GE Washing Machines Reviews

RE:Model # PTWN6050MOWT, Serial # TT194436G. My attempt to navigate to this page was meant only to agree with what another customer. However, since I have to give my own review, suffice it to say that my husband, a Consumer Report guy, thought this washer would be a good one. I was enthused with the High Efficiency idea and all the washers bells and whistles.

Purchased new in October 2012 GTWN3000M2WS. Washer have had trouble since day one. Called, they won't fix it. It needs a new motor after 1 year and 2 weeks. When repairman took back off, found many used old parts inside so either it was sold as new or GE employees aren't caring about job. So, so upset I have been 6 mo without a washer because I can't put more money into fixing this one. This washer is junk, junk, junk! Will not spin our or agitate. Just sits and hums grrrrrr! My old washer was 27 years old. I raised 6 kids with them. Now it's just my husband and myself doing a couple loads a week and it falls apart. What happen to quality workmanship? GE, I'll never ever recommend or buy your products again! Customer service and quality is a thing your company past!!!

Thank goodness I got a 2 year extended warranty when purchasing the GE Profile Washer and Dryer in April 2012! In less than 2 years, a flimsy plastic knob and a timer have been replaced on the dryer. Initially, the washer snagged and destroyed some clothes and sheets. Service came and did something and told me not to cover the short center paddle. That means you have to wash smaller loads. The wash cycles are very long (an hour or more).

I purchased my GE Washer Serial # GTWN4250DOWS ON 9/12/12 and have problems with it since day one. The problems are: water only fills up halfway in the drum; clothes don't come clean; clothes are all tangled up with other clothes; clothes are covered with lint. Top half of drum is covered with detergent/softener because water level is too low. Loud banging noises when cycles change. Loud scraping sounds during agitation. Takes too long to wash a load of clothes, 1 hour is the average. I can only put 4 towels in to wash at a time because the water level is too low. Clothes on the top don't get wet, never mind washed.

Constantly off balance. Wash size does not matter. Water level does not matter. From what I have read, this seems to be a common problem and GE will do nothing. Nice. Not even paid for yet and it might as well go to the curb.

I have a top load washer and the shaft broke and leaks water and messed up my whole laundry room. Sears came out and said it would be like 400 to fix it because the warranty ran out. Never again will I buy from Sears and never a GE. I originally paid 500 and would expect it to last more than 3 years.

Yes we bought a GE washer from Lowe's model #GLWN2800DIWS in Oct of 2013. This washer keeps going out of balance. We all know washers get out of balance now and then, but this machine does it on a regular basis. GE's told us that you can't wash small loads in their washers. REALLY I will never buy a GE product again or buy anything from Lowe's either. They were no help in this matter either. Has anyone ever heard of such a ridiculous statement as to tell you that the fix on your washing machine is to tell you can't wash small loads. The machine states right on it small, medium, large, xlarge on. How stupid does GE think we are?

My husband replaced the old top loader washer with one that he did not realize was an HE model. We end up adding extra water every time, there is not enough water to get the clothes clean. The dark clothes usually end up with detergent spots since there is no true rinse cycle.

Seems like a lot of consumers are having the same problem with this washer. The bolts that hold the nut in place all break off and cause it to smoke. I am glad I was home before the house caught on fire but the whole basement smells like smoke.

6 MO old GE Washer Model GLWN2800D1WS serial # LA111944G - This is the replacement washer the local retailer gave me to replace the 1st one when the paddle broke and tore up a load of laundry. The 1st was just a couple weeks old. This one at first was off balance repeatedly jumping around wildly on the floor so I figured it had a touch balance on spin cycle and was very careful to make loads even in the barrel (The paddle design looks bad to me as clothes can get caught by the bottom of the paddle and bunch up. I have 180 IQ and not being the average housewife I investigate things when they are dysfunctionate). But yesterday I put a load in, turned it on and left the house. Four hours later my husband came home and found the washer overflowing (rinse cycle) and both floors of our home flooded.

We have a Hydrowave CTWN425OD1WS top loader. Don't like it. No timer, has a super load setting but only fills up half way - so I am adding water - always a fun thing to do when it is a new washer. Our Duet broke and swore would never do another side loader machine due to the washer not using enough water. I did not know they now do this with top loaders. Obviously a woman never scrutinized or tested this machine before they put it out to unsuspecting consumers. Don't buy it. Not sure what to buy. It's a shame as GE used to be a good brand. The issues are with engineering and design. It just doesn't do the job!

GE sure does have good engineers to design their parts to break just after they go out of warranty! My washer is only 1.5 years old and the transmission shaft for the agitator broke. I researched it and found this is very common... After a week of calling and dealing with the claims people and telling them what's wrong and asking what they can do for me like at least goodwill warranting the part, I've gotten nowhere. You would think a big company like GE would care about making good products and standing behind them but they are not! I will never buy another GE product again!! Regretfully I bought all top of the line (or so I thought) GE appliances at this same time when I bought my house. I was hoping to pay a little more up front and not have to worry about them being a struggling new couple, but now I'm not confident in any of them. DO NOT BUY GE APPLIANCES!

I bought the Profile series washer and dryer. I wasn't satisfied with the performance on how the washer cleaned. I had an old Maytag and that was a work horse but it didn't look pretty so I replaced it. I called GE after a few weeks using the washer that it did a poor job cleaning my clothes. The technician came and said everything was normal. I wish they just gave me a different washer. Right after the extended warranty was over, the washer kept flooding. Call GE and paid $100 to let a technician do a diagnostic. He didn't even do anything but turn it on and told me it's a transmission problem which will cost $500!!! As much as buying a new washer. GE needs to do a better job with their products. I got a 100-dollar voucher to use on another GE but I would never buy them again and anyone who wants to save money... then don't buy their stuff!

I am so angry with GE and their repair practices. I bought a GE washing machine April 30, 2013. A couple of weeks before Thanksgivings, it broke. I contacted the department store I bought it and they gave me the number to GE to schedule a repair appointment. It was two weeks before I could get an appointment and then the serviceman came out and had to order parts. He stated that because of the holidays the earliest he could come back out was December 31, 2013. On December 31, 2013, I received a telephone call stating that the serviceman could not come out and I would have to reschedule. It has been downhill since then. It is now January 2, 2013, and I am still being given the runaround and my washing machine is still not repaired. I have contacted GE customer relations who states this is the highest that I can talk to and the only thing she can do is reschedule a repair date. This is crazy and I have now been without a washing machine for about 6 weeks with still no appointment. Whatever you do, do not buy this appliance!!

I am filing a complaint for the service that I have received from GE about getting my washing machine fixed. I purchased a new GE washer from Lowes last May 2012. At the end of November 2013 the agitator came loose from the washer. I called GE the week of November the 25th I was scheduled for service on Wednesday November 4th. A technician came to my house and walked right in and knew what was wrong. He said that it was the transmission. He left me the number to Consumer Relations and told me to call them and see if my parts and labor would still be covered under warranty and he would go back and get the parts ordered.

I am so angry with the GE company! I bought this GE Hydrowave Washer from a Sears Outlet store and it can't be returned. I'm very upset that this washer has a "super" water level setting but doesn't fill to the level of a normal washer. I understand that it is a water saver but the "super" setting is very misleading. It's tearing holes in my towels and now one pair of cargo pants has a small hole in them. I will never buy GE again! Never! Every load has to be a small one!

Leg and Platform assembly damaged by counterweight. Washer bought at Home Depot October 2012 (14 months old), 1 year parts and labor warranty. The leg and platform assembly has two threaded bolt holes in it, a metal bracket that holds the counterweight in place is fastened by two .25" dia. bolts to these holes. Problem is that the leg and platform assembly metal is not thick enough to allow enough threads to support the counterweight. The bolts pull through the threads allowing the counterweight to fly around inside the washer damaging other parts of the washer and its wiring. To fix just the counterweight problem, you would need to replace the leg and platform assembly. The part costs $ 246.00 + the labor to install this part.

No one has been happy since you started piece assembling your products. Eddison while a fascist would be turning over in his grave if he knew what you've done to his company.

I purchase a GE hot point at local Lowe's store in my city. Within less than 4 months it stopped washing, only filling the tub with water and draining. I use this washer only for myself. There is no excuse for such a horrible washer. Should be recalled and pulled off the selling floor. Lowe's has been helpful in, but this model should not be sold in their store.

I just purchased and had delivered/installed a GE Washer GTAP1800D0WN. I have never owned a GE product - all my washers and dryers have been Inglis Liberator and have lasted 20-25 year - I have only purchased 2 sets in my whole life and I purchased a set for my mother about 5-6 years ago. Needless to say, extremely happy with them but finally the Inglis washer went about 2 weeks ago - the gas dryer still was chugging along but I waved good-bye to it as well. Went to do my first load of wash in the new GE this morning - delicates, small load, gentle agitation - it started to give some big bangs and then sounded like it was washing gravel, for a while, and then stopped so I never paid it too much mind.

I bought a GE machine and it flooded my room on the first try. I did not want it repaired; instead I switched it for another one. The second machine started vibrating a few months later. I assumed it was out of balance due to the clothes. But no matter how they were adjusted it continued. I finally called a repairman. He stated the machines were bad and made in Mexico for cheap and then sold them for a huge profit. He recommended not to bother fixing it. I then called GE and told them what I had been told. One escalation person said she would send a GE repairman and if it couldn't be fixed she could authorized $250 towards the purchase of a new one. The repairman said he could fix it for $190, then the price came down to $140 after the escalation person talked to him. He strongly suggested that GE should pay for the entire repair since the machine was so new. When I told this to the GE escalation person she refused to even considered it. This machine is used once every two weeks at most. There is no reason for it to have broken so soon. It is barely one year old. GE knows it is producing inferior products and is failing the consumers. All I want is for it to be made right.

On August 23, 2013, we purchased a Unitized washer and dryer on the Home Depot website. The unit was delivered and installed, by Home Depot people, on August 25, 2013. After only a few uses, the dryer no longer worked. A service person, from GE, came to look at the unit and advised that something was wrong with the vent, in the condo, which when it reached a certain temperature, caused the dryer to be damaged and unusable. They said that the damaged parts, in the dryer could be replaced but that the same thing would happen again, when the dryer was used.

I have purchased two front loading washers from GE over the past 2-3 years. After 2 years, one stopped working, would stop mid-cycle. Repairman said the motherboard was gone, better to buy a new one, very costly to replace. This month my second one broke, same problem as the first. This cannot be a coincidence that both washers have the same problem. Now I am out $2000. We got very little satisfaction at GE. An appliance person said the HE washers that are push button (computer) have this problem and are extremely expensive to repair. I will only buy the manual turn ones from now on. Never a GE!!!

I had my GE front load for less than two years. Live alone, do laundry about once a week or less. This thing self destructed. A Concrete brick on top of the drum sheared off the "plastic" pillions, fell down behind the drum, ate the pulley and the belt and was beyond repair... NEVER buy one of these pieces of junk without a warranty. I'm having mine replaced by the warranty company and will never buy GE again in any way shape or form... The repairman said that he was working six days a week, trying to keep up with orders... This is indicative of the trash being sold to the American consumer. Welcome to "New China". Couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that in the computer age, we are using bricks as counter balances... Primitive.

This GE Profile Washer PTWN8050M0WW was purchased as part of a pair on Jan. 19, 2012 for $2096.90. It was the best top load model at the time sold at Lowe's. It was delivered on Jan. 23, 2012. On Oct. 3, 2013, the Infuser Assembly (the thing at the bottom of the tub that moves the clothes around) broke free. I called GE to inquire if this was under warranty. They could not tell me. They said I had to schedule a repair visit at the cost of roughly $100 to determine if it was a warranty item. I declined to schedule a visit at that time. I did some disassembly to determine what part had broke. The stud on the top of the Mechanical Housing Assembly had sheared off. The Infuser bolt attaches to this stud. I called GE back with this information again to inquire about warranty status.

