I bought this 5 years ago and it's worked great.. my father inlaw bought a may tag and has fixed it about 3 times since and bought it 2 years after mine.
Just thank you for posting. It seems like so many companies want to Upload their own commercial and I want to see different ideas of appliances and other peoples thoughts of what they like and dont like, instead of listening to them praise themselves.
Gripes and Tips... I know people who love their top loaders with impeller, this one and other brands. I didn't love this washer. Washes seem rough or wimpy. Rinses wimpy - hardly moves the items. After a bleach wash, using dispenser, bleach spots on next wash. Doesn't spin between wash and rinse, only drains. No happy medium with soap - either soap residue after done (when swished in clean water) or not evenly clean. Tried everything for 2 months to like it. Tech came to check it out. Operates "as designed." He's not a fan of impellers. Said, especially if you have dirtier clothes, front loaders work best, then top loaders with agitators - Speed Queen, if you can find one with all the availability issues going on. Their warranty is 25 years. This GE is going back, unfortunately with a hefty restock fee. We had a great LG front loader for years before this but don't have space for today's bigger front loaders (small ones are too small), so got an LG top loader with agitator and inverter direct drive (happy electrician husband). Love it so far! 2nd choice would have been Maytag but didn't have direct drive. General Tips: I've seen reviews in other places about machines misbehaving. I never leave home or go to bed with an appliance running! Learned that lesson when our dryer ran all night because the heater died and the sensor still sensed wet towels. You want to be around in case of leaks and such! Also, do the once a month minimum washer cleaning. If you get a front loader, dry the gasket (carefully so it doesn't tear) after your washes for the day are done, and leave the door open. Leave top loader lids open to dry. Wipe out the drum with a towel. Pull the drawer out over a wide container, shake it out, and sweep the water out from where it goes - this GE holds a lot of water under the drawer. Clean any build up off the drawer. Lastly, read the manual! I guess that's it - enough, right?
I got this model, had it for 4 months and it’s going on it’s 3rd service call! Contacted GE customer service the representative told me if it’s unrepairable they will send me a new unit. Buy they way that will be the third one. The first didn’t work, the one I currently have is junk! I’ve decided if they deem it unrepairable I want my money back, I’ll go out and buy an LG! Hope yours continues to work properly for you!
Hello thanks for a great review, I wanted to mention that the delay wash allows you to delay your wash. When setting it, you choose how many hours you would like delay the start of your wash. Then by continuously pressing Delay Wash by the amount of hours, you want your wash delayed. Then choose start. It’s a great feature if you want to wake up to a finished freshly washed load…or come home to one at a certain time.
We bought this exact washing machine...DONT BUY THIS!!!. It does not do a great job washing clothe. You can’t wash large loads and expect to have them clean. The inside cylinder bangs hard against the sides and it’s very loud. No matter how you try to layer the clothe in to avoid this, it still happens. We bought the matching dryer. It works good, although I had to replace the board within the first year. That was $187.00. Then you have to program the board. If you want to buy the agitator, it’s a separate purchase. Hope the helps someone looking to buy this model.
@@timothykaminski1632 thanks for responding, I am going to buy another washer. I traded in my front loader because it didn't give me the option to add more water. I know, I know, did you not research before buying. Answer: Yes, I had but have always wanted one, traded in for this. My thinking was, well it has the deep till option but still does the same as a front loader. I was wrong. The dryer is good but my clothes don't seem to be as clean.
I just moved renting in a place that has this abs is a pain to wash. If I need a certain water level, I have go up and down the steps to cancel add water to have it rinse 😭😭😭😭omg. I wish the landlord would change this washer.
I’ve had this about 18 months. Hate it. I can’t fill it properly because the thing vibrates so badly it basically walks across my floor! The clothes hardly move so they’re never clean. I have to wash them 3-4 times. No thanks. Finally got fed up and it’s on the back patio and I just had my LG 8100 front loaders put in. At least I know gravity will move the laundry around enough that it’s getting clean.
Got the same one, but it doesn’t clean as well as our old Agitator washing machine. Dark clothes & most items come out with detergent streaks and lint. Dog hair doesn’t drain out properly and some clothes come out dirtier, even if the hair wasn’t originally on them. And finally, the old machine got blood stains clean, but this new one I ended up having to hand wash scrub several items after a round in the machine, because blood was still on it. (Pre-treated Period, which most women will have to wash.) In which case, what is the point of a washing machine?
This is the most accurate description I can find of this machine.....are we overloading it? too much soap? like what is the deal I have the same problems....
@@chelseabeebe7958 I have tried every different way possible. It doesn't matter if it's 1 item or "full" it's the same outcome. It doesn't matter which detergent you buy, soak time, pretreatment, water temperature...... this wash just sucks period. I chose this set because I have 4 small children. We get the belly flu & nose bleeds throughout the year & the laundry mat just seems wrong for bodily fluids🤢 (Sorry) I thought this washer would be perfect for comforters, coats, hunting gear, large capacity items. This doesn't clean dirt of of jeans let alone anything else. Sure is pretty though 😟
The one in my rental is this model and it works well less the lid lock just randomly stopping working. Nothing is broken so it's just an odd thing that just happened. Thank goodness it's under warranty.
I wish I would have seen this video before I bought my GE. I would have looked for something else. At the very least I would have kept my old washer longer.
@@100kelley i agree mine just stopped spinning im waiting on GE to look at it but i had a washer from 1996-2020 worked fine for 24 years they don’t make them like they used too.
I have this washer and I do have to wash everything on the towels sheets so I can use the deep fill option. I do spin everything on Max and mine is very quiet and doesn't vibrate at all.
We have this same set and I HATE IT. after a couple of years the buttons stopped working. Can no longer select the deep fill and deep rinse. Same thing on the dryer , now I can only use Timed Dry. Getting rid of it ( Curb Alert) and going back to the old school used Kenmore Washer and Dryer.
I have this washer I am happy with it. I am only 5ft tall, so I gotta stand on my tippy toes to reach the bottom. I had an issue with hard water, since I got my new softener and filtration system, all is well. I only need a soda cap full of detergent for a large load of towels. I did have an issue with it being off balance, but my dad came and fixed it for me. My washer and dryer are on my main floor in the mudroom and I'm happy that this one is extremely quiet. I was shocked that the one in the video was so loud spinning, you can't hear mine. Every home is different though. I'd buy this one again.
The best way to run this machine, is to make sure you have just enough water to create the hydraulic pressure to rotate the load from the sides, to the center. You can run into balancing issues once in a while, so you may have to redistribute your load just before the spin. The lid doesn't lock during the wash cycle, and you can easily unlock it during the drain cycle, so you can intervene if you have to. For an impeller machine, this is a pretty good one compared to Whirlpool, Samsung, and LG's offerings. It didn't take long to learn how to use mine, but I wouldn't consider it a "beginner's washing machine". A front loader would probably be a better option for someone just starting out.
I have this exact washer , a full year now , and I just learned how to use every button today, thank you lol. I'm definitely not a beginner either . its just a difficult one.
I have both the washer and dryer...has anyone else had issues with it spinning so hard that it wrinkles the clothes and they don't come out, even after putting it in the dryer?? I also find that detergent streaks and gunk left on clothes and have to wash it again. I don't love it unless I can work out the kinks...
