Noisy, but I must say overall everything else is great with this washing machine. Cleans fantastic, holds larger blankets, and also holds larger clothing loads. Very satisfied with our purchase!
First wash cycle ever, when it starts it’s spin cycle it makes loud screeching sounds and smells like burning plastic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A squeaking sound can be caused by the washer not being properly leveled. If this doesn't resolve the sound issue, or if the smell continues, please make an appointment with one of our Bodewell technicians, by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or visit this site: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
I purchased this appliance due to value, delivery and Sale for Memorial Day and price. Was very pleased with delivery. Ok for a single person doing about 1 or 2 loads a week. Being careful not to overload because of 4.0 capacity. A little on the noisy side and not pleased that G.E product is made in another Country.
