I liked how you show us how to use it. But about adding detergent. Since that’s the HE/High Efficiency washer. HE washer uses less water than traditional washers. Detergent sitting on top of the clothes could lead to staining. Add detergent in the bottom of the washing basket BEFORE you load the clothes. Just letting you know everybody!
Yay , I feel better about my purchase, the review's about it being extra loud and moving around kinda made me regret buying these but your video shows them in use and honestly it's not even bad 🙃. I'll update after a week and see how they are working for me.
I just bought the newer model of this washing machine today. Mine also has the "Deep Rinse" button. You stated in your vid that if you wanted to add more water for another rinse, you would have to hold down the button for 30 seconds. My question is when should I push down and hold the button? Should I do it when the "Wash" cycle is finished and ready to enter the "Rinse" cycle or do i do it just after the "Rinse" cycle is completed; ready to move on to the "Spin" cycle? Thanks in advance and thanks for uploading this informative video?
3 seconds, not 30. You would do it at the beginning before you even start the cycle. I've actually never tried this, but here's what the manual says: "Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible."
I purchased this and had it delivered yesterday at 11:xxam. This machine was dancing on the floor. This sucker is loud. It sounds like a motorcycle running. During the washing cycles, I noticed the lights inside another appliance kept flickering to the same rhythm of the washer. I've never experienced that before. By 7pm (same day) I called the customer service store who advised to go to the store. Management claimed it is a leveling error that will be corrected tomorrow morning. My basement is unfinished. I kept hearing a humming sound near the washer. When I unplugged the washing machine, the sound stopped. Clearly this machine is still using enough power to cause this humming sound even when not in use ($$). The close didn't spin dry. So, I ran the extra spin cycle. It doesn't just do a spin. It rinses and spins (which I wish I'd known earlier). So far, I am not impressed with this machine. I'm going to see if tomorrow will improve the flaws I am experiencing; otherwise, I will be returning it. ****If you are shopping for washers, this one does not have a separate rinse cycle. When I noticed, the soap hadn't rinsed completely, I had to run another whole (small delicate) cycle just to obtain an extra rinse.
It does have some vibration but I've noticed the material that the washer feet are made out of seems to be softer and spongier. It's very difficult to move it across a tile floor but in turn it seems to work in favor of the machine I am pleased so far. I liked your demonstration on this matter.
Hi, I also just purchased this and tried my first cycle last night. When It started it did make a weird noise that caught me off guard however it changed over to very quiet. Is this still happening for you? & how long does it normally happen? I did not see the time yesterday to keep track due to it throwing me off at first. Thanks!
@DarkStoneCastle Do you STILL have this washer 7 years later? Just curious and if so, have you had any issues with it? Thanks for a reply as this refurbished appliance store is trying to offer me your washer tgat you reviewed 7 yrs ago in exchange for the one they delivered to me (end of March) that's a GE 4.2 deep fill that has all your features but doesn't have the agitator in the middle and mine is larger capacity then the one they want to exchange mine for. Curious as to your results. Thanks.~Beth in FL 🌴
My life has been a mess so I've had to move a lot. I had to sell the particular one in this video. Eventually I rebought the washer several times (long story... I've moved a lot) But, I've never had a single issue with this model of washer as of today, even though I've owned it 3 times due to having to move and sell at various times since making this video.
Didn't RTFM. You load a washer by clothes mass, not volume. That one is overloaded if everything is cotton. The manual has a guide for what constitutes a load. The difference between this and proper loading effects the longevity of both the clothing and the machine . Better to have a few more sets of clothes and have them last 2x as many washes. Cloths can cost much more than the machine, power and supplies over time or much less depending on how you wash them. TLCCOO includes clothing plus washing.
one thing I like about this model is the floating drum corrects itself if there is an uneven load. it prevents the washer from jumping up n down when there is an uneven load...something my,old skool washer did not do.