We bought ours in 2016 and it sounds like an airplane is in our laundry room. It is the loudest washing machine we have ever owned. Now it doesn't wash.... just spins.
Hi I just got the same machine I can’t get the detergent thing to slide out I just found out that’s where it goes 🤦🏽♀️I leave it on bulky items it works better . Thanks so much 1 week in and I’m just realizing the detergent slots 😂
Thank you!...You really helped me out to figure my washing machine much better. And yeah, I use a step to get my clothes out into the dryer. I'm 5'1 kinda short ... Thanks, again.
We bought one in Nov 2016. In 2019 the drain pump needed repair. It's rusting pretty good above the basket under the lid, and the control board is failing. Clothes washing is OK, and there are some settings to get more water in there.
I have one, and actually like it. It does a great job, and I want to plug it in again since I now have a higher pressure on my hot water spigot. I am currently using my antique Whirlpool, but it doesn't work as well with the cheap $h!t detergents they have these days, and it's starting to really show its age. I'm glad I ran across this video!
I own the exactly your machine but my washer machine has softer pod n liquid and I use bulky for deep water.. I love my machine.. yes the machine get crazy when the clothes is not correctly
I've had a similar model for 2 months. Everything seems to function fine mechanically, but I'm having so much trouble trying to figure out how much detergent to use so items are evenly cleaned and rinsed well. I use Tide (as GE recommends) Free & Gentle HE. The bottle guidelines seem too high, leaving detergent behind even after an extra rinse (which I always use). If I use much less, it needs a higher soil level selected, and even then it isn't always clean, meaning mainly underarm odor-free. I haven't found a happy medium. Also, the washes seem so rough and generate lots of lint in the dryer, even with the higher water selections. My older towels are all suddenly coming out with tattered edges, so I'm concerned about my clothes getting worn out too soon. Also, I wash some whites with bleach and, as usual, an extra rinse. Another wash right after one bleach wash came out with bleach spots! Also, bulky and waterproof items have to be pushed down because they keep floating up above the water level. I'm about ready to give up and return it. I had an LG front loader before this which eventually had problems we didn't want to keep fixing. My only complaint was the gasket drainage was designed poorly, so it turned black and needed bleaching, and waterproof items held water after spinning. Any advice is appreciated!
People use too much. If you follow the instructions on the bottle you're using too much. They want to sell, sell, sell. Just us a small about. It is not the amount that cleans as much as it is the condition of you water hard or soft.
@@taram7408 we returned the machine and got an LG direct drive with agitator. Everything about the GE was a nightmare. When we went in to look for another washer, a different sales person told us the impellers don't clean very well unless you have lightly soiled items. The LG is so much better!
Just got mines delivered yesterday❤.its HUGE inside lol. My romper brand washe died out lol and my home warranty company gave me a lowes gift card towards a new one. I LOVEEEE the glass lid,i like looking inside while it washes😂 The 1 thing i read negative about this that just happened to me is the damn knob came off😅
I have this washer and like it very much especially the deep fill option, also if I use the bulky setting most of the time it fills to an acceptable water level. My machine is 3 years old… I’m wondering if you would know of a funny grinding sound when agitating, sounds almost like plastic marbles during the agitating !!!! It’s a new sound and I’m trying to figure it out!!🤣 Thanks you for any comment that may help me. I hope it’s not a big problem!!!
I'm pretty sure I've heard the noise you're describing before as well. It seems to happen more often on specific Cycles. When the basket is really whipping around.
I have that same washing machine from GE, from day one in using it there was this dust that appears on our clothes every other cycle. Then i noticed inside the machine towards the top theres this grey lint all around in which we always have to clean about 3 times a week which is annoying, we have no pets and use high efficiency detergent. Im wondering if im the only one this happens to. I was trying to find the lint filter to see if i can clean it better, but no luck.
I've checked a few reviews, hoping to see someone actually run a load. I want to see how long the "sensing" cycle is supposed to take. We just bought a machine and tried to use it today. It squirts water in for about 1 second, then stops, goes to "sensing" as it spins, squirts in more water for 1-2 seconds, returns to sensing, and then stays there for several minutes before just stopping.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews So, as a follow up... It's been 6 months since we bought the washer, which is very similar to this one. I have to say I kind of hate it. Clothes keep coming out with white streaks that I initially thought were detergent residue (even though we are using HE detergent) but it almost looks like wet lint or fluff. I have no idea where it comes from but we can't get rid of it. Today was worse. We had some sheets that came out looking like they had mud or wet sand. Again, I have no idea where it comes from, but we are continually washing and re-washing stuff. It's only a few months old but I can't wait to get rid of it.
Mine has gotten louder and louder. I even changed the suspension rods on it to no avail. Might try the bearing next because they supposedly get loose over time
Do yourself a favor and pop the agitator wash plate off and take a look at the bottom of the basket and see if the bad bearing noise is actually a rusted out basket bottom preventing it from turning properly.
hello i got the same washer last tuesday and im having issues with the fabric softener capartment. For some reason when the washer machines fills up to start the wash it also realeses the fabric softener as well. Any way of fixing that? I had called the store they said it was defected :/
Thanks for the video. I have this exact machine. I have HATED it from the first month. H.E. sucks!!! Adding water is a joke, unless you live in an area that conserves water.
I just want to know how does it get the clothes clean without an agitator. Cause my sister has one like this & I look in the glass while it was washing... & it looked like it was barely doing anything inside SN: I wash everything on scalding hot water lol, except blue jeans.
The clothes rubbing together is what gets them clean as opposed to with an agitator which is what they would normally rub against. Depending on the cycle you choose it does different variants of clothes agitation.
I have this exact Washer and Honestly I am frustrated. I have two boys that play hard. This Washer doesn't seem to do anything but just swish their clothes around. I don't see the agitator doing much. I like to see rigorous washing and this isn't doing it for me. I've heard of resetting by unplugging and waiting2 mins...etc. I will try that but I will be calling the Warranty soon for something to be done.
This machine just doesn't clean the cloths. Mine seams to run fine, is balanced, quite and the spin works well but my cloths are never clean. Even in hot water, extra fill, Tide pods....can pull out my husband's sock after a full wash and it's still stiff with ick and sweat. How can that be????
I have this type with an agitator. It stops when it is time to agitate. If you put it on drain and sping, it goes through it, no problem. The bearing is comporised I can tell by its sound. The agitator was wobbly and I didn't like it. So I wanted to remove it but had a hard time. I ended up cutting it because it did not cooporate by locking it through the hole and turning clockwise. I then unbolted the bottom skirt and check it. It fits more or less good enough on the transmission shaft. Bolted it back on and then I placed the cap that goes on the agitator and it fit perfect. I turned the machine on. This time the agitator kicked in for a good 10 minutes and then it quit. Would a bad bearing effect agitation much more than spin on these machines? The error code was pointing to mode shifter, although I doubted it. But I replaced it nonetheless.
