GE Washing Machines Reviews

This dryer (Model GFDR485EFMC) broke on me the second day of use. It took GE 6 weeks+ to repair (at least I hope it is finally working properly).... along the way they had back-ordered parts, accused me of ripping out the moisture bar, changed an appointment time at 7pm the night before, sent the wrong info after they offered to extend the warranty 6 mos., and refused to replaced any appliance within the first year of purchase regardless of their inability to repair it in a timely fashion. Both the dryer and GE as a company have been unable to perform in a satisfactory manner.

I bought a NEW GE Washer and Dryer from HHGregg in March of 2014; I have called for service issues 3 times regarding NOT being able to use Fabric Softener due to it bleeding all over the clothes. They did have the audacity to ask if any clothes had been ruined and when I responded "I just have to keep re-washing the laundry" they stated well as long as it is not ruining clothes it's really not a big deal... EXCUSE ME! Do you know how annoying it is to re-wash what is supposed to be CLEAN laundry??

After 18 months of owning the GE PROFILE TOP LOAD WASHER 4.4 CU.FT., it has been nothing but a disaster! Oil and water are leaking from washer. When the washer is spinning it sounds like an airplane taking off.. (honestly, that is not an exaggeration). In the midst of the rinse cycle it just "times out".... At the end of the drain and spin cycle it starts adding water and it does this continuously so the cycle never ends!! Certain cycles do not work at all so I have to choose an alternate cycle.. (i.e. short cycle does not work any more so I have to choose another cycle). It does not clean clothes very well and I often have to re-wash the load. The washer also moves and shakes during cycle! Today I called for a service technician to come look at it and he told me to try not to use it and if I do to never leave the house while it's running... REALLY?! I am totally shocked at how horrible this washing machine is...

I bought a washer/dryer in april 2013. The dryer has stopped working. And it isn't even paid for yet! Thanks a lot ge.

We shopped around and bought this to replace a 14 year old washer that started having issues. Now we have more issues. First thing we noticed is this washer will not rinse clothes clean unless you always use the Power Rinse Option. This machine is constantly off balance, nearly every load (whatever the size) makes it thump and jump and rattle around. In the last 3 days it has been off balance so badly that it has displaced the entire tub inside the washer so it rubs the inside of the case. The plastic lid that caps the inner and outer tub is broken in two places where it has contacted the frame of this washer. I have taken the front off both times and there are two little ears that sit down between 2 sheet metal bars, apparently there to keep the drum from moving too far to the right or left (and also to hold the shipping rod in place). The off balance situation caused one of the ears to bend and the entire unit (Drum is suspended by rods from the upper frame of the unit, which is thin sheet metal that has bent from the off balance conditions) had shifted over about 3 inches at the bottom, causing the belt to rub on a hose in the bottom of the washer.

GE - model# GTWN4250M Hydro-Wave Energy Guide Washer. I Hate This Washer! We purchased a brand new GE Energy Guide Washer from Lowe's. We Bought this Quality Washer anticipating it would last at least 15yrs. My washer does a very poor job of getting my clothes clean. I have tried everything and nothing works, even running the same load 2-3 times and comes out the same way. Dirty!!! Since I have had this Washer many odd things have happened.... Same problems as everybody that have complaints/reviews about the GE Washer. Not enough water, Sluggish Agitation, Very Wrinkled Cloth and leaves lots of lint on the clothes that you just washed and very Dirty Clothes.... Not Clean Clothes!!! This Machine does not Clean. I would get rid of this machine but like everybody else it's too expensive to buy a new one. I Paid over $600.00 for my GE but, I will never buy "General Electric" Brand again. Soo!!! Bye GE.

My touch screen stop working, I ordered the replacement part #3850EA4011A. They changed the part so it now has four ports and the old one has three. I called and asked what's the deal with this and I was told "Call a repairman," "Now we have an adapter," or "you need to do this or that". It crazy they send you a replacement part that's not right.

Do not purchase the GE Profile washing machine with the little low agitator. There is no water setting, so you only get what water level it deems and it is never enough. I have scum all over my clothes, and have to hand wash to get off. I hate this washer, and really wish GE would come pick it up. Of course, unless I pay for a new washer, it will continue to pretend to wash my clothes - a really crappy product. Do not buy this, even if it's free! My other GE products are much nicer. Hey, GE, bring me something that works. Thanks.

