Overview
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-Thru™ 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 reaming bleach from the reservoir.
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.)
Infusor™ Wash - The washer has specific cycles that aids 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.