I’ve had tons of issues with the lid lock switch on mine. Aarons has warrantied 2 whole washers for me. The drum stopped spinning after a week. Then it wouldn’t balance even with nothing in it. And then the lid lock kept failing. And for the price it’s terrible. The matching dryer is amazing tho
I was hoping to find out if you can hear water sloshing when you move the tub around when it's empty. Some GE washers have a "balance ring" partially filled with salt water attached to the outside of the inner basket to help with unbalanced loads. I'm just not sure if the sound of the water in the ring should be heard, or what it should normally sound like because to me it sounds like standing water beneath the tub, and water does collect there, so could it be too much water collecting? Argh! ;) Tanks for the video!
I have this washer and really don't like it. The dryer is fine. The washer doesn't get items very clean. They don't even smell clean even with proper amounts of detergent and fabric softener. Black clothes sometimes need to be washed 2 x so get white residue out. Maybe I just need to play around with different cycles.
I found this very helpful. Thank you. Would you please tell me how to set for a cold wash and rinse. Also, what is the difference between choosing cold tap and cold on the temp guide. We are on well water and at times our hot spurts out brown ugly water.
i have this washer and it bangs and shakes like in the video - OFF BALANCE. i've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why its so loud and bangs so loosely like that. Is there a repair DIY video somewhere??
I would think it should still be under manufacturer warranty if purchased recently. I spoke with a GE rep today. She said for better cleaning, rinsing and less wear on items, to load things in imaginary quarters, folding them in zig zag fashion to fit their quarter. Stack each quarter rather than staggering the layers, and of course try to make the weight even all around for balance. Otherwise, they may get twisted up, inhibiting the cleaning, rinsing and balance. Also, check to make sure your machine is level side to side, front to back as that can affect balancing.
Love that vibrating Banana Boat sunscreen performance. But be careful about too much info. re: the depth and 'falling-in' into the drum.... hundreds of men have just gone out and purchased this washer; Thousands if mother-in-law lives in home/does the laundry.
Husbies and wives go to prison every week for nudging soulmates over waterfalls or rolling em up in rugs and scrubbing w/ bleach... Whoever thought simple laundry w/ the GE machine cld be the perfect free-ride crime (add a little bleach jst in case)?
@@shondabrown7176 Yes, it was an issue with the spinning mechanism, retail store where we bought the washer had a repair guy come fix it, they had to order the part so it took longer than we wanted to, but they fixed, they recommended always following the cycles, they lasso said damage might have been caused by overloading the machine, idk 🤷 good luck
we have this washer, had it for about two years.. and we are having problems to where it wont start on your load! Fighting with a machine to start your clothes is a battle man😭😭 safe to say not buying this washer again
Do you have any comments on this washer 5 years down the road since you uploaded this video? I bought mine years ago but just hooked it up after my old washer finally died. I love it! But am shocked to see all the horrible reviews. Do you still have it? Is it still working fine?
I am supprised with all the horrible reviews as well. I don't know how well this washer has held up as I moved shortly after filming it. However, I did get the exact same one for my new place and 4 years in still running great and I would get it again for sure.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I just found your channel because I was searching to see if they still made it, because I too would totally buy it again if and when my current one ever fails.😀
Thank you for you review I appreciate the demonstration with sound because a washer can get unhinged the basket part. Also I have a great appreciation for the live demonstration on the control panel. Please continue to upload videos on appliances.
www.repairclinic.com/ has step by step videos for fixing things. If you put iin the washer modle here it will have videos showing how to take it apart.
I just got a similar model with knobs instead of the digital panel. I was wondering how long the spin cycle is supposed to last. I’ve done a few loads and it seems like it spins at high speed without ever wanting to end or slow down. I stop it manually when it gets around the 5-6 minute mark of high speed spinning (there’s never any remaining water). What is the normal length of time for the high speed spinning? I don’t know what normal is yet for these new washers. Thank you!
Excellent review; thank you! I have a silly question -- there is no 'trap'/filter to clean on this model, is there? I've had one of these for 11 months, and it struck my wife the other day that we have not cleaned any filters on it. Many thanks!
Yes, we were feeling like we needed to clean the trap filter but, there is not one. Do you have issues with residue around the inside of the drum? I have to use basket clean cycle once a week but, that does not take care of the residue. I only use a teaspoon of detergent and softener to avoid this type of build up but, does not make a difference. Also, the drawer is hard to clean and the drawer tray. I can no longer get it white. Do any of you have these issues and if so, what is your solution? Thank you.
Ours is the agitater type I don't know if it's me not being used to it but it seems like it only spins about a half a turn and then back a quarter turn then forward a half turn them back an 8th turn forward a half turn then back in 8th turn and seems a little grindy have no idea of this is how they're supposed to work I've never had a direct drive before as well
I have this machine and it's a piece of junk. I've watched the machine work for start to finish and some articles of clothing never even got wet. Going to return ASAP
I'm with you! I've had mine for several years now. It "works" but my clothes are NOT clean. I've tried more water, all different cycles, cleaned the detergent tray. Nothing helps. I can put on heavy soil, deep fill, with Tide detergent pods and pull out my top when done and it still has deodorant on the arm pits as though it never was washed! I have put a cotton T-shirt in there folded just to see and the thing will stay folded for the whole cycle and the spin. Totally sucks. I have another property that has a front load washer that I use the same detergent with and when I do my own laundry there it comes out clean.
I'm a pretty decent "Fix-It-Guy", but this thing is a PERPETUALLY "PROBLEM CHILD".. Always a different issue, and no sooner do I get it "fixed" than another problem arises. Running out of PATIENCE with this, and it appears that the Circuit Board is another area of perpetual problems and issues. You can replace the CB for an outrageous price, but then it seems to me that you're just replacing your old piece of junk for a new piece of junk! My late Mom gave us the money to buy this shortly before she died. I am "psychological conflicted" as I don't want to feel as if I'm "disrespecting" my Mom, but my "head" is very tempted to send this over-priced, and under-performing piece of garbage to the junk heap where (imo) it belongs! Btw, I was "attracted" by the "10 Year Warranty" - - READ IT CAREFULLY!! - - This POC (imo) has essentially a ONE YEAR WARRANTY, with the ONLY thing having a 10 year warranty being the electric motor, and that is EXCLUSIVE of the labor to install it, so you're "ONE (year) and DONE" when it comes to coverage on this thing! NOTHING but one problem after another, after another, after another!! (I "went against my gut" in purchasing a GE product, having had so MANY poor experiences with their (lack of quality) in the past, but I let my emotions ("TEN YEAR WARRANTY!!") and my failure to perform "Due Diligence" re the absurdity and virtual uselessness of their "warranty" sway me into buying this thing. Even if you're a good "Fix-It Guy/Gal", you CAN'T "fix" a poor quality/poorly designed PCB! - Just my opinion and experiences fwiw...!!!!)
I don’t have many good things to say about this washer. For starters it is a year old and is already messed up. My biggest issue is that the washer doesn’t wring out our clothes and constantly says it has balancing issues. When this happens it refills with water “wasting water” up to 3 fills, and then the clothes are soaked when the cycle ends. Also I can’t use the full capacity of this machine because it is so finicky. I can only load maybe a 4th of the way full.. smh I have to literally lay each piece of clothing out strategically, not covering the center and make sure heavy items are on bottom and balanced like a centrifuge. It takes like 5 minutes to load clothes in this manner and even still I get balancing issues and clothes soaked and washer not spinning them out. It’s maddening. The perk to having a smart “fancy” washer is to make your life easier right? Nope this one has gave me nothing but a headache. My recommendation to anyone looking to buy this, ***DON’T*** get another brand this one is trash. Also that 10 year warranty only covers the motor, not issues like mine so on top of paying for a new washer soon after purchase you will have to pay out of pocket for pricy repairs.
