Ratings & Reviews for GE Top-Load Washer (

Great features!

This by far is the best washing machine that I have ever owned. The capacity is incredible! Ive never had a problem with this washer. It is now 10 years old and alot of miles on it!

Loud

My main issue with the washer is that it’s really loud during spin cycle. It cleans and washes fine but the spin cycle is VERY loud. It used to not be that loud so maybe the bearings bad but the amount of noise it makes is ridiculous

The worst

The worst washer on the planet. A complete piece of dog feces.

Washes Fine, Breaks often.

Durability, Cycle Time... Both are problems with this model. I am about to have the lid lock sensor/harness replaced for the 4th time. The cycles take a very long time. When you choose the speed wash option, it doesn't wash very well. I'm the original owner, this wasn't a 2nd hand appliance. I don't think I'll purchase another GE washing machine.

Rusty basket

The basket is rusting. It has had a hard time filling up to the level desired. I don't like that a stainless steel basket is rusting.

Electronic issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit performs well, until it has Electronic issues, where a “reset” is required from time to time in order to work properly (lid lock issues, sensor issues, operation issues w/ valves, no spinning/draining issues).

Great Space

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing load capacity. Spin cycle is great as well!

Great Features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good Washer. Economical with lots of choices in setting. Easy to use.

I love my washer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my washer.There's so much that it can do, and it has a very good load capacity.And i'm so sad when it breaks because it's an older machine.And I don't want one of those fancy machines.I like my machine.I like that i have control over my machine and it just it's a great washer.And i'm upset because it's the little stuff Sometimes.

Lock breaks constantly

Washes fine until it doesn't. Every year I have to replace the lock mechanism because it keeps breaking and won't unlock. Every year I have a load of laundry that didn't drain properly and is locked inside, so I have to break into my washer to get it out. Absolutely terrible. I can't wait to never use a GE washer ever again.

Draining issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine consistently has a draining issue leaving our clothes super wet. We have tried to clean it and made sure that the drain hose wasn’t clogged and still the machine doesn’t drain.

Great machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had my washer for 9 years with usually washing at least a load a day. Finally bit the dust. Agitator not working.

Good product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had it a long time! Been a good washer, no issues.

Poor quality

My mom bought a matching set for my brother and wife for house warming/wedding gift. Barely used, the sensor that makes it spin went out. Fixed it at a great cost... was given to me a year later and now the washer stopped spinning yet again. Doesn't appear to be good quality at this rate of it happening twice.

Terrible - would not recommend

This washer has never worked consistently. I have fought it pretty much since I purchased it. Now it sounds like it starts pumping water, then immediately shuts off. I have tried every troubleshooting efforts possible, which work for a load or two, then quits working again. Now it won’t reset at all. My previous washer lasted 15+ years and I didn’t even get 5 decent years out of this one.

Fine washer, but with some flaws

Has the washer for nearly 10 years. Only had to replace the main board recently. We use very hot water and it has held up just fine. The biggest issues are 1. The balancing of the washer has been an issue since day one. Washer is level but if the load isn't properly weight balanced you will get knocking and even start walking itself before the safety mechanisms stop the spin cycle. This causes you to needlessly wash extra items just to balance a load. 2. The amount of water used is comical. Smal...

Horrible spin design.

This is a horrible design, the 2nd thing a washing machine should be able to do besides washing close would be the rinse and spin GE total FAIL. Replaced support springs twice so far and now FAILED again. Total junk thanks GE. Was a loyal customer for 40 years bye bye.

I’ve had nothing but problems with this

I’ve had nothing but problems first, I had to change the switch to control the settings now it won’t drain or run any cycles

Not so good

We bought this washing machine about 6 years ago. There is only my husband and myself and the clutch is gone. Cannot be fixed for a reasonable price. Does not spin the clothes all the time. Clothes are really wet. I bought it because it had the different fill levels and settings which I used. I never overfilled the washer. I can tell you I will not ever buy a GE washer again.

Great washer

I have owned this washer since 2019 it has never failed to deliver excellent service.
