Satisfactory Front-Loading Washer

This model does a good job overall at washing fabrics. It also has a nice look and a large capacity. I really like front-loading models because they seem to do a better job of washing clothes as well as larger items like comforters and sleeping bags. It is fairly quiet and has a sufficient number of wash cycle options. It also lacks features that I found unnecessary, like steam cleaning and a "towels" cycle. I do wish the "default" normal cycle was still cold (like the older comparable model) vs. warm, which seems to fade and deteriorate fabrics faster.
The machine is easy to use, and I like that I don’t have to leave the door open to vent it since there is the Vent System. It’s weird that there’s no “whites” load option but I don’t know if that matters or not, I just run a regular load with hot water. I love that there is a sanitize load option, and that I have an option for extra water if needed. It’s also pretty quiet in comparison to other machines. It holds a good amount of clothes and washes my blankets without the banging you sometimes get. I’m very happy with my purchase.
I have had front loader washing machines for over 20 years. I would not go back to a wringer washing machine. I really like this GE. It has a big drum and does a great job of cleaning the clothes. Plus saves on water and detergent.
Control board failed just after 3 years. Luckily we purchased extended warranty but that took 4 months to complete and get a replacement washer. In looking at other posts this seems to be a common problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We would like to assist you with this washer and gather some additional information from you. An agent will be reaching out to you via email. Please respond to the email at your earliest convenience.
I really like the features on this washer and its cleaning performance but my biggest problem is that my clothes are coming out full of lint. It doesn’t seem to drain the lint out of the washer efficiently. I have been washing clothes for 55 years and have never had this problem before. I know there are good reviews about this washer so I am beginning to think that this particular washer that I received might somehow be defective. The inverter has already been replaced and the washer is only 4 months old. I would love this washer if it did not have the lint problem. This is a huge thing for me as I have had to use a lint brush and fabric shaver on my clothes.I would love to resolve this issue.

We’re glad you’re overall happy with the washer’s cleaning performance, and appreciate its features. We apologize that the inverter needed to be replaced and you’re now having an issue with excessive lint, and we’d like to address this.
We recommend making sure the water temperature is at least 120°F, the washer isn’t overloaded and the unit isn’t agitating beyond what’s needed to clean the load; the wash time can be shortened by using a medium or light soil wash for smaller or lightly soiled loads. We have additional tips about what to try for an issue with lint in this article: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17430.
We also suggest following the cleaning tips for the interior of the washer, which are available starting on page 20 of the manual; that's linked here: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--Q2ZqW1dH--/207c3da007ffc1f522fe0a1723081c5d6c09941e.pdf.
If you aren’t able to solve this with troubleshooting and think the washer isn’t operating as designed, our Bodewell service team can be reached at 1-833-426-3393. They are open Monday – Friday, 8AM – 8PM ET, and an appointment can be scheduled online as well, at this link: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service. A technician would be glad to examine the washer for any issues.
I have had this washing machine less than 9 months and it is broken.