GE HYDROWAVE model #GTWN4250D1WS. DO NOT BUY THIS WASHER!!!! Worst washer EVER!!!! Extremely low water level!!! Can barely wash just one set of sheets!!! Forget large loads!! Lucky if you get a SMALL load washed! Of course we purchased the extended warranty & the repair person came out said that's just the amount set by government standards!? I have to drag my water hose inside to the washer to put enough water in it just to do a medium load!!!!! Also the "computer" part of it "thinks" more than it washes!!!

I bought a G.E washer in 03/03/2014 and have had nothing but headaches with it.... It doesn't wash clothes, clean clothes, go in the soak cycle without the button being pressed. Fabric softener won't release the softener even though the softener button cycle has been pressed. Water left in the bottom of washer after cycle is finished even though the lights are all off. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. G.E. replaced the washer last week and replaced it with the same product model #GTAN5250D1WW and same problems all over again.

GTWN4250D0WS - Bought this washer from Best Buy about 18 months ago. Now makes squealing noise in spin cycle. A washer should last longer than 18 months. Do not buy from GE. I have a refrigerator where the ice maker stopped working after 2 years. They obviously make junk and it appears to be a corporate trait. GE used to be a brand that you could trust. People say "buy American" and when you do you get poorly designed, poorly manufactured pieces of junk that don't last. Do not buy GE.

I bought the a washer on November 2011. The washer start having issue after a year and a half. The drum broke after in less than 3 years. I research the issue and like is a bad engineer design. I contacted GE on 6/22/14 and they tell me they can help me only with a discount. The washer model is WCVH4800K0WW. I think this is very bad product where GE profit selling a breakable device in less then 3 years. Thanks for your help.

We purchased a brand new GE energy star washer and dryer from Lowe's when we bought our new home in 2010. We decided to get a quality machine in anticipation that it would last us 15 or so years. After 2 1/2 years, we had multiple issues (spin cycle did not work leaving all water in machine and clothes soaked, not washed properly) and had to have the motor replaced. This cost us only $80 for the service call. An 'additional part' was ordered and we were supposed to have a follow up, but no parts ever arrived and no one ever followed up. After the repairs, the machine worked well for awhile but we began having the same issues a few months ago.

I purchased a GE Washer- Model # GTWN4250D0WS July 2012... Right away within a few months I had issues with the agitator breaking because it spinned way to fast!!! And it was fixed under warranty with GE's service repair company. I believe it was the MOTOR that was replaced... I was told by the service tech then that the motors that come with the washers were not good!!! Well, here it is 2 years later and the motor went out again! I am very, very furious about this because I paid a good amount of $$$ for this washer (like $600)... I should not be having issues with it this soon, not for another few years or so anyway!!! I have spoke with 3 appliance repair companies who said this model with GE is very bad about the motors going out within the first few yrs...

This is the second GE washer I have purchased in the past five years. The first was a low flow. I couldn't give that one away. The one I have now is a GE GTWP1800DOWW and it doesn't fill up with water and it is suppose to. Yes I unplugged it and cleaned the filter and it still will not fill up without me standing there and resetting the switch. Oh and the agitator broke after about a year after the warranty went out. I have put enough money in repair parts to send both of them dryer included to college. GE does not bring good things to life.

We bought our HE top loading GE washer about 4 years ago. After a year, we started smelling an odor about our clothes. I researched online and found some washer additives call "Smelly Washer" and Smelly Towels" products that seemed to help cut the soured smell in our clothes. Even so, when the clothes came out, they don't smell fresh. It seems now those products are no longer working. I phoned GE today to ask what to do about this problem and my nice case manager said it couldn't be their machine and it had to do with the water flow into and out of the machine. I explained to her that our plumbing was just changed to copper piping a couple of months ago. She said it had more to do with the source of the water.

A GE top loading washer that was 16 months old, stopped spinning then stopped agitating, rinsing and spinning. This machine had extremely low usage - average 2 loads per week. A local technician came out and the motor had blown. GE Consumer Affairs began sympathetic stating that should not have happened so soon.

Purchased this machine and the base. Always thought something was wrong with it because of the out of balance issues we had with it. The machine wouldn't spin out the water, the water ran into the bases, ruining several shoes that we stored. The noise got louder and louder, and within the week: smoke, and the smell of burning. We pulled out the warranty paperwork since we had an extended warranty and called the company only to discover the company dated our warranty to when it was purchased probably by the store and not by us as the customer, therefore, no warranty. Called a repairman who said to scrap it. What an expensive lesson to learn. GE just found themselves rated with Frigidaire.

