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.

Operation Overview
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 fil
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:
Hot - 120°F (49°C)
Warm - 105°F (41°C)
Cold - 80°F (27°C)
Very Cold - 60°F (16°C)
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.

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).
1 2
As water passes through the fabric, its natural
cleansing action washes away dirt without.
damaging or tangling the fabric.
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.
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.
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 ге в 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: АП rinse cycles use cold water and the
(ATC) automatic temperature control is not used.
The cold rinse is the same temperature as the
incoming cold water supply.

"Spin Information
Maximum spin speeds will vary depending on the cycle:
Hand-wash 350 rpm
Delicate 500 rpm
Normal 1010 rpm.
Vigorous 1010 rpm
+ The Delicate cycle ramps up to maximum speed by
first spinning to 400 rpm then pausing, then to 500
rpm.
* Normal and Vigorous cycles ramp up to maximum
speed by first spinning to 400 rpm and pausing, then
10 750 rpm and pausing, then to 1010 rpm,
