GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - UltraFresh Ventless System with OdorBlock™

Our GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer offers the UltraFresh Ventless System with OdorBlock™. This system is designed to assist in removing residual water left on the surfaces of the door, gasket, and other internal areas of the Combo's basket after a Wash only cycle, as well as prevent odors from developing. Combo models manufactured after October 2023 will already have this UltraFresh feature included in their software, so no update is needed. As of November 2023, this feature is available to all Combo models manufactured prior to November 2023 through a software update. To receive this update on these models, your Combo must be connected to the SmartHQ app. To update your connected Combo, you will need to open your SmartHQ app and select the Combo appliance. A notification will then appear, indicating “New software is available”, and you must select "APPLY" for the installation process to start.
 

UltraFresh Ventless System Versus UltraFresh Vent System

While the UltraFresh Vent System is found on many of our GE Appliances Front Load Washers, the UltraFresh Ventless System is unique to our UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer. While both systems offer the DRAIN and DEFEND feature elements, the DRY is done with the heat pump sealed-system found on the Combo instead of venting the drum.
 

How the Combo's UltraFresh Ventless System Works

After a Wash Only cycle is completed and the door is closed after removing the clothes, the Combo LCD screen will prompt you to "CONFIRM" or "DISMISS" the UltraFresh feature.
 
  • Selecting "CONFIRM" will automatically start this feature, which is a 30-minute timed dry cycle.
  • Selecting "DISMISS" will prevent the Combo from going into an UltraFresh cycle.
You can choose to turn off this prompt for future Wash only cycles within the Menu feature (found on the control panel) under the "UltraFresh” menu option.
 
  • When a Wash+Dry cycle is selected, this feature is OFF and cannot be toggled ON.
  • When a Wash Only cycle is selected, this feature defaults ON and can be toggled OFF.
