GE Washing Machines Reviews

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.
