GE Spacemaker GUD 24 inch Washer & Dryer : Full Overview + Washing / Operating Tips 

I also have this laundry center and yes if you put it on bulky for everything it will fill all the way however if you want to use the other cycles it works perfectly if you get a water decanter fill it up pour it over your clothes two times not more. It will think the load is heavier and fill up. It will start washing when you check it it doesn’t look like it has enough water in it but then it adds more and you will be surprised that it fills up all the way. I’ve done this trick and I’ve not had a problem with it you could use any cycle as long as you add those two decanters of water over the top of your clothes.

You just saved me so much time and headache, and my apartment complex from me complaining 👍🏾

This review was awesome! I just moved into a condo and inherited this new unit and I was afraid that it was broken. You did an excellent job explaining the features and how to operate the unit and I am so happy that you did. I was getting ready to call a service repairman, you have saved me tons of money. Bless your heart.

Thank you soooo much. Just bought a new house with this unit in it so you can imagine my surprise and frustration when I couldn’t get the water to load fully. I was worried I would have to shell out a couple of grand to get a new one. Your video was heaven sent!

I just bought this unit and I’m very grateful for your review

Thanks so much... I just moved in and one of these is in the new place. I used it once and it worked. I've been trying for an hour to get the thing to work and it only works using bulky... your a life saver

Just purchased GEstackable washer/dryer. Lowes store Egg Harbor. The entire staff made it a GREAT experience. From the switchboard,customer service Megan,Appliance Mah, store manager Mr,Jackson and the two delivery gentlemen . All were professional, patient, very helpful to me, I highly urge friends,neighbors everyone to shop at Lowes, The customer is treated well!!!

I've been watching a few other videos regarding this machine. People still looking for answers, I'm going to go back and recommend yours. Have a great day!

Omg!! Thank you so much!! I just got one of these installed in my apartment and was so confused about how to load it. I didn't understand why there was so small amount of water. Thanks again!!

JAYME JAY YOU ROCK! Mine was delivered today and was so confused! cause it's super loud, spins for an eternity, and since I didn't know about the "bulky" setting and tried to wash just one sheet I found out the sheet didn't get completely wet. You've been so helpful. Thank you

I just got my older washer and dryer replaced that i loved with this model. I dislike that it does not allow me to wash a large load. Your video has given me a peice of mind and i will check to see it i can make it work the way you have. Thank you.

Thanks for showing this video because I just gotten a Ready to move in 12 x 36 Cabin House and it has this wash and dryer unit in it , & this video has shown me how to use it . Thanks

I just purchased the 27" and was so frustrated by the water level issue. Thank you so much for the "bulky" recommendation and this video.

Thank u!!!! Thank you for the advise on the water and cycles! We are on vacay and this is the w/d set in our unit and I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to wash a load of clothes! I’m gonna use your method

You are very good at this. Very thorough. Thank you.

Was a little confused when I first got mine... but this video tips were spot on and I can live it. Thanks

Just bought this appliance and thank you for your video, very helpful 😀

Thank Thank you for this video! I received this washing machine as a replacement and I thought it was broken. I now know how to use it thanks to your video!! ❤️

Thanks for this review. The back view was very helpful. Thanks for sharing the wash issues and the sounds. This is a very useful review.

thank you so much for this all inclusive video. my apt complex just installed this today for me, and it was such a different machine it raised so many questions! all of which were answered here! :)

Thank you so much this video helped me so much ,, your a sweetheart for making this and making my life more enjoyable doing laundry

I just want to thank you so much for making this video because I really thought my washer was broke I really Learned a lot that they do not have any manual

This is a great introduction video for this machine. I just purchased it and appreciate the tip to leave the cycle selector on "Bulky". Another tip I learned from trial and error is that although the washer basket looks very large, do not fill it all the way up with clothes! The water level will not go all the way up to the top edge of the wash basket, even on the "Bulky" highest water setting. So, I fill the wash basket up half way with clothes, the water covers them well and they get adequately washed. The washer spins very well. The dryer is a slow one and your tip about setting it on "Optimum" is the best and highest heat. It is not a super hot dryer but does the job.

This is a good video in explanation and showing images. Thank you. I was wondering bout the phone looking piece too. Just got it yesterday we don't have gas but washing to rinsing, spinning loud loud.