I've had this GE washer model whdvh660hww for 5 years, never spun right, always off balance. Had to run to hold it in place every time I did a load of laundry. It's been this way since day 1. I thought it was me not loading it right, too little or too much of a load. Smelled burning rubber last week, called service man in. Said I need a new rubber sleeve. We ordered a new one. Guy came back to fix it. He took washer apart and noticed the drum was bent due to some kind of shaft was broken (back of drum has a Y, one of those lines in the Y broke). Called me the next day with price to fix it - about died! Drum itself would be $600.00! Shaft $200.00, service call to fix $250.00! I am buying new but will never ever buy GE!! GE can Suck on a......!

A washer/dryer from GE was delivered to my home September 29, 2013 and the washer made a lot of noise and also shook. I called GE Monday, and they said they would send someone over to look at it. On October 1, 2013, somebody from GE came out to look at it. (Thank God this was an honest employee.) He said that it must have been dropped, and the damage is not fixable. October 2, I spoke with somebody from consumer relations and she told me to look online and find something else. She gave me two model numbers that were not compatible with my home (I need electric and she showed me gas products). Finally, after many hours on the phone, I spoke with a GE rep and she said they will refund me my full money back.

I had to purchase two washers from GE within the past two years. I purchased a top loader GE machine at the end of 2010. In June of 2011 I had to have the machine replaced because it kept leaving residue on my clothing. I had to make up the difference in the purchase of the new machine which was a front loader, suggested by the salesman stating the this was the Cadillac of washers. The motor on my front loader GE model #GFWN1100L1WW, serial #FV2067197 died just after the warranty expired in August of 2013, only after I had to have the machine repaired when it stopped spinning less than a year after purchase.

Purchased new GE 3.9 top loader last year at Lowes and have not liked from day one. The main problem is the spin cycle sounds like combat boots banging around inside. We convinced ourselves it was a new self-balancing mechanism and have continued to rearrange the load manually ever since. Now the sound is unbearable. After research it seems the concrete counterweight is probably broken. I moved the appliance from the wall and indeed found concrete dust on floor. Other parts might be affected by the banging as well. Machine now out of warranty. Will not buy another GE product.

I want to second this complaint. I bought the GE washer on 05/17/12 and the inner plate/agitator broke already (just like the pics). It is an expensive washer and even more expensive to fix with extremely poor design/products. After buying GE washer/dryer/dishwasher, I will certainly stay away from GE products.

My washer failed due to a broken drum spider support. The engineers at GE have designed the washer to have a pot metal support for the drum. Having two different metals immersed in acid water causes the weaker metal to decay, to be eaten away by the electrolysis that happens while washing clothes. The unit is doomed from the day you first use it and the frequency of use hastens the failure.

I have the GE Hydro Wave Quiet agitator washer system. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I bought it in May of 2013. This is September. I thought I was not using the right settings for the loads but after beating myself up I know now the washer will not wash a nice size load of laundry like my old washer. It is a large washer top loader but in order to have a nice amount of water to agitate I have to split a load of laundry in half and wash two loads where before I could wash 5 pair of jeans and a couple t-shirts.

Purchased this unit in 2006. Other than a sometimes irrational spin cycle and front door seal (boot) replacement, there have been no major problems - till now. Seems that the main bearing is shot; this happened without warning. During the spin cycle, the machine developed a loud banging noise and began vibrating very strongly. I unplugged it immediately.

I bought my washer and dryer from Midway Appliances. I started having problem not long after buying. The washer was doing a lot of shaking real bad. Midway put another drum on the washer that did not help. So I call them out 3 more times. They said I was setting the washer on the wrong setting. Then I found out last week that it was on recall and GE came out and change the speed setting and will not do anything about the shaking of the washer. The washer was on recall shortly after I bought it. I want a new washer.

We purchased a GE® 4.1 IEC Cu. Ft. Colossal Capacity High-Efficiency Washer almost 2 years ago. Looked great - reviews (in hindsight) absolutely stunningly awful. RUN, DON'T WALK from this huge pile of junk metal. Hose/Repair after such a short time cost more than a new washer. GE, you should be ashamed of yourself for selling such a vile piece of machinery.

My experience with GE and Washing Machine model GTWN4250D0WS and when I called GE was the same as another user. I purchased a Washing Machine from Menards in August 2012. I also used the machine once a week. It started to make a loud scraping sound and the basket had dropped down and was scraping the bottom. The repairman came out June 2013 and replaced the shocks. It is now September 9th and the machine is doing the same thing. I called GE. When I contacted GE, I spoke with Lorena. She then stated that since my warranty expired August 1st, that they would give me 50% off on the part and $50 off on the labor. I only wanted them to send the repairman back out to fix what was not repaired the first time. She said it would cost me $84.95 just to come look at it again. She said that they are going to take 50% off the part and service. Why not just send the repairman back out and honor their guarantee on parts.

We have a GE Front Load Washer that we purchased in 2006, and seven years later, the bearings are completely shot. The parts are under warranty, but by the time we pay a repair guy to replace the bearings, and whatever else he might suggest, then we can just buy another machine. The odd thing is that we stayed in a beach rental house this past July (2013) which has an older ('80s model) top load washer in it, and it washed the clothes just fine!! As far as we know, that ole GE washer is still getting up! My point is that I totally expected an $800 machine to last more than 7 years!!!

I bought my washer in April 2013. By July, I had started having problems with it. Boy do I wish I had checked the reviews on it. I checked for troubleshooting on it and found on GE's website that they even have instructions on how to (reset) it. OK, thinking that it may be an on time thing, I reset it. Wrong. I now have to reset it about every other time I use it. Yes, I put in a complaint on it with GE. They immediately put in a service ticket on it and sent a serviceman out on it. After checking the machine, he said it has a faulty board on it and he will have to order it. Meanwhile, I'm still resetting this piece of garbage. GE should have to replace this thing instead of sending out service people to service it until its ONE year warranty runs out.

Washer model WHRE5550K2WW - I contacted GE about the malfunctioning machine. My wife had been using it for three years, never realizing that the machine was not washing or rinsing the clothes. After watching the machine cycle through its wash and rinse cycles several times, and having to manually agitate the clothes... I called the GE help line. I spoke with a nice male volunteer who agreed that it was a complete engineering failure.

We have purchased almost everything in our kitchen from GE. It used to be a very good product, but as we had the service people down to figure out why our washer was dead in the road, we were told after I tried to fix it on my own paying 135.00 dollars, trying to save myself some money, for a new computer board, which is non-returnable, a friend told me he thought that’s what it was, the one on the top side behind the knobs, my bad there. The tech said they used to put inline fuses in them to protect the motor but they stopped doing that, so we were told the motor was burned up, at a cost of almost 400.00 dollars, excluding labor.

This GE front load washer is a disaster! Unfortunately we have limited space therefore front loader is needed. Any recommendations please let everyone know.

Worst appliance purchase I've ever made! First of all, the washer was delivered 2 days late because their truck delivering to Home Depot broke down. Bad omen! The washer did 4 loads before it broke down and wouldn't spin water out. Repair tech came and it worked fine. He basically told me I was crazy because he couldn't find anything. 2 weeks later, not only wouldn't it spin water out - it wouldn't stop running water IN. So with 2 inches of water over the floor - it was time to get another repair tech out here. The washer worked fine when he was here as well. . . which to me made it obvious there was something wrong with the timer which would not move forward at intermittent times.

I purchased my GE front loader in April 2009. I am starting to know the repairman by name, since he has been out to my house 5 times to repair my gasket. It has cost $700 to repair my laundry room floor from the several times my washer has flooded my room. I have called GE to see if they have a "lemon" replacement plan. They said they did, but a "replacement" would cost me a discounted price of $750 ($100 more than the "lemon" one). If I have to pay $750 for a new washer, it will not have GE on the front!!!!

Lord I am just so sad, disappointed, and angry at the money spent on GE washer & dryer 4/22/08. My extended warranty expired 4/22/13. I should have sold them while they were working for $100.00. Serviced both units (2 on dryer, 4 on washer). Here I am again - door seal rubber gasket leaking. Part replaced 12/12. 90 day warranty per place of purchase and repairs. SERIOUSLY? They offered me discount today on part & service: $329.00. Whatever!! Suggest report issues at RipOffReport.com. Before these I had Maytag Neptune (3 yrs). Just as bad. Never front loader again. I'm thinking of going to used appliance store buying rebuilt pre 2000 speed queen? Any ideas on that idea? Why do we all get sold junk or so much money? Help. Need new washer/dryer. Any good units available. Greatly appreciate your advice.

I am having my 5th repair in 10 months done on this machine. Visit # 3 was valued at $197.02, and parts worth $739.79 (agitator shaft, motor, tub bearings) were ordered at that time. They will be installed on 8/13/13. I am hoping this is really the cure. GE agrees that the repairs weren't done correctly the first 2 times, and has given me a Letter of Commitment--extending my warranty for 1 more year. Lowe's has offered to take it in and give me partial credit towards a new machine too. The next washer I buy will not be GE.

Today, my GE Washer started billowing out smoke from the drum on the final cycle. It was stinking like burnt rubber. It really scared me and I automatically unplugged it. I would have expected a dryer to catch on fire, not a washer. I am extremely disappointed and upset about this happening. I see where many GE Washers have been recalled for the same problem. I sure hope GE is going to do something about this washer!!

My GE washing machine (Washer Model #: GTWN7450D0WW Serial #: zz153076g) of 10 years started leaking. I came from a family of GE appliances and previously had great experiences myself, so I did not hesitate to replace my washer with another GE unit. This washer has been leaking out of all sides and soaking my floor during a hot cycle since I purchased it. I purchased it through a Home Warranty, so I couldn't simply just return it in the first 30 days. After much arguing and escalating, the unit was replaced within the first 30 days of purchase.

I purchased a Washing Machine from GE. I use it maybe once a week. Sometime less. It now makes a terrible grinding noise and after researching it I found that they put out a Service Bulletin for the issue and my machine is listed as the model number that has the "sagging apron" issue. This means that it wasn't built correctly to support the wash load and so the motor scrapes on the bottom metal. It is very loud. All the various appliance sites know about the issue and I have a copy of the Service Bulletin.

A few years ago, my Whirlpool top loader gave up and I bought a large capacity GE top loader. This machine has many problems from day one. My son's comment when he heard it running was, "What's that?" I tell him it is my new washer - that is how it sounds. Extremely noisy and makes all sorts of odd sounds. Okay? But the real kicker is that for its rating of large capacity - it's nonsense, you can't put much in it. Why? Because its water setting is very low. I do not overload machines or do other such harmful things, but this is a top-loader that barely fills up. I showed my son that. His comment was that it doesn't clean - it only moves the dirt around. Worst piece of garbage ever. Water conservation might work for a front loader. At least the water gets tossed around. I can't get king bed white sheets to come out bright and clean, bleach, Oxiclean, etc. I hate this machine, but have to stick with it since as they say, I am not made of money. It is a piece of garbage, noisy and does not do the job. I am being fair, I have tried everything. Tonight to wash a comforter I manually added extra water, we'll see if that helps.

We are seniors and thought this would be our last appliance purchases. In Jan. of 2008 we moved into our house and bought all new appliances. We purchased our last GE washer from Home Depot on Feb.16, 2011. It is already going out. Of course the warranty is only good for one year. That's as long as they expect it to last. It is $300.00 to repair the washer. If the past 5 years the stove went bad. Home Depot was kind enough to replace it. Not GE. The dishwasher is down to one wash cycle and this is the second washer in 5 years. We will never buy another GE appliance.

I bought a GE Washer and Dryer in October of 2008. In January of 2012 a tech came out to fix my washer. They ended up replacing everything on the inside of my washer on the exception of the shell and the controls that you switch to change load size, water temp, extra. Then in May of 2013 the washer quit agitating and spin cycle quit working. I had a GE tech come out to fix the washer. They fixed a switch. Then again the spin cycle had quit working again. I had another GE tech come out and fix the washer and it was the same switch that went out before. The tech told me that it was a bad switch. Then in June the washer's spin cycle quit working again. Another GE Tech came out and fix the same switch and I was told that it was a bad switch.

