GE Washer Repair – Amsterdam, OH (GTW485ASWWB)

Samuel made a service call to a home on Ridgewood Drive in Amsterdam, OH after the customer reported her GE washer would not turn on. No fault was found with the machine itself. The issue traced back to how the Start button was being pressed, and the washer was verified running normally before Samuel left.

The Problem

WON’T TURN ON

The Repair

Complaint: washer intermittently won’t start. Found customer pressing and holding the Start button for approximately 3 seconds, which cancels the cycle (per the “hold 3 sec to cancel” label printed under the Start button). Customer stated the owner’s manual was confusing on this point. Demonstrated correct operation: short press of Start to begin the cycle; showed customer the cancel label on the control panel. Had customer start a load herself and verified the washer starts and runs normally. Unable to access SmartHQ Service for stored codes/software check due to no cell service at the residence. No fault found; unit operating normally. Customer instructed, good to go.