Not true, I bough this in late April 2018, have had problems with it dancing and jumping all around during spin cycles, since under warantee, had tech come out, he tried to replicate but couldn't!! He verified it was level and nothing was bound up or broken. Wouldn't ya know. He said getting a rubber mat or these little pucks might be the only answer (he is a contractor not an actual GE tech). Bought the little pucks and installed then loaded up a queen comforter. Figured if anything was going to make it unbalanced this would, nope not even a hint of movement. Today did a small load of whites, t-shirts, socks and damn thing jumped all over, even with the pucks. Wish I could just have them take it back but not much else to choose from in this price range. Will know better next time!
All right I have a question I have this dryer I put a medium load in for 30 minutes the clothes weren’t even warm at all not dryer so the time dry doesn’t seem to work but if I put it on more dry I noticed the dryer start to heat up why doesn’t the timer dry work?!?
I bought this washer for a rental house. It has a 1 year warranty and I bought the extended 3 years on it. 4 years and one month later my renter moved out and my washer shakes so bad I’m going to have to call a repairman. I’m sure it was overloaded but I think my husband and I can repair it. My advice is don’t own rental property. People tear up everything and don’t bother to tell you.
Do you have any idea why the water starts to fill up but then stops? This is the 3rd time this has happened to me. I press the start button and hear the water filling, so I assumed it's started. When I return to my basement 30+minutes later, I see the drum has only a tiny bit of water. It's clear the clothes were never wet. I press the start button and it starts up again just fine. I never see a light flashing saying it's paused or anything like that. It's brand new.
Just purchased this set. I get the same noise as you do in the wash cycle, but mine is quite a bit louder? Should I be worried or is it because it has only ran a few times and the sound will decrease over time? I see on GE website they mention something about break pads grinding down and the noise easing up.
It automatically senses if the clothes have had enough water extracted. Ie The spin cycle for women's polyester delicates that don't retain water is shorter than with cotton jeans of the same dry weight with all the machine settings the same.
I just got mine delivered today... I'm glad you posted turning the knob on the dryer because thats what I was looking for. It didnt click around nicely like the washer so I was worried something was wrong, but it looks like yours functioned the same as mine. Will you confirm that for me? :) The dryer just kind of rotates and doesnt click like the washer correct?
I like ur video I bought this machine and confused with certain cycles and water levels to put it on. Which water level did u put load in this video? I heard deep rinse but what water level, max ? Thank you
@@DarkStoneCastle yes that what I want the water level you have in this video so when I have large loads and comforters. I want the water to be above the items.
i dont know why people are so annoying about the vibration. back then washers would spin all over the place and move around and those were supposedly the best washers ever. GE has done a better job with their washers than maytag and whirpool. i have the High Efficiency one and tbh in my opinion it works great and spins great. im glad you went with ge lol get ready for the speed queen fans taking over your comment section haha
Frank Borrego i feel the same way.. people complain about tgings that arent even a big deal..back then people washed on rocks and now people complain about everything. i love my GE HE top loader.. it does a good job for me
justin M thats exactly why i refuse to buy one lol im not paying a grand for one washer heck no. my GE HE top loader does just fine for me and it didnt even cost me 600 dollars.
I just got this as a replacement washer at my apartment & the only thing I don’t like is that when it’s in the rinse cycle, the lid is locked and I can’t add any softener to the washer! I tried to intercept it just now to add softener and the thing didn’t go back and it just reset the whole wash cycle again!! Ugh!!! I miss my old washer where I could be able to set my washer at the rinse cycle and with this NEW. washer I can’t do that anymore!
Liquid softener goes in the cup on the agitator at the start and it dispenses automatically. However, stopping or raising the lid during the first spin cycle will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.