I also am getting grease stains on items. This happens in the washer (GE Profile Harmony) and I've learned to check items as them come out before I put them in the dryer. I think lightweight items get drawn into the cylinder holes during the spin cycle resulting in grease being transferred to the clothing. I have had to start using a bag designed for delicates for all lightweight clothing. I've received no good answer from GE on a fix for this. Mine model is a top load. I always keep it clean, so the blame isn't on the homeowner. GE's own site says I'm a sloppy cooker, haha. Crazy. Never buying GE again.

I've owned GE Front Loading Washer, model WCVH6800J a little over 4 years and I can honestly say it is the worst appliance I have ever owned. Just a few months after I purchased it, it began dancing around the laundry room during the spin cycle and making loud disturbing noises. I don't have a large family or big loads and do only about 2 - 3 medium loads a week, so it's not like the machine is being overused or overloaded, but it doesn't do even an acceptable job of washing and spinning. Sometimes the clothes get spun and are ready to put in the matching dryer (also a huge disappointment) but about 1/2 of the time I have to rearrange the clothes during the spin cycle or add additional spin time to the load before putting it in the dryer. This adds to the cleaning time and energy use and demands that I babysit the darn thing throughout the long wash cycle.

I have a GE washing machine, model GTWN4250D0WS. It was bought from Lowe's in September 2012. My first repair call was handled in January 2013. My second repair call (for the same problem) was on 7/26/13. Both times, I was told the problem was fixed. It wasn't. My third repair call will be 8/5/13. I don't have much faith that this will be fixed. This has all been handled via the 12-month manufacturer's warranty. I paid $539 for this machine, and GE has paid approximately $293 to fix it.

GE top Load washing machine model # CTWN4250DOWS - About 2 months after I got my washing machine it started acting strange. When agitating or spinning it sounded like the drum was loose. I would repeatedly have to readjust the clothes and stay near the washing machine to stop it when it did this. It continued to get worse. I would continually have to level the machine. It would walk across the floor and bang back and forth.

GE No Spin Unless Trick. I have a GE GTWN3000M0WS washer. Man, this might get you. Okay, the washer will not spin. I bypassed the lid switch with a jumper wire (magnet type), water pump works, fills water okay. I can only make it spin when I do the lid trick, unplug then plug in. Open lid 11 times within 30 seconds and no help from GE.

Got GE front loading high efficiency washer and dryer in 2008 for $2300.00. WASHER is a LEMON. Had it looked at several times. Filed a complaint. GE said there is nothing they can do cause my warranty ran out. Never run right. Do not waste your money on one of these. Please read all the complaints filed against these washers in GE website complaints before you buy one. Piece of CRAP. I am out of a washer and a lot of money... There should be recall on these...

My fiance and I got a GE Washing Machine less than a year ago. It does not fill enough water to cover the clothes when washing. It does not spin the dirty water out of the clothes before it rinses. It does not agitate at all if you do not select the "power rinse option"; Keyword: OPTION. When this is selected, it will add a maximum of 11 gallons of water into our 22-gallon washer. And get this: it only agitates for 5-7 seconds, then the clothes just sit there. Tell me how clothes are supposed to get clean when there is not enough water to cover them? Or when they rinse, they sit in dirty water? Or when the washer doesn't agitate longer than 5-7 seconds, and not at all if it's not on power rinse?

Less than a year ago we bought a GE washer and as time went by, we noticed a rust-like stain on our clothes. After investigating, we saw that it wasn't our water but the tub was leaking some kind of fluid. We called to get it serviced and month after month we had service men come and do different things to service the machine. They finally determined that it was a defective machine and ordered us a new one. After one month the new machine started to have the same problem. A new service man was sent and he said that it just needed a new tub. When the new tub came, a different tech came and didn't even bother to change it out. He told us that it wouldn't help, that there is some kind of leak in one of the seals of the machine and that we needed to contact GE to resolve the problem.

GE WCVH Front Load Washer NEEDS TO BE RECALLED as a Fire Hazard! It filled our house with smoke. Then we looked online and found MANY others complaining of the same problem - even videos posted! We contacted GE but they are only offering a 30% discount off another model. Yes, they recalled 180,000 WBVH washers for fire hazard and that model looks EXACTLY like ours!

First of all, I want you to know that I have been a faithful GE appliance owner for at least 40 years. A couple of years ago, maybe three, I needed to replace my washer and dryer. I went to Lowe's and they were having a sale. I wanted a large washer as I have horses and needed a washer large enough to wash horse blankets (equivalent to at least a queen bedspread). I was assured by the saleslady that this would be the best bet. This washer is the biggest piece of junk that I've ever used. Within a week, I was calling GE with complaints. I just kept getting the runaround and was offered a chance to exchange it for one with an agitator for an extra $300 or so. So I've continued to struggle with the one I have.

On June 9, 2013, clothes were put in the washer on full load. And less than an hour, I returned to find at least 2 inches of water standing on the floor in the laundry room. My GE Washing Machine Model # GLWN2800DOWS is not a year old. I requested a voucher to get a new machine but GE did not agree. The only thing GE did was have a service company replace two parts on the machine. I cannot express the stress and burden this has been for both of us, especially me because of my health issues. Our losses are above what our homeowners will pay because of deductible.

GE Profile Washer PTAN945 - After the washer was just over a year old, the transmission failed. The retailer and GE were both very helpful and the machine was repaired on warranty as a courtesy. The retailer offered to provide a washer at the store for our use while the machine was being repaired. Five months later the transmission went again and this time water leaked all over our floor. I no longer consider GE appliances reliable and will replace the washer with another brand, rather than having to pay to have it repaired. The problem with transmissions seems to be universal by all the incidents posted on this site. I don't want to be continually cleaning up water leaks and repairing my washer.

Have you ever bought an appliance from hell? We did, and wished we hadn't. We purchased a GE infused low washing machine in order to conserve water, and save money. What we got was the worst appliance we have ever had in our 56 years on this earth. It came with a one year factory warranty. We never buy extended warranties on the belief that if you buy a good named product, you don't need it. Boy, we were ever so wrong. The first experience we had with this hunk of junk was about two weeks of ownership. We noticed our clothes weren't getting clean and had a faint musty odor. We called Home Depot, who told us to call GE about the problem. After talking with GE, we learned that dirty and smelly clothes are not part of the warranty, and there was nothing we could do about it. They suggested we call a plumber to see if that was the issue. We did, and it wasn't. After all, we lived in this house for twenty years and never had the problem with the 15 year old Kenmore that we replaced with this machine. We just had to grin and bear it.

GE GTWN495OLWS Infuser Top Load Washer - This has been the worst washer I have ever owned. Besides making a squeaking sound, it leaves an oil type stain on many of my clothes (unfortunately, it has been on my husband's dress shirts and polo shirts). I thought it was the detergent I was using so I tried different types. Then I thought it was the water softener. I tried many different combinations. I finally googled it out of frustration with many shirts that are ruined. It is the darn machine... leaking transmission fluid. Good thing, I bought a 5-year warranty. I want them to just come take the stupid thing away. It can't be repaired. I read once it starts leaking fluid, it will always leak. The machine is no good!

HotPoint Washer HSWP1000M2WW - Stay away from this washing machine! As a mother of two young children, I feel I have a pretty average amount of laundry to do each week. However, we have been battling with this washer for a whole year. Tomorrow, we are having the repair technician come for the fourth time to replace the agitator. This will be the fourth agitator that has broken in a year and we also had to replace the motor which was supposed to correct the overly powerful torque on the agitator. The new motor did not correct the problem.

GTWN4250D0WS Clothes Washer - This is the worst washer I ever purchased. Same as some previous reviewers, I have to add buckets of water to the machine with any size load. The clothes just seem to rip back and forth, and with some loads, the top level of clothes do not even get wet; hence, the adding of water. When water is added, the clothes roll over nicely and get evenly clean.

GE Front Loader Washing Machine - This machine has been nothing but trouble since the day it was delivered. Not enough water to clean clothes. The compartment where the soaps get plugged and runs down the outside of the bottom of washer. Maybe the door seal is gone. Who knows what it looks like under the washer since it leaks soaps. Have gotten tears in clothing after being caught somewhere around the drum. The bleach and fabric dispensers, when filling, runs down the outside of drum sometimes. That area is now rusted. Sometimes all the bleach does not get out of the tunnel from dispenser and you get spots on your clothes when doing darks. If I thought I could get somewhere with this, I would have checked the attorney box below. Buying a Speed Queen top loader! This machine belongs on the front lawn for disposal.

I purchased a GE Model Number GTWN4250M1WS top-loading clothes washer in September 2011. Whenever you wash clothes, it never puts enough water in the drum to cover the clothes. Even on the super-size load with 10 t-shirts in the drum, the water never even covers the shirts. I called GE Customer Service numerous times about this problem, and they stated that it was a water-saver model and that's just the way it is. In order to be able to wash clothes, we always have to carry buckets of water from the kitchen sink to put enough water in the drum to cover the clothes.

GE High Efficiency Washing Machine - This machine is useless and not efficient at all. I have to wash clothes on Heavy or Extra Heavy with an extra Rinse and sometimes have to prewash to get things even moderately clean. It takes close to 2 hours to clean one load. I have had this for a little over a year and have just purchased a new "old fashioned" machine because my family and I are tired of dirty clothes. I am putting this machine out by the garbage.

We purchased brand new washer and dryer set at Lowe's back in Sept. 2009 - at the time, we thought it was a good idea to get a high efficient, energy saver machine. We were pleasantly surprised upon our first wash as to how quiet the machine was (we thought it was not working; how quiet it was)... In any case, we didn't have any issues with it until a couple of weeks ago when we heard loud banging during the spin dry cycle which sounded like someone was throwing rocks in our top load washer. We thought our clothes made it out of balance so I balanced it - no go. I took the clothes out and continued the wash. It still was causing loud banging. The stainless steel drum sits off center. DAMN! There are only the two of us - my wife and I so we only wash once a week. It's not like we abuse the machine; it still looks brand new! What a piece of crap...

Profile Model: PTWN8050M0WW: Sheila **, my wife and I, Steven **, are very dissatisfied with the product we bought from GE Appliance. First, we are both in law enforcement. Wanted to buy an American product and keep our hard earned dollars in the American economy, only to be upset and find after we made the purchase that the washer was manufactured in China. When we decided to purchase a washing machine, we decided to by a high end product such as the GE Profile for longevity and durability. Again, upset and completely dissatisfied with the GE Profile machine.

I bought a GE washing machine about 2 or 3 years ago from Lowe’s. It is a top loader machine. Every time I used the machine, my clothes would come out with a ton of black lint. One time when I put a beige blanket it the machine, I had to use a lint brush to try to get all the lint off of the blanket. However, it didn't work. GE serviceman came to my house twice and they could not fix the problem. One of GE customer service representative told me that GE forgot to put a lint collector in the washing machine. GE also sent me a coupon for $150.00, but I had to use it on another GE product. I didn't use it because I never plan to buy their product anymore. GE told me that they would not replace the washer machine because they have repairmen. But the problem was unfixable. I just got beat out of my money. The machine series number is AT164984G and the MOD# is WPRE615OK2WT.

If you buy a GE Profile washer or dryer, then make sure you buy the extended warranty for it as you will need it! I have had nothing but trouble from this washer, and now the dryer, since the day I owned it. I have had it repaired 3 times in 3 years. Basically the same issue - just won't spin right. This washer is advertised as a high efficiency washer and that you will use less water. Well, it might use less water but it takes three times the electricity as a top load one would. If you want your clothes rolled into a ball, then this is the washer for you! If you want to have to take your clothes out and hand wring them out so it can spin, then this washer is for you! If you want to have it serviced once or twice a year, then this washer is for you! If you want to take 2 hours to wash a load of blankets, then this washer is for you!

