GE Top Load Washer GTW485ASWWB Activewear Cycle Auto Water Level

[@StacieGibson-h4w]

I can’t thank you enough for running an entire cycle in the washing machine. I just bought a new machine and I’m looking to exchange it, this was a very helpful video.

[@petermaz701]

This machine did a respectable job and the spray rinse is actually long enough to be somewhat effective. I generally would prefer a deep rinse. The wash action on this machine is definitely a strong point.

[@albertcarello619]

@petermaz701: I agree with you 100%! A really Great washing machine!

[@albertcarello619]

@@petermaz701 The prows on this washing machine is it's cleaning performance and cycle selection. The cons would be questionable longevity, reliability and durability.

[@MichaelwAEL]

Can someone explain what the machine is doing at every cycle stage. Specifically, what is it doing at the 16:53 mark. I asked Lowes to come pick mine up as I don't understand what it is doing. It is like it is broken where it spins, but accomplishes nothing. Is everyone OK with a machine quarter-round jerk, but it is not washing the clothes doing that? Jerking is not good for any mechanical operation. What is wrong with the machine? Do others do this? LG or Whirlpool? I want a standard washing machine that does not jerk.

[@CarlosAlvarez-tq9ye]

I have an earlier GE model of these series (GTW460) and the quarter-round jerk is normal in these series. It is basically a gentle wash phase in the selected washing cycle, somewhat similar to the Delicates cycle.

How did you get the machine to run with the lid up?

[@freediverpr890]

This machine use the lid when spin at the end.

[@rosamorales4304]

My mom has this one. The clothes are not that dry. Even with the extra spin on

[@albertcarello619]

Unless you select deep rinse it will only do a spray rinse on it's normal cycle.

[@Cedric-Forbes]

That's for all the ge washers after the hydrowave

[@albertcarello619]

@@Cedric-Forbes I myself would always select the deep rinse option and use mostly the Permanent Press Cycle and the Heavy Duty Cycle.

Now with ever increasing water restrictions on our appliances, I wonder how much longer these will be available?

[@rexoliver7780]

Something we don’t need. These rules need to be repealed and scrapped. Washers really aren’t a major user of water. That hose you have outside can use MORE water than cold water wash loads!

Does this washer fill the tub even without there being clothes in it? I need one without sensors 😢

[@shawa9141]

Oh my mashien, it's same like spinning so what should I do

[@Ehvz539]

Why did my blacks socks fade with this new washer today? Just curious still good washer

[@albertcarello619]

@@Ehvz539 You should have washed your black socks and any dark colors in cold water. I do all my dark colored laundry in cold water.

[@Cocoakisses326]

Do you still have this machine and are you still liking it? I'm looking to get this machine, but I'm scared lol

[@doedoejean1197]

I just bought the same model and came on here to see if mine was working right. The sound of it washing was definitely different from my old one. I was used to my old washer agitating more, but my clothes definitely come out cleaner. I like it. I bought the matching dryer, which is okay, I don't like that the door on the dryer is not an easy close

[@JenniferGayle5812]

I feel like I paid too much for the machine. I'm getting used to the loudness of the machines wash cycle. LOL. It's ok.

[@shawa9141]

Whi can fix it my washing machine spinning problem and continue filling water .please explain it this problem

Can I see a cycle with cold plus

Good clothes turn over.

[@jonbontobi504]

Love that agitating agitator!!!❤ 😃

[@pontiac38gm]

This is a real agitator... not that slim design or the one that moves in the same motion as the impeller... smh. Love the fact GE stuck with the independent agitator

[@michaelgarber2663]

During the spin cycle on this machine vibrated horribly. Five bath towels. The machine was level on floor. I initiated a return the same day I received it. Pathetic.

[@TheMeazy1]

I just got one from Home Depot. That is the quietest spin cycle I have ever heard. The box does say don't tip on front when moving. Maybe yours was defective

[@andypham4779]

Not that great I want to be able to stop the machine and I don’t know how. Would never buy again makes horrible noise when spinning. Waste of money.
