To use liquid detergent in your new GE washer, follow these simple steps:
Determine the Type of Dispenser: Check your GE washer to see what type of detergent dispenser it has. Most GE washers have a dedicated compartment for liquid detergent. It is usually labeled "Liquid" or "Detergent" and is separate from the compartments for bleach and fabric softener.
Measure the Detergent: Liquid detergent typically comes with a measuring cap or a built-in dispenser. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent bottle to measure the appropriate amount of liquid detergent for your load size. Using too much detergent can result in excessive sudsing and may affect the washer's performance.
Load the Laundry: Open the washer's door and load your laundry into the drum. Make sure not to overload the washer, as this can affect cleaning performance.
Add the Liquid Detergent: Locate the detergent dispenser and pour the measured liquid detergent into the appropriate compartment. Some dispensers have a maximum fill line, so be mindful not to overfill it.
Select the Wash Cycle: Close the washer's door and select the desired wash cycle on the control panel. GE washers offer various wash cycles tailored to different fabric types and soil levels. Choose the one that best suits your laundry needs.
Optional: Pre-treat Stains: If you have stubborn stains, you can pre-treat them with a stain remover or a small amount of liquid detergent before starting the wash cycle.
Start the Wash Cycle: Press the "Start" button to begin the wash cycle. The washer will automatically dispense the liquid detergent at the appropriate time during the cycle.
Cleaning the Dispenser: After each use, wipe any excess detergent from the dispenser and its surroundings to prevent buildup and ensure proper functioning for the next load.
Always refer to your GE washer's user manual for specific instructions and guidelines. Following the manufacturer's recommendations will help you get the best results and maintain the washer in good condition.