This problem is NOT just a GE problem. All of the manufacturers that use this free floating tub design have this problem. Older machines using a solid suspension and tub brake did NOT have this issue! This issue is courtesy of enviro hippies in government who can't stop meddling in peoples lives with useless and unnecessary regulations! Governments have NO BUSINESS dictating how we wash clothes!
Hi , so I got this washer yesterday. Mine has an agitator. I’ve noticed my washer does not fill and everything comes out dirty still or not wet all the way. How do I get the washer to spray in and stay in until it rinses ?
Lid lock or control lock? If it is control lock you can press and hold the Warm rinse and Auto soak buttons down together for 5 seconds it will then let you use the buttons to control the washer.
My washer is Giving me problem... its whole operating system is blinking at eaxh setting and its power button and start button keep on blinking but didnt start to do washing.. plzzzz help Me... And stains is not wrking
I have never seen a white laundry detergent on my clothes while washing. I can only see clothes soaked in water and moving around. They don’t come out clean even? Am I doing something wrong wrong? Tried different detergents. Any setting issues?
I have had it happen a few times to me before. Generally when I use too much detergent. Seems to happen when clothing don't move around enough so the detergent does not rise out.
We have one of these washers and its leaking at bottom, does anyone know how to remove the front cover and back cover so i can inspect and repair as needed?
When I do my washing often always ends with white spots like dust on my clothes and it's a big problem for me, did this ever happen to you and can you tell me why....I don't't like this washer.
That sounds like detergent that got left on the clothing. I had this issue with sheets when I first got this washer. I found that it was primarily due to me using too much detergent. So you might just need to cut back and you should see that spotting stop.
Might have too much clothing in there as well. This washer cleans by having the clothes rub against each other. If they get tangled up soap will not be able to rise out.
It sounds like the control lock was turned on. To turn it off simply hold down the warm rinse and auto soak button together for about 3 seconds. It should then unlock the control panel.
Have it. Hate it. The buttons works intermittently, goes crazily off balance, some things don't even get wet, clothes don't always come out clean, the bleach dispenser is corroding, the softener dispenser doesn't always dispense.
I have this one. I came here to get tips on how to repair it. This along with the dryer absolutely suck!!! First the machine would make the loud noises when off balanced and then would stop working. Replacing the stabilizers. Now the unit is displaying a code for the HSO supply even though it has plenty of water going in. The dryer has a faulty door switch and continues to shut itself off not drying the clothes. Worse machines I ever bought. Don’t even get me started on the GE dishwasher. I will never buy GE again
Everyone has told me that every washing machine has a lint trap. I have the same exact washing machine but my clothes come out covered in lint. I don't know what else to do to help the situation... it's driving me insane. Does this machine have a lint trap???!!!!!
I have one as well the noise during the spin cycle is like a freight train really. The other morning the wash machine started on its own no delay cycle it just started it sounded like the pump motor was on. I pushed the start and power button at the same time it did stop after 2 mins not sure if I stopped it by my actions. I was ready to shut off the breaker . Any thoughts
Has anyone figured out the balancing issue? Our washer came with the house. We did one load and all of our clothes were soaked. Won't spin. Keeps saying balancing. Tried another load and same thing. We did a bunch of trouble shooting, but I saw somewhere something about a balance ring? But, now I can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Gripes and Tips... I know people who love their top loaders with impeller, this one and other brands. I didn't love this washer. Washes seem rough or wimpy. Rinses wimpy - hardly moves the items. After a bleach wash, using dispenser, bleach spots on next wash. Doesn't spin between wash and rinse, only drains. No happy medium with soap - either soap residue after done (when swished in clean water) or not evenly clean. Tried everything for 2 months to like it. Tech came to check it out.

Said, especially if you have dirtier clothes, front loaders work best, then top loaders with agitators - Speed Queen, if you can find one with all the availability issues going on. Their warranty is 25 years. This GE is going back, unfortunately with a hefty restock fee. We had a great LG front loader for years before this but don't have space for today's bigger front loaders (small ones are too small), so got an LG top loader with agitator and inverter direct drive (happy electrician husband). Love it so far! 2nd choice would have been Maytag but didn't have direct drive.

Learned that lesson when our dryer ran all night because the heater died and the sensor still sensed wet towels. You want to be around in case of leaks and such! Also, do the once a month minimum washer cleaning. If you get a front loader, dry the gasket (carefully so it doesn't tear) after your washes for the day are done, and leave the door open. Leave top loader lids open to dry. Wipe out the drum with a towel. Pull the drawer out over a wide container, shake it out, and sweep the water out from where it goes - this GE holds a lot of water under the drawer. Clean any build up off the drawer. Lastly, read the manual! I guess that's it - enough, right?
I got this model, had it for 4 months and it’s going on it’s 3rd service call! Contacted GE customer service the representative told me if it’s unrepairable they will send me a new unit. Buy they way that will be the third one. The first didn’t work, the one I currently have is junk! I’ve decided if they deem it unrepairable I want my money back, I’ll go out and buy an LG! Hope yours continues to work properly for you!
Hello thanks for a great review, I wanted to mention that the delay wash allows you to delay your wash. When setting it, you choose how many hours you would like delay the start of your wash. Then by continuously pressing Delay Wash by the amount of hours, you want your wash delayed. Then choose start. It’s a great feature if you want to wake up to a finished freshly washed load…or come home to one at a certain time.
We bought this exact washing machine...DONT BUY THIS!!!. It does not do a great job washing clothe. You can’t wash large loads and expect to have them clean. The inside cylinder bangs hard against the sides and it’s very loud. No matter how you try to layer the clothe in to avoid this, it still happens. We bought the matching dryer. It works good, although I had to replace the board within the first year. That was $187.00. Then you have to program the board. If you want to buy the agitator, it’s a separate purchase. Hope the helps someone looking to buy this model.
@ Timothy Kaminski, when you say agitator, do you mean that you can convert this??
@@nae1470 I have been told there is. However I have not been able to find one.
@@timothykaminski1632 thanks for responding, I am going to buy another washer. I traded in my front loader because it didn't give me the option to add more water. I know, I know, did you not research before buying. Answer: Yes, I had but have always wanted one, traded in for this. My thinking was, well it has the deep till option but still does the same as a front loader. I was wrong. The dryer is good but my clothes don't seem to be as clean.
I just moved renting in a place that has this abs is a pain to wash. If I need a certain water level, I have go up and down the steps to cancel add water to have it rinse 😭😭😭😭omg. I wish the landlord would change this washer.
I wish I saw reviews before buying it. It’s too late to return agh
I have had nothing but problems with this GE model. I highly recommend buying extra warranty.
Me too!
