Thank you very much for taking the time to create this video. You are very knowledgeable and thorough, keep it up!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for this from someone who has had this washer since February and never really learned the ins of outs of using it. Very helpful and informative...wish I saw this before I bought it! I found your video because I needed to learn how to do the rinse only (even though it's obvious) ...and you gave me the answer LOL I love this washing machine too!
Glad I could help!
This is a first for me.So trying to understand the manual,for me was difficult. Thanks for this video it has been very helpful.😊
Excellent review and advice I enjoyed this video full of demonstration on the washer as well as the functions. Please continue to upload videos on appliances.
Thank you!
We just ordered ours yesterday it's coming june 16 can't wait thanks for the guide i think it's going to be a big upgrade from our old basic washer which had manual settings and no "smart features"
Congrats!!! You're going to love it!
Thanks 👍 for the walk through, I wasn't sure if it was me or what, when the spin cycle it made a awful noise, didn't know I had to put clothes in a certain way, mine's have the agitator in the middle...
I appreciate you making this video because the user manual is SEVERELY lacking!
You're welcome!
Thanks! Thorough review :)
You're very welcome, Walter! Consider Subscribing! :)
I'd like to see the colors cycle with deep rinse and hear what this unit sounds like on this setting on defaults with deep rinse added.
Thank you so much for the instructional video on the machine. My machine didn't come with a manual so I was lost.
Glad I could help
Very nice video man!
Thanks Matthew!!
After of having a front loader for 15 years, I went back to a top loader and got this one, I hope it doesn't disappoint. in 15 years I had to repair my front loader 2 times.
My Front loader did a great job cleaning all my clothes and sheets that ever went in it.
Front loaders are definitely more efficient in terms of water consumption and quality of clean. The top loaders use more water and have shorter run cycles in comparison. With that being said, I think the GTW720BSNWS is a half way decent washer with a plethora of options for washing specifically stained garments. What do you think of yours?
@@borregoimages8117 My Big issue with this washer is unbalance loads all the time, I always make sure everything is even all the way around the drum and somehow it's placing pants and shirts to one side a lot of times for some unknown reason so once I have an unbalance load in the middle of the wash time, I have to remove everything around so it's a pain to do this most of the time, my front loader put the cloths in and forget it until it's done..Plus it's loud during the spin cycle, it sounds like a helicopter taking off is the Best way I can describe it. I would like it more if I didn't have to baby sit the wash load so I'm kind of of disappointed to be totally Honest, the thing about it I thought it would work like my mothers Top loader when I was growing up, she never had any problems with her Top loaders of the 70's and even 90's.. What happen now to washers, if anything they should be better NOT worse ??
@@efirce Man I'm sorry to hear it. I have my gripes with it too. But I'm not disappointed persay. But I agree, with all the advancements in technology it feels like these units don't hold up as well as our grandparents units. It's sad.
I wish the deep fill worked on colors. I then took it to active wear for more water
My 7 year old Cabrio finally bit the dust. Bearing started going out on final spin. Replacing it with this model except in Diamond Gray. Get it next Wednesday and can't wait
Hey Robert, how's the washer?
Thanks for video. I just bought one. I could not figure load size select. It spins and says Sensing. I assume sensors tell machine load size, weight and how much water to use. It seemed so little, like only enough to wet. It never got soapy and Downy half spill in. Should I water Downy down? Also, mine bigger cu. so since small load is that why it spins with some off balance and slight knocking noise? I thought no way clothes clean but it did great! I super impressed. I've done 2 loads so far. It got so hot that top panel got all steamed up with droplets and glass inside too. Maybe Sanitizer on? What a cool feature! I'm still learning it. I didnt know about power supply issue so do you recommend unplugging? I guess memory (favorite cycle?) is why it needs constant power?
When you open the lid it lights up only for 5 minutes not 15. At least that's what mine does. Great video!
I may have exaggerated a teensy bit. 😆
I just got the same one can you show me yours drops the water? Mine does small strikes of water.i thought it would just pour out evenly.
I'd like to see the colors/normal cycle with deep rinse.
How does sanitizer cycle work? I just bought this machine for that function.
You bought the machine for that function, but don't know how it works?