I bought this from Lowes. Two years later, after some of the loudest wash and spin cycles in my life. So loud that I had to turn on subtitles while watching videos two rooms away with a closed door. Plus the main tub seal failed exactly two years and ten days after installed by Lowes. After some effort to find someone to service it, the local GE repair person said to not bother, they are hard to work on, unreliable, and the same parts typically fail time and again in shorter and shorter times. He offered to work on it but he advised me to set in on the curb and buy another machine. It's two years old, started out as loud and annoying and is now about to end up on the curb with the rest of my household trash. Very frustrating.

Purchased a brand new GE153 washer and dryer hydro wave. Also would like to add after my experience, couldn't find not one good review. Not one. GE needs to take this washer off the market. Anyway, used the washer for the very first time and it was extremely loud, banging around, sounds of metal scraping or grinding. You could hear this throughout the entire house. I had no idea what was going on. Long story short, upon reviewing, this washer is unacceptable and falsely advertised. Really thinking about suing. My God, it's brand new.

I have had continuous problems with the GE Profile top load washer that I have had for 3 years. I even bought an extended warranty. This was to no avail. This washer has ruined several black and white pieces and I am at my wit's end. Please advise what I can do other than suing the company for compensation for clothes and the machine.

We purchased a front loading washer & Dryer 5 years ago. I always thought something was wrong with the washer. We purchased the extended warranty. I had the repairman come out right before the warranty expired and he said "I was loading it wrong". The water leaking into my pedestal was a non-issue according to him, the shaking was a non-issue according to him. It was all because I was not loading it full enough and accurately enough. Well, 3 months after the warranty expired, it started rattling, loud noise on spin cycle, burning smell and smoke coming from it.

NEVER, EVER consider buying this washer. It NEVER uses enough water to clean your clothes. It NEVER agitates enough so that the clothes cycle from top to bottom. It NEVER fills the washer with water for the rinse cycle unless you select "second rinse. " It only "spritzes" the clothes with a few drops of water for the rinse. Worst of all, the water temperature selection is a FRAUD ON THE CONSUMER! If you select "Hot," the hot water will indeed enter the machine for a few moments - THEN cold water comes on to finish filling the machine.

GE Hydrowave - The worst washer I have ever owned. Clothes come out with some type of dirt residue, and one spin does not sufficiently spin the water out of the clothes. And you can forget about the sheets/towel cycle, it never completely spins out water. I was shown, by a GE tech, a small plastic box on side of tub that fills up with soap scum and dirt. This is released back into the wash. He told me to use a product called Affresh to dissolve it. Well that didn't work neither did a host of other products including degreaser, vinegar, bleach, etc. My machine is less than a year old and I have had 2 service calls already without satisfaction.

We purchased our GE front loader and dryer 7 years ago. Last July, the gasket shredded and we had to pay $150 for a new one, including labor. Yesterday, I went to put a wash in and during the spin cycle, it started making a loud banging noise along with smoke and the smell of rubber. I had a friend of mine who used to work for GE take a look and said that it looked like the drum and some other part needed to be replaced and that one part would be about $300 and another about $400. I called GE and they would not help me at all.. but said they could schedule someone to look at it for $99. I said "forget it". We ended up buying a new LG top loading washer.. It will be here on Saturday. I will never buy a GE Front loader again.

We purchased this unit (GTWN4250DWS) from Lowe's 3/16/12. Within 6 months, the motor burned out. Service was done under warranty and resolved. Thereafter, intermittent problems with electronics hindering the unit's operation. Finally, 5/6/14, unit fails to start as if no power related to electronics. Given my experience and the poor reviews written on this unit, I'm surprised GE has not make a recall. I'm very disillusioned with GE product and performance. Chances are high I will never purchase a product from them.

In 2007 when I built my new home, I purchased a GE Profile Washer and Dryer, believing that they were reliable appliances. I had left behind in NJ a 17-year old Maytag machine that still worked like new. After only a short time I began having problems with the washer; it would "time out" during the rinse cycle. I had a repairman come more than once; unless I could recreate the problem it could not be fixed. This has been an ongoing problem that has now become worse. I will never purchase another GE product.