I’ve had this about 18 months. Hate it. I can’t fill it properly because the thing vibrates so badly it basically walks across my floor! The clothes hardly move so they’re never clean. I have to wash them 3-4 times. No thanks. Finally got fed up and it’s on the back patio and I just had my LG 8100 front loaders put in. At least I know gravity will move the laundry around enough that it’s getting clean.
Got the same one, but it doesn’t clean as well as our old Agitator washing machine. Dark clothes & most items come out with detergent streaks and lint. Dog hair doesn’t drain out properly and some clothes come out dirtier, even if the hair wasn’t originally on them. And finally, the old machine got blood stains clean, but this new one I ended up having to hand wash scrub several items after a round in the machine, because blood was still on it. (Pre-treated Period, which most women will have to wash.) In which case, what is the point of a washing machine?
This is the most accurate description I can find of this machine.....are we overloading it? too much soap? like what is the deal I have the same problems....
@@chelseabeebe7958 I have tried every different way possible. It doesn't matter if it's 1 item or "full" it's the same outcome.
It doesn't matter which detergent you buy, soak time, pretreatment, water temperature...... this wash just sucks period.
I chose this set because I have 4 small children. We get the belly flu & nose bleeds throughout the year & the laundry mat just seems wrong for bodily fluids🤢 (Sorry) I thought this washer would be perfect for comforters, coats, hunting gear, large capacity items. This doesn't clean dirt of of jeans let alone anything else.
Sure is pretty though 😟
If you are getting detergent steaks and lint. You are overloading. HE washers need space.
this was more helpful than the manual
Happy to help.
If it ever stops coming on. There is a quick reset. Lift the lid up and down 6 times within 12 seconds.
The one in my rental is this model and it works well less the lid lock just randomly stopping working. Nothing is broken so it's just an odd thing that just happened. Thank goodness it's under warranty.
I wish I would have seen this video before I bought my GE. I would have looked for something else. At the very least I would have kept my old washer longer.
Did yours break too? Mine won’t spin 😡
@@jonsnow8766 mine hasn't broke down yet but I do not believe is is as good as my last washer.
@@100kelley i agree mine just stopped spinning im waiting on GE to look at it but i had a washer from 1996-2020 worked fine for 24 years they don’t make them like they used too.
Mine is 2 years old , and not spinning also , agitating , but. NO spin
@@Z3nHolEminD i got mine fixed it was the belt broke off & the motion level piece next to it broke off it cost me $125 to fix.
Thank you very much for that I read the manual..but actually seeing it hands on really helped 👍👍👍👍👍
I have this machine and quit spinning not even a year
Thank you for the details for those of us that are 5"5. 🙂
No problem. Happy to help.
I have this washer and I do have to wash everything on the towels sheets so I can use the deep fill option. I do spin everything on Max and mine is very quiet and doesn't vibrate at all.
And this thing can really spin!
Is that only setting on this machine that allows you to use Deep Fill?
@@beringstraitrailway wondering the same
No there are several other modes that allow for deep fill.
We have this same set and I HATE IT. after a couple of years the buttons stopped working. Can no longer select the deep fill and deep rinse. Same thing on the dryer , now I can only use Timed Dry. Getting rid of it ( Curb Alert) and going back to the old school used Kenmore Washer and Dryer.
I've had this washing machine for 6 years and I didn't know about the my cycle option. Wow, that would have saved me a lot of time 😅
Well at least now you know for going forward.
I have this washer I am happy with it. I am only 5ft tall, so I gotta stand on my tippy toes to reach the bottom. I had an issue with hard water, since I got my new softener and filtration system, all is well. I only need a soda cap full of detergent for a large load of towels. I did have an issue with it being off balance, but my dad came and fixed it for me. My washer and dryer are on my main floor in the mudroom and I'm happy that this one is extremely quiet. I was shocked that the one in the video was so loud spinning, you can't hear mine. Every home is different though. I'd buy this one again.
My washer and dryer closet is right next to my bedroom. You feel this is a pretty quiet washer?
The hallway it is in Israel in front of my bedroom door. As long as it doesn't go off balance you should be fine.
Show us some videos how to operate properly so that everybody here who has that machine will know how it works
I'm sorry I can't right now. Until I get it for my new place I can't video how to use it properly.
The best way to run this machine, is to make sure you have just enough water to create the hydraulic pressure to rotate the load from the sides, to the center. You can run into balancing issues once in a while, so you may have to redistribute your load just before the spin. The lid doesn't lock during the wash cycle, and you can easily unlock it during the drain cycle, so you can intervene if you have to. For an impeller machine, this is a pretty good one compared to Whirlpool, Samsung, and LG's offerings. It didn't take long to learn how to use mine, but I wouldn't consider it a "beginner's washing machine". A front loader would probably be a better option for someone just starting out.
I have this exact washer , a full year now , and I just learned how to use every button today, thank you lol. I'm definitely not a beginner either . its just a difficult one.
@@cnnw3929 this machine is a joke for truly dirty laundry. To freshen slightly used cloths its OK
I have both the washer and dryer...has anyone else had issues with it spinning so hard that it wrinkles the clothes and they don't come out, even after putting it in the dryer?? I also find that detergent streaks and gunk left on clothes and have to wash it again. I don't love it unless I can work out the kinks...
Mine is pretty good but when I put fabric softener in the dispenser it does not dispense
Try thinning it down with water. That's what we have to do.
you need to use deep rinse for the softener to dispense
Just got this set coming next week. My Kenmore Elite all in one front loader died under warranty and this is supposed to be my replacement.
We bought ours in 2016 and it sounds like an airplane is in our laundry room. It is the loudest washing machine we have ever owned. Now it doesn't wash.... just spins.
Hi I just got the same machine I can’t get the detergent thing to slide out I just found out that’s where it goes 🤦🏽♀️I leave it on bulky items it works better . Thanks so much 1 week in and I’m just realizing the detergent slots 😂
Thank you!...You really helped me out to figure my washing machine much better. And yeah, I use a step to get my clothes out into the dryer.
I'm 5'1 kinda short ...
Thanks, again.
Happy to help. It is a very important thing to know. We forget not everyone is the same height as us some times.
We bought one in Nov 2016. In 2019 the drain pump needed repair. It's rusting pretty good above the basket under the lid, and the control board is failing. Clothes washing is OK, and there are some settings to get more water in there.
I got the washing machine and the dryer the same brand I love it 😊
We have this washer. It now won't wash a large load of laundry. It also grids when it seems to have to to much.
I have one, and actually like it. It does a great job, and I want to plug it in again since I now have a higher pressure on my hot water spigot. I am currently using my antique Whirlpool, but it doesn't work as well with the cheap $h!t detergents they have these days, and it's starting to really show its age. I'm glad I ran across this video!
l enjoy my washer had for 2 years. Sometimes it will lock on you, but you place your hand or hands on your smartlock and it will unlock it's self.
Thank you I locked my washer and I didn’t know how to unlocked it so thanks
Happy this was able to help you out.
If your GE Washer craps out and dies you can always buy a used Whirlpool Direct Drive or a Newton Built Maytag Washer made before 2005.
