Out of balance
on March 21, 2026

Every wash, the washer shakes out of balance. My old washer never did this. Dissatisfied
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to lend a hand with your washer getting off balance. Firstly, let's make sure the washer is level. To do this, adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. You may also need to stop the machine and redistribute the load when it gets off balance.

I highly recommend this washer. It cleans and rinses really well and is affordable. You can choose the settings for wash type and temp. I am extremely pleased with its performance.
I bought this at the beginning of Feb so a month ago, and it washes but it's SOOO loud. I live in a manufactured home so the walls are thin. Its buzzed startles me constantly!

The end-of-cycle sound on your washer cannot have the volume reduced or disabled. We will pass your feedback on this signal along to our product team for review. In the manual on page 27 at the link- https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--esnlivKk--/o60hz6zrissnlkutq8qc.pdf, are the normal sounds that you will hear coming from your washer unit. If you find the sound are not normal coming from your washer, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our Bodewell Service Team by calling 1-833-426-3393 or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
I've had it for a week now and so far it's been a great washer! Makes a funny sound when it's washing but it's doing a good job! It has a lot of good features on it more than my last one which was 25 years old!

One of the features that makes this washer great is Cold Plus! When selected, Cold Plus adjusts the wash action to achieve a great clean on any wash cycle while saving up to 90% on energy costs. We'd like to provide some information on your new washer's sounds. Newer washers use newer technology so the sounds may be different from your prior washer. You can find a description for your washer's sounds on pg. 27 of the owner's manual here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--esnlivKk--/o60hz6zrissnlkutq8qc.pdf.
I've enjoyed a year of good service from this washer. However, it's quite loud while operating and SOME loads produce a high pitched tone while spinning. No serious problems, I never overload it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's no surprise that you're enjoying the cleaning performance from this model! This large capacity washer can easily handle 15 lbs. of laundry which saves you time on laundry day. We’d like to assist with your washer’s sound level. 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 ensure a quieter operation. You can find instructions on leveling and additional troubleshooting here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=000063110.
