GFWH1400DWW
GE GFWH1400DWW Front-Load Washer, 4.1 cu ft Service
Most common issues on this model
- Door boot and dispenser drawer that hold moisture and smell
- Drain pump blocked by coins or hair grips
- Heavy vibration when shipping bolts were never removed
- Door lock that stops a cycle from starting
The GFWH1400DWW is listed as a GE ENERGY STAR 4.1 DOE cu ft capacity front-load washer. Washers of this type are installed in laundry rooms, closets and under counters, and are often stacked with a matching dryer.
Front-load washers seal the door with a rubber boot, so moisture and detergent residue collect in the boot folds and the dispenser. When an owner reports a smell, we inspect both. A cycle that will not start often leads us to the door lock and latch, and a cycle that stops with water inside leads us to the drain pump filter. If the drum shakes hard in spin, we check that the washer is level and that the shipping bolts were removed at installation.
We read the model and serial on the label because this number can cover more than one orderable version. The price is written before work, and repairs are warranted for 30 days.

Why does my front-load washer smell?
Moisture and detergent residue collect in the rubber boot folds and the dispenser drawer. We inspect and clean both and check the drain. We tell you what we find and give a written price before any parts are ordered.
The washer will not start a cycle. What is checked?
The door lock and latch are the first checks, since the washer will not start unless the door is confirmed locked. We also check the control and wiring, and then explain the cause.
Why does it vibrate so much?
Common causes are a washer that is not level, shipping bolts that were never removed, or an unbalanced load. We check each, then the suspension, before recommending a repair.