I own the exactly your machine but my washer machine has softer pod n liquid and I use bulky for deep water.. I love my machine.. yes the machine get crazy when the clothes is not correctly
I've had a similar model for 2 months. Everything seems to function fine mechanically, but I'm having so much trouble trying to figure out how much detergent to use so items are evenly cleaned and rinsed well. I use Tide (as GE recommends) Free & Gentle HE. The bottle guidelines seem too high, leaving detergent behind even after an extra rinse (which I always use). If I use much less, it needs a higher soil level selected, and even then it isn't always clean, meaning mainly underarm odor-free. I haven't found a happy medium.
Also, the washes seem so rough and generate lots of lint in the dryer, even with the higher water selections. My older towels are all suddenly coming out with tattered edges, so I'm concerned about my clothes getting worn out too soon.
Also, I wash some whites with bleach and, as usual, an extra rinse. Another wash right after one bleach wash came out with bleach spots!
Also, bulky and waterproof items have to be pushed down because they keep floating up above the water level.
I'm about ready to give up and return it. I had an LG front loader before this which eventually had problems we didn't want to keep fixing. My only complaint was the gasket drainage was designed poorly, so it turned black and needed bleaching, and waterproof items held water after spinning. Any advice is appreciated!
People use too much. If you follow the instructions on the bottle you're using too much. They want to sell, sell, sell. Just us a small about. It is not the amount that cleans as much as it is the condition of you water hard or soft.
I use a full shot glass maybe a drop more. Then speed wash Extra heavy with Auto Soak.
@@taram7408 we returned the machine and got an LG direct drive with agitator. Everything about the GE was a nightmare. When we went in to look for another washer, a different sales person told us the impellers don't clean very well unless you have lightly soiled items. The LG is so much better!
Just got mines delivered yesterday❤.its HUGE inside lol. My romper brand washe died out lol and my home warranty company gave me a lowes gift card towards a new one. I LOVEEEE the glass lid,i like looking inside while it washes😂 The 1 thing i read negative about this that just happened to me is the damn knob came off😅
I have never had that happen before. How did it happen?
@Wanderer001_Reviews well I was turning it to choose my washing setting and BAM it popped off🙃,I gotta get used to using it. It's back on now
I have this washer and like it very much especially the deep fill option, also if I use the bulky setting most of the time it fills to an acceptable water level.
My machine is 3 years old… I’m wondering if you would know of a funny grinding sound when agitating, sounds almost like plastic marbles during the agitating !!!!
It’s a new sound and I’m trying to figure it out!!🤣 Thanks you for any comment that may help me.
I hope it’s not a big problem!!!
I'm pretty sure I've heard the noise you're describing before as well. It seems to happen more often on specific Cycles. When the basket is really whipping around.
I have that same washing machine from GE, from day one in using it there was this dust that appears on our clothes every other cycle. Then i noticed inside the machine towards the top theres this grey lint all around in which we always have to clean about 3 times a week which is annoying, we have no pets and use high efficiency detergent. Im wondering if im the only one this happens to. I was trying to find the lint filter to see if i can clean it better, but no luck.
@xx same here
I've checked a few reviews, hoping to see someone actually run a load. I want to see how long the "sensing" cycle is supposed to take.
We just bought a machine and tried to use it today. It squirts water in for about 1 second, then stops, goes to "sensing" as it spins, squirts in more water for 1-2 seconds, returns to sensing, and then stays there for several minutes before just stopping.
I have a playlist that shows full cycle for reg. deep fill, and max deep fill here: th-cam.com/video/QHpPWfOwPsc/w-d-xo.html
@@Wanderer001_Reviews So, as a follow up...
It's been 6 months since we bought the washer, which is very similar to this one. I have to say I kind of hate it. Clothes keep coming out with white streaks that I initially thought were detergent residue (even though we are using HE detergent) but it almost looks like wet lint or fluff. I have no idea where it comes from but we can't get rid of it. Today was worse. We had some sheets that came out looking like they had mud or wet sand. Again, I have no idea where it comes from, but we are continually washing and re-washing stuff.
It's only a few months old but I can't wait to get rid of it.
Thank you for the great review looking into buying this model
Happy to help.
Mine has gotten louder and louder. I even changed the suspension rods on it to no avail. Might try the bearing next because they supposedly get loose over time
Do yourself a favor and pop the agitator wash plate off and take a look at the bottom of the basket and see if the bad bearing noise is actually a rusted out basket bottom preventing it from turning properly.
hello i got the same washer last tuesday and im having issues with the fabric softener capartment. For some reason when the washer machines fills up to start the wash it also realeses the fabric softener as well. Any way of fixing that? I had called the store they said it was defected :/
Thanks for the video. I have this exact machine. I have HATED it from the first month. H.E. sucks!!! Adding water is a joke, unless you live in an area that conserves water.
My worked for 3 years then stopped spinning had to buy new one
That is about as long as I have had my new one in my home. Have to wait and see.
I just want to know how does it get the clothes clean without an agitator. Cause my sister has one like this & I look in the glass while it was washing... & it looked like it was barely doing anything inside
SN: I wash everything on scalding hot water lol, except blue jeans.
The clothes rubbing together is what gets them clean as opposed to with an agitator which is what they would normally rub against. Depending on the cycle you choose it does different variants of clothes agitation.
This is exactly what I say. The same sock stays in the same place the entire load. No way those clothes are clean. I hate mine.
@Diana same here
I have this exact Washer and Honestly I am frustrated. I have two boys that play hard. This Washer doesn't seem to do anything but just swish their clothes around. I don't see the agitator doing much. I like to see rigorous washing and this isn't doing it for me. I've heard of resetting by unplugging and waiting2 mins...etc. I will try that but I will be calling the Warranty soon for something to be done.
This machine just doesn't clean the cloths. Mine seams to run fine, is balanced, quite and the spin works well but my cloths are never clean. Even in hot water, extra fill, Tide pods....can pull out my husband's sock after a full wash and it's still stiff with ick and sweat. How can that be????
Maybe try the sanitizing mode. That what we use for our work clothes. We also will put Oxiclean with that mode and let soak for longer.
I have this type with an agitator. It stops when it is time to agitate. If you put it on drain and sping, it goes through it, no problem. The bearing is comporised I can tell by its sound. The agitator was wobbly and I didn't like it. So I wanted to remove it but had a hard time. I ended up cutting it because it did not cooporate by locking it through the hole and turning clockwise.
I then unbolted the bottom skirt and check it. It fits more or less good enough on the transmission shaft. Bolted it back on and then I placed the cap that goes on the agitator and it fit perfect.
I turned the machine on. This time the agitator kicked in for a good 10 minutes and then it quit.
Would a bad bearing effect agitation much more than spin on these machines?
The error code was pointing to mode shifter, although I doubted it. But I replaced it nonetheless.
I’ve had tons of issues with the lid lock switch on mine. Aarons has warrantied 2 whole washers for me. The drum stopped spinning after a week. Then it wouldn’t balance even with nothing in it. And then the lid lock kept failing. And for the price it’s terrible. The matching dryer is amazing tho
It really seems that the QA for these is bad, I picked up another one after I moved and have not had any issues with it. Fingers crossed.
