Questions & Answers

Is it supposed to beep repeatedly during spin cycle?
ByAug 17, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Model GTW485ASWWB is not designed to beep repeatedly during the spin cycle. We recommend disconnecting the washer from power for a couple of minutes before reconnecting, to reset it. If you continue to have the issue, we recommend making an appointment with one of our Bodewell service technicians by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL.

            Why does my new washer not agitate well
            ByAug 10, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            It is normal for newer models to operate more quietly than older washers. After the water stops filling, the washer may take approximately 20–30 seconds to sense the load and engage the drive system. To check whether the washer is agitating, open the lid and place a small article of clothing in the washer, noting its position. Close the lid and allow the washer to run for a minute or two. Then open the lid and check the article of clothing. If the agitator or infusor is working properly, the clothing should have moved around in the wash basket. If the washer is not agitating, first make sure it is receiving power by checking the household circuit breaker or fuse, as well as the outlet and power cord. The washer should be connected to a dedicated outlet. Also, make sure the lid is completely closed, as the washer will not agitate with the lid open. Before starting the cycle again, make sure the lid is completely closed and that the Start/Stop or Pause button has not been pressed. If these steps do not resolve the issue, service may be required. You can schedule a repair appointment with Bodewell at 1-833-426-3393.

                Can you open it midcycle to add clothes and close it and it continues washing
                ByAug 7, 2026
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                Pressing Start/Pause will unlock the lid, if locked at that time, pause the cycle and the Fill, Soak, Wash, Rinse, and Spin light indicators will blink. To continue the cycle, press Start/Pause again.

                  Horrible Machine- will not fill completely or get clothes clean.
                  Do not purchase this machine if you want clean clothes. Even though the advertising states the machine fills to 26 gallons, the machine will not fill past 2-3 inches in tub. Once you purchase the item and call GE to report a problem, they will tell you that on page 6 of the owner's manual (that you get AFTER you purchase the machine) the max fill should only be used occasionally for large loads. Clothes have to be washed several times because they do not come clean and often are still dry when the rinse cycle starts (even when using bulky/deep fill cycle). I have my 4th service call scheduled for next week- purchased machine in April. 2 of the 4 service calls were no show/no call (after I took off from work and sat at home for 8-12 one day ant 8-5 another day). If you want a dependable machine that cleans clothes/keep looking- this one is not what you want!!!!!

                  We want to clarify some information regarding the water level of your washer. Over the years, the amount of allowable water used in washing machines has been reduced by the Department of Energy, who sets these standards. As washing machines have become more efficient, they use much less water and energy to get the same or higher level of cleanliness as older models. It is normal for the wash basket not to be full of water as most washers are programmed with load sensing to adjust water levels based on the cycle and load size selected. We recommend that the washer is loaded properly to ensure optimal performance. You can find recommendations for how to load your washer in page 8 of the product’s manual here: https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/94/94549696-b4cf-4a6d-a0a2-05df1f88ee5d.pdf

                    Junk
                    This washer has been the biggest piece of junk. Don’t waste your money on it unless you wanna wash 1 single piece of clothing at a time. I try and was a load of 2 pants, 2 towels and shirts, socks and underwear and it is too full and won’t ever drain. It says it’s good for bulky items but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m not satisfied and will probably never buy a ge washer again.

                    We want to help you with your washer not draining properly. Make sure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged and that the washer is not trying to drain more than 8 feet higher than the floor. You can find more information in the article titled "Top Load Washer - Will Not Drain" on the GE Appliances website.

                    If the issue persists after troubleshooting, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service. GE_Appliances

                      Do NOT recommend
                      Don't waste your money unless you want a washer that sounds like a jet engine operating in your laundry room. Yes--it's that loud and going off balance with even light loads like a queen size summer weight blanket. We purchased this washer July 30, 2025. BIG MISTAKE! Previous reviews said the washer was noisy and didn't fill with adequate water. They are CORRECT! I add an additional bucket of water to large loads but I haven't figured out how to stop the BANGING when it gets off balance with 2 king size sheets or a queen size light weight blanket (mentioned above). Note: The machine is level & on a solid tile flood. It's when it spins that it easily goes off balance. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Wish we hadn't purchased it. )o:

                      We would like to help by providing some information about wash loads becoming out of balance. When loading the washer, loosely place clothes in the basket and do not load them higher than the top row of holes. For the best wash performance, distribute items evenly around the outside of the basket. Overloading the washer can negatively affect wash performance and contribute to out-of-balance conditions. When washing a weighted blanket, be sure to follow the manufacturer's care instructions. Because the blanket is weighted, it is important to distribute it as evenly as possible in the washer to help maintain balance during the wash cycle. If you have a newer top-load washer, make sure all shipping materials have been removed before sliding the washer into place. Depending on the model, this may include a shipping rod, Styrofoam shipping material, or a cardboard base and cardboard cone.For more information and additional troubleshooting tips, please visit the GE Appliances website and search for the article titled: Top Load Washer - Walking or Vibrating.
                      Over the years, the amount of water allowed for use in washing machines has been reduced by the Department of Energy (DOE), which establishes efficiency standards. As washing machines have become more efficient, they use significantly less water and energy while providing the same or even better cleaning performance than older models.It is normal for the wash basket not to fill completely with water. Most washers are equipped with load-sensing technology that automatically adjusts the water level based on the selected cycle and the size of the load. We recommend loading the washer properly to ensure optimal performance. You can find loading recommendations in your owner's manual.

                        Please do not waste your money on the Allstate Protection Plan. It is a joke. The gear or drive came apart in 13 months. And it's more than the washing machine was. Trying to contact GE is another pain. Do what I did by Speed Queen. And be done with it.

                            Great, but…
                            Just wish the water filled the drum more. Our last GE washer/dryer set lasted so long! About 12-13 years. This was the closest model. I didn’t want all the fancy bells and whistles because I just need clean laundry-the ones with the auto settings take too long in the wash cycle for my liking. I was looking for something quick, powerful, and to the point. This one is all of those things. I just wish it filled up with more water, on the max load setting, since the washer drum is so large. Kinda defeats the purpose of buying a washer with a large drum, if it doesn’t hold much water. I feel like my last washer held more water/clothing-even though the drum is larger on the new one. Still cleans my clothes well-we just have to make smaller loads.
