GE Washing Machines Reviews

Everytime we wash any kind of heavy items in our washer such as towels or jeans they always smell like mildew when they come out. We were told to put a cup of bleach in the wash and run it through a cycle but didn't help at all. I also had a shirt get ripped apart in the wash and leaving a little spots on our clothes from bleach staying in the washer. I think this is were the tiny holes in our clothes are coming from as well.

Bought the high end GE Profile washing machine. Twice in one year the motor failed. Once the pump failed, and then a printed circuit board failed. It showed on the schematic, but GE couldn't figure out what it was! They tried to convince me (I'm an appliance repair serviceman) that there was no such part! Finally when they admitted I was right they told me that part was NLA. The Profile wall mount microwave stuck on and nearly burned up! To anyone thinking of GE products I tell them DON'T BUY GE ANYTHING!

I purchased a GE front load washer and dryer in JUNE 07 and spent more money than I could really afford at the time. After reading about how energy efficient they are supposed to be since I have a family of 5 and do a lot of laundry, I went for it . WELL WHAT I MISTAKE I MADE! Mm towels have a HORRIBLE MILDEW SMELL; they are washed in hot water with plenty of detergent. I contacted GE about this problem; of course, there is no explanation. MY white laundry is also disgusting--never in my life have I HAD GRAY WHITES. THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS MACHINE . I AM VERY DISGUSTED, AND I WANT SOME ANSWERS TO THESE PROBLEMS.

I purchased a GE washer Model 6260F and Dryer 515EF1 in April 2006. To date, 11/24/2007, the washer has had 4 service calls (a leak, noises, a moldy smell and not working) and the dryer has had 8 service calls (overheat/running way too hot and leaving black marks on materials and some of the marks can only be removed with Krud Kutter but not all marks can be removed). GE replaced the dryer in 9/2007 with the same model and it has the same problems and I have returned it within 2 months. I will never ever purchase another GE product ever again. Way too many problems.

I bought a GE front load washer, and all of my clothes smell like mildew. There is a mold that is in the washer. I called GE and they said to put bleach in the washer and run it through a cycle. I do that often and my clothes still smell sour. I have had many top load washers and have never had this problem.

I purchased a GE frontloader on or about 10/19/07. Since then I have had a repair man out 4 times to replace the motherboard, waterpump, struts and seal. That did not work so they brought me a new one that is doing the same thing (will not spin out). I have asked for a refund, and they said it is now past my 30 days and they can not give me one. The problem is that it took them that long to deal with the problem, and now it is my fault it is past 30 days. Also, has anyone figured out what those storage drawers are for because they are too big to hold laundry detergent bottles they are to big. So I paid $200 extra to make it look good.

We purchased a GE clothes washer approximately 4 years ago. Only a couple of months before the warranty ran out, the transmission in it imploded. It was covered under the transmission warranty (but only the parts). After an almost $200 labor bill, we again had a working washer. Now the transmission has apparently gone kaput again. The dryer we purchased at the same time gave us fits, too. We replaced it about 2 years ago when we found that the GE dryer was eating clothes. Of course, it was out of warranty as well.

Five years ago, we renovated our kitchen and replaced our appliances with all GE appliances. This has been a disaster. The refrigerator's ice maker has been replaced 3 times, still does not work properly. The washer and dryer has had numerous problems that had to have a service man repair, the microwave oven had to be replaced completely. THEN Thursday, 11/15, while I am baking for Thanksgiving (expecting 8 family members from out of town at my house for the week) my bottom element to my stove with the convection oven burns out.

We purchased a model 6240 front load washer from Lowe's with an extended service plan.

From early September until now my GE front loader washer, purchased in Feb '07, is not working. Since May i have endured 6 or 7 service calls. They replaced everything but the front door and yesterday replaced the inverter that controls motor speeds. Last night i was astonished to watch this machine spin out of control and launch into the adjacent dryer. I think its time for a new machine. Ge service reps are clueless .They don't know what is the real problem so they throw parts at the problem. Does GE read our complaints?

We have only been using our GE front load washer for 5 months. Already had 2 serious issues and 1 fix able issue. First one the not-friendly Sears customer service person said we were using the wrong detergent. It would not get out spin cycle. We were using the right detergent. That was an hour conversation.

We own all GE aplliances and purchased them new in 2004. Our washing machine has not completed the second spin cycle in over a year. It seems it would cost almost as much to have the problem repaired as it would to purchase a new machine during a sale. It is crazy, spending all this money on appliances just for them to break down. I will never purchace another appliance from GE!

New washing machine spins clothes bone dry until they are permanently-wrinkled. About ten pairs of $50 dress slacks ruined. I'm going to have to buy a new washer and dryer and the GE stuff (included with my new Lennar home) will end up on the curb.

In April 2005, we purchased the GE front loading washer and dryer at a cost of around $1600. Within one month, we needed service on the dryer.

Four weeks, two thermostats, and just today the dryer literally melted my cloths. Thankfully I was home or else it would have caught my house on fire.

I purchased a GE front loading washer and dryer in November. I have had GE Service in my home four times. First the washer flooded my basement, second because the fabric softener did not dispense, third because it had a computer malfunction which caused it not to lock or function and the 4th time because the seal around the door was broken and again my basement was flooded.

My husband and I bought a brand new front load washer and dryer. They cost way more than we wanted to spend, but we figured they would pay for them selves with all the energy saving hype. Well, they both eat our clothes! No matter what you put in there, something gets stuck between the spinning part and the still part of each.

My wife and I chose a front loader washer machine and spent a lot more money than usually wanting the best on the market. Unfortuately we have had the worst experience with the GE WASHER model WBVH6240. We are now fixing to try our 3rd washer. We want to stay with the same washer so it will match the dryer. They all cant be lemons can they? The unit will go into pause all by itself. It takes a day to do one load. The first unit we had the door decided that it was not going to close anymore so my wife had to lean on the machine to get it to work. What a mess.

