GE Washing Machines Reviews

I bought the washer in June 2022. It broke down in May 2024. It needed a new Motherboard, a mode shifter and a motor all in the summer of 2024! Now it is summer of 2026 and it needs another Motherboard and another Mode Shifter! That’s what the tech from their service provider Bodewell says! They won’t provide the parts or the labor! A shoddy piece of equipment!! Don’t buy from GE, they are owned by Haier now.

Absolute pieces of **. GE Profile top-loading washer had to be replaced after 6 months (under warranty) for a drum failure. Less than 2 years later, the replacement washing machine impeller stopped spinning due to the plastic fins breaking. I will never buy another GE appliance again. ** pieces of **.

I liked the Washer for a few years then I needed a service- the liquid Dispenser leaked, then again the door wouldn’t shut and lock. Now after 4 years- we purchased in 2022, it died.

I have a blue GE profile washer and dryer. Neither of them work to clean anything. I bought them because they are supposed to be energy Efficient. To top it off the washer automatically dispenses so that should save money too. Nope. My clothes always smell. I have to wash them two or three times and it still isn't good even after adding extra detergent.. I've tried all the brands of detergent and scent boosters. The dryer is another story. It takes several hours to dry a half load!! This is after I had the spin strength on the washer turned all the way up!! I don't have all day long to have one load of clothing done. It shouldn't take 2 hours or more to try a half load! I'm over it. I just want to smash them both.

I hate my GE profile top load washing machine. I have had it services twice within the warrantly period already. It continually bunches up the sheets and towels into a giant mushroom often time the center of the clothes are not even wet causing the machine to fill again and again trying to even the load. The water levels on all cycles except for bulky are minimal. I timed the rinse cycle and it is literally 2 minutes and then empties. I had my Samsung for 15 years and only replaced before the tariffs went to effect. I'm so sorry I did. Never again will I purchase a GE washer.

So much for an AMERICAN ICON, the American-made GE. Feels like cheating. The machine and the inverter board were made in China breakdown was in less than two years. 10-year warranty that only covers the motor. GE products made in China are a piece of shit. I regret buying it at Lowe's.

I have a washing machine that will be 1 year old in September (1 month from now). Roughly 2 months ago our washing machine (GE Profile) stopped working. I spent numerous hours calling, emailing, GE, their maintenance company, and Fix It First (the contracted repair company). Eventually, within 1 week they fixed my washing machine by removing the WiFi chip (oh well at least it was working). We are still under factory warranty. About 1 month after repair it quit with wet clothes in the washer and it's day 3 of reporting the issue and I still have wet clothes in the dryer.

We have had our GE Front loader washer for 5 years. Called a technician out and he told us they are a bad product. The 2021 washers are having a lot of issues and they know it. Our washer died after 5 years so I called GE and they will not help us. The warranty just ran out. They want to charge us to have one of their technician to come out. It has to be their technician. 114.00 and labor and parts. If the motor need replacement then they will replace it but not the labor. What a scam. What good is a warranty if you have to pay them to determine it's the motor. Well I just wanted to make people aware of this issue.

The main board of my smart washing machine went out shortly after the 1 year warranty was over. $800 to have it replaced. When I researched it I discovered they have had trouble with these cheap Chinese board for the last three years and done nothing to resolve the problem. A disgrace for an AMERICAN ICON, and opportunity for a class action suit. I discovered lots of these "new" smart washing machines in used appliances stores.

I bought a brand new set and paid strong 2800 for it! We have had this about 6 years! Worst experience I’ve ever had!!!! I am so disappointed in this product!

Please do not buy from GE. May invest in any other good brand, my washer GFW850SPN3RS. The pump broke down after 3 years of use, the maintenance and repair services are very expensive and the customer service is very dismissive and unable to help. If you buy the most expensive washer in market you expect it to work properly for few years!! Do not buy! Invest in any brand but GE.

I have purchased a new higher end top loading GE washer and dryer. I had two LG sets and my dryers were gas. Since our new home didn't have a gas outlet, we decided on a top load washer this time primarily because I wanted to be able to have a soak feature which I missed. I love this set. It does everything I need and they run very well. No problems. The washer is a infuser model and it is a little more care loading. Not a big deal though. Love all features on both washer and dryer. Have had these for 5 years without any problems. Would definitely buy again ...

Luxury apartments still have these old GE washer and dryer and they are awful! When the washer is uneven the spin is terrible. Literally can't stand them. The sheet metal is too thin as well.

No matter where I set my settings on my top load washer, the water does not cover my clothes. When my husband bought this, nowhere on the box informed him that the water would be SOOOO minimal. I have dirty Nursing uniforms & my husband has very large greasy & very dirty farmer clothing. How am I saving water or energy if I have to run each load twice to get them cleaned. Or stand here with an extra hose on a "Y" to fill water level where I need it. Which, if you don't fill it quick enough, it will just drain all that water RIGHT BACK OUT!!! WASTING TIME & WATER! THE diagram on the booklet shows the water filling up to at least 3/4 of tub for large loads, but it never raises any further than a small load. GO BACK TO THE WASHERS WE USED TO HAVE, PLEASE.

