Washed well, not very “HE”
on July 27, 2025
Posted by: Wastin water
from Colorado
Washes well but……8 out of 10 loads are uneven at the end, then it shuts off with in minutes so you start a drain and spin, where it adds like 20 gallons of water to “balance” it. It very HE, and it’s hard to deal with when you haul water, average an extra 20 gallons of water per load. Will probably go back to whirlpool after this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to help out with the uneven loads and out of balance conditions.
This model is a high efficiency model, so it does use less water to provide the same level of clean as traditional models.
In regards to the out of balance conditions, we recommend first checking that your washer is completely level to the ground. You can adjust by rotating the leveling legs located on the bottom of the unit. It is also important to be mindful of how the washer is loaded. The best way to achieve a balanced load is to load dry items evenly and loosely around the outside of the basket, filling in towards the center on larger loads.

I love this product
on July 15, 2025
Posted by: Mehe2002
from Palatka, Fl
I really like everything about this product except it’s too high. I have to stand on tip toes to get all of my clothes out. I love the color and the Bluetooth capabilities so it lets me know how long I have and when it is complete.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Was a good product, until…
on May 26, 2025
Posted by: BreRH
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I read many of the reviews on this dishwasher that I purchased back in 2022 and just like many of them at first it ran great, but after several months, it began making lots of knocking noises and doing a lot of balancing I thought maybe it was moved and that’s why it was doing that, but it is also not draining all the water out so I almost have to do a quick wash or another spin to get the water out I am disappointed in the washer now that I know that it’s not something I did wrong. I also did register the product when I received it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to assist you with your washer. With the unit getting off balance, we recommend pausing it and redistributing the load. Also, the more the legs are extended, the shakier the washer will be during operation. To level the washer, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. We recommend referring to the article below for more helpful tips:
https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17445
As far as the draining, there may be an issue with the drain hose, pump, or lid switch. You can refer to the troubleshooting tips here: https://repair.geappliances.com/resources/faq/article/why-wont-my-washing-machine-drain
A member of our team will reach out to you via email to gather more information. Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Would not buy again
on April 7, 2025
Posted by: CIK25
from Texas
Was only quiet for the first few weeks. Says energy efficient but it consistently refills to balance during the spin cycle, wasting more water and energy. The detergent dispenser clogged in the first month, continues to clog so stopped using it. Just used for a little over 5 years and now the agitator does not work and the inside started to rust and white (what seems to be plastic) is coming off the inside.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible: Won’t Drain Bulky Items
on March 2, 2025
Posted by: Horrible I
from Omaha, Nebraska
This is one of the worst washing machines I have ever used; if you put in anything larger than a medium load it will not drain. Instead, it continues to “balance” the items by continually adding more water in the drain and spin cycle, which is incredibly inefficient and a waste of energy. I bought this washing machine to wash, comforters, sweaters, and jeans, but you can forget it because not only does the washing machine not function, have to hand-ring these items. “Smart” devices are often exactly the opposite. I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from wasting money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible Washer
on March 2, 2025
Posted by: PLZ1123
from Hazleton, PA
I have had nothing but trouble with balancing this washer. It’s suppose to ‘self-balance’ and does not.
I bought it so I could wash my queen comforter. Never again.

We recommend resetting your washer by disconnecting power from the unit for 2 - 3 minutes and reconnecting power. If this reset does not revert the unit back to normal operating function and allow for proper spinning, this will require service by a qualified technician. You can schedule an appointment with a GE Appliances technician by calling 1-800-432-2737 or schedule online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm

Horrible reliability
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: San777
from Cincinnati Ohio
I've only had this washer for two years and has stopped working. It won't spin or drain now. In addition, it stays out of balance and use to spin so aggressively that there is a hairline fracture in the lid. If this is how 'GE" branded appliances work, I won't be purchasing anymore GE products. I must now pay an expensive repair or replace it all together.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
