Frequently Asked Questions - GFWN1100DWW GE

How to clean the pump filter?
The pump filter is located behind an access door at the bottom left of the washer. Open the door using a coin or flat-head screwdriver. Place a shallow container under the spout to collect water (about 250 ml). Pull the spout down, then turn the filter counterclockwise and remove it. Clean debris, replace the filter by turning it clockwise, and tighten. Raise the spout and close the access door.
What is the maximum washing capacity?
The maximum capacity is approximately 16 pounds (7.3 kg) of dry laundry. Do not exceed this load to avoid imbalance and reduced washing performance.
How to use the Basket Clean cycle?
Make sure the drum is empty. Pour 250 ml (1 cup) of liquid bleach directly into the drum. Close the door, select the Basket Clean cycle, and press Start. The cycle lasts about 90 minutes. After it finishes, leave the door ajar to air out. Perform this cycle once a month.
How to reset the washer in case of lockup?
Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet for about 1 minute, then plug it back in. Open and close the door, then press Power to restart. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting guide or call customer service.
What to do if the washer does not drain?
Check that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean the pump filter (see question 1). Make sure the drain pipe is not clogged. If the problem persists, check the error codes on the display.
What detergent to use?
Use only high efficiency (HE) detergent to avoid excessive suds. Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations for dosage, based on load size and soil level.
The door does not open after the cycle, what to do?
The door remains locked for a short time after the cycle ends for safety reasons. Wait 1 to 2 minutes. If it still doesn't open, turn off the washer and unplug it for a few minutes. Plug back in and try again. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.
How to prevent odors in the machine?
Leave the washer door ajar after each cycle to allow moisture to evaporate. Run a Basket Clean cycle once a month with bleach. Do not use too much detergent and remove laundry promptly after the cycle ends.
What to do in case of water leak?
Check that the water inlet hoses are tightly connected and in good condition. Check the door gasket: clean it and make sure it is not damaged. Clean the dispenser drawer if it is clogged. If the leak comes from underneath, check the pump filter and drain connections.
How to properly install the washer?
Remove the shipping bolts at the back (4 bolts, 4 spacers). Place the washer on a hard, level floor. Connect the water hoses (marked H for hot, C for cold) to the corresponding faucets. Connect the drain hose to a drain pipe between 61 and 244 cm high. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Open the faucets and check for leaks.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GE GFWN1100DWW - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - 1

WARNING

To reduce the risk of death, fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

  • Read all instructions before using the appliance.
    ■ 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.
    ■ 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.
    ■ 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 several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during this time.
    ■ DO NOT allow children to play on or in this appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when this appliance is used near children. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or injury to persons.
    ■ DO NOT reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving to prevent accidental entanglement.
    ■ DO NOT install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
    ■ DO NOT tamper with controls, repair or replace any part of this appliance or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
  • Keep the area around your appliance clean and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
    ■ DO NOT operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or has missing or broken parts including a damaged cord or plug.
    ■ Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker before servicing. Pressing the Power button DOES NOT disconnect power.
    ■ See "Electrical Requirements" located in the Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

NSF Protocol P172 Sanitization Performance of Residential and Commercial, Family-Sized Clothes Washers

Bulky Bedding For large coats, bed spreads, mattress covers, sleeping bags and similar large and (on some models) bulky items. Large items such as blankets, comforters, jackets and small rugs.

Delicates Hand WashFor lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides gentle tumbling and soak during wash and rinse.
Speed WashFor lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry. Cycle time is approximately 30 minutes, depending on selected options.
Drain & SpinDrain and spin at any time.
Basket CleanUse for cleaning the basket of residue and odor. Recommended use of once per month.NOTE: Never load laundry while using Basket Clean. The laundry may become damaged or contaminated. See the Care and Cleaning section.

3 Soil Level

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.

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.

5 Wash Temp

Adjust to select the proper water temperature for the wash cycle. The prewash and 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 Wash Temp pad until you have reached the desired setting.

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.

GE GFWN1100DWW - Cleaning the washer. - 1

Care and Cleaning

Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.

Moving and Storage: Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. When moving the washer, the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation. See Installation Instructions in this book. If these parts are not available, they can be ordered by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com or by calling 800.GE.CARES. In Canada, call 800.561.3344.

Long Vacations: Be sure the water supply is shut off at the faucets. Drain all water from the hoses if the weather will be below freezing.

Cleaning the Interior of the Washer

To clean the interior of the washer, select the Basket Clean feature on the control panel. The cycle will use more water, in addition to bleach, to refresh your washer.

NOTE: Read the instructions below completely before starting the Basket 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 Basket Clean cycle. Push the Start pad.
  4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, you will see CLn on the display. The cycle will complete in about 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
  5. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly for better ventilation.

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.

Basket 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 Basket Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a complete Basket Clean cycle before using the washer. If the Power pad is pressed during BasketClean, the cycle will be lost.

IMPORTANT:

■ Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month.
■ After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle, the interior of your washer may have a bleach smell.
■ It is recommended to run a light color load after the Basket Clean cycle.

