Please don’t tell me this was made in America

I wish I had seen the review from boondocklady before I purchased this piece of crap, I wish I had taken the $$$$ I spent on this & had my 15 yr old machine repaired!!! I totally agree with “ boondocklady” ( Nov year ago review) After the cycle is complete, the clothes are wet to the point I would have to spend 3x more energy to get them dry. JUST SPIN THE CLOTHES P,EASE. Would not purchase again or recommend this to anyone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to assist with your clothes still being wet at the end of the wash cycle. Clothes being wet after a cycle is typically caused by an out of balance condition. It’s extremely important that the washer is properly leveled and all 4 leveling legs are firmly on an even floor space. This will help to reduce out of balance occurrences during the cycle.
Additionally, it’s important that the tub is loaded evenly, with the weight of the load equally distributed. Unbalanced loads can cause out of balance occurrences. 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. You can find instructions on proper loading, leveling, and additional troubleshooting here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000063110.

Terrible, noise level is very loud.
on December 30, 2025

from Los Angeles
Would absolutely not recommend. Not sure what is a better option. It is obnoxiously loud during wash cycle, as others have reported. Even with laundry room door shut can hear the intermittent grinding sound as agitator cycles on and off throughout the house. Similar in sound and level as videos for this model online. Have upstairs laundry so could never run at night due to noise. I have a 25 year old Kenmore this was to replace, now thinking about trying to repair it instead. Was quiet, reliable, very easy to use. cleaned close in one wash cycle. Could open lid at anytime, close and wash would continue. With this machine when open lid, have to hit start again and would start wash cycle from the beginning. The responses from GE with similar issues were to level, which was done, unplug to reset, also done and did all he other suggestions. During spin cycle, lid locks, which I understand why, but takes several minutes for it to stop and unlock so can rebalance load. Then have to hit start again because opened lid and guess what, starts from beginning wash cycle again. I read the entire manual, followed all directions. FYI on Normal(color), deep fill option is not available per manual. Deep fill option, agitator is nice, but the noise and complications in trying to manipulate the setting to get proper wash is not worth it. Buy something else. Tried to add video, but would not allow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Waste of money and lost a loyal customer
on December 20, 2025
Posted by: Ditzymudgirl
from NC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Waste of money. Bought brand new. Didn't wash right from day one. Everything loads right and follow directions. Them various loads bunch up, big and small. Have to restack, drain and spin again. Called out ge appliance tech. Said nothing was wrong. Said put it on delicate and solve the problem bc they put low water from manufacturing. Basically we put all their recommendations into place. Nothing improved. No other options. Never buying ge again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just got this washer 4 days ago I loved it now it no longer works what's the problem
Response from geappliances.comBy Vikki, GE_Appliances, December 22, 2025
If you have not already done so, we recommend disconnecting power to your washer for 2-3 minutes to reset the electronics. Also, check the outlet the washer is plugged into to make sure it is still working properly. If the issue persists, we recommend contacting our GE Appliances service team - Bodewell at 1-833-426-3393 to have your washer evaluated and repaired as needed.

New GE washer for my mother
on November 13, 2025
Posted by: Brand new GE washer
from Rio Grande City, Tx.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my brand-new GE washer, which looks sleek. I am barely on my first load of laundry and it sounds better than my last washer. Hopefully, it works well for a long period of time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such an amazing washer, so quiet and so efficient.
We bought this washer, not too long ago and it works amazing. My wife loves it, especially with the big loads like sheets and blankets.

Noisy, Poorly Designed Pile of Junk
on October 19, 2025
Posted by: 1stGENeverAgain
from Pennsylvania
I'm not going to say avoid GE appliances all together, but I will say, do NOT buy this one. At this price point, it's just an embarrassing option. From excessive noise to unclear controls to even incomplete instructions, you can do far better than this unit. This pile of junk just strikes me as a machine GE threw together before a deadline.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help out with the sound level of your washer.
It can be normal to notice some sounds when the washer is agitating and cleaning. However, if it is louder than expected, there are some things you can check. We suggest checking that your washer is completely level to the ground, as this prevents excessive vibrations. To level the washer, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. You can view more information here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=23061
We're going to be passing your feedback about the controls over to our product team to review.