1 year warranty on both the washer and dryer. No, I didn't buy any extended warranties. I won't be using them that much since I'm just one person living here in an apartment. If I had a family of 4 or so, maybe I would have.
im looking for a traditional washer and not HE since i've heard the new HE have such low water levels. how do you like this one so far? it is $399 at lowes rightnow.
ive had it for about 3 weeks now. i like it. the clothes come out smelling better than my old skool washer ever did. And its energy efficient. i'm a believer. Plus i have the choice if i want to fill the washer or not.
Love it! Especially for $400, which is what I paid. I've had it about 3 or 4 weeks now and done maybe 8 loads. No problems. Uses plenty of water with the Deep Rinse button and gets clothes clean. Can't see why anyone would not like this washer unless they are looking for a spin cycle that is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. And to get that you're gonna pay a lot more than $400!
just bought this right now....should be delivered tomorrow from lowes. i,specifically wanted the old school washer(not HE) and this was the only one they sold. hopefully it last at least 10 years.
@@DarkStoneCastle I just bought this finally used it yesterday. When I hit the pause button, the lid stayed locked? Can you explain. Also, how do I get mines to fill like yours. The max is not even close to the top?
@@sharris3624 Hello, do you have the exact same model as mine? When I hit the pause button on mine, the lid lock will start blinking, which means it is unlocked and I can now open the lid. To fill it with water to the top, press the Deep Rinse button at the top left of the machine before starting a cycle.
I just ordered one last night.. Not alot of choices for washers with agitators anymore.. From my research I find the washers without agitators don't clean as well. Friends with front loaders and low water washers say some of the clothes don't even get wet. So (from what I've read), machines without agitators can fit more clothes and are more gentle on the clothes (but isn't that what agitators on gentle cycle is for), but the machines with agitators clean much better.. Machine is coming on Sat.. Guess I'll find out soon enough!!
Sales person at Sears said she is always getting this 3.8 cu. ft. washer back for not spinning enough water out of the clothes. The clothes are still wet, at least that is what she told me. She said the 4.2 cu. ft. doesn't have that problem, she doesn't know why.
Don't know about that. The spin cycle on this washer gets the clothes about the same dryness as every other washer I've used or owned in the last 25 years. Don't remember reading too many bad reviews on this washer other than some people complaining that the spin cycle was too loud. I wouldn't have gotten it if the reviews weren't pretty good. Still very happy with mine (as is a friend I know that has one) after 5 months or so.
This happened when I did a speed cycle but then I turned it to drain and spin and the clothes were fine. I don't know if that's normal. We've only had it for a day. I'm going to read the manual lol. Might return it.
Kept this washer for almost 2 weeks and the same thing kept happening. Clothes sopping wet! It was random no matter how big or small the load was! Had Lowe's pick it up today and ordered a Kenmore from Sears instead. Sigh.
The 4.2 machine and the smaller one share most of the same guts.The larger basket creates higher centrifugal force over a larger drum surface during spin cycle, better water extraction in the same time.
Worst washer-dryer combo especially if you have a big family who wants to wash their clothes separately. Washer makes loud noises during wash (and especially spin cycle (sounded like someone banging the wall). The washer is not even full and heavy load is not an option for us. We had to wash our robe with just 1-2 towels as it couldn’t handle it. Broke down after a year and a half. As for the dryer, its dial is quite fragile. Been replaced twice in 2 years.
I was hoping for a GE video. This guy doesn't follow the printed instructions; adds the detergent on top, instead of on the bottom, like the instructions say to do. I wanted to make sure all the sounds that I am hearing are normal. He doesn't take us to the end, which is where I am concerned. Also, you are advised not to open the lid while in the fill stage.
If you are killing 2 machines each in 2 years, the common denominator is you. The only washers sold in the US that aren't made on the American continent have obvious foreign names. Ge Appliance Co was bought by Haier, after Ge had been losing its shirt making machines of declining quality under Jack Welsh's successors.. The Ge brand major appliances are still built by US workers in the same US plants that Ge operated for decades. Haier has gutted those plants, modernized the production and has the workers actively engaged in the same continuous improvement process that Elon Musk uses at Tesla. Haier is a major success story in Asia having created a company based on high quality for affordable priced while competitors produced low quality junk.
