

What is the benefit of an infuser over an agitator? Any why does GE rate it as larger (5.2 vs 5.0) when you can’t load anything in the center where the agitator would had been?

My washer fills and then doesn't spin. Will then put water out on floor. Any idea why, ?

Auto Soap dispenser does not allow soap into wash. Could it be plugged? How do I fix?

GTW680DG/GTD65EBG these are the models I have which I reach recently purchased. High efficient washer and dryer sets are new to me and I'm noticing that there's white streaks all over my clothing are there any tips you can provide that will help prevent this? I used the fabric softener button to try to get an extra rinse, but it doesn't appear to be working that well and I have to rinse all my dress pants!

My washing machine stinks (literally)! I have the GTW 750 model, and it's only 16 months old. It is keeping water in in the drum below the surface. I can move the drum around when it's empty and hear the water sloshing. It smells horrible. How can I fix this?

Where do I put Unstoppables in the GE Deep Fill Quiet Direct Drive model?

[Tsch]

Oh so I have to 'specially' load this thing for it to work right? Other machines don't require any 'special' loading! Only reason I have this is that the new front loaders (that this replaced) are too large for the space. I read another video that said that I could load the machine essentially any way I wanted to, but noooo, GE has to be different! 🙄😕😔🙄😕😔

Other than this one issue, I love my GE 4.9 cu washer with agitator. My husband convinced me to add detergent to the smart dispense holder, but I don't like that I never see suds or the soap dispense. I guess this is all part of the concept that soapy suds are not good for your clothing. I understand that as soon as you don't see the detergent in the refill section, you should add more. I don't want to add more; I want to get rid of it all and start adding my own. (I know I can change the setting and add my own now, but I want to get rid of what is left in the washer.) I have been unsuccessful in my attempts at research, asking in different ways, to find out if there will be a message letting me know when the dispenser is empty or if I just have to guess. Since there are no suds in the wash water and I have no idea how many small, medium, and/or large washes have been used; I don't even have a guess as to how many ounces have been used. Will there be a message displayed when it is empty? Since I have never and still don't see suds, it could be empty or three fourths full. Any information would be appreciated.

I have a question. In the future, could you guys perhaps make some direct drive models kinda like the GTW810 and 860 machines? I heard they spun much faster than the belt driven models and were generally better machines. Although I do ask if you do make some direct drive models, please include the deep fill feature like on your belt driven models, and make the bulky items cycle better than your 810 and 860 models! Swishing the blankets and comforters around gently will not get them clean. If you could rerelease those models with those improvements, or just new direct drive machines in general, I would love to have a machine like that. Thank you.

Just a heads up. GE sold it's appliance division to the Korean company Hair two years ago.

[Dougc]

yes because that was a good machine, you load it set the controls and in 30 minutes or so the wash was done. None of this playing around with sensors to determine how much water and detergent to use. Filterflo's were good dependable machines that will outlast anything that he puts out today. If you built the old filtetflo today, that would e d up being your best selling washing machine.

My washer makes a loud irritating noise while washing... couldn't be normal. Just delivered a week ago. Water coming out after 2 washes.

[HarleyBadger]

I'm curious as to how many weeks (okay, MAYBE months...) this washer will last considering its cheap, Chinese electronics.

[kelseygleason]

My washer will not hold water. It just pours out the drain and then "washes" the clothes with no water.

[mariestockton]

Mine don't work either, no spin no fill only on bulk, but then it just sits there no washing action no nothing

[RedBeardNP]

I don't completely understand why you need to leave the infuser uncovered. won't the clothes just fall on top of the infuser as soon as it starts spinning?