Mine turns on but it drops a little water, and my clothes are not washed at all when the shekel is finished, the clothes are dry, and the washing machine is new
Yes i am definitely in the market for a new washer and dryer. Ive been dragging my feet wondering which product is best?
Samsung/LG/GE all manufacturer good washers. Are you thinking front loader or top loader?
Considering a top load large enough to wash a king size comforter
@lisarussell6099 anything above 4.2cuft will work. :)
It makes noise at every point it goes through. But my biggest complaint is how little water it allows into the machine. Deep Fill doesn’t always work…hardly ever works, IMO. I end up with the clothes on top of the water, there is so little of it. I agree with you about how the lights come on when you open the lid. That’s annoying. All in all, I’m hoping to get rid of mine as soon as possible. All the fancy sensors are needless. That machine has power over you because you can’t set it how you want it. Plus the noise the agitator makes sounds like it’s being strangled.
I'm sorry to hear that, but if you select a cycle that has deep fill you can press it multiple times to add 3gal of water each time. As for the agitator, our unit is Direct drive. So there's no real grinding sound coming from ours persay atleast nothing out of the ordinary...
As for the noise, where's it coming from in the washer? It could either be a belt if it's belt driven or a bearing...
Thank you for this video and Do you work when the door is open thanks
So, if the tub isn't spinning, the washer stays "unlocked" so you can freely throw a garment in there while its washing. But once the tub engages the spin cycle, the door will lock. The washer is inoperable while the door is open.
I just got this machine and its nice really nice i like it BUT lint is my biggest promblem i feel like it doesnt wash my clothes is that just me not knowing how to wash clothes or my machine not acually washing please HELP ME !!😫
Thank you! But where can I add the essence booster?
Directly onto the clothes. Those dissolve rather quickly. Not the tray! Thank you for watching!
Its definitely a great unit. It offers alot of ways to personalize your wash that our previous Samsung lacked. Its also very quite and efficient.
Just got this washing machine and have washed one load of towels. I'm a little more than a tad disappointed so far. Maybe user error, but the water barely covered the towels! The water saver feature sounds good in marketing, but it doesn't get my laundry clean. The manual says not to use the Deep Fill option on a regular basis. Gonna try another load now and see how it goes.
I use the Deep fill on a daily. I havent had any issues.
@@borregoimages8117 Yeah, I have since customized all our typical settings to include deep fill. Seems to be okay.
@@myjunkmail007 how did u customize it to work on all settings? I have the ge profile ptw washing machine though, do u know if i can do it?
I've gone full washes before and found parts of clothes that never got wet!! Do you have any tips on this besides constantly having to go open the machine and re-adjusting the load? I'm not liking this thing. I wish you could install an agitator to the basket, as feel that would solve the problem
I'd probably suggest washing like items or placing the heaviest garments first. By that I mean lining the tub with the heavy stuff at the bottom and lighter garments on top. Or selecting the proper cycle with a heavy soil level and deep wash.
I've seen other reviews that say you have to watch the fill on every load and that you may need to use deep fill on all cycles
Yup! It never fills enough water!
This is the worst washer I've ever had. Never fills up. Deep fill is a joke, at least on my machine. So frustrated 😫😤
@@lynnwarner4075 I agree. Total waste of money. I would fire the guy that designed this washer.
Thinking about getting this washer but wanted to make sure I can turn off all the sounds? Also approx how long does it take to start up? And if I put clothes in washer can I turn it off or does it auto turn off after a bit also? Thanks for making this video!!!
we order our set coming on June 16 I'm not sure if you can silence the sound completely but I think you can lower the volume if you look at 5:11 on the top right of the control panel there is a sound button
I might be able to let you know when we get ours
@crystal mae11 press and hold Sound and that will turn off the sound.
@@borregoimages8117 It's been almost a year. Has the washer given you any problems?
Nope. Not a single issue. :)
Hey, So there is no way that the washer shuts off? Is it always on standby? If you lift the lid up to dry and hit the power button after is that a work around? Looking into buying this unit but my wife is not happy with that feature. :-) thanks
Yeah, believe it or not it's always on standby. My old Samsung had to be turned on before operating so it was a bit of a turn off at first. But 2 yrs later and I don't really pay attention to it.
if not what would u get?