Just bought this machine so ur vid was extremely helpful

Great video. So glad that you showed the back with ventilation. Amazon doesn’t have any images of it. Thanks

Thank you so much for posting this video i thought i was going crazy like where is the water! Video was very helpful

Congratulations, excelent explanation 💖

I'm glad I found you and I'm just not getting used to this new washer and dryer that my apartment complex install this week and thanks for the tip about the bulk cycle

Lifesaver- great job and thank you!😅

Thank you for sharing this video. It HELPED a lot! 😊

Great review, on point with everything said. I was looking for more info in the u+ connect plug and module but thanks much

Wow amazing review so much useful info. Thanks 😊

I couldn't get the water to fill so I came to this video and wow, that automatic fill is so off! Thank you for informing me!

You did a awesome demonstration thank you

Thanks for helping me I just bought it today! It actually wasn’t filling up with water at first so I was getting so frustrated I kicked it and now it works 😁

Also if you wouldnt mind doing a video of how you deep clean both the washer and the dryer i would so appreciate it youve been so helpful!

Thanks - I heard the stop and start and didn’t know what was happening

Great review and tips! Thanks for sharing. My wife and I bought this unit in July of 2020. Generally it's worked well despite the quirks, but several months in, we noticed a loud rubbing noise that turned into a squeaking/chirping noise (almost like a mouse!). After replacing the motor belt, the issue continued. GE and the repair person we used determined it to be the transmission so they replaced the entire interior mechanism (drum, agitator, transmission, everything). We were shocked that the unit started to show problems on several months after our purchase. It seems to be working well again after the repair and the noise is gone, but I was wondering if you or anyone reading has encountered this issue before. We hope to use this unit for many years ahead, but it's disheartening that something could go wrong so early on in the lifecycle. Thanks in advance -- happy washing/drying and stay safe, everyone!

mom you saved my life❤️thank uu

Thank you do much. Going to try it now

Thank you. I just found an apartment that has this and obviously it needs a cleaning and I never experienced one like this. Thank you for posting this video😊 cause i don’t remember the name and I haven’t moved in yet so I just wanted to be prepared when it’s time lol

We had similar GE washer & Dryer combo few times in the past 40 years. They all had the same problem of not filling the tub with enough water. It is made that way to save water. Our very first unit lasted 15 years. We used to add water into the tub before we turned it on. However, the laundry load did not rinse out well. So we had to run an extra rinse and spin cycle. Not sure if that will work with the new ones. The best small space/ compact size washer & Dryer set is the one that sells individually. It is easier to move/hock up and repair. Finally we never ever use gas vs. electric. Too many issues with gas appliances. GE sells the same model but with electric power source, and it is actually cheaper than the gas model. Nice review.

Thank you so much! Great and useful information!

I have this same unit. Thanks for this overview:) FYI GE actually recommends that the detergent is added *before* the clothes are put in.

Great video well explained thank you just got one put in not a fan but am renting and that's what I got

i read the manual& this machine is designed to minimize water & shows pix of the water level being than the clothes! Unusual compared to traditional standard washers but it agitates in a way that washes the clothes w/ less water like HE (high efficiency) machines. This is why the manual recommends HE liquid detergent.

thank you so much for the advice, we are looking for one right now and we don't have the space so we might have to choose the same model,

Very informative, helpful! Thanks!

Thanks for posting this video.

This was super helpful. Thanks for sharing 😃

This was really helpful. Thank you.

Thanks alot for the review...it really helped.

Thanks , great presentation!

This is one of the best reviews on YT. You did a great job! Shame it’s so stingy with water on the regular cycles.

Thanks to you I learned to use my W/D my manual given by my apt complex was not much help 🎉thank youu

Hello. I have the exact same machine. What I do for my liquid detergent is to wait until my tank fills then I add the the detergent and a small bucket of water I use my hands to soak the clothing in more and I make sure the add all that the beginning of the cycle so I don’t forget. 😊.

Thank you for the video. Would you happen to know how to remove the side vent knockout?

This review/tutorial has been so helpful. I do not have a manual with my unit, so I have a question. What is the difference between the Delicate and the Easy Care cycles on the dryer? Which is hotter/cooler? Thank you!

Thanks for making the video. I find that the liquid fabric softener leaves it’s Colour in several clothes after a wash. Do you have any suggestions?

Excelent explanation 💖

I realize having too many items in the wash machine can cause rattling and a loud noise from the machine; after I remove the too many items there is still an issue where I may need to overide the sensor; not sure how to do this. Don

This was very helpful

Thanks for sharing this: very helpful. I bought mine 2 days ago. In my washer, the middle orange sticker which is covered by the lid has been torn off(there is a trace showing it was there before). I feel I’ve been sold something that had been returned before. I am going to return this.