La mìa modelo 330 en botón star también dice pausa, podrìas usar esa... Para apagar completo, no creo...hay q esperar q acabe el ciclo completo q elegiste d tanda. Yo no llevo ni 1 semana y estoy frustrada, no llena completo d agua la tanda peq y la ropa se hace nudos, da muchos golpes luego, obvio no se lava bien y no sè q hacer...quiero devolverla y no perder el dinero.
Buscando lavadora "de antes", lo moderno no me gustò en este caso. Funciona pero necesito usar manguera para llenar ciclo y sentir q se lavò bien la ropa. También compré nevera en mueble electric, está si me salió mala, pero no tengo $$ para otra. 🙏Suerte ✌️

Yours probably just seems louder since it is there before you as opposed to listening to audio from a youtube video. I'm guessing anyway.

I don't know how you made a washer and dryer video into a rick and morty skit, but...you did. 😂✌
No HE detergent required?
Is there a way to change the length of the spin cycle, it seems like it spins forever, the clothes are almost dry at the end of the cycle?
No, don't see any way to change it.
Why would you want to change that? Less dry time when it spins good!

I bought the 2 year warranty for $69. That's less than $3 a month.. and less than my PSE&G worry free price.
I'd be very surprised if this set is still going in Dec. 2023 without any issues. Most likely not.
I just purchased this washer i have a question, when i start the washer why does it just make noise and , no water comes out?
Either not hooked up right, or broken.
Ugh! Why do ppl put the soap right on the clothes! Lol wait till it fills up or put it in first so it blends in everywhere
It could possibly stain your clothes if you add detergent on top of clothes before the washer starts
@@herecomesdatrain that’s exactly what I’m saying, but it isn’t abo staining it doesn’t distribute through the water

At the beginning, in the center.
Thanks for the fast response
Bought one a year ago, don't think it will make it another year some thing is grinding bad. Will not bye ge washer again
Your video helped me a lot. But how do I turn off the washing machine?
Open the lid to stop it. Keep the lid open for more than 10 seconds or so and the water will automatically drain out.
That's what I did. I left the lid open during the night. But when I closed it at morning it started filling with water.
On mine, you hold the start button for three seconds
Does the lid lock at any point during the wash? I want a top loader but I don't want one were the lid locks.
Yes, it does lock but you can hit the pause button at any time to unlock it.
@@DarkStoneCastle I just bought this finally used it yesterday. When I hit the pause button, the lid stayed locked? Can you explain. Also, how do I get mines to fill like yours. The max is not even close to the top?
@@sharris3624 Hello, do you have the exact same model as mine? When I hit the pause button on mine, the lid lock will start blinking, which means it is unlocked and I can now open the lid. To fill it with water to the top, press the Deep Rinse button at the top left of the machine before starting a cycle.
I just ordered one last night.. Not alot of choices for washers with agitators anymore.. From my research I find the washers without agitators don't clean as well. Friends with front loaders and low water washers say some of the clothes don't even get wet. So (from what I've read), machines without agitators can fit more clothes and are more gentle on the clothes (but isn't that what agitators on gentle cycle is for), but the machines with agitators clean much better.. Machine is coming on Sat.. Guess I'll find out soon enough!!
Looking good but how about the performance
Performance is great for such an inexpensive washer and dryer.
Will this accomodate a queen comforter!?
Yes it will.
Bulky items like comforters and bedding is right for bulky item cycle
Is this machine still working?
Yep, still working fine.
yo compre una dryer en febrero y es abril y ya no calienta no se porque tendra garantia de fabrica

This happened when I did a speed cycle but then I turned it to drain and spin and the clothes were fine. I don't know if that's normal. We've only had it for a day. I'm going to read the manual lol. Might return it.