Do u have to leave that box out in the detergent or does it have to be closed when u use it?
You want to make sure you close it before running the cycle.
Never go to an italian restaurant 🤣
Have this machine, but find the spin cycle, is quite rocky and yes, the machine is leveled and the clothes are placed in properly [evenly]. It can bounce around during the spin cycle and even hit the inside of the machine, when the spin cycle starts. Does yours do that?
It does, but I only experience that with a heavy mixed load. Then it just corrects itself.
@@borregoimages8117 Thanks for your response. This video shows what we are seeing: ua-cam.com/video/fvUlhBargXc/v-deo.html
How do you select how large or small the load is?
So the model below this one, Model GTW465ASNWW is a 4.5 cuft top loader with a traditional dual action agitator that has your load size settings. This particular doesn't offer it because it goes based on weight.
if the clothes fall in the middle of the washing machine do i have to pause the load & fix it?
Lol, nah.
What settings corresponds to a permanent press?
Casuals IS the permanent press cycle
I have had my for about a year and now it doesn't drain on all cycles and will not balance in the drain and spin. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?
Lissa, have you tried to repositioning the garments in the washer after it rebalances the tub and goes into the second spin?
As for the drain pump you may want to unplug the unit wait 2 minutes then plug it back in to see if the drain pump motor drains the water on those cycles. Otherwise, you may have to set up service on the computer module or pump motor. :/
I hate the bleach dispenser! The old washer, I used to pour the bleach directly in the tub while the water is filling.
I bought this new set and when I plugged in
my dryer it just blinks and doesn’t start . Has anyone had this problem ??
I have not. :/
Did you get it fixed?
In the booklet it says that you can add detergent and you don’t have to do that every time have you figured that one out
It turns on when you open as a courtesy. Because how long do you really take to load the machine anyways. The dryer doesnt do that as a courtesy to kids jumping in dryers i guess and accidentally locking the door and starting. Just my opinion. Nice video by the way.
Our finished product are wet clothes. Needs spun. How to I get to the gtw720bsnws diagnostic mode ?
Is it not set on a higher spin cycle?
Is the drain pump motor not the water out?
Or is it legit not spinning?
I press start and it’s just spinning what am I doing wrong Ido it take a while to start
Itll spend a minute spinning to balance the tub. I would suggest that you help the unit out by balancing the tub by distributing the clothes evenly throughout the tub.
What model do you have? I'm looking at model # PT900BPTRS . I was trying to compare the 2 units. Yours looks a little bit different.
I've got it. I found the model number.
I would recommend anything with a direct drive motor. And if you have deep stains maybe something with an agitator.
Yep a direct drive motor.
I've been looking at reviews all morning. There are really a lot of mixed reviews, so e people hate it, and it doesn't work, and others love it.
We just got our same washer with the same model number.
How's your spins? Ours shakes big time!
In circles... haha,
All joking aside, our unit rates similarly to our previous Samsung unit.
Are the legs leveled by chance?
If so, a mixed load would throw it off balance.
@@borregoimages8117 second load was okay.
I was in the living room watching TV didn't sound like it was shaking... I should got up and checked... So, yeah might have been off balance.... Thank you for the reply! 😊
How can I clean or wash out all the dirt from washer? That’s a big issue I have! I wash and my clothes comes out dirty🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
If the washer has dirt in it, consider vacuuming the dirt to not damage your drain pump motor. Otherwise, if the clothes is dirty consider pret-treating, upping the detergent amount, changing the temp to cold to not bake in the stain and select the proper cycle.
Does urs have a lot of vibration when washing?
Honestly speaking, no it does not. Even on high spin.
What’s the soil setting do?
It increases the wash time.
Any idea how If we can soak longer than 2 hours?
If you toggle it'll probably cap you at 2hrs.
That washer turning on when you open the lid is like a car ignition turning on just because you opened the door
I agree wholeheartedly. It's silly to nit pick but it's kinda irritating. Lol thanks for watching!
My washer not putting water new to me
Is the oxi just oxygen?
