Door Gasket; Moving And Storage - GE GFWS1705 Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

Care and cleaning
Dispenser Drawer Area
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer.
Residue should be removed once or twice a month.
Remove the drawer by first pulling it out until it stops. Then reach back into the
left or right rear corner (depending on model) of the drawer cavity and press down
firmly on the lock tab, pulling out the drawer.
Remove the inserts from the bleach and fabric softener compartments and the
detergent insert. Rinse the inserts and the drawer with very warm water to remove
traces of accumulated laundry products.
To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue
from the upper and lower parts of the recess.
Return inserts to the proper compartments. Replace the dispenser drawer.
To reduce buildup in the Dispenser Drawer area:
Use only HE
High-Efficiency
detergent.

Door Gasket

Open the washer door. Using both hands, press down the door
gasket. While holding down the door gasket, inspect the interior of
the gasket by pulling it down with your fingers. Remove any foreign
objects if found trapped inside this gasket. Make sure there is
nothing blocking the holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning the door gasket, remove your hands
and the gaskets will return to the operating position.
Long Vacations
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather will be
below freezing.

Moving and Storage

Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather. When moving the washer, the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts
removed during installation. See Installation Instructions in this manual. If these parts are not available, they can be
ordered by visiting our Website at GEAppliances.com or by calling GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES.