I had been a loyal GE customer since 1974. When my new husband and I purchased a new washer/dryer/ stove and refrigerator (Harvest Gold) as our first appliances. Did it again and again a few times about every 10 years as we moved. ALWAYS GE Profile. Always good and dependable. This last time I bought a top loading washing machine (plus normal dryer) at Lowe's San Clemente, mainly for the large tub size because I have an Airbnb and do tons of uncomplicated laundry. This new machine doesn't know hot from cold. Regular from delicate. It has churned up and torn huge holes in heavy towels. Grinded them to bits in an uncrowded laundry tub. Cannot wash towels without going off center.

I purchased a GE Front Load Washer about two years ago. Model Number: GFW850SPN - one of their higher end washers. Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY THIS GE WASHER. I have been on the phone with their new Customer Service which is now handled by Bodwell (?) and no matter how hard I tried, I could not reach a human being to talk to.

Since day one we have nothing but issues with this machine front loader. Have not had it a full year and we keep having mildew on the front door seal and it always stinks like the water does not fully leave the washer and the constant smell. It does a horrible job and we have been suffering with it. It is the worst and I want the old washer back that did a great job.. My clothes never smell as good as they used to even with the dryer sheets. Very disappointed. Thousands spent on the latest and greatest front loading models and they are a pain in the A.

I purchased the GE 5.0 cu.ft smart front load washer a year ago, and I have had problems with it since day one. The machine does not spin properly. When the repair technician came out, he asked me for some towels to test it. I gave him four towels, and the washer would not spin. Then he asked for even more towels. How does that make sense? Does that mean I can't wash small loads? The problem is, I definitely can't wash large loads either because the machine often won't spin at all.

I purchased the 3.8 cu ft unitized washer with electric dryer to replace a 20-year-old model that was well past its prime. The unit was installed very quickly, however never ran one load. Fortunately, Home Depot allows 48 hours to return or replace the unit. The replacement was scheduled and installed a few days later and seems to operate flawlessly. I’m over my disappointment in the first unit's failure but understand manufacturing and transportation caused problems, particularly with electronics.

Bought a GE washer in Aug 2025, from Lowe's in Beaumont, Texas. Started breaking down in Nov. 2025. We made multiple calls to GE and had 3 services calls. We have been without a washer for 22 days, and waiting for 8 parts to be delivered, before service guy can come out and replace all these parts. GE refuses to replace washer or give us money to buy another. Never again will we buy another GE and probably will not shop at Lowe's anymore.

I'm not satisfied with this washing machine. It had an issue with balance and some other things. They repaired it about a month ago. It hasn't been a year since I bought it!! Now it's doing the same thing!!! Won't recommend it to anyone.

GE clothes washer Model GTW485ASW0WB Serial number RZ906419G transmission leaked grease and won't spin. Bodewell, their service agent is very elusive. A part for the tranny is $250. He would not tell us an approx. labor cost. GEs' 10 year limited parts warranty according to the Bodewell covers only the electric motor. Our machine is only 1.5 years old. Apparently it is junk! So much for long lasting GE appliances.

I purchased a stackable washer/dryer set. First just after 1 year the dryer drum cracked and it wasn’t covered. I had to purchase a new one. I had to go with the same model since they are a stackable pair. Now 6 months later the main circuit board and the inverter board both broke. Again they were not covered. I’ll never purchase another GE washer dryer unit.

The one year warranty is necessary OR GE would lose a ton or money on washer replacements. GE’s washer design must be flawed. Much of the complaints on this website and BBB’s have break time starting after 2 years. This is in fact when ours broke — twice. Purchased GTW525ACP0WB washer Nov 2022. June 2024 Bodewell replaced: 1/2 hp motor and nut, platform bearing retainer & fa, drive belt, transmission pulley & nut, speed sensor, 1/2 HP motor pulley & nut.

Failed after 2 years and GE wouldn’t stand behind any warranty since it’s only 12 months. Buy a Speed Queen.

We bought a GE washer GFW850SOB4RS 2.5 years ago and it is now a very expensive boat anchor. My wife and I are retired and only run it maybe 2 days a week. 2.5 years is totally unacceptable. The repair tech said that the inverter board for sure was bad ($480) and the main board ($250) was giving bizarre feedback: board said high pressure seen while no pressure present, tech tried to update the board firmware, board said it failed to update, then said update successful. Total repair ~$750 for a washer that I bought 2.5 years ago for $900. Tech said choice was mine, but suggested that for $750, I might as well buy new washer. That GE puts out such a crappy product is unconscionable.