It's not a true sanitize cycle like LG and Samsung products have with steam. All you're doing is just adding Oxi directly into the tub and telling the machine there's oxi in there.
Does anyone know how to set up the Wi-Fi set up
You know, unfortunately I dont have that feature on my Washer. But, in the past with my Samsung I would have downloaded the app that Samsung recommends from their Owners Manual. And then from there I could diagnose my issues by simply scanning the code on the display. Take a look into your owners manual, see if there's a specific app they recommend.
How do I rinse it for more time without it adding more water
Where it says, warm rinse, extra rinse, deep rinse. It won't add more water it'll just recirculate the same water.
How can i get more water in machine never enough.
Try running Bulky with Deep Fill.
if u had to do over again would you get this machine?
Yeah, I like this machine. It's almost been a year (black friday) and no complaints. It's quiet, tons of washing options, direct drive, large tub, button based (not thermal). If I could do it all over again, i'd consider front loade Samsungs if you have the room ( i didnt) or maybe the maytag with the 4.8 cuft top load washer with agitator and Direct drive. Those would be my 2 options.
Nope!
Not a chance!
Please tell me how to fix this washer
What are you experiencing?
My sound doesn't make a noise to let me know they are done
Hit the SOUND button top right.
Does delay option runs the washer automatically after selected hour/time?
Yeah, you're pretty much running a self timer for 1-24 hours.
The softener doesn’t drain in mine.... what could that be
Select deep rinse to dispense the softener.
@@borregoimages8117 i have the same problem even after hitting deep rinse :/
Same here! Deep rinse no longer dispenses the softener.
Could you show me how to reset the machine?
This unit doesn't have a reset, just unplug it and plug it back in.
Not even a minute in and I had to close it. Subscribe? No thanks!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
How can I cancel a load
A couple of different ways, you can can switch it to drain and spin or rotate the dial during the fill stage and select what you want.
I have tried everything to get a deep fill, holding down the button and it only fills a little bit, my clothes don't even get wet and I can only put in 4 items of clothes in it. So far worst machine I've ever had.
I've had similar issues with mine. This machine is very unpredictable when it comes to filling up to the right water level. Also the washer won't let you change any of the settings once it runs a few minutes into the wash cycle. So if you need to add more water to the rinse, you have to pour it in with a bucket. It's supposed to be a set-it-and-forget-it washer but I wouldn't dare leave it alone to operate. It is easily the worst appliance I have ever bought.
You don't hold deep fill down you press it after every addition of water. So press it let it fill. Then press it again. Then press it again until it looks like the desired amount of water.
Just had the GE installed. Read directions.....It spitzed some water in then again. Then it started to spin then stopped.....and sat humming...I cannot get it to work. @ hours of my time wasted on this. Can you show run the GE for me? Maybe I missed something. I am about to call them to remove this washer and dryer and refund my money.
Do you have the auto soak feature on? It will sit and agitate after some time if you do...
@@borregoimages8117 Thank you for your response. Finally figured it out. On the newer machines, after you place your clothes in the washer...and hit start...it spritzes a small stream of water...then it does it again - It then starts to spins the clothes then stops. After about 30 seconds or so, it then starts the full cycle. (It will do this with every load) Apparently, when it does all that it is computing the amount of water needed for washing the load placed in it. What I really dislike is there is no cancel. If you make a mistake....like forgetting to press DEEP FILL, - to cancel, you have to change the setting to drain and spin....wait til all that is done and then start over. Buyers Remorse - kinda wish I had bought the simple AMANA model without all the bells and whistles.
I use deep fill which only fills the drum to 2/3 of the capacity....I have no way of knowing if this is all it ever does or if it is not operating at full capacity...ever. For such a large drum....2/3 full seems rather low.
I bought this same washer about 2 weeks ago because of the capacity ,HOWEVER that " DEEP FILLING " is driving me crazy , I can't figure out how to use it.
Figure it out 🤣
Did u figure this out, I'm having the same problem
@@danascynthia2360 I did, kind of. You must be aware that not all washing settings have the Deep Fill option. For example, the quick wash does not give you the option however, the color cloths will deep fill. Another thing, the deep fill does not even full half of washer so you would have to press the Deep Fill several times. Every time you push that bottom, the deep fill is only 3 gallon per push.
