General
The GE Profile Harmony Washer is part of the GE
Profile Harmony Clothes Care system utilizing the
latest developments in washing technology.
The Harmony Washer
does not use the typical
agitator found on
conventional washers.
Instead, the direct
drive motor, capable of
spinning at 1010 rpm,
and the 304 stainless
steel wash basket create
a centrifugal force that
pulls wash water through fabrics for a thorough
cleaning action. (See Operation Overview.)
Harmony Washers also utilize an automatic load
sensing system to determine load size and water
levels. The washer automatically fills the wash
basket with the appropriate amount of water
needed for optimal wash performance.
Other features include:
Communication Link to the Dryer - The washer
uses a serial cable to automatically inform the
dryer about the nature of the wash load, essentially
presetting the dryer controls so the user doesn’t
have to.
Auto-Balance Suspension - The washer is
programmed to correct out of balance situations.
(See Operation Overview.)
Flow-ThruTM Dispensers - Each of the four dispensers
is timed to release at the right time during the wash
cycle. Each reservoir is flushed with water to pre-
dilute the product before adding it to the washer.
This flushing action removes all product to help keep
the compartment clean and free flowing.
Note: The bleach dispenser fills during the main
wash to dispense the bleach and refills during the
rinse cycle to flush any remaining bleach from the
reservoir.
Overview
Direct Drive Motor - The washer does not use a
transmission or mechanical brake. Direct drive
technology results in fewer moving parts for
smooth, quiet operation. (See Motor Assembly.)
InfusorTM Wash - The washer has specific cycles
that aid in mixing the detergent/water solution, and
dispersing the load evenly in the wash water. (See
Operation Overview).
LCD Touch Screen Display - All washer control
functions, cycles, troubleshooting, and field service
diagnostics are accessed through a touch screen
display. The washer can also be powered up by
touching anywhere on the touch screen or any key
on the keypanel.
Centrifugal Wash - The washer uses a centrifugal
washing action to clean clothes instead of an
agitator. The basket spins, creating a strong flow of
water under the centrifugal force. As water passes
through the fabric, its natural cleansing action
washes away dirt without damaging or tangling the
fabric.
Plastic Top & Backsplash - The washer top and
backsplash have UV stabilizers to prevent yellowing
when exposed to sunlight.

Washer/Dryer Communication
Washer/Dryer communication allows your washer to
send cycle information to your dryer to create a dry
cycle that matches your wash load.
After the wash cycle is complete, communication
begins once either the washer or dryer Touch Screen
is activated or washer lid is up.
Once the information is sent, your dryer will create
the optimal dry cycle for your load.
If you have sorted your wash load by color or garment
and therefore selected color or garment on the
washer Touch Screen, upon transferring the
information to the dryer, the dryer will ask you to
select the fabric type.This is normal, and is done to
properly optimize drying time for the just-washed
load.After selecting the fabric type, the dryer display
screen will be shown.After reviewing, press START.
If the dryer display screen is off and you want to
use the “Washer Recommended Cycle” to dry your
clothes, touch the display screen on the dryer to