GE Washer Model # GTWW5550D0WW - We have owned this washer since late December 2012. In all this time, the washer has not performed as we had expected. It is a High Efficiency (HE) model, thus uses very little water and has only a small agitator action. The issue we have is that every batch of clothes small, medium, or large - colored, whites, towels, etc., comes out covered with lint. It doesn't seem to matter what the conditions of the wash, cycle, time, etc. are - there is lint on the clothes that does not come off when dried! We have read and re-read the instruction manual and troubleshooting tips provided for any hint at what we need to do differently - to no avail. From reviews I've read, GE seems to have a problem with multiple HE models that should warrant some remedy to consumers. Please help us!

I purchased the GE top loading washer (# GLWN5250DWW) on May 15, 2013. By May 24th, 2013, a new pair of scrubs ($29.95 e-z wear scrubs) I purchased were ruined by the washer... I had washed a load of white clothes, put them in the dryer and placed my scrubs in the washer. I went to add a few more like colored clothes. When I came back, diluted bleach dripped on my scrubs ruining them! Later, my husband washed his jeans and the same thing happened to his jeans. I am currently waiting for a serviceman to look at the washer... I've been washing clothes for 40 years and NEVER had a problem with bleach on my clothes... Seriously, this washer needs to be RECALLED! When you feel the edges of the upper areas where the bleach is dispensed, there is curled lip where the bleach seems to be hanging out. Poor quality and design! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!

In 2010, we purchased a GE washer, at the urging of the salesman at Lowe's. Because we live close to Schenectady, we are familiar with General Electric products. I have never been impressed with their quality. They didn't disappoint me. After experiencing the problem of having clothes come from a finally completed "washing cycle", the clothes were covered with lint. When I called a trusted repairman (I saw no sense in calling a GE technician), I got the sad news. When I gave the repairman the model # WJRE5550K2WW, the immediate reply was "That's a piece of junk." He explained to me that this is a common problem with GE washers, and that they can't or won't do anything about the problem. Maybe they need a bigger government subsidy.

GE HE Washer Model gtwn5050m0ws - I must agree with the 75% of others who have rated this machine negatively. I've owned this machine for almost 2 years, and it is, hands down, the worst purchase I've ever made. I have been fortunate, only owning 3 washers in my 20+ adult years of living in my own household. The folks at Best Buy talked me into upgrading to this expensive washer from an old-fashioned agitating machine (energy rebate, etc.) when my old washer broke at the worst possible time (the day my son came home from surgery and experienced an emergency, using every towel in the house - Due to this, I had no time to do my usual research prior to making this major purchase).

GE Profile Washer - This is easily the very worst appliance we have ever owned. The clothes are just as soiled when the cycle is over as they were when I loaded them. It has very low water level and requires HE detergent. But I do not believe there is any redeeming quality even considering the energy savings. The clothes are simply dirty when they come from the washer. We bought large capacity and can only wash 2 or 3 items in a load. Never again.

GE Toploading GTWN5050M0WS - Just home from a great vacation with lots of dirty clothes. Had to be reminded again about the poor decision I made in this pathetic excuse for a washer. Did the dark with the smallest amount of HE detergent and still had streaks of soap residue all over most of the clothes. I had to hand rinse and scrub almost everything. I hate this thing. It is less than two years old and has always put grey residue on white clothing and white residue on black. I was told I was using too much soap. I swear I used about a third of the measure on a reasonably large load. No more HE for me!

GE sent out a tech and said it was the bearing and not warrantied. Too bad. I took the drum out and found 3 tab bracket had rotted off of the shaft. The bearing was fine. GE came back out and saw the problem. They offered a small discount. The machine was only 6 years old and paid over $800 for it.

I have owned this washing machine for exactly 4 years. It has broken down 3 times. I called GE to see if there are any problems and to let them know the product has issues. Their consumer relations department did not care that I had problems and said they were sorry and there’s nothing they can do. I will never buy GE products again.

A week ago, I wrote an extensive review about this washer model and about the place where we bought it in September 2012. I mentioned that Kelly never returned my calls and I was wrong. She actually returned my call today and Standard TV and Appliance in Portland, OR gracefully offered $550.00 credit towards the purchase of any washer at the store. I am truly impressed by Kelly and I do apologize for not giving enough credit to her efforts. It took a while, but we are quite satisfied. My lonely star is only for the washer that, by the way, Standard will come on Friday; deliver a Speed Queen we chose; and take the GE washer. Unfortunately, this GE washer does not deserve any better than a single star. On the other hand, Kelly and Standard TV deserves 5 stars.

I want consumers to know that the GE HE top load washer is the worst washer I have ever owned. I have owned at least eight other washers in my life, and the GE HE top load does not clean the clothes. I constantly have dirt or grime still in the clothes at the end of the wash cycle and have to rewash loads. I often wash smaller loads to try to avoid this, which makes buying an energy efficient washer void. Some loads that I'm just doing a light rinse on come out with white grime on them and are actually dirtier than when I started.

The machine is a complete junk! It does not wash clothes at all! Worst of all, I tried to return it, and I got the runaround saying that I needed to contact GE, who then told me I needed to return it to the place I bought it from. I even tried using the 2 rinse cycle to try to get clothing clean. It did not work! In order to get somewhat of a cleaning, you can only put a small amount of clothing in. It states high capacity!

We bought this washing machine and paid over $630 including an extended warranty in September 2012. The first day we used it, we noticed that there was very little water and the clothes did not come out clean. Naturally, we thought it was our fault and for about two months, we tried different detergents, settings, etc. but the results were always the same. We tried small loads, twice the detergent and nothing really worked. This is a washer! It was designed to get your clothes clean. It did not do it and obviously is a really bad design. I can go on and on describing everything that is wrong with the machine, but everyone else had already done it. We called the place we bought it from (Standard TV and Appliance in Beaverton, Oregon) and they passed the buck to GE who sent a technician who changed a belt and of course, nothing different happened.

GE Stackable Washer/Dryer GTUP270EM1WW - On Tuesday, 4/23/13, Lowe's delivered this unit to me. I was so excited to get a new washer/dryer! My excitement quickly turned to tears that night when I tried to wash a load of clothes. The washer would only agitate if it was set on the auto sense setting. I tried turning the unit off, moving to a different selection and starting it again. Nothing worked. I read in the manual that it may need to be reset, so I unplugged the unit, waited for two minutes and plugged it back in. I turned the selector to spin only because at this point I just want to get the water out. The washer would spin a few minutes then stops. This happened a few times, then the unit would not spin any longer. There was about 5 inches of water left in the machine.

I reported a problem to GE and they sent out a tech for three times now. They are sending a tech out again. They said that they will keep sending a tech because they have had no reason to replace the machine and that they will keep sending a tech because they are not falling out of their warranty rules! Meanwhile, my wife keeps hauling 5 gal buckets of water to the machine. I hope my wife is not injured hauling water to the machine! I think GE stinks and I will never deal with GE again. I feel sorry for anyone that has to go through what we have had to deal with!

GE front load washer model wbvh5200j2ww - When we purchased this front load GE washer in 2009, we thought we were getting a great appliance backed up by a great name in appliances. Nothing could be further than the truth. We have had numerous service calls, but the straw that broke the camel's back was when the washer started making shaking sounds and when I went in, the washer was smoking. I called GE, rather irate, because this could have burned my house down! Well let me make a long story short. GE does not care one bit. I told them I have had numerous service problems and about the latest, all they said is that they would have to schedule another service call. Upon telling them this was unacceptable and what occurred they refused to budge, I asked to speak with a supervisor and that was to no avail. I was told there are no supervisors. I even called the GE corporate office. They refused to discuss this problem with me and said I could call a repairman.

G.E.Profile front load washer - Let's put it this way! The most I ever paid for a washer in my life, and I got so used to the repairman coming to fix it that I asked if he and his family would like to come for Thanksgiving dinner since I saw more of him than my family! Not happy with my washer or dryer at all. Cannot wait to find a new one. Mine is 6 years old. We cannot leave the bottom front panel on because every time you wash, you have to unscrew the white plastic screw and drain the water out. It is loaded with small stones-like because the belt around the tub is breaking up. It sounds like a drum. Takes forever to do a load of wash and clothes are not clean. Hate this washer.

I bought a top-of-the-line GE Profile washer WPRE6100G1wt about 6 years ago. I had the motor and transmission replaced under warranty. Now it won't agitate or spin. Replaced the lid switch and it worked for a while, but I think it started working because I jiggled the motor connectors. I discovered the wires come out of the connectors. Incredibly, GE does not have a replacement part for the connectors or wire harness. Their advice is to buy a new washer. I'm still trying to find a replacement wiring harness or fix the one I have, but for sure I will not be buying any more GE appliances when they don't even make them repairable. Would be 0 stars if you gave me that option.

We bought our front load washer and dryer about six years ago and have nothing but trouble out of our washer since day one. Clothes never smell clean, and washer is off balance all the time. We have put the cleaning agent in the ad as directed and cannot tell a difference. Our washer has mold around the seal around the washer tub that won't come off. Clothes always smell molded and we have to rinse and spin two to three times before water is out of the clothes, and that does not matter if it is fully loaded or it's just a couple of things in it. Also, no matter what cycle I put it on, it always takes at least 45 min. at the least to wash, and that is the least amount of time that it washes.

My sister and I just moved into an apartment 3 months ago with a new GE washer/dryer combination (model GTUP270EM1WW). The washing machine seems to work OK so far (knock on wood), but the dryer has a loud oscillating-like hum during operation. Also the dryer is destroying our clothes! Beware if you have clothes with a drawstring. We have had drawstrings twisted so bad that it will be partially or totally pulled out of the article of clothing into an extremely tight accordion shape. When you try to straighten the string out, the material has become so hard and brittle that it will break apart. We have both had bras that were twisted so badly in the middle that they tore apart. Also, I had a workout jacket and the dryer broke the zipper pull off.

My GE washing machine is less than 4 years old; it’s pure junk. These are not made to last, very poor design. The thing shakes very badly. I mean very bad. It is as level as it can get, just one thing after another. Well I stopped. I could have just put that money into a new washer and been done, Model # WBVH5200J3WW. I have had it serviced twice. No help. I have taken it apart at least 4 times. Headache.

We got a new machine through my insurance. They gave me a GE washing machine. It does not remove animal hair, it does not rinse well, and it has broken already after one month. We already had the basket come loose. You can only wash about 5 towels at a time.

It does not clean clothing. Clothing doesn't even get wet and there is residue all over the clothing after the wash. I am very, very, very disappointed in this GE product. I have contacted GE in the past with no resolve.

GE top load washing machine 3.7 - I bought what I thought would be a great washing machine being a GE, America's trusted brand for appliances. The washer's drum hits around when it's spinning and hums. While washing my clothes, it tangles inside making it difficult to pull out and the water level sucks. I'm definitely not satisfied with my new GE washing machine, and Conn's charges restocking fees to return. I'm stuck with a piece of junk.

Our original washer dryer combo (Model: GTUP270EM1WW) flooded our laundry room and ruined our wood floor. GE sent a technician. After he was done, the washer made very loud noises and we called again. Another technician came. He ordered a new transmission. Another technician showed up, and I asked how were they going to test if the washer works without ruining anything in our apartment. He said that they would plug it in, and if it turned on, it worked. I called consumer relations; they had no record of the technicians’ visits. They decided to send a new unit. In the meantime, 2 service calls that were confirmed by GE were no shows. I had to pay someone to be at my home for nothing.

Terrible performance. Literally the worst washing machine I've ever had. Design flaws cause large items to drape over low agitator, and water level doesn't get high enough to submerge clothes. This results in clothes, towels, etc. having large unwashed areas! Do not buy this machine. The "low energy" claim is totally nullified by you having to run loads of wash 2 and 3 times in a row to clean clothes.

We purchased a GE washer only 2 years ago and now the transmission has gone out according to the repairman who came out for repair. It started making a large knocking sound while washing that turned out to be the drum thumping the sides of the unit due to the transmission going out. It is very loud! GE and Lowe's are not willing to work with us either on this obvious manufacturer default. We will not be spending the $265.00 for replacement and will not ever purchase another GE product. I highly suggest that everyone purchase the extended warranty as I am sure this will happen again and again. I am posting this just in case GE should decide to recall the units at some point. I would love to see justice done so they will start to produce a quality product. This unit is a piece of crap!

