Care and cleaning
Pump Filter
Due to the nature of a front-load unit, it is sometimes possible for small articles to pass to the pump.
The Combo has a filter to capture lost items and items that could cause clogs so they are not
dumped into the drain. To retrieve lost items and to remove potentially trapped debris, clean out the
pump filter.
1. Using a small flathead screwdriver or coin, open the access door.
2. Place a shallow pan or dish under the pump access door and towels on the
floor in front of the Combo to protect the floor. It is normal to catch about a cup
of water when the filter is removed.
3. Pull down the pour spout.
4. Turn the pump filter counterclockwise and remove the filter slowly, controlling
the flow of the draining water.
5. Remove the filter and clean the debris from the filter.
6. Replace the filter and turn clockwise. Tighten securely.
7. Flip up the pour spout.
8. Close the access door by hooking the bottom tabs first, then rotating the
access door shut.
Door Gasket
Open the Combo door. Using both
hands, press down the door gasket.
While holding down the door gasket,
inspect the interior fold. Remove any
foreign objects if found trapped inside
this gasket.
Water Supply Hoses
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses immediately
if any sign of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk of hose failures
and possible water damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. DO NOT
overtighten or cross thread fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects, become kinked, or become
over stretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.
Moving
Ask the service technician to remove water from drain pump and hoses. When moving the Combo, the tub should be
kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation. See Installation Instructions in this manual. If
these parts are not available, they can be ordered by visiting our Website at GEApplianceparts.com or by calling
GE Appliances at 877.959.8688. In Canada, visit your local GE Appliances parts distributor or call 800.661.1616 or
GEAppliances.ca/en/products/parts-filters-accessories.
Winterizing and Storage
If you expect to not use your Combo for an extended period of time, make sure water supply is shut off at faucets.
Drain water from the inlet hoses and drain the pump filter especially if weather will be below freezing. For additional
steps, visit https://sl.geappl.io/*Combo_Winterize.

Make sure there is nothing blocking the
holes behind the gasket.
When you are finished cleaning the door
gasket, release it and the gasket will
return to the operating position.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you run the Self
Clean per those instructions to ensure that the gasket is
cleaned as part of that maintenance step.