I was hoping to find out if you can hear water sloshing when you move the tub around when it's empty. Some GE washers have a "balance ring" partially filled with salt water attached to the outside of the inner basket to help with unbalanced loads. I'm just not sure if the sound of the water in the ring should be heard, or what it should normally sound like because to me it sounds like standing water beneath the tub, and water does collect there, so could it be too much water collecting? Argh! ;) Tanks for the video!
I think it is the sound of the ring not standing water.
I have this washer and really don't like it. The dryer is fine. The washer doesn't get items very clean. They don't even smell clean even with proper amounts of detergent and fabric softener. Black clothes sometimes need to be washed 2 x so get white residue out. Maybe I just need to play around with different cycles.
I tend to use white on deep fill for a clothing other then jeans and towles.
I've had the machine for several years. Nothing works. I'm going to get rid of it. Unless it can be fitted with the middle agitator.
Spin does not affect the speed of the motor, it affects the time (Normal: 8 mins More: 12 mins Max: 15 mins)
I found this very helpful. Thank you. Would you please tell me how to set for a cold wash and rinse. Also, what is the difference between choosing cold tap and cold on the temp guide. We are on well water and at times our hot spurts out brown ugly water.
Pressing the button under temp will change it to cold to warm. I have not really noticed a difference between cold and tap cold.
i have this washer and it bangs and shakes like in the video - OFF BALANCE. i've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why its so loud and bangs so loosely like that. Is there a repair DIY video somewhere??
I would think it should still be under manufacturer warranty if purchased recently. I spoke with a GE rep today. She said for better cleaning, rinsing and less wear on items, to load things in imaginary quarters, folding them in zig zag fashion to fit their quarter. Stack each quarter rather than staggering the layers, and of course try to make the weight even all around for balance. Otherwise, they may get twisted up, inhibiting the cleaning, rinsing and balance. Also, check to make sure your machine is level side to side, front to back as that can affect balancing.
How to get the fabric softener drawer what button do u push so drawer releases? Please help
I have the same one but can’t locate the filter to clean it out !
Love that vibrating Banana Boat sunscreen performance. But be careful about too much info. re: the depth and 'falling-in' into the drum.... hundreds of men have just gone out and purchased this washer; Thousands if mother-in-law lives in home/does the laundry.
Dad jokes...so funny...
Husbies and wives go to prison every week for nudging soulmates over waterfalls or rolling em up in rugs and scrubbing w/ bleach...
Whoever thought simple laundry w/ the GE machine cld be the perfect free-ride crime (add a little bleach jst in case)?
I have this one and it sprays water twice but then it doesn’t do anything, it’s stuck on sensing , if anyone can help? Thanks
Thats what mine is doing! Did you get it repaired?
@@shondabrown7176 Yes, it was an issue with the spinning mechanism, retail store where we bought the washer had a repair guy come fix it, they had to order the part so it took longer than we wanted to, but they fixed, they recommended always following the cycles, they lasso said damage might have been caused by overloading the machine, idk 🤷 good luck
we have this washer, had it for about two years.. and we are having problems to where it wont start on your load! Fighting with a machine to start your clothes is a battle man😭😭 safe to say not buying this washer again
Thank you. Great review 👍
Do you have any comments on this washer 5 years down the road since you uploaded this video? I bought mine years ago but just hooked it up after my old washer finally died. I love it! But am shocked to see all the horrible reviews. Do you still have it? Is it still working fine?
I am supprised with all the horrible reviews as well. I don't know how well this washer has held up as I moved shortly after filming it. However, I did get the exact same one for my new place and 4 years in still running great and I would get it again for sure.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews I just found your channel because I was searching to see if they still made it, because I too would totally buy it again if and when my current one ever fails.😀
Thanks so much I got it to come out it wasn’t easy . Had to wiggle it and pull I wonder why it’s so hard yours came out easy🧐
Thank you for you review I appreciate the demonstration with sound because a washer can get unhinged the basket part. Also I have a great appreciation for the live demonstration on the control panel. Please continue to upload videos on appliances.
Thank you, happy to help.
Our just started leaking after a year and a half. Trying to find out how to get inside to have a look where the leak is coming from.
www.repairclinic.com/ has step by step videos for fixing things. If you put iin the washer modle here it will have videos showing how to take it apart.
I just got a similar model with knobs instead of the digital panel. I was wondering how long the spin cycle is supposed to last. I’ve done a few loads and it seems like it spins at high speed without ever wanting to end or slow down. I stop it manually when it gets around the 5-6 minute mark of high speed spinning (there’s never any remaining water). What is the normal length of time for the high speed spinning? I don’t know what normal is yet for these new washers. Thank you!
Excellent review; thank you! I have a silly question -- there is no 'trap'/filter to clean on this model, is there? I've had one of these for 11 months, and it struck my wife the other day that we have not cleaned any filters on it. Many thanks!
As far as I know no. I went back and even looked over the manual.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews Thank you!
Yes, we were feeling like we needed to clean the trap filter but, there is not one. Do you have issues with residue around the inside of the drum? I have to use basket clean cycle once a week but, that does not take care of the residue. I only use a teaspoon of detergent and softener to avoid this type of build up but, does not make a difference. Also, the drawer is hard to clean and the drawer tray. I can no longer get it white. Do any of you have these issues and if so, what is your solution? Thank you.
I'll use the basket cleaner maybe once a month. Doing that I haven't noticed any residue buildup.
Same problems/no solutions. Wish had never bought it
My wash machine doesn’t fill correctly water ,what shoul I do ?
Fill correctly in what way?
Good Video
just Picked washer and Dryer - Hope its OK
should I get this one need a ( good ) one how is this one
I like it I ended up getting it again when I bought a new place.
Mine stop dispensing the soap and softener all of the sudden it sucks cause they're great
Ours is the agitater type I don't know if it's me not being used to it but it seems like it only spins about a half a turn and then back a quarter turn then forward a half turn them back an 8th turn forward a half turn then back in 8th turn and seems a little grindy have no idea of this is how they're supposed to work I've never had a direct drive before as well
@Wanderer001 I never saw the links you said would be in the upper corner, please provide them.
th-cam.com/video/QHpPWfOwPsc/w-d-xo.html
I have this machine and it's a piece of junk. I've watched the machine work for start to finish and some articles of clothing never even got wet. Going to return ASAP
I'm with you! I've had mine for several years now. It "works" but my clothes are NOT clean. I've tried more water, all different cycles, cleaned the detergent tray. Nothing helps. I can put on heavy soil, deep fill, with Tide detergent pods and pull out my top when done and it still has deodorant on the arm pits as though it never was washed! I have put a cotton T-shirt in there folded just to see and the thing will stay folded for the whole cycle and the spin. Totally sucks. I have another property that has a front load washer that I use the same detergent with and when I do my own laundry there it comes out clean.
