Questions & Answers

I just got this washer and the water level is way too small for max load. What is the problem
ByMar 2, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

This washer is a high-efficiency washing machine with a system that requires less water to provide effective cleaning action. Additionally, the Department of Energy (DOE) sets standards for washer water usage. Over the years, the amount of allowable water usage has been reduced. With washers using less water and energy, you will no longer see a wash basket full of water. We recommend trying to match water levels and load size as closely as possible. You can find information on the loading recommendations for each water level in the article titled "Top Load Washer - Water Level and Load Size" on our GE Appliances website.

    What parts do not come in the washer
    ByFeb 28, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Fill hoses are not included with this washer. We strongly recommend the use of new water supply hoses. Hoses degrade over time and need to be replaced every 5 years at minimum to reduce the risk of hose failures and water damage.

        How do you use washer cleaning pods to clean washing machine?
        ByFeb 8, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        When using a washing machine cleaner, please follow the directions on the package. You may also try the following: Set the washer to fill with hot water and select the longest wash cycle. Add 1 cup of bleach (baking soda or vinegar can be substituted). Allow the washer to complete an entire wash and rinse cycle. If an odor lingers, repeat the entire process. We also suggest leaving the washer lid open when not in use to help prevent odors.

          Yes, this washer does have a quick wash cycle that takes approximately 33 minutes. More details about the different wash cycles can be found in the manual starting on page 8 at the link here- https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/be/befe4c49-d2a3-4f1c-93f3-66d3cfee8e9c.pdf

            No place marked for detergent. Where does it go?

            Answer This Question

            Where do you put the liquid detergent

            By|Feb 16, 2026

              We recommend placing pods or packets in the bottom of the wash basket prior to adding the clothes. If using liquid or powder, add clothes first then add detergent on top of load.

                    Doesn’t fill all the way up. First day using it and I’m having issues already.

                    Response from Haier_AppliancesMar 9, 2026
                    We'd like to assist with your washer not filling up all the way. Keep in mind that water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal for this high efficiency washer. Firstly, make sure the washer is plugged in securely. The washer should be on a separate, dedicated outlet. If the washer was stored where temperatures are below freezing, water in the pump can freeze and lock the motor. Allow time for thawing and the unit will start. Please refer to the following article for more information: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17383 If the issue persists, please schedule a service appointment with a Bodewell technician by calling 833-426-3393 or schedule online at https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
                      Terrible washing machine
                      We purchased this just over 1 year ago and it completely quit. Repair man gave us a quote to fix it that was more than the washer cost originally. We are having to buy another brand. Very dissatisfied with Hotpoint.

                        Professional & on time delivery
                        Product is lightweight and easy for single person install. The Home Depot delivery guys were very professional & courteous. Wilson & Abner did a great job and even navigated a bit of a slippery slope hill with blackberry thorns! Definitely first class service.

                          Worst washer I’ve ever had
                          Would give 0 stars if that was an option. We’ve had this for around 2 months, and it stopped working. The lights just blink when we hit start and it won’t start washing at all.

                            Fantastic product
                            I purchased the washer and dryer. I renovated my house and put a laundry room on the 2nd floor. The units have been installed. I can't get over how glad I am for this purchase I give an A+ rating. I also want to say the two guys that delivered and installed the washer and dryer, they were fantastic and did a great job. I highly recommend this product.

                              I like the deep tub allowing plenty of clothes per load. It is easy to use. The spin cycle is very good and the clothes come out a lot less wet than my prior washer. The Quick Wash setting is very useful.

                              Please do not buy
                              I bought this washer 11/24 and it’s one of the worst purchases ever! I dread washing clothes now. Anything I wash causes the machine to start shaking uncontrollably in the spin cycle and stops the machine because it’s unbalanced. I had a repair guy come out when it was under warranty and was told he could see every time I washed my clothes on the computer he brought with him. Right?? He gave me some advice to hold the deep rinse button down for 4 seconds and it wouldn’t get unbalanced but that wouldn’t work on the normal cycle. My machine is level and I only wash small loads. I put the water level on max and make sure the load is evenly spread out so please don’t reply with your standard “things I need to do”. It’s not under warranty now and the 1-800 number is useless. It makes me physically sick to use this machine!!

                              We want to help you with the balance of your washer. We recommend making sure you are loading your items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads. This will make sure that the unit stays in balance. You can find additional information on the article titled "Top Load Washer - Wet Clothes Concerns" on the GE Appliances website.