Thanks, my deep fill comes on ONLY with bulky option only.... I'm totally confused
@@danascynthia2360 This video helped me understand better the Deep Fill option. . . . ua-cam.com/video/iRrUwQwqzA4/v-deo.html
How can i reset
It could be as small as rewiring the washer with a new 110 cord.
i can not get the softner to be used ever
Make sure you have the deep rinse selected. Otherwise the FS will just sit there.
@@borregoimages8117 ok ill try that now my sister got the exact same issue ill try it now thanks
I'm having same problem even with deep fill on
Español
Not a video on how to start it lol. Takes forever for washer to start up
Yeah it does the sensing thing first. But whatever, its just trying to sort and balance the tub.

What deep fill can do? Is It help to clean clothes better?
If you press the deep fill before the cycle starts, it increases the water by 3 gallons above the water level the machine decided on. If you press the deep fill button again while the washer is in the middle of the wash cycle, it will add another 3 gallons of water to the wash. If you press and hold the deep fill button for 3 seconds before the cycle starts (this will also work when the machine is in the middle of the wash cycle) it will add 26 gallons of water in there, which is at the top row of holes of the tub, but that is as high the water level will go. Deep fill is available for all cycles except colors (normal), and sanitize with oxi.
My lavadora no trabaja
Y es exactly like this
Mu washer doesnt work
Why doesn my detergent ghetto of in the clothes
Using too much detergent and not enough rinse cycles (wrong cycle)
where does the bleach go
Bottom left corner where it says for bleach liquid only.
@@borregoimages8117 mine doesn't have any words but there is a gray piece with a hole in it on the left corner, also one on the right corner too though.
Gotcha, its the bottom left one.
@@borregoimages8117 Thank you so much!
All that and you don’t get into the wifi ugh
This unit doesn't have wifi connectivity, ugh.
Hoy la recibi y la odio no puedo cambiar los minutos de lavado, es absurdo lavar ropa por tanto tiempo, con solo 30 minutos es suficiente y no puedo cambiarlo!
🤦🤦
La voy a vender odio esta maquina de lavar, debut y despedida!
Es posible, solo necesita ajustar la configuración de temperatura del agua, el centrifugado, si desea agregar un enjuague adicional cuando usa suavizante. Si va a lavado rápido, use llenado profundo, configure la suciedad en Normal y centrifugue al máximo sin remojo automático, enjuague profundo o enjuague adicional durante 31 minutos. Baja el centrifugado a normal y son 25 minutos.
If the machine says sanitize with oxy the machine does not have a heating element. This is A ge scam
Please explain
Explanation please.
Spin cycle is horrible . The rebalancing is ridiculous . Wastes water and time and comes out soaking wet half the time .
Very bad washing machine it will close your clothes it will not open if it have problem it very bad i change it two time and i come back to old washing machine with agitator which is the best of GE
I happen to think that it's a VERY good machine. I've had it now 2 years no problems and clean clothes.
Ge machine makes to much noise and they don’t put in enough water
They actually are pretty quite to be honest. We owned Samsung prior to this and they're different units but the GE is not "noisy" its still a direct drive motor not belt driven with 850rpms on the spin cycle. If you balance the load it should function smoothly.
@Frank and Radhika Review I balance the load. The washing machine is no good
The Colors cycle (normal) is so stupid! Trying to wash a huge load of laundry with only an inch or 2 of water! It wrecked my king size comforter and a few pieces of clothing!
@@LoveMissStephee Exactly. That’s what I said to Frank and Radhika. This wash machine is garbage and it is a shame for something like this to be built in America.
Junk, worst invvestment I ever made.
Sorry to hear. We love ours.
You're not alone. This thing is a big disappointment.
@@r.p.9198 you wanna know a bigger disappointment, this machine can't even do spins between the rinses! Spins between the rinses are very important because these spins help get more of the detergent out of the clothes before the rinse, thus equaling a better rinsing performance.
LG is awful I’ll never buy one, kenmore elite I had was actually a LG and the motherboard burned out in a year now I’m upgrading to this I hope.
In november we'll have had this unit for a year. We havent had any issues with it thus far.
