Introduction - GE Profile PTWN8055MMS Technical Service Manual

General
The GE Profi le Harmony Washer is part of the GE Profi le Clothes
Care system utilizing the latest developments in washing
technology.
The washer does not use the typical agitator found on
conventional washers. Instead, the direct drive motor, capable
of spinning at 1010 rpm, and the 304 stainless steel wash
basket create a centrifugal force that pulls wash water through
fabrics for a thorough cleaning action. (See
These washers also utilize an automatic load sensing system to
determine load size and water levels. The washer automatically
fi lls the wash basket with the appropriate amount of water
needed for optimal wash performance.
Other features include:
QuietClose Hydraulic Glass Lid - Extra wide glass lid closes
gently.
Flow-Thru Dispensers - Each of the 3 dispensers is timed to
TM
release at the right time during the wash cycle. Each reservoir
is fl ushed with water to pre-dilute the product before adding it
to the washer. This fl ushing action removes all product to help
keep the compartment clean and free fl owing.
Note: The bleach dispenser fi lls with water during the main wash to dispense the bleach and refi lls during
the rinse cycle to fl ush any remaining bleach from the reservoir.
Direct Drive Motor - The washer does not use a transmission or mechanical brake. Direct drive technology
results in fewer moving parts for smooth, quiet operation. (See
Infusor Wash - The washer has specifi c cycles that aid in mixing the detergent/water solution and
TM
dispersing the load evenly in the wash water. (See
Centrifugal Wash - The washer uses a centrifugal washing action to clean clothes instead of an agitator. The
basket spins creating a strong fl ow of water under the centrifugal force. As water passes through the fabric,
its natural cleansing action washes away dirt without damaging or tangling the fabric.
Auto-Balance Suspension - The washer is programmed to correct out-of-balance situations. (See