Operation Overview
Basic Wash Cycle
Note: See Component Locator Views for identification
and location of washer components.
After a load is placed in the basket, the user selects
the appropriate wash cycle on the LCD touch screen
and presses START.
Cycle time and wash patterns will vary depending
on user time adjustments, soil level adjustments,
fabric type, and wash-load weight.
Dry Load Sensing
Before an initial fill, the infusor rotates the dry
clothes load. This rotation is controlled by the
inverter which measures the amount of time it
takes for the motor to coast to a stop. The larger
the clothes load, the less momentum the motor is
capable of generating, so the faster it will stop. The
infusor will rotate back and forth up to four times.
This information is used to determine the initial
water fill level.
Water Fill
The washer automatically fills to the proper
level based on the load sensing measurements.
Depending on the cycle chosen and the quantity
of clothes, there are 27 possible water levels. This
information is stored in memory for the final rinse at
the end of the wash cycle. Water levels are matched
to load size using approximately one-third less
water than typical top load washers.
Note: The washer can use as little as 17.5 gallons of
water for small loads and has an average water use
of 27 gallons per load.
Wet Load Sensing
After the first fill, the infusor and basket lock
together and rotate to measure the clothes load.
During this time, the motor momentum is measured
again. The washer compares this information to
the previous dry load sensing measurements and
determines if additional water is required.
Note: Dry load and wet load sensing are used on all
cycles except the following:
SNEAKERS
COMFORTERS
BLANKETS (OTHERS)
BLANKETS (COTTONS)
THROW RUGS (WASHABLE)
The SNEAKERS cycle defaults to the minimum water
level. BLANKETS, THROW RUGS and COMFORTERS
cycle default to the maximum water level.
Wash Water Temperature
During the fill, the washer monitors and regulates
wash water temperatures within 5°F (-15°C) of
the target temperature. This accuracy is achieved
using a thermistor, located in the outer tub, which
monitors the tub water temperature during the fill
cycle.
Based on information received from the thermistor,
the inverter controls the hot and cold inlet valves
to achieve the desired wash temperature. (See
Thermistor/ATC Control Auto Temp.)
Target Water Temperatures:
Very Hot - 140°F (60°C)
Hot - 112°F (44.5°C)
Warm - 80°F (26.5°C)
Cold - 63°F (17°C)
Tap Cold - Consumer’s incoming water
temperature.
During the fill, the basket slowly rotates in a
clockwise direction. This action mixes the detergent
and water to assure proper distribution and assure
the thermistor is reading an accurate basket water
temperature.
Basket Wash
The infusor and wash basket lock together and
rotate clockwise and then counterclockwise.
This action mixes the detergent and water while
distributing the clothes evenly in the wash water.
The basket wash speed is based on fabric type and
load size. Delicate fabrics are gently rotated while
heavier fabrics are rotated more vigorously.

As water passes through the fabric, its natural
cleansing action washes away dirt without
damaging or tangling the fabric.
Water
Current
Fabric Soil
Infusor Wash
Following the centrifusion wash cycle, the basket
and infusor unlock. The infusor rotates to evenly
distribute the wash load while continuing to clean.
The redistribution of fabrics helps ensure that the
lint and dirt do not become trapped.
Spin
The infusor and wash basket lock together. The
basket spins very slowly at first. This allows dirty
wash water and lint to drain through the holes in the
bottom of the basket before a higher spin begins.
When the washer senses that the excess water has
drained, the wash basket accelerates to a higher
speed.
Spin speeds are adaptive to fabric type that is
selected by the user on the LCD touch screen. They
can be as slow as 350 rpm for hand-wash items
and up to 1010 rpm for heavier items. The spin is
designed to extract as much water and detergent as
possible without harming fabrics.
Note: During the spin cycle, excessive suds can
cause excessive torque on the motor. If the washer
detects this condition, it will run through the rinse,
drain, and spin cycle (up to three times) in an
attempt to eliminate the suds.
Note: The washer is programmed to correct out of
balance situations during spins. If the washer senses
an out of balance load, the spin is stopped. The
washer then refills to allow the infusor wash cycle to
redistribute the load before starting the spin again.
The washer attempts to rebalance the load three
times before optimizing the spin to a lower speed
where balance is sustainable.
Spray Rinse
The infusor and wash basket turn at a slow speed
while fresh, clean water is added to the wash load.
The spin cycle then drains this rinse water and
prepares the wash load for a final rinse.
Final Rinse
The washer retrieves the information it gathered
for adaptive fill cycle and uses that information to
refill the washer for the final rinse. Cold water enters
the basket through the fabric softener dispenser
to dilute the softener into the basket and rinse the
dispenser clean. The wash basket fills to the optimal
level and goes into a basket wash cycle where the
clothes and fabric softener are mixed thoroughly. A
final spin finishes the cycle.
Note: All rinse cycles use cold water and the
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) is not used.
The cold rinse is the same temperature as the
incoming cold water supply.
After several seconds of clockwise spinning, the
basket slows down and stops. The wash water pools
back into the wash basket. The wash basket starts
spinning in the counterclockwise direction creating
the same cleaning action. The washer will change
direction (up to four times) before going to the next
cycle.
Centrifusion Wash
The locked infusor and wash basket begin a
clockwise spin (figure 1). The speed of the spin is
customized to the load type and fabric type. As the
basket spins faster, it creates a strong flow of water
under the centrifugal force (figure 2).