I hate my GE Profile washing machine. GE should be ashamed of themselves. The rubber gasket is yucky with black mold, no matter how careful you are about wiping and drying the gasket. I called to get a replacement gasket and they wanted $260 not including shipping. I will never buy another GE product.

GE Top Load Profile Washer and Dryer - Several service calls, approximately 8 for the 1st, resulted in a still non-functioning washer. Dryer is iffy at this time. Lowe's refunded our monies and we chose another machine. Todd, Consumer Relations, stepped in and asked us to allow GE to switch out the old with a new upgraded machine. We allowed it. We cancelled the new machine from Lowe's and GE delivered another defective GE upgraded machine. GE will not refund our monies to use but is insistent on repairing this defective machine. No. Both machines would be under warranty and never worked.

My whole residence got flooded a few weeks ago! The technician said it was probably the kitchen rug that I was washing which had sloshed the water out of the machine? I had washed that rug many times before in that machine. Yesterday, the new tenant called and said she was washing and she heard water running on the floor. She ran into the laundry room and there was water pouring out of the lid and down the washer. Good Bye, G.E. Never again!

GE Washing machine Model # WBVH5200J1WW Serial #: HR206724T - My husband and I purchased this washer from GE in 2008 and purchased the extended warranty for $100. The warranty ran out in December 2012. The washer broke right after Christmas. I emailed a complaint into GE and they did send a tech on Friday, Jan. 25, 2013 to look at it at no charge to us. The tech came in and opened the washing machine. He shook the basket and said, "Just what I thought. The basket is broken." Then gave us an estimate for $529. They told us that we were doing too large of loads of laundry, which is not true. Now they have been in touch with us and stated they will give us the parts for free, but we still have to pay for the labor which is $529.

Less than 30 days old and the spouse is about to return to the store. It makes a loud bang (loud enough for my son to notice and mention). Not at all satisfied with this GE product!

I have had this washer for a couple of years and notice that it keeps a mold smell all the time. I have to clean it out with Clorox and hot water often so it won't get dirt and smudge on my clothes. I've been washing clothes for 47 years and never, ever have I had a washer that requires you to clean it out like this one. I hate it. I wished they would make them like the old ones were, with the lint catchers on top of the adjectors so you can get rid of the dirt and lint. It makes sense to me. Now the new ones go in holes and molds. I wish I had my old washer back. I never had this kind of problem and my clothes were always clean without having this smudge and grease looking stuff on my clothes. I saw the reviews of other people and my son has a GE. His does the same way. What happened to good washing machines? I don't know what to do next. I think GE should recall all their washers because they don't wash for **.

GE Profile washing machine Model WPRE6150K2WT - I have had a repair person out 2-3 times, but says can't take care of the problem. My whites are so dirty I'm ashamed. Other close have spots of lint or soap on them. What can I do? I've had it for over 2 years.

We purchased a GE top load washer and it spins and bangs against the walls till we turn it off and start it again, which can happen several times a load, every load. I am ready to just give it away. Do not waste your money on any GE products or appliances and they might get the message to quit selling junk to hardworking Americans. Tell your friends and neighbors.

Worst washer we ever bought. I paid over $1,000 for it and it does a horrible job! If I want hot water for whites, it takes 2 hours and 15 minutes to do it no matter if I am doing a small load or a large one. Will never purchase another GE appliance again. I tried calling GE but got nowhere.

My washing machine had minor problems with gentle cycle for a couple of months before Christmas. I was having trouble with the clothes being sopping wet with all cycles. I had a serviceman from another company who came out for free and told me that the motor board is malfunctioning and said that it would cost over $250-$300 to fix and that this particular model has had these problems. In fact, a number of people have had complaints about this model. Therefore, I called GE and you referred A&E Factory Service. I was not told of any charge.

The start button on my brand new dryer, not even a year old, stops working. I called the company I bought it from and they sent a repairman. He said he had ordered the part, so the waiting begins. I was told it would only be a 3-day wait for the part and he would be back to fix it. After a week, I called him and he said he was still waiting for the part. So after a few hours, he called me back and said I was not going to be happy because they were telling him my part would not be in until Jan. 14, 2013. This was only on November 26, 2012. I called the company very angry over this as we are not in the summer months, so I needed the dryer. They said they will see what they can do to help me get the part faster.

This is the worst washing machine I have ever owned. It doesn't clean the clothes and I have to wash them again, sometimes three or four times before the clothes can be worn. I've tried different types of soaps, washing boosters, and my clothes would still come out with soap residue or stains if I were using a liquid detergent. This has cost me time, money for electricity and it's definitely not energy efficient. I wouldn't buy another GE product period. I'm 65 years old and have used many brands of washing machines but this product is a complete piece of **!

I bought a front load GE washer and dryer stack combination. After 4 years, the entire ceramic tripod in the machine fell apart. I was puzzled when my husband took out the drip pan underneath the machine and it was filled with crumbled ceramic. Apparently, ceramic deteriorates if you have hard water - which we do. We called customer service and argued with them that this shouldn't be happening on a $900 machine. After a few weeks, they told us to pick out a new machine and they would give us 50% off - free shipping and installation. Well that was before Thanksgiving. So on Black Friday, I wanted to get the machine at Home Depot because they had a sale of $200 off, which would bring the machine down to $700.

I never hated an appliance as much as I hate this machine (model GHW N 4250 DWW DD 767-816). It takes 45 minutes to wash a load of clothes with a second rinse. My old Maytag never took that long and the clothes in the GE is no cleaner. The GE spins so fast that it is destroying and wearing out my clothes. Everything comes out so wrinkled that the average thing that never came out wrinkled before (like jeans and towels) have to be pressed after coming out of the dryer because the GE mangles and spins everything to death. In order to keep my clothes from being spun to death and worn out, I reverted to washing everything on delicate. I have lace curtains that I have washed many times over the years in my Maytag, but am afraid to put them in the GE as it will rip them to shreds.

I have a GE front load washer that is about 6 years old. It is absolutely the worst washer I have ever owned. It is constantly full of mold regardless of how often it is cleaned. Some areas are impossible to reach and therefore cannot be cleaned. Thus far, we have replaced the rubber housing that is just inside the door due to the mold. This repair was about $250. I have no confidence that items are ever clean due to the mold. The repairman suggested that we leave the door open when not in use and to open the dispenser tray to control the mold. It really hasn't helped much.

I purchased the GE Profile Prodigy washer used. The exterior was immaculate. The washer had deluxe quiet printed on it, but the spin cycle was very noisy. The dealer told us that sometimes GE washers get out of balance and the noise would go away. It did not go away. However, the spin cycle worked. About sixty days into our use of the machine, it stopped spinning with regular loads. I called a technician and he looked at it and listened to it run and told us it was the transmission. We found that hard to believe because we always thought GE was a reliable producer and this machine could not be more than a few years old and the exterior was in such good condition. So we paid for a second opinion only to get the same finding. In our search for technicians, most of the ones we contacted would not work on GE washers. We will not buy another GE product and we will encourage those who ask us to do the same. We have an excellent looking shell that seems to be such a waste to get rid of, but the transmission replacement cost is too expensive.

I had a 4-year old GE front load HE machine that was advertised as being 'top of the line' with a stainless steel drum, etc. It saw maybe “every other day use” and was never overloaded or abused. Last week, my wife informed me she was afraid to use the machine as it had become very noisy and there was a burning smell during the spin/rinse cycle. I found that the drum had about 2 inches of free play. I contacted the GE authorized service, and to their credit, they had an available appointment within two days. The repairman examined the machine and determined that the whole drum assembly (he called it the tripod) would have to be replaced. He was honest enough to tell me that that particular part was poorly made and the replacement part was of the same quality and that in his opinion it would not be worth the money it would cost to fix it. I later took the back off the machine and discovered that the whole support structure for the drum is made out of plastic and found the broken piece from the 'tripod'. I can't fathom that a machine that cost over $800 was so cheaply made. Needless to say, I will never purchase a GE major appliance again.

We purchased a top of the line GE washing machine. It had various problems from the beginning. We have had horrible customer service dealing with repairs. We had 20 different repair visits from GE technicians for 6 months. They have replaced each and every part 2-3 times. I had to call, schedule an appointment, and wait over and over while they replaced every single part. I requested a replacement after the 10 technician visits. It was denied. I stated that it could be any model but the one we have had nothing but problems with. They stated that they never replace products and that it was repairable. It has been a nightmare. The washing machine has never worked correctly or consistently. They finally replaced that machine after the 28th repair visit. They sent a new one, same model. They sent the wrong color, but I really didn't care that it no longer matched my dryer.

I am writing to report a similar problem with a GE washing machine, model WCRE6270H. After four years, my washer won't spin! It's just plain ridiculous to have to spend hundreds of dollars having to get it fixed! This is a considerable economic loss as the cost of repairing on the washing machine is quite expensive. No more GE products in my house.

I will keep this short and simple. I bought a dryer and washer unit in January 2012. Both the dryer and washer had problems. I kept calling for the repair tech to come and fix, but it's taking him several attempts to come because the machine keeps failing. The longest time I had to wait for the tech to come was about two months because he was supposed to make a rush order for the parts to fix the washer. But I don't think he did. No one had called me to tell me about the part if it was ordered or not. I had to call them several times to check, then they told me the parts were back-ordered so I had to wait a good two months for them. Finally, they came and installed the parts which worked at the time. But the next day, it was broken again.

Zero stars because I am more than angry. I purchased a new GE washer (GTWN4250DOWS) this past November 2012. I am fed up with the washer and fed up with GE. My GE uses the new HydroWave technology. The tub does not fill all the way to the top, so I can no longer wash my comforters. My work aprons get tangled in the agitator so bad that I have to call repair to get them to take the machine apart and remove them. When I complained to the repairman about the problems, he told me to take my comforters to a laundromat and to put my aprons in garment bags. The reason I have my own washing machine is so I don't have to go to a laundromat. I did, however, go out and buy two garment bags and the washer ripped the zippers off them. I only used them one time.

I purchased a mid-priced GE top load washer at the end of Oct. 2012. Within days, it started making a huge banging sound during every spin cycle. About a week ago, I couldn't take it anymore. I opened it up and saw that there was a large bolt sticking up, not holding anything down and then realized that the grey brick counter weight had become detached. I got a neighbor to come over and re-bolt the thing and as soon as the spin cycle started, it stripped again and began very loud banging again. I was very upset, as this was basically brand new.

I purchased a WJRE5550K2WW washing machine in early 2010 at Lowe's. Being "new technology" (high efficiency) and hydro something design, I was never satisfied. My clothes were ever really clean. Whites were pitiful, but we endured for a year thinking most of the trouble was based on our well water though we use a softener system. After moving to a new home on city water (and softened), we began having issues with mid-cycle stoppages, agitator not working, and finally, failing to spin out. The tub drained, but it seemed the motor would not work sometimes. After calling GE and setting up a $99.95 service call "plus parts", I decided to instead call someone else. We called a repairman through a local dealer, and it became obvious that he was not familiar with the "new technology." After two hours of just poking around and scratching his head, he determined it "could be the main board ($200+) or it could be the motor ($175+) or possibly both ($400+)."

It is the worst washing machine ever. When I wash dark clothes (and turn them inside out), they come out of the wash with white smudges and streaks both inside and out. I either have to wash them by hand again or take a clothes brush to the whole garment. If my dark clothes are like this, I wonder how clean my lighter colored clothes are. I have had this GE HE machine for about 18 months, and I have tried every cycle, different laundry detergents. Nothing seems to make a difference. I am so mad. I will be junking this machine within a month and buying a new one, but I don't know what to buy. I had a Maytag washer for 26 years which washed everything clean. I sure wish I had that one back.

I have been doing laundry for over 40 years and never have I experienced such a disaster as the GE washing machine. It sounds like a 747 jet taking off in the spin cycle and the clothes constantly get caught. Home Depot should stop carrying this brand and should take it off the market entirely. I have had it for less than six months and have had numerous service calls. What engineering idiot designed this piece of junk?

