GE Washing Machines

In my occupation, I am required to wear uniforms. I wash my uniforms every week. I have had the same uniforms for 6 months. They still look new. They are not dingy. They do not have a "nursing home smell." They smell like fabric soften. I have washed the same uniforms at the laundry mat. The clothes have lint fibers on them. They come out hot alone with acquired stench.

Great washer overall. But the problem is with the energy saving low amount of water the washer uses. In order for stains to be removed, I must use a stain remover. The low water level, which is not adjustable, does not move the clothing around enough for a good washing for stained items. I found the items washed didn’t rinse enough, so everything I wash has to have an extra rinse. I do use the proper detergent for these machines and measure accurately. I love the hand wash cycle on this washer and use it regularly. I have had this washer for almost 11 years and have never needed any service. I will buy GE again. I hope the newer washers have improved water levels.

My old washer was a GE that lasted 35 years until it finally quit. I bought a new GE. It has many features. My old one didn’t plus it’s quieter and spins out great. The clothes are almost dry so it takes less dryer time. I am no fond on the leaking lid because sometimes I use liquid detergent and like to put it in water before adding clothes. Now I add detergent and pour about a gallon of water to dissolve it. Most of the time I use pods. I just hope I get the long lasting service from this one as I did from my old one.

I had a 5 year old expensive Whirlpool model with all the bells and whistles. It got to where it was constantly throwing codes, it was more to fix it than to buy another washer. I chose the GE because it has dial controls and an agitator at a very good price. I have had it for about 8 months and it does the job. I hope I get more than 5 years out of this one, but I spent less than half the price of the old washer I had.

Our GE washer, model #GTW460ASJ6WW, needed repair. They first tried to walk me through re-setting the washer, but that didn't work and it needed to have a technician sent out to repair it. It was one month out of warranty, however, the very nice gentleman on the phone stated that since it was just one month out of warranty, they would send someone out 'no charge'. Some other companies wouldn't have done this one month out of warranty, so I think GE deserves a shout out.

I will never buy a GE appliance again. Bought brand new washer and dryer from Home Depot Nov. 2018. Loud noise in dryer 2 weeks after, GE does not service my area, which I was never told when I purchased them. I had to look for a technician, call GE with part #, they would then send part to me and the tech would have to come back to fix. I could not find a repairman that would do it so after a week of hassle, they said the model # and serial # did not match so I had to take a pic of it and send it to them. Trying to shorten story... hassle for weeks, sent a new dryer. New dryer is okay, but I am now seeing black grease marks on edges of pillow cases, sheets, so I think it's from the dryer. Washer is the worst I have ever had. Model #GTW680BSJWS does not clean the clothes. Very little water and it sprays out so lightly is practically drips out. Clothes after washing often have lint, dog hair, detergent residue on them and wrinkled.

Less than 2 years old my GE top load washing machine model GTW330ASK3WW has been causing me to work so hard to balance loads. Many times I've had to remove more than half of an average size load, or wring out water into tub as if its too heavy. It's pretty much been going on for months... reading about 'off balance' issues on YouTube and such. It is ridiculous and not sure if you can reset anything in the smartboard or whatever. The locking mechanism is a safety joke causing unimaginable wasted time and from what I've read, cannot be bypassed as w/ some machines.

We have had the GE High Efficiency washing machine for just over 1 year (purchased in June 2018). We have had to have it repaired for the same issue (won't finish a cycle) 4 times now. It's a brand new machine and we cannot use it for weeks at a time due to waiting on repair people to look at it. Do NOT buy this machine. It is so frustrating!

Let me just say this pair of washer and dryer that we purchased when we moved into our new home model gfw450ssm1ww / Gfd45essm0ww are terrible quality. Very flimsy construction and both units are very noisy while running. Very disappointed in GE.

Don’t buy this washer. Very disappointed with GE!!! Bought this washer and it started leaking in the second month of purchase. Because it was in warranty the technician fixed it. Started leaking again from the same place after a year and a half. This time with the warranty expired got a quote of more than $700!!! What a rip off by GE!!!

I purchased this washer in 2015 and it has broken down at least once a year since. GE's website says, "At GE appliances we make life better by designing and building the world's best appliances." Please don't believe it. I have one of the worst washers I have ever owned. It would almost be better to beat the clothes on a rock, at least the rock wouldn't break down every year. I have spent enough money at the Laundromat to purchase another washer. If I could have given it a negative number I would have. Totally Dissatisfied Customer in TN.

