GE Washer Repair – Canton, OH (GTWN4950LOWS)

A GE washer in Canton, OH was leaving half the clothes dry while the other half stayed very wet after the wash cycle. The customer had to run extra spin cycles to get their laundry properly drained. We found the drain hose was laying on the floor, allowing the water to drain out during the wash.

The Problem

After the clothes cycle is complete half of the clothes are still dry and we have to do another spin cycle bc the other half are still very wet.

Diagnosis

The drain hose was laying on the floor, allowing the water to drain out. This prevented the washer from maintaining proper water levels during the wash cycle, leaving some clothes high and dry while others remained soaked.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Repositioned drain hose to proper height and secure mounting
• Result: Washer now maintains water levels throughout entire cycle

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE washers are generally reliable machines, and this GTWN4950LOWS model represents solid value in the top-load category. Installation issues like improper drain hose positioning are always worth fixing since they require no parts and restore full functionality immediately.

Maintenance Tips for GE Washers

• Check that your drain hose maintains proper height (typically 30-96 inches) and isn’t kinked or laying flat
• Clean the lint filter regularly on GE top-load models to prevent drainage issues
• Use HE detergent in proper amounts to avoid excess suds that can interfere with spin cycles