I bought a dryer and washer a little over a year ago from Sears. I had nothing but bad times with my GE appliances. It seems like GE doesn't care for their customers and I will never buy another GE anything! After bringing it home, I have called customer service for the dryer making a squealing noise. The tech came out, did what he had to and left. Noise came and went. Now, it's so bad that I called to complain again and was questioned by customer service why I didn't call back sooner and she said that there's nothing GE will do. I spent $1,000 a little over a year ago and this is how they treat me. Keep in mind that within the first three months of having the washer, the belt popped and I had to return it to Sears. I called to have it fixed.

Hotpoint/GE washer model HSWP1000M2WW - I have to babysit the washer when I do laundry. Clothing has been stuck under the agitator several times! There is no way to lift (unscrew a cap) the agitator. I have to keep pulling the fabric and ease it out. Then, I find the item/items are covered with grease. I have only had the washer since May 15, 2012. I hate it! It was replaced from my Hotpoint that I used for over 23 years, and it still performed well, but the dryer quit heating. So, I decided to buy new units instead of forking money out for repair on the dryer. I so regret that decision! My old washer had a cap to unscrew. I often removed it and cleaned underneath if need be. These new units cost twice as much as our old ones, and they are cheap looking and very plain. Here is a photo of the last item. The other ones that were grease covered and/or torn, I had disposed of.

GE model WHDVH660HWW Front Loading Washing Machine was purchased in 2008, has never run properly, and has always had problems with the load balance. Also, the mold problem and bad odor in the washer. The washer actually started smoking during a rinse/spin cycle. We disconnected the washer and called GE. They sent a repairman out, and he never even started the washer. We were told that the washing basket was out of round and it would have to be replaced. Cost $771.00 plus the $90+ for this service call. It seems that all these GE front loaders are a problem. I have a kitchen full of GE products. I wouldn't recommend purchasing anything with the GE name.

My machine does not spin all the water out of the wash cycle like my old-type GE. I can put water selection on hot, and the machine will only add hot water when the lid is open. When I close the lid, the water switches to cold. When washing clothes, the method of agitation is totally inadequate. I hate this machine!

This new technology washer, GE 4.3 IEC model, is a complete piece of garbage. We wish we still had our 20-year old model they took away as at least it got the clothes clean. Do not buy their new washers with no agitator and low water consumption. They do not get your clothes clean and leave lint, dog hair, and dirt on your clothes. The service guy came out to our house and said that there is nothing wrong with the machine and it is working as designed! He said they get a huge amount of complaints about the unit and that my file has been turned over to GE customer relations. Well, they just called and tried to tell me that I must be doing something wrong! They refuse to admit there is a problem with this machine and their design and will do nothing for you! Tough luck, basically. I will never buy another GE appliance and I will tell everyone I know not to also. Poor product and poor company!

I called GE for a repair. It is not a repair; it is a reprogram. They are reprogramming it, which means now it will not spin as fast. I have owned my machine (GE Front Loading WPDH8800) for 2 1/2 years. I have had problem after problem, repairman after repairman. I have to rewash due to soap still in load after it completes its cycle. I use pods now since my automatic soap dispensers do not work. I wonder how many loads I washed without soap! I have had my automatic soap dispensers fixed 4 times (new hoses, new pumps). I am so over this washer. I will never buy GE again.

Ge Profile washer - Sounds like a common problem. Twice this has happened. The first time, the repair cost for warranty exceeded and they replaced the washer. I thought, great. Now the second time, I've been listening to it get louder and know it quite well. It's out of warranty and I'm not going to let them charge me to fix it. So, I took the back off it and saw the belt drive for the drum wore out. The belt was shredded. I don't know what exactly started it but for a hundred dollar, I'll try to see how long it will last. When I pulled the back cover off, I noticed the (concrete) counterweight and a piece broke off. The drive pulley was ob-longed on the shaft causing slop and the belt was off, which probably flew off after so much wobbling shaft. Lesson learned - do more homework before purchasing major appliances.

I purchased a large capacity top load machine (model GTWN2800D0WW) in July 2012. In September 2012, it flooded my laundry room. Service technician indicated that it required a part that was on backorder and would not be available for several weeks. Consumer advocate supervisor declined my request to refund my money. Instead, he upgraded and sent me a new machine (model GTWN4250DWS). After having machine for two weeks, I noticed that any clothing with a drawstring or extra long sleeves was getting wrapped so tightly around the agitator that they were getting small rips and tears in them. Plus, it was quite difficult and time-consuming to untangle my clothing.

My GE Profile washing machine, which was purchased in July 2011, would not spin the clothes dry enough to put in my dryer. We shut off the power button but the machine kept running, so we disconnected the power plug. Later at 4:00 AM, our alarm system went off. We got up to check why it was going off. Water was pouring down into the basement from the upstairs utility room. The utility room was flooded and the water was going down the heating duct, which caused my water heater to short out. We turned the main water system off, but the damage was already done and my utility room was ruined. Should a washing machine 16 months old be doing that? It has caused over $4,000 worth of damages. We will not buy a GE machine again!

Update to previous entry: My son did tell me several weeks ago that there was sand in the washing drum and small gravel pieces in the drain hose filter (We filter out the lint to keep it out of the plumbing). A salesman told us that it looked like concrete (in output filter) broken down into smaller pieces. We disconnected machine and looked under it, and there is a large circular piece of concrete that is part of the machine, and a piece is missing from the outer edge of it. Has anyone out there had this happen with sand and gravel in their washers?

I bought my machine (WCVH6260FWW) 6 years ago for $850! I know but it was first really high tech machine I bought and it uses less water and less oil to heat the water. When first delivered, it made the noise and GE came through and replaced the whole machine immediately. It has been a nice machine for 6 years, except it seems now that the ball bearings are shot. It could have been misuse on our part. I have been away and my sons have used the machine. I have told them not to overload it and I think they would heed that advice, but I really don't know. The warranty is over. The repairs will cost between $600 and 700. I think I'm just going to scrap it and buy a good, simple, old-fashioned machine if it is available, because we have noticed with dishwashers that the simple ones are no longer available. I'm curious - if a lot of people have this problem and have not overloaded, is it the machine? It has been discontinued now. Is there a class action lawsuit?

We bought a GE frontload washer and we've had it for 5 years. Then, we had to replace the pump; luckily, I found a cheap priced one on eBay. We also didn't know of the filter clean out until a neighbor of mine who bought one found out about it after the repairman took his apart and cleaned it. We have a very loud spin cycle which we set on medium spin speed so the washer doesn't jump around. Our machine also smoked on a spin cycle and pieces of melted rubber show up in our clothes every now and then. The washer also smells like old stinking sour water when it runs, and gets in our clothes. I've read that Whirlpool has a class action lawsuit against them for the same problems of the smell. I wonder if there is one against GE. I see that I'm not the only one with these issues.

My nightmare started on 9/11/12. A GE repairman came to fix my washing machine. I did not have a warranty and it cost me $300.00. As soon as he left, we did laundry and the machine started making noises which sounded like a train was going through our house (I have this recorded it on my phone). I thought since some parts were replaced this might subside. It did not, so I called GE and they sent out another repairman. He told me that the 1st repairman did not tighten some things correctly and it caused damage to another part that he would have to order which would take a week to be delivered. The parts were delivered in the week and another repairman came to fix the machine. Repairman #3 replaced the part, said the machine was fixed then left. I then went to do some wash and again, the machine made the same noise but this time water started to leak into my basement. We then had to cut a hole in our drywall because of the water damage.

If it was possible to feel hate for an appliance, then that's how I would feel about this GE Front Loading High Efficiency Washer. I should have returned it immediately. I never felt that it was getting my laundry clean. Now all I have are problems with the wash cycle not advancing, and improper spinning and draining. I have read the manual over and over again, and have had no choice but to call a repairman. The problem is I just don't want this product any longer. I would rather purchase a new washer than repair this one that is just over a year old. Never purchase this product! If this is GE engineering, then I would never purchase another GE product!

I moved to a little town five years ago and bought a new GE washer (WHRE550H1WW) as it was on sale. I thought, GE has a good name and they have been around forever. Surely, their products should be fine. We could not install for one and a half years due to remodel. I live alone so I do at least three loads a week. The washer doesn't clean worth a darn, started making this loud screeching sound and leaks water. So, I called a repair person to come in and the transmission gear is gone. Well, for what it costs to fix, I will junk it and start over with a Whirlpool. I should have stuck with the reliable and good old Whirlpool.

I have a 3-year old GE front loading washing machine. So far I have had two major repairs. In 2010 I had the motor board and the door lock replaced for a bill of $319.18. Yesterday (10/31/12) I paid $128.10 to have a new inlet pipe installed. The plastic had cracked and water was coming out the bottom on my machine. The appliance man said that I was lucky that I didn't have to replace another motor board ($160.00) because the leak was very close to that part. I would not recommend this appliance to anyone!

GE washer is horrible! I purchased my GE washer three years ago and since then, I have had nothing but problems. It will not spin and rinse the clothes. Time after time, I have to go down and put it on another rinse and spin cycle. This is with me always keeping it set to second spin. I am spending way more money on my electric bill due to the fact that it takes two hours to dry towels because they are so damp going in. Energy-efficient washer? I think not! I only wish I had read these consumer reviews before I purchased it. The techs coming in to repair have told me not to buy GE as they make the worst appliances - good to know for the future. I had my old basic washer for 12 years with no problems. Never ever again will I purchase this brand.

GE front load washer, less than 3 years old - Within the first 6 months (under warranty), the pump broke. They said it was my fault but the good repairman fixed it. Still the washer never did spin out the water very well after that, so I had to re-spin it every time. Now the drum is cracked and we were quoted $900 in parts plus labor. No warranty this time. I couldn't afford the extra money for extended warranty. I can't afford for them to fix it so my husband, who isn't a repairman, got a second hand drum and is now trying to fix it. If he can't, where in the heck is the money to buy a new one?

We purchased a GE front load HE washer model GCVH6600H1GG about 4.5 years ago. The matching dryer is fine. The washer was flawed from the beginning. It looked great but lots of rocking, shaking and noise. We made the mistake of replacing the pump (about $240) and what might have contributed to that is there is a secret filter under the front cover that they don't tell you about, but you need to clean out every few months. We did not replace the front door, which was cheap plastic that was cracking, which would have cost another $300+. The parts could not be found in Canada for less than $219.

I purchased a GE 24'' Laundry Center w/ Electric Dryer (Model # GTUP240EMWW). The spin cycle stopped working after 6 months. I contacted the customer service department to schedule a repair appointment. Their customer service and technicians are both less than satisfactory. I've had 2 service appointments to repair the spin cycle, and the washing machine spin cycle still doesn't work. I now need to replace an appliance that is less than a year old and is still under warranty. I will surely go with another make and model. Stay far away from GE appliances. It's a shame that GE makes and sells appliances that don't even last a full year.

I would put 0 star if I could. I bought this GE washer/dryer unit with model number GTUP270GM0WW one year plus 2 weeks ago. It suddenly stopped working yesterday, seemed a small lid problem. But since the warranty just expired two weeks ago, they asked $99.95 for service plus possible labor/part if repair is necessary. It's plain robbery. A washer only lasts for one year - they calculate so well! Such a lousy company and problem, never buy from them again!

GE Profile Washer WHRE5550K2TWW - I purchased a brand new GE Profile clothes washer in June 2010. I have a family of 3, so the loads are not over the top. 2 weeks ago on occasion, the machine started operating out of sequence. It would spin at the time of filling. Then, it would agitate at the time of drain and spin. Then two days ago I could not get it to spin at all. A local repairman came out and diagnosed the problem as the control board (mother board) and the motor. Parts alone would be close to $400 (which is the price I paid for it brand new) not counting labor. I was informed that the motor going out within two years is a very chronic problem as the motors are made outside of the USA - in Mexico, Indonesia and some in China. The motor alone is worth 75% of the value of this appliance and it can't hold up past 2 years?

