GE UltraFresh Vent washer - how to Spin setting only, clothes washer

I couldn’t find a setting for “spin only” on our new washer. I found the rinse and spin option, but it took me 2 months to figure this out! We have a GE UltraFresh Vent washing machine.

[@esthers108]

Thank you, it was driving me so crazy because the bathroom rugs were weighed down with water no matter how many times I did a rinse and spin or quick wash to try to get rid of the water. You’re amazing and so is google

[@JanetJenkins]

did it work for you? My rugs won't spin

[@fixthishouse3303]

Will they spin on “low”? I sometimes run the spin cycle on low, then medium, then high. Silly we need to do that, but the other option is to hang the soaking wet rug on the fence outside.

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

No, Google sucks.

[@tacktemplates2591]

My bath rugs won’t spin dry either. They are dripping wet! I have tried this and doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. But yet I don’t have issues with towels. I guess this washer doesn’t like to spin small, heavy loads.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Yes, small, heavy (absorbent) rugs are tough. Are you spinning at least 2 of them? I do small loads with 3-4 heavier floor rugs and they spin pretty well.

[@shelX2]

You rock!!! Thank you for this! Leaving on a trip and was about to go into panic mode. This has happened several times and I’ve done a rinse and spin but it wouldn’t work this time. This not only works but saves time!

[@michelleb4697]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The lack of just a spin has been the most frustrating and dumb feature on my GE washer. I just washed a pillow and it was still so wet after the cycle finished, even on max spin. Spinning now!

[@GarryEdgington-iu4cu]

OMG! Thank you so much! I have a blanket I washed this morning that is sopping wet. We spent way too much on this fancy washer - I knew there HAD to be a way. Thank you!

[@ssavage3060]

Thank you so much! Exact issue. I thought something was wrong with the wash. This was very helpful and right to the point. ❤️

[@wendygriffin1708]

THANK YOU!!!!! I’ve been trying to figure this out for almost 2 years!!!!

[@user-ic5bt5ph4l]

OMG I needed to know this for a year!! Thank you!! Same problem and WAS my only complaint..now I'm good!

[@terryjschultz7782]

Washed my car cover this (6/4/21) and of course its soaking wet! This Video saved me SO much hassle, as the cover is water resistant and to retain its water resistant properties it can't be dried only Air Fluffed. GE should have a Washer setting for an Extra Spin Cycle.

[@vivianeelmera9767]

i almost returned that machine about that lock problem. While I was watching this, I quickly went into laundry room, pushed that button and it worked. OMG; for 2 weeks I could not figure this out. Thanks so much. Be blessed

[@fixthishouse3303]

I’m glad you got it fixed! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jjs100]

Needed to know how to “Just Spin” some pillows and this helped me in seconds! Thanks for the video.

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

I just installed ours last Friday. Thanks for this tip

[@usergreenearth]

This tip was super helpful! I always had to do full rinse & spin cycle when I needed spin only. Thank you so much!

You’re welcome!

Perfect! Just what i needed to know... and you made it quick and simple! Thanks!

[@sweetumsDenise]

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed 😊 I have a different GE model but still has the same buttons and everything, so I was able to follow along.

[@peachykeen3784]

[@starwhitney9207]

Two months? Took me over a year! Thank you!

[@RRTench]

Brilliant! Thank you!!! I just bought ths set and had this spin-only cycle need frequently with my Samsung W/D set, which was a basically hidden option. Tbis is much more straight forward and logical.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

OMG thank you soooo much!!! I too had heavy wet bathroom rugs that I had to put outside and now my life has changed :)

Thanks you solved my control panel lock problem. Simple and easy😊

[@karenreaves6712]

Thank you so much!! It has driven me crazy as well!!

[@nancyhehmann9649]

It works! Thanks so very much. Couldn’t find information in manual that came with it. But for people that say rug etc are still wet. Can’t spin one thing alone like a rug or jacket. Manual says it makes load uneven and will not spin fast; only very slowly leaving extremely wet. Just had to add 2 towels with a Columbia fluffy jacket.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Yup, so true! Thanks for watching and commenting!

We appreciate your help, thank you!

Thank you. Trying it now. I bought mine the end of February in pacific blue.

[@fixthishouse3303]

Sounds beautiful! I hope it works well for you!

[@DanielleDeFreeze]

Oh wow thank you!! I have had a Maytag set for a while that I didn’t realize only had “rinse and spin” until after it was too late, and turning off the extra rinse doesn’t turn the rinse part off.. maybe it’s messed up, idk.. but I just bought this GE set and I saw it also has rinse and spin but I said well I’ll just deal with it.. Thank you for helping me fix this problem that I have been hating and complaining about for years!! 😄

[@fixthishouse3303]

Thanks for the note! I was relieved to find the spin only setting!

[@tamisalazar8365]

Life saver. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@vanessacascio6852]

Wonderful!! Thank you so much!!! I just keep rinsing & spinning this one sweatshirt & it keeps ending up soaked!!! I can't wait to see if this ends up dry! When we have full loads I don't have this issue, so I was really stumped!

@@fixthishouse3303 My mom and I just ordered similar model!! This Hack is literally a life saver! I was ringing out the clothes manually and putting the clothes in the dryer. Then taking it out the dryer and clothes still being very damp. I'm thinking what am I doing wrong? We haven't had a new dryer/washer in a long time. I am saying to myself, I know technology lol. All this technology today for simple things... My Grandmother had the old school washer and dryers, on and off, they just worked, Bless her Heart And Spirit! lol. Thank you for this tip! Would luv to connect with you sometime, do like an appliance duet lol. Side note, similar to your passion of appliance education, for my passion of teaching, I educate about Tax-Free Asset Income for families, business owner's, and KZbin Educators such as yourself. I am in the process of making educational videos on that specific subject and others. Please follow my page @raymondgtaxfree as I grow and develop my page I will also share yours! Looking To Connect!

[@scmarinemom24]

Thank you!! I've run the same hoodie twice in the rinse and spin cycle and it's still sopping wet. Spin is all I want!

[@fixthishouse3303]

Your hoodie may need to be balanced with another hoodie or a towel. One heavy-when-wet hoodie probably won’t spin well. I have tried.

[@scmarinemom24]

Yes, I think that's what I should have done, I ended up squeezing it out by hand. But the next load spun fine. Dang new technology. My old machine from the 90's would have spun it dry while banging the sides like it was at a rave.

[@glennahendren5055]

Never felt so dumb! Thank you!

[@blevert6573]

Thanks SO much!! I've been searching for the spin only option.😃 I may have to have my device serviced because even on max spin it's not spinning fast enough to drain the excess water.

[@fixthishouse3303]

If you are spinning just one item, the machine will struggle because it cannot balance itself.

​​@@idalivaldes7858 I simply take a old rag after each cycle and wipe out the rubber seal and make sure there is no water sitting in it and I have never had a moldy or odor problem. The clean you will get is far superior to a top loader and you will love having a front loader. The negative hype is simply all hype bs, pay it no mind.

I've hated this about my washer. Think of all the wasted water because they took what should be simple and computerized it. Short wash and rinse and spin have only 1 min difference in their cycles. I don't need rinse and spin and have used it only because I wanted spin only. Thank you for showing this!

[@fixthishouse3303]

Yes, it might make more sense to have a Spin only cycle that you can also rinse vs the other way around.

[@alwaystimeforcoffee6634]

How did that turn out? Was it a bathroom rug or heavy rug?

[@fixthishouse3303]

I wash a few bathroom style rugs at a time. Doing just one heavy rug will make it spin poorly. Hopefully the person above (Linda) will let us know how it went.