We purchased our washer and dryer and it was delivered February 2024. I haven't had the washer a little over 2 yrs and the control board already needs replaced. After a lot of research this seems to be very common with this type of washing machine. My service repair guy told me they have worked on 100s of them the past year and all having problems with control board and pump motor. And of course the warranty is good for 1 yr.

The dryer was about 3 months old and won’t start. Plastic push button to start was busted. Simple repair but inconvenient. Now washer - 5 1/2 months old- is broken. Won’t start. Looks like again plastic start button is broken. GE you need to reevaluate these parts!!!

Worst washing machine/dryer combo. You cannot clean the lint out of the machine. If I could give this a negative 10 I would. I bought a separate hose to clean out the long tunnel but nothing is narrow long or flexible enough!! Not to mention the time it takes to just clean out the lint filter and foam piece every single time. I tell anyone who asks not to even think about buying one. And if they offered my almost $3000.00 that I wasted on this I would jump at the chance to get rid of it and buy a regular washer and dryer again.

I purchased GE® 5.0 CU. FT. CAPACITY SMART FRONT LOAD ENERGY STAR® STEAM last Feb 2024. Initially working great until this April 2026 it stopped working. Had Best Buy support tech diagnosed the machine. It needs to change main control board, inverter board, door lock that will cost $730. Almost the same price of brand new one. I wish I looked on this consumer report before buying washer because it is similar problem with customers. Do your research before buying a washing machine. I contacted GE customer support and almost similar price.

DO NOT BUY GE WASHERS!!!! They get out of balance and will keep filling up fully even when water is set too low, just to try to rebalance itself, even on drain and spin. GE should be sued for all the extra water they use because of that, and your water bills will skyrocket!

I’ve had this machine for two years. Most of the time it’s been broken. The computer board goes out and it burns up the door switch $250 in parts. This is one day after the one year warranty took three weeks to get parts. After that, the motor went out which has a 10 year warranty, but I had to wait three months for a new motor. These are complicated machines that are not worth the money. Do not buy one of these.

What happened to the old-fashioned washing machines that actually cleaned clothes? This GED fill washing machine, barely spins even when it’s on the maximum spin speed and when items get twisted there isn’t enough water to fill the tub even on deep fill mode to actually rinse and get in between the crevices of the twisted clothing. I wanted this washing machine for a long time and now I’m sorry I have it.

Washer was shaking and making loud scraping noises from the first wash. Since the June 2025 delivery I have had 11 visits to “repair” the front load GE washer, many different opinions regarding what is wrong with the washer. GE’s policy is to spend more than the washer costs to repair until a repair person says it is not repairable. Almost a year later, they decided it was the pedestal so a new one was dropped off.. Said it was up to me to have it installed at my cost because it was an accessory and not covered. I have not had installed it thinking once I did it on my own, it would end any opportunity I have for recourse. The washer is damaged. The drum moves sideways in addition to around, the noise is horrendous.. I would never buy from GE again and wish I had read reviews before my purchase.

I have had a GE washer GFW550s for just over two years and have just my husband and I in the house, but this stopped working and had major electrical problems. I just had an $800 repair to replace main control board, inverter and the door lock. What a piece of junk and a horrible brand experience. I will NEVER buy another GE appliance again and would not have repaired this one if I didn’t have a matching dryer. I recommend everyone stay away from this model and all GE washers and dryers!!! Bought at Lowe’s.

Bought the GE industrial washer and ever since day one the water level is never right and it's always off-balance even when you try to rebalance it. Other times it doesn't even drain completely so it never spins the clothes dry.

I simply hate my new washer. I purchased a GE washer several months ago and they don’t make them like they used to. It doesn’t spin my clothes enough they come out really wet. When you put it on warm water first hot comes out and then cold comes out instead of it coming out together warm. I have to play with the knobs because it don’t wanna start at first. Also, if you wanna put fabric softener in, you have to fill the washer all the way to the top which it has a knob for that. That’s a waste of water. I’ll never buy another GE washer. They are so generic.

Paid $700 for the GTW325ASWWW washer and WOW, what a disappointment. I didn't realize this upon purchasing but there are new water regulations that they are following. Water trickles out of the machine and your clothes do not get wet enough. Dry spots everywhere - so disgusting! There is no way that machine is cleaning your clothes. Even with a tiny load (which was recommended to me) - my clothes still aren't clean, barely wet and with dry spots. Also, why make a massive washer if you have to do tiny loads. These are being put in houses and apartments everywhere!!!

I just bought a GTW325ASW0WW GE washing machine. The guy who delivered it took the base and the box away. I read the instructions for installation and followed them. No where in the instructions did it say to remove the the small sticky styrofoam pad on the side of the drum. When we ran it, it thumped. So I looked on google and it said to always remove any pads or cardboard. If the technical writer would have included this, it would have saved me the trouble. Remove the small sticky styrofoam pad.