I bought a GE washer model WJSR41606GWW, serial SR128198G on 10-20-08. First repair within two years for no spin during wash and rinse cost $125. Second repair call was for the same problem within three years. This time, the motor needs to be replaced which cost $89.95 for service call and $250 for motor. I bought a new washer on sale for $358.20. The cost to repair is $464. I can't justify spending more on a product than it costs after just three years. GE makes poor quality products, has poor quality service techs and poor quality management. Don't buy GE ever! There are Lemon Laws for poorly made autos. Let's have Lemon Laws for durable goods like this poor quality GE washer. I am not the only one with this problem. GE should stand behind what they make, but sadly, they don't. Remember: Don't buy any GE products ever! Buy from another company that is known for quality.

I bought this top load washer model #WBSR3140G2WW for $369. After 6 months, the timer went out. It was repaired. Now 3 years later, the timer goes out again. The cheapest fix is $210. All that I can assume is a defective design; hence, it's a piece of junk. I detest the fact that items are so cheaply made (in China, no doubt). That "Planned Obsoletion" tactic sucks.

My machine is supposed to use less water which it does but it does not clean the clothes very well. After about three years, the bolts holding the tub broke and fell into the evacuator motor and destroyed the motor. It was out of warranty. GE paid for the new tub, but I paid over $250 for labor and a service call. Now the machine works but it sounds like tornado when evacuating the water. There is still something wrong with the evacuator motor. It takes forever to do a load of clothes. I never had so much trouble with a washer in so short a period of time. Never buy a GE.

GE front load washer WBVH6240FWW - This was purchased in 2006. Mold is disgusting and the odor left on clothes, even when taken out, is awful. The mold weakened the rubber door boot seal and now it tore and it leaks. I cannot use the machine and all GE wants to do is send someone out to give an estimate to replace parts, but they will not give any idea as to the cost. Now that I am reading the other posts, I wonder about the noise and shaking I heard during the draining cycle front load. Never again; GE is not the customer first company it used to be, or they would recall the inferior front load washers they manufactured.

I bought a GE top loader about 1 year ago and it has been a nightmare. The washer will not spin, even on extra spin cycle. Sometimes I have to put it on spin for 3 to 4 times and then have to take clothes off and do it by hand. It takes 2 to 3 hours to do a load. Now it will not spin at all. I had a GE person to check it a couple of weeks after I bought it and they said I was putting too much soap in. So, I changed that to the point where I put no soap in and it still does not spin.

I paid around $800 for this piece of crap, only had it for 4 years. I paid more and got a hell of a lot less. I will never buy GE again! They make you buy the motor when all you need is a circuit board, 4 screws and 4 plugs removed. But GE only sells the motor. No circuit board! To fix this, it would cost about $400 so you're better off to buy a new one. GE can stick it! My used Amana lasted 14 years so that tells me their technology sucks. It's for their advantage, not their customers!

After years of reconditioned used washers (3 actually), I finally convinced my husband to buy me a new one. It will be the last one we have to buy. After all, the others lasted 10 years each. What a joke! My 2-year old top loader GE has been a waste of time and money since we got it. Not enough water, moldy smelling clothes and towels, not spinning out so bad we had to use the extended spin 2 times per load. It took 6 hours to do 4 loads of clothes. We didn't even realize it was so bad until my daughter moved out and said how she could do 3 loads in about an hour! Then in the middle of a load of clothes, it just quit. The repairman said $468! What? We paid $700 for it! The computer is bad and that ruined the motor! I will never by GE again. Their response was, "You chose not to buy the extended warranty!" My parents never had to buy a warranty on their washer and it lasted 25 years! Guess GE doesn't think they'll make enough money that way!

GE Washer Model # WCVH6260 door boot seal, front load washer is severely damaged. It left the laundry room and basement flooded. It damaged the wooden floor in laundry room and lot of things got wet in the basement. The repair cost for the washer is $245. Replacing the wooden floor in the laundry room and damages in basement is $1,000+.

After 1 year, the bearings went out and the smell is terrible. The tube will not drain. GE will not do anything.

I bought a new GE washer. I hate it. It doesn't clean the clothes and they come out all tied together. I need to wash the clothes two or three times to get them clean. It never gets enough water in the tub that sometimes the clothes on top are still dry when the washer is finished. I hate this washer. I will never buy another product like this.

This washer has been a piece of junk since I bought it! We've had to continuously fix the door for several different pieces breaking on it! The whole thing is a piece of crap! I will not buy another front-load washer! I can't even wash clothes right now, for a family of five, who needs clothes washed at least every other day. This is an inconvenience, and now I'm going to have to find a whole new washing machine because parts to fix are just as much as a new machine! I will be looking for a different brand also!

Element on dryer has gone two times and washer has flooded laundry room and now the rubber has ripped all the way around. I have spent too much money on repairs and can't keep fixing these problems. I have bought new GE appliances when we built our house and have contacted Home Depot many times about the problems I have had with my washer and dryer and they only cover one year warranty? Seeing how I have spent over $7,000 in new GE appliances, I would like some help with either fixing them or a brand new set! I have contacted a service guy to come and fix the washer and it is now going to cost me half the price of just buying a new washer. Help please with these repair costs. I just keep getting the runaround and can never get a hold of a person to talk to from GE.

Top loading GE washing machine - Piece of junk. Doing a small load and the machine overflows and will not agitate. Then when attempting to rinse and spin, the water pours out of the back of the machine. It has lasted 2 years, same problem with the GE I had 2 years ago. Totally a piece of junk. I'm hoping Home Depot has a better choice of machines.

We have model GTWN4250M1WS. This machine sucks. It is the worst GE washer we ever bought. You always have to put in half the amount of clothes you should put in. The water never covers the clothes. Because of this, it affects the washing and rinsing of the clothes. This machine is a piece of **. Shame on you, GE. There are a lot of annoyed customers that bought this piece of **. In the future, we will never by GE products again.

My 4-year old washer overfilled and flooded my laundry room going into the basement and causing me to lose my hardwood floor in the laundry room plus several items that cannot be replaced. This also cost me $500 deductible for my homeowner's insurance to cover the damage. It took 3 days for the 7 fans and 2 industrial dehumidifiers from the restoration company to dry the place out. Of course, this doesn't cover the cost of repairing or replacing the washer. When I emailed GE to ask what the part number would be for me to order and replace the necessary part, their response was, "I don't know but we can schedule a service call." Really? I tried to call the company but the recording said they were receiving a high volume of calls and my wait time on hold would be at least 15 minutes. After reading these comments, I can see why their customer service number has such a long wait. I will not be stopping here. They have pissed off the wrong person this time!

I purchased a GE front-loading washer and dryer in 2008. It has been a living nightmare. I have had problems with the washer since day one. It had a 2 year warranty. It goes off balance, shut down during cycles, have to restart, does not spin, and dry properly. I filed a complaint with the State Attorney General. A rep called me from GE and said because the warranty ran out, they will not send a repairman to look at it. They will replace and they will cover 30%. Are you kidding me? I threw out $2,300.00 for a piece of junk and that's the best they can do? I’m going back to the State Attorney General and find out how to start a class action lawsuit. Anyone want to join in?

We bought this GE profile from Leon's store on the 18th July for our brand new home. The product was delivered to us on the 24th. We opened the product on the 30th, installed and ran. It looks fine but it broke down yesterday. The product broke down in 30 days. The product did not last for more than a few days and it broke down. I went to Leon's for return. They don't want to take it back. I thought GE is the best, but I highly recommend to never buy a GE product. Biggest mistake.

I telephoned Customer Care on 12 September because my dryer of only 4 years would not work and made a humming sound when the start button was pushed. I gave the serial and model numbers and the person (did not get the name) put me through a series of things to check for like breaker box, etc. Finally, they recommended that I needed a technician and made an appointment. When the technician came the next day, it took him all of 60 seconds to push a little reset button on the inside of the dryer and charge me $79.95 when this could have been addressed on the phone and this troubleshooting method is not in the owner's either. I am a disabled vet and cannot afford to just give up money in this manner.

My GE Front loader washer is 2 years old and started leaking so bad it flooded my upstairs laundry room. My husband said he would look at it. Come to find out he opened up the back of the washer and one of the shocks was never set in place. That is why my washer would bang so loud and would actually move from the spot we had it in. From that happening, it broke my water inlet tube from the soap dispenser leading into the front of the drum. Something as cheap as a $12.00 part caused a lot of damage and wasted time. Thankfully, my husband is a good mechanic. And we didn't waste time with GE.

We purchased a front load washer in 2006, only to find out 6 years later that it is shot! The washer started to get very loud on the spin cycle. It wasn't off-load nor did it jump around. Upon calling 2 service repair companies in our area, I was told that they wouldn't waste my money on a service call because this is such a common complaint that they knew exactly what it was - there is a bearing that is encased in the motor, and to get to it and replace it would cost $500-$600! It's not worth it since I paid around $900 for a new one! I also had problems with the clothes smelling, and it took an hour to wash a load of clothes. We had bought the washer from Sears, and bought a name brand (at least I thought they were), only to be very angry at the fact that the washer is not worth repairing!

I bought a GE dryer model GTDP300EMOWS less than 2 years ago and the motor has gone out. I only use the dryer an average of 3 times a week. The repairman couldn't believe it went out that soon either and could tell by the condition of the dryer that it was well kept and still looks new. You buy a new product and go with a name you trust and then you get burned. The price of the motor and labor is almost as much as the cost of a new dryer. I guess I will go to Whirlpool.

I purchased no agitator washer. This is the worst GE I ever bought. I am using HE detergent. As noted, it is awful. I will never buy GE again. I always loved GE appliances, but not anymore. I am now stuck with a no good washer. Shame on you.

Since we purchased our front loading GE washer about five years ago, we have had nothing but problems. The washer would fail to cycle and then it would smell. When we finally did get repair people out, we were told that was "normal," which isn't true. We also have to unscrew the flow value at the bottom of the washer all the time since socks, etc. are constantly getting into this tube. Now, the washer is locked and it makes a very loud noise. When we call, we are told there is a two-hour wait. We are now looking at getting a new machine and just writing this off as a bad experience. We will never buy GE again!

I purchased a GE top loading washer about 10 months ago. I have had GE washers in the past (like 10 years ago) and was very pleased with them. This new one is a piece of junk taking up space in my laundry room. The tub is inconsistent as to how much water goes in, sometimes it's barely enough to wet the clothes; other times it overflows all over the floor. But the main problem is the rinse cycle. It has something called a "rain shower" and the dirty water will drain out but not spin at all, so dirty water is left in the clothing. A 15-second fill of water occurs and then the tub will agitate for 15 seconds. That's it, that's your rinse cycle. The clothes smell dirty and don't feel clean. I finally got smart and now, I wash the clothes and let the cycle complete. I then put the machine on another wash cycle without detergent. A total waste of water but at least my clothes are clean. I will never purchase another GE washer or appliance until GE replaces this piece of crap.

I bought a GE front loader washer about 3.5 years ago. It would always rock and slam back and forth. I took it off the riser and this did nothing. I called out for a repair. The repairman said it looked like a shock problem and replaced it, but it had just passed the year warranty so I had to pay for the repair call. It never stopped going off balance and two days ago, the transmission appears to have failed. I called GE and they told me of the recall two years ago. They said they were building a case on my problem and then referred me to the department to schedule the recall repair. They said not to use the machine because a thermal event could occur. I asked about the other problem (transmission) and was told that they were not certain if I would have to pay for the visit with regard to the new problem. I stayed on the line for literally 45 minutes and no one picked up to schedule the repair visit.

The washing machine glass just exploded. I called GE and they said there have not been other complaints. The washing machine is 2 years old and they would not warranty. This is a consumer hazard. I googled on the computer and there have been other complaints. This appliance should be recalled due to the lid. There is now glass all over clothes. Please contact me at **.