Hi i have same model . But i have a issue with that i trying to use it my washer working perfectly but dryer doesn't work. I put it on more dryer and press start but its doesn't start

When starting it on the bulky items mine is only light up the one and wash button. It isn’t rinsing or spinning my laundry? I need help

I have the exact same washer, because it is load sensing it fills up with a lil water at first and tries to wash, then it will stop and fill-up with more water to the correct level... just don't overload it or it will never have enough water ... where is the filter for the washer?? Would love to see if anything has ever got lost in there.. a tip came up with to clean out the agitator , remove the softener cup and use the warmest water possible to rinse it out and then stick a toilet brush , or a bottle brush (new of course) ive done this a few times cuz it will get thick and grimey and mildew will start growing after cleaning run an empty load wash with hot water and vinegar

Very helpful video ☺️

where is the filter for the washer machine ? how do you clean it out ?

do you know how to make it soak for longer than 15 mins and without it draining after it being paused?

My washer has a little filter the shape is rectangular and u can take it out whats the best way to clean it cuz when i opened it it looked like wet paper towel and i was wondering if thats the filter or just debris from the clothes

than you so much, can you tell me how to drain the water, I used my brothers, and the water still there for 2 days!

Thanks for doing this. I've been struggling for 6 weeks to get this washer to work and it doesn't empty correctly. With all that you have shared, how can GE sell this? Who has time to stand there and make adjustments during both the wash and dry ing cycles?

My stackable will not turn on at all. I have flipped my breaker and all…..nothing!! What do you think it could be?

I noticed mine has a lot of rust at the top of the washer. How do you clean that?

I’ve had one of these units for about a year and the lack of water hasn’t deterred the quality of the was. I found other newer generation washers do the same

So the more dry never moves to less dry, it just runs and never turns off? I have to put it at a timed drying. I don’t understand this washer dryer set at all 😞

thank you for your video ❤️

Thank you Because I was like WTH, where's the water? Lol. Very Helpful!

I’m not getting any hot water or warm. Seen a video earlier said to use #10 on water cycles who’s is heavy. Is that correct?

Question regarding a Delicate wash .... If I set it on Bulky for high water level, can I turn it to delicate so agitator will adjust ????

I also have to go through all these extra steps to get the GE washer/dryer combo to fill up. Also, the washer is so loud. It sounds like geese are being killed. I had another GE washer and dry combo and really liked it, but this one has issues.

I would like to know if you select pre soak+2 rinse the wash cycle going to start or just is for soak ? Because the mine doesn't work

Thank you.. It was helpful!!

Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

Does your dryer door ever get stuck closed? If so, how do you open it again? Do you have to unplug the whole thing or is there a button to press when that happens?

Very helpful. Thank you

Lights comes on the washer but no water. What's wrong?

Hi I have a question about GE spacemaker laundry dryer dryer if I push the bottom no power

Does anyone know why my washing machine doesn’t drain the clothes all the way they stay soaking wet but just a little bit of water left at the bottom. It’s the same as this one

my washer is a brand new one and i cant get it to run a full cycle it always stop on me and i have to put it on the drain and spin cycle in oror it to spin out because it wont go into the rince cycle either

I cannot get the start button to work. . .my husband has to do it. What am I doing wrong?

Hi. Thanks for this video. It was very helpful. One note about the water: I saw the same thing that you did and at that same point in the cycle-- the first time the washer stops filling. It has VERY little water at that moment. I let it run, just out of curiosity, and after a few minutes it began to fill a second time. This time it filled sufficiently to wash the load. I'm curious if you tried letting it go. You did say that one time the clothes were still soapy after the cycle, but that may be a different issue. I use the second rinse to make sure the soap is completely washed out. Thanks again for a great video! EDIT: I think it may fill this way as part of the load sensing technology. The second time the washer started to fill, the clothes were compacted at the bottom of the drum, from the initial agitation. That may be how the washer knows how much water to fill.

Hi.. I have one..sometimes the water keep running in and it not letting out the water..

I just got this unit yesterday. I first watched this video before purchasing it and came back to it today because the spin cycle is sooooooo loud ! I'm in a condo and I may need to put a piece of wood under it to buff some vibration from it so my downstairs neighbors aren't aware every time I do laundry. It's much noisier than the stackable I just got rid of. Kind of scared actually of it lol , I may take a video to bring to loews to see if this is suppose to be so loud and the spin is insanely fast 😳

thank you so much for the video

So helpful!

Hello my washer not powering up is there a fuse on the machine

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. WOW. Sorry for the Caps

Does anyone know how to clear out below the lint trap?