We purchased a GE Profile front loader washing machine in April 06. The electronics are bad on it. It won't cycle correctly, stops several times mid-cycle, won't spin, sometimes won't agitate, freezes mid-cycle with the door locked and won't open, and always has water in it even though the pump runs constantly to drain it. I have been 2.5 weeks without my washer. GE won't send anyone to repair it because the authorized repair persons are all too far away (more than 50 miles).

I purchased a GE washer (WSXH208) and GE dryer - approximately 3 1/2 years ago. I never fell in love with the washer, it always smells inside, sour smell. Several days ago it started making a very loud noise when spinning, which by the way usually is extremely quit. I called GE and they sent a repair man to look at the unit, I wasn't impressed with his ability. I think they're just parts changers. He gave me an estimate of $470.00 to repair the unit, which by the way the parts are covered under GE. So....that's just for the labor. I could buy a new unit for what they want to charge me for labor?? I called to speak to a supervisor, which didn't care what I had to say. She stated well that's the price the technician quotes the price. I then cancelled my appointment to repair the unit. I've owned many washers over the years and they have lasted for many, many years without problems. So 3 1/2 years scares me to ever purchase a GE unit again.

I purchased the GE Profile Harmony washer and dryer In July of 2005. The clothes from the washer would come out twisted and in a million wrinkles not matter what setting I put it on and the dryer just can't get the wrinkles out no matter what setting I put that on. Also the clothes would be so hot that they would burn my hands. My dryer first broke in February of 06 there was no heat at all. Called for repair it took a week for them to come he ordered all new elements and a new mother board, then it took another week for him to come back and he dryer worked fine(still not getting the wrinkles out)till it broke again on April 11, 2006. Well todasy is May 1 and he has replace the mother board 2 more times, the motor and all new wiring. It still does not work.

We purchased a new home in 2002 and at that time we asked the builder if we could have other appliances than GE, the answer was NO. We have a long history of not just bad luck with GE, but just REALLY THE VERY WORST PRODUCTS for the past 8 years and were hoping not to have to deal with GE anymore. Unfortunatelly, the GE Profile refrigerator has been serviced once and now it broke totally, the Washer in making terrible noises. The microway is not working properly either (the piece that holds the turning table melted while making pop corn)

In Aug. 2005, I bought the top of the line washer and dryer that cost 2100.00. A month after having it the dryer breaks down, it took a week to replace (the switch or something was wrong), three weeks later it happens again (another week to fix it, the guys comes and he reset it). A month or so later again, it needs a new motor (the guy gets it to work, but new parts are on the way). Now Second week of January again it breaks down. We just want our money back. I dont want to deal with it anymore, I bought new, supposed quality so I can wash my clothes and dry but that isn't happening. Two thousand dollars for a washer and dryer is a lot of money.

GE replaced the knobs for free. I didn't contact them about any of the other problems.

I purchased a GE washing machine in 5/98. In 12/2000 the transmission went. I contacted GE for the repair and I had to pay $50 some odd dollars for the service call. The transmission is under a 5 year warranty and was replaced. Now in 1/2002 the transmission has gone again after 12 1/2 months. I contacted GE at 800-432-2737 and was told I would have to pay another service call and the labor on this 5 year warranty item. I then contacted the GE consumer office at 800-386-1215 was told the same thing and asked to speak with a supervisor. I spoke with Vicky at ext 2697. She offered me a voucher of $75 towards the labor cost on this 5 year warranty item plus I would have to pay another service call of $54.00.

We have owned our GE Washing Machine Model #GWSR3090T6WW for about 3 years and we have constantly had problems with water leaking out the bottom of the machine. In the past 3 years we have had the transmission replaced twice and now the water problem is back. It looks like we are looking at have the transmission replaced for a third time.

I am writing to report a similar problem with a GE washing machine, model WKSR2100T2. After five years, the transmission is also giving out (like others have reported on your site). This is a considerable economic loss as the cost of repairing the transmissionon the washing machine is quite expenxive.

My husband and I decided to buy a new washer 6 years ago, the GE Super Jumbo machine. Since the first day that we been using it, it flooded my entire kitchen. I had a GE technician take a look at it and he told me that there was something stuck inside, but I never believed him because I still have the same problem until now. I spent almost $600.00 for that machine that is a complete piece of junk. I ended up replacing my kitchen floor.

The washing machine is three years old. I was having my house checked for fire ants when I noticed a puddle of water on the ground where my washing machine sits. I checked the machine and found it is leaking. I called GE amd the person I talked to said the parts are free, but it would cost me $35.00 for someone to come out and check the machine.

We bought our washing machine on June 3, 1996 and installed the same day -- General Electric Model # GJSR2080T2WW, it is a heavy duty model. Our household just had the transmission replaced on January 18, 2001, by a Camco approved technician. The part was under warranty, but the labour was $138.00 Canadian for about 45 minutes work by the technician.

GE cover up. Anyone who has bought a GE/HOTPOINT/RCA/ OR PROFILE WASHING MACHINE manufactured in the US between 1995 and 1997 is susceptible to failure. GE sent out an inside memo to its service techs describing this catastrophic transmision and bearing failure. They knew about this problem and did not inform the general public. Their scheme is to charge the general labor for parts they know are bad.

I have a washing machine manufactured in 1997. I am not sure of date of purchase, I lost receipt. Every time I use it, water pours out of the bottom of it and floods my kitchen. My repair man came and told me (without doing anything ) that it is the transmission. The part is $175 plus the service call and labor.