My GE washing machine is 7 years old. It made a loud noise and smoke was coming from the drum. I called a repair person and he said the bearing went bad and I would need a Rear and Front Tub and Basket. Parts were going to be almost $900 and labor between $200 and $250. So I called GE on 4/28 and explained that is unacceptable for a product only 7 years old. They told me they would sell me the parts for $235 and give me a credit of $100 towards the labor or give me a discount on a new washer.

We purchased a General Electric He Washer Model GTWN4250M1WS in July 2011. In early April 2014, the washer began leaking from the bottom. A local repairman spent about 45 minutes evaluating the problem. He enumerated several items that need repair, most of all specifying a transmission problem. Also, he said the the cost of repair would be worth more than the machine itself. I contacted GE with the details. A customer service rep responded, offering a discount on a new washer or assistance with the cost of repair. Our contention, however, is that a washer used by a family of three should not fail in less than three years. GE will not replace the washer or repair it free-of-charge. My wife and I do not want to pay to have the washer repaired, especially after noting the high frequency of repair ratings for GE washers - both top and front loading - by a well-known consumer magazine. We will continue to press GE for full repair or replacement. Needless to say, we will not purchase a GE product in the future.

Prior to my present washing machine I have owned six top-loaders and one front-loader over a span of 49 years. Only the Westinghouse front loader was a problem a leaking door seal. The rest of the machines Maytag, Hotpoint, Kitchen Aid, Kenmore and Whirlpool all were passed on to needy families for extended lives when replacement washers were purchased. None ever went kaput.

The washer (top loading hydrowave washer - energy star) stopped agitating and spinning, 2 months and 4 days after warranty went out. I didn't bother trying to force them to repair my washer. If they can't build a washer that lasts longer than 1 year, I surely don't trust their repair technicians. I will start making the repairs myself, unfortunately. It really angers me that an American company, with a CEO who is put on an important advisory board for the White House (Jobs Council), is in charge and influencing decisions. His job policy, build shoddy products so people will have to buy more of them - great for the economy, creates jobs because people have to replace them more often. Not really a forward thinker in the realm of environment and economy, long term. He should be spending his time standing behind the integrity of his products. Oh and by the way, he's venturing into aviation. If he puts as much integrity in his aviation sector as he does in his appliance sector, take a train!

This is the WORST washing machine ever made! DO NOT BUY this machine. There are serious design flaws that GE will not address. To begin with, there is a space at the bottom of the agitator that catches bra straps, hoodie straps, panties and then tangles the garments with anything long sleeved so that pulling the clothes out is like untangling a ball of yarn. There is not enough water to clean the clothes and the agitator is PLASTIC so there is a soap residue which must be manually washed off. It is unreasonable for a consumer to be expected to wash an agitator in a washing machine!! GE customer service claims that since the washer is operating as designed, there is nothing they can do. When pushed, they will offer 50% discount on another one of their inferior products. These are serious design flaws that cannot possibly be known to the consumer until after purchasing and using the washer. I was a loyal GE customer for 35 years - not anymore. I am totally disgusted with GE.

Purchased in 2011 from Home Depot and paid over $1300.00. We've been paying through the nose ever since. 3 repair calls and 3 years later, having to replace both units for failing abysmally to wash, dry and the repairmen who are "certified" are worse! Thanks GE for screwing me out of my hard-earned money!

Have a GE washer model number gtwn4250dw less than a year old. Have had 2 tech look at it. Makes loud banging noise. Case # is **. Call GE; they said there was nothing they can do to fix it. The tech wrote up it washes all right, just the drum hits the cabinet on the washer and there is no way to fix it. He also said if replace, the other will do the same thing. The washer needs to be taken off the market. If I could afford to buy a new one, I would and it wouldn't be a GE or from Best Buy. I feel like it should be replace with a better washer that ain't going to make these noises.

I Purchase a GE frontloader washer & dyrer (complete set black) in 2007.Model # WCVH6600HBB Purchase extended warranty that expire 10/2014. Paid a tech 96.00 to come tell me this machine is done! Spinbasket Drive is separating from Shaft Assembly is the problem .

I purchased the GE #GTWN4250DWS machine and have had nothing but problems with it since day 1. The repair company has been out numerous times to fix it and now it is broken again. You name it and it has broken (agitator, tub, motor, start button, etc.). I will never purchase another GE appliance!

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.