Cleaning the Pump Filter

Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for small articles to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost items so they are not dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY:

- DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE. Washer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.

CIRCUIT – Individual, properly polarized and grounded 15-amp branch circuit fused with 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

POWER SUPPLY – 2-wire, with ground, 120-volt, single-phase, 60-Hz, alternating current.

GE GFWN1100DWW - WARNING: - 1

natural_image Illustration of a plug and two electrical outlets (no text or symbols)

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

GE GFWN1100DWW - GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS - 1

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

  1. The washer MUST be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
  2. Since your washer is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, the plug MUST be plugged into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). If in doubt, call a licensed electrician. DO NOT cut off or alter the grounding prong on the power supply cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, it is the owner's responsibility to have a licensed electrician replace it with a properly grounded three-prong grounding-type receptacle.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 inches (107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4" (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure. The hot water temperature should be set to deliver water at 120° to 140°F (48°–60°C).

DRAIN REQUIREMENTS

  1. Drain capable of eliminating 17 gals (64.3 L) per minute.
  2. A standpipe diameter of 1-1/4" (3.18 cm) minimum.
  3. The standpipe height above the floor should be:
    Minimum height: 24" (61 cm) Maximum height: 96" (244 cm)

GE GFWN1100DWW - DRAIN REQUIREMENTS - 1

text_image BACK 96" (244 cm) Max. 24" (61 cm) Min.

NOTE: The drain hose attached to the washer can reach a 58" (147 cm) high standpipe. For a higher standpipe, contact an authorized parts distributor.

INSTALLING THE WASHER

  1. Run some water from the hot and cold faucets to flush the water lines and remove particles that might clog up the inlet hoses and water valve screens.

  2. Obtain inlet hoses locally.

  3. Ensure there is a rubber washer in the hoses. Reinstall the rubber washer into the hose fitting if it has fallen out during shipment. Carefully connect an inlet hose to the outside "H" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Carefully connect

GE GFWN1100DWW - INSTALLING THE WASHER - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a computer monitor with ports and cables (no text or symbols)

the other inlet hose to the inside "C" outlet of the water valve. Tighten by hand; then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Do not crossthread or over-tighten these connections.

  1. Install the screen washers by inserting them into the free ends of the inlet hoses with protruded side facing the faucet.

GE GFWN1100DWW - INSTALLING THE WASHER - 2

text_image H C Inlet Hose Screen Washers HOT COLD
  1. Connect the inlet hose ends to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand, then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers. Turn the water on and check for leaks.

GE GFWN1100DWW - INSTALLING THE WASHER - 3

natural_image Illustration of a pipe fitting with a flanged handle and bulb (no text or symbols)
  1. Carefully move the washer to its final location. Gently rock the washer into position ensuring inlet hoses do not become kinked. It is important not to damage the rubber leveling legs when moving your washer to its final location. Damaged legs can increase washer vibration. It may be helpful to spray window cleaner on the floor to help move your washer into its final position. NOTE: To reduce vibration, ensure that all four rubber leveling legs are firmly touching the floor. Push and pull on the back right and then back left of your washer.

NOTE: Do not use the dispenser drawer or door to lift the washer.

NOTE: If you are installing into a drain pan, you can use a 24-inch long 2x4 to lever the washer into place.

  1. With the washer in its final position, place a level on top of the washer (if the washer is installed under a counter, the washer should not be able to rock). Adjust the front leveling legs up or dow

GE GFWN1100DWW - INSTALLING THE WASHER - 4

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a handle and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

to ensure the washer is resting solid. Turn the lock nuts on each leg up towards the base of the washer and snug with a wrench.

NOTE: Keep the leg extension at a minimum to prevent excessive vibration. The farther out the legs are extended, the more the washer will vibrate.

If the floor is not level or is damaged, you may have to extend the rear leveling legs.

INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.)

  1. Attach the U-shaped hose guide to the end of the drain hose. Place the hose in a laundry tub or standpipe and secure it with the cable tie provided in the enclosure package.

NOTE: Placing the drain hose too far down the drain pipe can cause a siphoning action. No more than 7 inches of hose should be in the drain pipe. There must be an air gap around the drain hose. A snug fit can also cause a siphoning action.

GE GFWN1100DWW - INSTALLING THE WASHER (cont.) - 1

  1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

NOTE: Check to be sure the power is off at the circuit breaker/fuse box before plugging the power cord into an outlet.

  1. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/fuse box.
  2. Read the rest of this Owner's Manual. It contains valuable and helpful information that will save you time and money.
  3. Before starting the washer, check to make sure:

□ Main power is turned on.
☐ The washer is plugged in.
☐ The water faucets are turned on.
☐ The unit is level and all four leveling legs are firmly on the floor.
☐ The shipping support hardware is removed and saved.
☐ The drain hose is properly tied up.
☐ There are no leaks at the faucet, drain line or washer.

  1. Run the washer through a complete cycle. Check for water leaks and proper operation.

  2. If your washer does not operate, please review the Before You Call For Service section before calling for service.

  3. Place these instructions in a location near the washer for future reference.
