Science Delivers Smarter Washers and Dryers

Consumers seek a lot of performance from their appliances. They want the best possible clothing care in the least amount of time. Some people want precise control over each load, while others — often referred to as "college students" — just want to pack as much into each load and get the chore done quickly.

Engineering advancements have reduced energy and water consumption while improving clothing care from washers and dryers. CCRC studies emerging equipment technologies to evaluate their impact on fabric care and wash chemistries.

  2. How can I spend less time in the laundry room?

  3. What can I do to minimize shrinking, fading and wrinkling?

    Try our GE Profile™ models with PerfecTemp. PerfecTemp is GE's most accurate temperature control system, featuring the extraordinary ability to maximize detergent effectiveness, while minimizing shrinking, fading and wrinkling.

  4. How can I keep my clothes looking their best?

    American's are busier than ever, which means we have less time to devote to laundry. It's still possible to keep clothes looking their best, with the GE Precision Care Wash System that cleans clothes gently and effectively. The unique step-down agitation slows the agitation at the end of the cycle, resulting in cleaner clothes and reduced wear. Your clothes will look newer longer. This feature is found in all GE Profile™ models.

  5. How can I prevent wrinkles?

    Try our models with the Wrinkle Care Extended Tumble feature. This feature adds about 20 minutes of no heat tumble to a drying cycle and reminds you every 90 seconds that clothes are ready. Your clothes come out wrinkle free!

  6. How do I get my family more involved in doing the laundry?

    With one touch operation anyone can do the laundry. Preprogrammed settings and consumer preferred cycles can be selected with a simple touch of a button.

  7. What is the best way to clean my fine knits and delicate fabrics?

    Our Hand Wash cycle gently pulses throughout the agitation cycle. Fine knits and delicate silks and cottons are thoroughly yet gently cleaned. Then our Delicate drying cycle senses the heat and never goes above 140 degrees, taking perfect care of your valuable garments.

  8. What can I do to keep my clothes looking newer longer?

    Sensor Dry Plus allows greater dryness sensitivity than standard machines, resulting in 20% faster dry times. The dryer automatically shuts off the heat when the clothes are dry, preventing overdrying, underdrying and shrinking — extending the life of the clothes.

  9. How can I find a washer and dryer to fit a small space?

    The GE Spacemaker® stackable washer and dryer are the perfect options for multi-family residences with limited space for large appliances. GE has designed this pair to conveniently fit into an apartment, condo or new and renovated homes with small spaces.
