Laundry day can be a breeze, especially when you have a GE washer. However, if your GE washer lacks an agitator, adding fabric softener can seem like a puzzle. Fear not, for this comprehensive guide will illuminate the path to fabric softener bliss.
Identifying the Fabric Softener Dispenser
The first step is to locate the fabric softener dispenser. In GE washers without agitators, it’s typically a small, cup-like compartment near the top of the washer. Look for a symbol of a flower or a fabric softener bottle on the dispenser lid.
Choosing the Right Fabric Softener
Not all fabric softeners are created equal. For GE washers without agitators, liquid fabric softeners are recommended. Avoid using fabric softener sheets or crystals, as they may not dissolve properly.
Measuring the Fabric Softener
The amount of fabric softener you need depends on the size of your load. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the fabric softener bottle for specific measurements.
Adding the Fabric Softener
Once you have measured the fabric softener, pour it directly into the fabric softener dispenser. Do not overfill the dispenser, as this can cause excess sudsing.
Starting the Cycle
Close the fabric softener dispenser lid and start your wash cycle as usual. The fabric softener will be automatically released during the rinse cycle.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with fabric softener distribution, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
- Check the dispenser: Ensure that the fabric softener dispenser is properly closed and not clogged.
- Use the correct fabric softener: Double-check that you are using liquid fabric softener specifically designed for washers without agitators.
- Clean the dispenser: Over time, fabric softener residue can accumulate in the dispenser. Clean it regularly with warm water and a mild detergent.
- Contact GE support: If you continue to experience problems, contact GE customer support for further assistance.
Additional Tips
- For optimal results, add the fabric softener towards the end of the fill cycle.
- If you prefer a stronger scent, consider adding a small amount of fabric softener to a spray bottle filled with water and misting it over your clothes after the wash cycle.
- Avoid using too much fabric softener, as it can leave a residue on your clothes.
The Ultimate Fabric Softener Experience
Now that you have mastered the art of adding fabric softener to your GE washer without an agitator, you can enjoy the benefits of soft, fluffy laundry every time. Say goodbye to rough fabrics and welcome a world of comfort and freshness.