We bought the GE Front-Loading Washer (GFWR4805F0RR) in October 2014 and it has never worked properly. GE Reps confirmed faulty design chip issue (can't fix) and cycle pause issue (can't fix). The machine cannot balance during spin cycle and keeps resetting itself between 6 to 10 minutes at end of cycle, over and over. Towels come out soaking wet, not damp.

Because of space limitations and apartment wiring, I've now had two of the GE space-saving washer/dryer 27" unit in the past two years. I would never choose it again. The dryer of each has after a few months deposited black grease on collar points, the edges of sheets, and tie ribbons of sleepwear. Only dark clothing is safe to place in the dryer. With no sounding bell to alert when the drying cycle is over, clothes often sit forgotten until they require ironing. There is no soaking cycle. I could force one with the first machine by leaving the top open. But the one purchased 6 months ago just fills and then drains if the lid is up.

This washer will cost you a lot more money in the end. First of all it does not clean clothes properly and the rinse will not get rid of the soap. It leaves residue on dark colors. The spin cycle tangles clothes so bad that even after putting in the dryer they still have wrinkles. You will definitely be doing more ironing. Plus the water sucks out from the bottom and it is fraying a lot of the clothes. This is where you will be spending a lot more money buying clothes because it will ruin them. Also if you do blankets or even sheets it becomes unbalanced and will walk itself right out of your laundry room and literally right through the door. If I had to do over this would not be my washer. I have no idea how they can sell a product so poor in quality and ask good money for it. Stay away from it!!!

I've given myself almost six months to try and find things to appreciate with my brand new GE Deep Fill High Efficiency Turbo washing machine, model GTW460ASJ9WW. Unfortunately, I'm at a loss and regret the day I purchased it. Why do I hate it? Let me count the ways!

I don't know who changes everything to make things "better" but this washer, and most brands from what my friends have suggested, are worse than ever. This washer will NOT spin things such as bath rugs or a blanket or other things even on heavy duty or bulky setting. I have had to run several cycles to luck up on one that actually spins so that it isn't so heavy and dripping with water and so heavy that you can't even lift it out of the tub!!! It has happened over and over!!!

I purchased the washer and dryer new in 12/2018 and have had nothing but trouble. When you wash anything with sleeves and legs they get all knotted up every time I wash this type of clothing. Due to the low water levels they don't get clean, and have parts of the clothes dry. Have had a service calls and was told only can use "Super" wash level and "Bulky items" settings, so the other functions are useless. It gets off balance many times and moves across the floor. I have another service call scheduled to follow the guidelines of now on to the Consumer Relations Dept. This is the poorest engineered design. The dryer "balls" the clothes up in one lump, like a cocoon. I am fighting for a return of washer and dryer as they both are worthless to me when they don't work properly and I am stuck babysitting them when I use them, just to get through the cycles. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THESE. DO NOT BUY THEM!!!

Every time I wash the clothing they come out with lint. I try washing them again, with same problem. I have to clean them clothes with a lint roller, after the clothes dry. It is a waste of my time and effort. Plus I have to pay double the water and electricity.

I bought the original washer in 2008, GE has replaced it 5 times. The problem is it rusts. It reminds me of the Automobiles of the 50 and 60s. They used incorrect metal for the appliance and did not finish it with the correct process. Appliances should last 10/12 years according to consumer reports. These start to rust after 1 years and by 2/3 years they are unusable. Rust covering anything in the pedestal. If you buy one make sure you get the extended warranty from a reliable company.

I'm very unhappy with my GE profile washer... I set to heavy loads and it fills up with very little water. The clothes are very wrinkled. I won't buy another GE washer again. I can't afford to buy a new washer.

I have had this washer just over a year. Why you shouldn't buy this model: It takes forever to wash a load. It stops constantly to "check" the water level. It is loud. My home office is right beside the laundry room - has been for years. It is loud for every cycle. The clothes come out a tangled mess. Socks in sleeves and wadded all together. Everything needs ironed. The clothes come out with soap on them. (We put soap in 1st and add extra water.) I can't open the lid without it stopping the washer and having to restart it. It has a musty smell when not in use. I have run vinegar through the lines and empty loads, in 30+ years- I have never smelled stale water from the washer.