I'm a pretty decent "Fix-It-Guy", but this thing is a PERPETUALLY "PROBLEM CHILD".. Always a different issue, and no sooner do I get it "fixed" than another problem arises. Running out of PATIENCE with this, and it appears that the Circuit Board is another area of perpetual problems and issues. You can replace the CB for an outrageous price, but then it seems to me that you're just replacing your old piece of junk for a new piece of junk! My late Mom gave us the money to buy this shortly before she died. I am "psychological conflicted" as I don't want to feel as if I'm "disrespecting" my Mom, but my "head" is very tempted to send this over-priced, and under-performing piece of garbage to the junk heap where (imo) it belongs! Btw, I was "attracted" by the "10 Year Warranty" - - READ IT CAREFULLY!! - - This POC (imo) has essentially a ONE YEAR WARRANTY, with the ONLY thing having a 10 year warranty being the electric motor, and that is EXCLUSIVE of the labor to install it, so you're "ONE (year) and DONE" when it comes to coverage on this thing! NOTHING but one problem after another, after another, after another!! (I "went against my gut" in purchasing a GE product, having had so MANY poor experiences with their (lack of quality) in the past, but I let my emotions ("TEN YEAR WARRANTY!!") and my failure to perform "Due Diligence" re the absurdity and virtual uselessness of their "warranty" sway me into buying this thing. Even if you're a good "Fix-It Guy/Gal", you CAN'T "fix" a poor quality/poorly designed PCB! - Just my opinion and experiences fwiw...!!!!)
Got mine in 2019 the Spinning just broke 😡 they really make these things like crap today GE used to be good!
JUNK JUNK JUNK !!!!
I don’t have many good things to say about this washer. For starters it is a year old and is already messed up. My biggest issue is that the washer doesn’t wring out our clothes and constantly says it has balancing issues. When this happens it refills with water “wasting water” up to 3 fills, and then the clothes are soaked when the cycle ends. Also I can’t use the full capacity of this machine because it is so finicky. I can only load maybe a 4th of the way full.. smh I have to literally lay each piece of clothing out strategically, not covering the center and make sure heavy items are on bottom and balanced like a centrifuge. It takes like 5 minutes to load clothes in this manner and even still I get balancing issues and clothes soaked and washer not spinning them out. It’s maddening. The perk to having a smart “fancy” washer is to make your life easier right? Nope this one has gave me nothing but a headache. My recommendation to anyone looking to buy this, ***DON’T*** get another brand this one is trash. Also that 10 year warranty only covers the motor, not issues like mine so on top of paying for a new washer soon after purchase you will have to pay out of pocket for pricy repairs.
This problem is NOT just a GE problem. All of the manufacturers that use this free floating tub design have this problem. Older machines using a solid suspension and tub brake did NOT have this issue! This issue is courtesy of enviro hippies in government who can't stop meddling in peoples lives with useless and unnecessary regulations! Governments have NO BUSINESS dictating how we wash clothes!
Hi , so I got this washer yesterday. Mine has an agitator. I’ve noticed my washer does not fill and everything comes out dirty still or not wet all the way. How do I get the washer to spray in and stay in until it rinses ?
Have you tried using the Deep fill or Max deep fill option?
I just bought one off the neighbor hood appliance guy and there’s a lid lock on it. It won’t do anything
Lid lock or control lock? If it is control lock you can press and hold the Warm rinse and Auto soak buttons down together for 5 seconds it will then let you use the buttons to control the washer.
The button and cycles had not worked over a year. My machine has not worked😵💫
My washer is
Giving me problem... its whole operating system is blinking at eaxh setting and its power button and start button keep on blinking but didnt start to do washing.. plzzzz help
Me... And stains is not wrking
I have never seen a white laundry detergent on my clothes while washing. I can only see clothes soaked in water and moving around. They don’t come out clean even? Am I doing something wrong wrong? Tried different detergents. Any setting issues?
I have had it happen a few times to me before. Generally when I use too much detergent. Seems to happen when clothing don't move around enough so the detergent does not rise out.
I bought a GE washer with an agitator
My washer I brought used and it’s not filling all the way
Are you trying to do a deep fill? This works only with some of the functions.
Great video going to wait till my load finish and see if tray will open I tried it while on pause and it wouldn’t budge
You may have to tip it up slightly.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews is it very quiet does it have anti-vibration technology
I would not say this is a quiet washer. Also I am pretty sure it does not have any type of anti-vibration mechanism.
@@Wanderer001_Reviews okay I'll pick up the Samsung washer
I’m starting to get the hang of it I just wash everything on bulky so happy now thanks

Have you had an issue with the fabric softener not dispensing?
You need to select deep rinse to have it dispense.
My fabric softener is not dispensing because it won’t let me set the deep rinse anymore. Help please!
Is it only on particular wash cycles or is it all. If it is the latter it might be the button connection is broken.
Yes
I do
I JUST BOUGH ONE AND THE WATER IS NOT FILLING EVEN HALP THE TUB .WHY IS THAT AND HOW DO I GET TO FILL MORE WATER
You would need to use the deep fill option.
Wheres the filter located at ?
When I do my washing often always ends with white spots like dust on my clothes and it's a big problem for me, did this ever happen to you and can you tell me why....I don't't like this washer.
That sounds like detergent that got left on the clothing. I had this issue with sheets when I first got this washer. I found that it was primarily due to me using too much detergent. So you might just need to cut back and you should see that spotting stop.
Thank you. I will try to use less, but my detergent is liquid. I even used the self-cleaning program and didn't help.
Might have too much clothing in there as well. This washer cleans by having the clothes rub against each other. If they get tangled up soap will not be able to rise out.
Does this have a filter that can be removed to clean?
Not that I am aware of.
I have same washer, it locked the electrical panel with a little light and start/pause button flashes
How do i reset it?
It sounds like the control lock was turned on. To turn it off simply hold down the warm rinse and auto soak button together for about 3 seconds. It should then unlock the control panel.
Have it. Hate it. The buttons works intermittently, goes crazily off balance, some things don't even get wet, clothes don't always come out clean, the bleach dispenser is corroding, the softener dispenser doesn't always dispense.
I have a broken lid lock striker to replace don't know how to it.
I have this one. I came here to get tips on how to repair it. This along with the dryer absolutely suck!!! First the machine would make the loud noises when off balanced and then would stop working. Replacing the stabilizers. Now the unit is displaying a code for the HSO supply even though it has plenty of water going in. The dryer has a faulty door switch and continues to shut itself off not drying the clothes. Worse machines I ever bought. Don’t even get me started on the GE dishwasher. I will never buy GE again
Mine turned into a scrap metal after 4 years of use
Everyone has told me that every washing machine has a lint trap. I have the same exact washing machine but my clothes come out covered in lint. I don't know what else to do to help the situation... it's driving me insane. Does this machine have a lint trap???!!!!!
Not that I am aware of. From what I have seen HE washers don't have one.
Witch setting washes harder this thing dosent wash well at all
That would be the soil setting.
I have one as well the noise during the spin cycle is like a freight train really. The other morning the wash machine started on its own no delay cycle it just started it sounded like the pump motor was on. I pushed the start and power button at the same time it did stop after 2 mins not sure if I stopped it by my actions. I was ready to shut off the breaker . Any thoughts
Generally if that happens I stop the washer and move some of the articles around in it to help fix the load.
Has anyone figured out the balancing issue? Our washer came with the house. We did one load and all of our clothes were soaked. Won't spin. Keeps saying balancing. Tried another load and same thing. We did a bunch of trouble shooting, but I saw somewhere something about a balance ring? But, now I can't find it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