Kept this washer for almost 2 weeks and the same thing kept happening. Clothes sopping wet! It was random no matter how big or small the load was! Had Lowe's pick it up today and ordered a Kenmore from Sears instead. Sigh.
The 4.2 machine and the smaller one share most of the same guts.The larger basket creates higher centrifugal force over a larger drum surface during spin cycle, better water extraction in the same time.
Mines won't fill, only halfway that's all. Your water level is what I'm looking for.
Will it fit a comforter?
Yes, I put a queen size comforter in today. Came out super clean!
U need to put less clothes. That machine does wash real good. You need to balance it. It spins real good.
Can the dryer be connected to a regular outlet
No.
Worst washer-dryer combo especially if you have a big family who wants to wash their clothes separately. Washer makes loud noises during wash (and especially spin cycle (sounded like someone banging the wall). The washer is not even full and heavy load is not an option for us. We had to wash our robe with just 1-2 towels as it couldn’t handle it. Broke down after a year and a half. As for the dryer, its dial is quite fragile. Been replaced twice in 2 years.
I just purchased one but makes a ugly noise is tha normal?
it's normal
Does anyone know if their is filter. On washer so I can change it ???
Still working in 2018?
Yep, still working like new.
I was hoping for a GE video. This guy doesn't follow the printed instructions; adds the detergent on top, instead of on the bottom, like the instructions say to do. I wanted to make sure all the sounds that I am hearing are normal. He doesn't take us to the end, which is where I am concerned. Also, you are advised not to open the lid while in the fill stage.
Good job. Going to buy one tomorrow. Hope it lasts.
Still working? 2019
Yep
Forgot to mention that my washer spins and vibrates very loudly, give me back my old washing machine lol
change the spring
craftymagnets what washer would you recommend? I also have this washer n sucks
I have the same exact GE washer.
Did you like it ?I got mine today I'm not sure about the washer
Still working 2020?
YEP!

@@DarkStoneCastle A question, rinsed twice?
I’m on my second washer. Same model. First one lasted two years. Second one it two years old and crapping out. Cheaply made Chinese junk.
I think they are made in America
G.E is owned by China
If you are killing 2 machines each in 2 years, the common denominator is you.
The only washers sold in the US that aren't made on the American continent have obvious foreign names.
Ge Appliance Co was bought by Haier, after Ge had been losing its shirt making machines of declining quality under Jack Welsh's successors..
The Ge brand major appliances are still built by US workers in the same US plants that Ge operated for decades. Haier has gutted those plants, modernized the production and has the workers actively engaged in the same continuous improvement process that Elon Musk uses at Tesla.
Haier is a major success story in Asia having created a company based on high quality for affordable priced while competitors produced low quality junk.
Darks should be washed on casual cycle and dry on casual also cotton setting is too hot for darks
Ha. Ha. I wish I had time for that.
DarkStoneCastle it doesnt take long 45 min i think
No detergent
oh i was ripped off they sold me this for 450 usd and it was second hand. Wtf
hola yo tengo una labadora de esas pero nose como apagarla si me pueden desir como se apaga plis
La mìa modelo 330 en botón star también dice pausa, podrìas usar esa... Para apagar completo, no creo...hay q esperar q acabe el ciclo completo q elegiste d tanda.
Yo no llevo ni 1 semana y estoy frustrada, no llena completo d agua la tanda peq y la ropa se hace nudos, da muchos golpes luego, obvio no se lava bien y no sè q hacer...quiero devolverla y no perder el dinero.
@@mmtz-tz5581 la cambiaste? Yo la acabo de comprar y ya me está decepcionando
Buscando lavadora "de antes", lo moderno no me gustò en este caso. Funciona pero necesito usar manguera para llenar ciclo y sentir q se lavò bien la ropa. También compré nevera en mueble electric, está si me salió mala, pero no tengo $$ para otra.
🙏Suerte ✌️