My advice to anyone... Do NOT ever, EVER buy a GE washer. It's garbage. I bought a GTW485AJS. It puts almost NO water in the basket, and the agitator cranks on nothing by damp clothing, literally SHREDDING the stuff because there is hardly any water. The "rinse" is just a spin while spraying water. All my older (classic) washers did that too, it's an efficient way to rinse the clothing. But this thing spins the clothes hard against the barrel, then sprays DOWN THE AGITATOR. So all the spray water missed the clothing, and goes down the drain. In other words it's actually WASTING THE WATER.

I bought this washing machine last year and have been miserable with this machine ever since! The worst feature of this machine is that the clothes come out terribly wrinkled! You will have to iron everything including sheets, towels, and clothing. The sheets are so wrinkled beyond belief! Also, the clothes do not get completely wet while being washed and some of the clothes are still partly dry from when you put them in. ALso, when washing towels or sheets, they shift to one side which causes the washer to "walk out" from the wall and you will have to push the washer back against the wall because it has come away from the wall by 2 feet. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK unless you LOVE to iron!

GTW485ASJ4WS Serial. RH16645G. I bought this product in 2017 at Lowe’s, I bought a two year extended warranty. I did not get this lemon back to Lowe’s in 30 days, my bad, thought extended warranty covered me there, it does not. Lowe's fail to warn me of this detail in VERY FINE PRINT. TRIED TO USE THIS MACHINE 6 times at our cabin, it failed miserably all six times. In essence, use the use the check system of what it is SUPPOSED TO DO, and then check off what it DID NOT DO, WHICH WAS ALL OF THE ABOVE. NOW, this is a HE Machine mind you.

Just bought GE Washer and dryer last week. The washer is terrible -- so noisy. It is in our laundry room and the noise is terrible.GE tech came out and said they all make this noise. If this was on display on the store it definitely would not sell. It sounds like something is loudly rubbing and will wear something. I ended up purchasing a service contract (which I rarely buy) from the repairman as I thought I would probably need it as this sound seems wearing. I've always been pleased with GE appliances and we have the profile micro, dishwasher and glass top stove but I will never buy GE again as I don't believe this noise is in all their washers as the technician said. Don't buy GE!

I wish I had kept the washer I had before this one. I bought the pair of GE Profile series washer and dryer. I have never had a problem with the dryer but the washing machine is a different story. It sounded like an airplane when it was running from day one. It does not have the regular type agitator. This one is suppose to save on water but NEVER puts enough water to wash the clothes. I always have to add water from a pitcher I keep in the stationary tub in the utility room.

Beware. I will make this short. Their appliances are defective and horrible 3 months and I’m out of my money. Any type of help from General Electric only "I'm sorry to hear that." 4 technicians came out and just tinkered with it...Today I received a call. Technician called out for the rest of the week... They will call me at a late date to TRY and fix. Save your money and any additional stress we don't need. I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE STILL IN BUSINESS. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO TYPE OF WARRANTY... I was better off buying a used washer and dryer at the swap meet.

I bought a GE washer and dryer Agee Montserrat apart. I did not buy extended warranty. I have not bought any extended warranties in the past. I have bought 2 other sets of washers and dryers in 40 yrs no warranties. Some small repairs after 5-6 years Whirlpool products. Had a product over 10 yrs. Approximately a few months after warranty on dryer timer went. Of course nothing would be. It is the most expensive part to replace. $250- not elect not heat up. Washer is great. I can’t believe the repairs will cost 1/2 the price of dryer.

We have a brand new GE washing machine that was installed September 2018. It is Feb 2019 and we are on our SECOND repair call THIS MONTH. 2/1/2018 they sent someone out to repair the machine because it dragged a blanket down into the drain area of the machine. I never knew this was possible but there we were. Of course CS does not care and I have to wait days to get someone out. (Side note, the dryer also had to be repaired at that time for faulty start button).

We purchased our new top load GE Washer just over 2 years ago. The drum appears to have detached and spun crazily within the machine during the spin cycle. Result is a totally wrecked machine, the entire frame is bent, and the top will not open without forced effort. The front and side of the machine were dented from the inside out. Calls to GE were completely unproductive. As soon as they found out there was not an "extended warranty", they didn't seem to care. Final result. We're shopping for a new washer - but this one, and all future purchases, will never again be GE. Buyer beware of this model.