Did you know that the plastic balancer that goes around the clothes tub is filled with acid? GE doesn't want to offer any help with my question why there is a corrosive liquid in a household appliance that is not needed. One said it's filled with saline solution and another said that I had no right to open a factory sealed part. My thought is that GE is so big that they have come up with a way of getting rid of old acid by putting it in to a very thick well-made rings that are almost indestructible so they just go to trash yards. Sounds like the love canal and a place not too far from me found drums underground at an expressway bridge site under construction.

When our washing machine was delivered, we called saying we were struggling with not having enough water in the tub to wash the clothes, but we were told that it was normal and to read the directions. If we wash two or three items, it's fine but anything more than that, there's not enough water. After calling several times, ABC sent someone out. By this time, my husband has done everything he could to make the washer run properly. We were told by the repairman to raise the hose because the water was draining out of the tub. We did that and to this day there is not enough water in the tub and our clothes and towels continue to smell like mold. I clean the wash machine with the special cleaner, but it doesn't take a genius to realize the clothes are not being washed in water because there's not enough in the barrel.

I bought a GTWN3000MOWS washing machine from Lowe’s in September or November 2010. I went back to the store and told the salesman that sold it to me that it made loud noises when it changed gears during the wash cycle. He said that was just the machine and it would work its way out - not to worry. Well, I am worried. I had a used washer and dryer for 5 years before I bought a new one. And I decided to, just in case, buy a new one when I got enough money saved. Well, now my machine will not spin out all the water and I have to re-spin the cycle and the loud noises are still there. It is so loud I can hear it on the other side of my house when I am watching TV and it really upsets me that I trusted my salesman when he told me that it was just the machine and not to worry. I did not get an extended warranty because I have never had any problems with a washer or dryer before.

I have a GE front-load washer that I purchased in 2008. It has ripped clothes, shredding them to pieces, and has an awful smell that stays on our clothes. I have been on hold for 30 minutes waiting to talk to someone about this. What can I do?

We purchased a brand new GE top-load washer GTAP1000M from Tepperman's in Windsor, Ontario on May 30, 2012. Today, July 30, 2012, I still have a washer that does not spin out after wash or put water in to rinse. They changed the timer a couple of weeks ago. No change. Now when trying to contact Transglobal Services, who deals with warranty, to talking to Stephania at Mabe, the company that deals with all appliance companies in Canada, I just get the runaround. My advice, buyer beware!

On 7/1/2011, I was washing clothes and the washing machine model WHDVH626FWW was smoking so bad. I had to call the fire department to my home. I called the consumer line to file a complaint about the product. So they wanted to send a tech out to check it, and they did. The tech came out and explained what had happened, and I told him what the fire department said also. The fire department called to see what happened about the issue. The tech was saying how much the replacing parts were, which by that time you can buy a new one. So in the effort of GE wanting to help, they only offer me a prorated amount for a machine I paid over $1,000 for and the pedestal that goes under it. I have the dyer also. It's ok. So all your products are only supposed to last 5 years, and that's it. For the kind of money, it should give at least 10 years. I had the extended warranty on it, and they had come out a few times after buying the appliance. It's very understandable how you all take care of the consumer when all you have are complaints one after another.

I called in December 2011 due to a broken washer motor (model wjre550k2ww). They told me I couldn't have it fixed by a GE-certified repairman due to where I live. So, I called a local repair shop that replaced the motor. Now, the replacement motor is dead. The washer was purchased in December 2009.

GE front load washing machine, model WCVH6800JWW, takes more time to wash a load than what is selected for the cycle because it constantly has to stop and readjust the load. The machine rocks off balance every 3 wash loads. Due to the rocking and vibrating of the machine across my laundry room floor, my floor tiles have slipped out of place, broken and chipped. I've already had broken shocks replaced once about 8 months after purchase. Many times, I have to put on the spin/rinse cycle after the first cycle didn't rinse or spin. I suspect the shocks are broken yet again, but since I don't have warranty on this product, I will not pay to have it fixed. I hate this machine and will never buy or recommend this product again. Machine was purchased in 2008. I've had trouble with it for the past 3 years. Too much money for such an inferior product. Cost was $758.14.

I purchased a GE washer from HHGregg 2 years ago. I was told I'd get a rebate if I sent in all paperwork, I did, twice. I never got my rebate. I absolutely hate this washer model P620. First off, all you get is no water to clean your clothes. When it spins, your clothes are in knots. It takes 1 hour for a cycle. I will never buy a GE product again.

I purchased GE front load washing machine Model WCVH6600H1MS and once again today, I removed clothing that had tears and holes in it. I have lost count of the number of times that this has happened to and of course it is the better clothing items! I will never purchase another GE product and am very disappointed that a large company like GE never did anything to compensate the consumer for its loss. It also has to shake extremely loud and gets out of balance very easy.

I always buy GE and always Profile in all appliances but this washer I bought is $800.00 of junk. I wish GE would buy it back! It is a Profile top load model MFL42065483. I cry almost every time I use it! I have a family that’s always on the go. This washer has no recourse for its biggest problem an extra spin. So many times, my clothes come out still drenched with water, especially my towels. Well, in order to spin out again, I must do a rinse and spin cycle, which is like washing another load again. Don't tell me the soap must be getting on the clothes, causing the sensor not to work. I already had someone up and they told me if so much as a drop of soap or softener falls out of the dispenser, it causes problems to spin cycle.

I bought a GE Profile washer four years ago. Recently, it started to make a lot of noise during spin cycle. It cost me $79.95 to be told by the tech before he even looked at it that it was a bad bearing. His inspection confirmed it. Almost $600 repair cost. This bearing is the heart of the drive system, and it should last at least 10- 15 years, but GE has designed a lousy machine. It's cheaper to buy a new one rather than repair a poorly designed machine. It won't be a GE.

We have had our GE Washer less than a year. The instructions on the reverse side of the door are wearing away. GE Warranty blamed the problem on the user. She said it had other customers calling in about this same problem. She claimed we were using products in our washing machine causing this problem. Let’s see, there are three we use; spray and wash, bleach, and detergent. Lame excuse GE, you should be ashamed, but with your batting average for complaints, I am not surprised. GE's problem is your paint, not the user. We have bought GE products over the years but have never had a problem like this. By the way, are you outsourcing labor to other countries and not supporting the United States during the recession? Have a nice day.

I purchased a GE washer model wjre550k2ww on 2/15/19. It continually leaves scum and lint on the clothing. I have tried using less detergent, and not putting as many clothes in it. Nothing seems to work and I am thoroughly disgusted and sorry I ever purchased it.

My 5-year-old front load washing machine that cost $700.00 broke down while I was doing a load of laundry. The serviceman said I should replace it because it will cost $1150.00 in parts to repair. I am single and do maybe 3 medium-sized loads a week. I definitely don't overuse or abuse it. That is ridiculous. I am on a fixed income and really can't afford that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I have all GE appliances in my home. I no longer trust any of them. My new washer is not GE nor will I purchase GE again. Oh, and they are aware of the problem!

I bought a brand new GE washer model #WCVH6800J0MS serial# HR201603T on January 10, 2010 and started having trouble with it immediately after I bought it. I called a service man out to see what the problem was, he fixed it. Then, it started acting up again and had to call a second person to come out and fix the washer. I told GE customers service representative to come and pick up the washer and that I wanted a refund. That didn't happen because the person knew that this model was not a good model. I tried several times to get the washer picked up. But due to the bad customer service that GE offers, I still have the washer.

Washer/dryer combination unit was installed in July, 2011. In less than one year, I have had to use four vacation days to sit home and wait for service because the washer "eats" socks that end up jamming the motor. My house has been flooded twice due to this problem. I am a 55 year old woman and I've been doing laundry for over 40 years and have not had this problem with any machine I have used previously. I believe this is a design flaw. GE's consumer relations office is joke. They lie and refuse access to supervisors. I want this piece of junk taken out of my house. I will never purchase a GE appliance again!

Update: GE is replacing my HE washer with another one. They gave me a model # and I checked it out. It's not an HE low water machine, the machine I purchased in December. After the wash cycle was finished, I couldn't believe how wrinkled my clothing was. After re-washing the clothing, I found the same problem. Hopefully, I should be getting the new machine on Friday, 5-18-2012. They cannot tell me a human being tested this HE machine.

The tub exploded, hence, ruining the washer and dryer. We purchased a GE Front load washing machine and dryer (Model #: WPDH8900J1MV) for our new home in July 2009. I have never liked GE products but the builder who built our home went with GE products for everything. Today, May 12, 2012, I was doing some jeans and khaki shorts in the washer. I was folding clothes when all of a sudden, I heard what sounded like a bomb exploding in the laundry room. I went to the laundry room to find smoke, dust and the front door on my washing machine wide open. The tub on the inside had literally exploded.

We purchased a GE washer and dryer from Home Depot in January 2012. Then in March or April, the machine quit spinning. A repairman fixed it and said it was due to overloading. Then in April, it quit spinning again. The repairman said that it could have been that he didn't tighten the screw that holds everything in place. Now it is May and it is getting off balance again. I called customer service for the third time. I was told they don't replace it until the 4th service call. I really don't want the machine replaced because I have no confidence in it and the fact that you have to wait for days to get it fixed is really an inconvenience since we have 6 kids. GE customer service was of no help and would not refund my money. It's as if your time in scheduling with them and the time and cost spent at the laundromat means nothing to them. I will have to sell the machines I just bought at a loss in order to get something I can count on.

GE high-efficiency washer - My clothing come out so wrinkled and having a hard time ironing all. I wrote to GE, got a return call and was advised they were sending me a new agitator. I really do not think it's the agitator. I got a good price for the machine, but now due to the wrinkling, I now have to iron everything. That's not saving me any money. I will update after the tech installs the new agitator on the 4th of May.

I purchased a GE HE top loading washing machine in January 2011 for my Florida home (only snowbirds a few months a year). The washer only filled about 4-6 inches regardless of the amount of clothes. I called a service tech. I got a runaround that the water level is not adjustable. Clothes come out twisted and not clean due to low water, scum and order sometimes. I run a 3 feet hose from the sink and add water for each cycle. It’s a ** thing to have to do to get clean clothes. I tried to return it, but the salesman at Lowe’s said they all work that way now. I would rather have an old one with manual water level control. I can't believe there is not some pot adjustment that could be tweaked to make it fill higher. I’m living with it, but not happy. I would be happy to be part of a class action suit.

I purchased a GE Profile HE washing machine (Model WPRE6150K2WT) in November of 2011. In December of 2011, my machine went off balance and started "walking" across the basement floor, knocking over the sink and displacing the dryer. We put the machine back in place and tried to restart it but to no avail. I called Karl's where I purchased it and they told me I had to call GE because they don't service what they sell.

On January 30, 2007, we purchased a GE front load washer, model # WCVH6260FWW, for $840. On March 15, 2012, the washer started making a loud noise during the final spin. We called a very competent repairman with our local store where we purchased the washer. He said it needed a new tub! The cost to repair the tub is $625, plus installation! We called GE and they said there is nothing they can do. A washer should last more than four years! We do approximately four loads of laundry per week! Are there any recalls for this type of washer? Is there any help for us?

This is our second G.E. top-loading H.E. (low-water) washing machine. When we got the first one, the clutch broke almost immediately; shortly after that, the motor broke. They replaced the machine (Bray & Scarf, Bethesda, MD). This one leaves scum on my clothes, so I always use second rinse (does not save water). The cycle is eternal. I use the correct amount of H.E. liquid. It must use more energy than our old regular machine - it runs twice as long. Also, sheets or towels are so twisted at end of cycle you can barely get them untangled to go in the dryer. My husband says they smell. I blame the washer. I follow the directions on the washer perfectly.

Less than four years old, our GE (Model: WBVH5100HWW) washer started smoking so I called a technician to look at it. He said that the basket is broke. I called GE since he told me that Whirlpool has a 10-year warranty on parts but wasn't sure about GE. The woman at GE said that it only had a one-year warranty. She said, "I can send out one of my technicians to look at it for you." I told her I already have a qualified technician look at it from Sears and she got smart and said, "Well, he can't offer you a five-year warranty on replacement parts."
