Horrible
on July 19, 2023
Posted by: Jessica95
The washer and dryer do not last. The washer quit first because a bearing went out. Then our dryer caught on fire which is a huge concern!! Luckily it was a small fire and didn’t burn the house down or kill us all. Very disappointed in the quality of these. We went back into our 90’s topload washing machine and that somehow still works better than these.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Almost caught on fire
on September 28, 2023
Posted by: Disappointed user 2023
from Alabama
We obtained the u it via a home purchase. The unit worked fine but one morning a burning smell was found and we found the upper control panel smoldering. It appears the circuit board overheated and possible melted wire insulation leading to a small electrical fire.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello - Thank you so much for connecting and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear about the motherboard sparking. That is not the kind of experience we want or expect.

With this in mind, we are going to forward this over to our product team to review. That way they can review and look into ways that we can improve on our models going forward. Also, we are going to have one of our agents get in touch over email. This way we can collect some additional information.

We look forward to hearing from you. - Jonathon@GEAppliances

DANGER! DO NOT BUY THIS OR ANY OTHER GE PRODUCTS
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: JNS7487
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT OR ANY GE APPLIANCES! I noticed a burning smell coming from the dryer and that the clothes weren't drying very well. While checking it out I BURNED MYSELF while touching the top of the dryer! I noticed some smoke coming out of the control panel. I unplugged the dryer and removed the control panel to investigate. Low and behold the control board had spontaneously CAUGHT FIRE and melted some components on the board. Unfortunately I can also see that I am not the only one that has had this issue. This is a major safety risk and lapse in quality. DO NOT TRUST GE PRODUCTS IN YOUR HOME. If this made it's way out of the factory who knows what else did...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Electrical short / fire from Control Panel
on June 28, 2024
Posted by: Boney81
from Akron OH
Last night 6/27/24 while the dryer was running, I heard crackling sounds and smelled burning plastic. I immediately tried to shut it off and it didn’t work. I open the door and it stopped. However, the smoke continued and the smell was awful. I was finally able to unplug the dryer and removed the control panel/cover to find melted plastic, connectors and the start/ pause switch appeared to be the cause of the failure. I have not contacted customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
