What Customers Are Saying
This product offers a large capacity, smart features like automatic detergent dispensing and WiFi connectivity, as well as quiet operation and effective cleaning. Many users appreciate the venting system that helps prevent mold and mildew. However, some customers have reported reliability issues, with the washer experiencing problems like failure to spin or drain, control board failures, and excessive noise and vibration after a couple years of use. While the washer may perform well initially, long-term durability appears to be a concern for some owners.

Just two Years old
Would Not RecommendWill start, but then Ends without going thru wash cycle, then "door" flashes across panel. Technician changed door lock, no luck. Hooked up his computer, it's the Control Board. Changed Control Board, no luck and the 10yr limited warranty is for the Motor ONLY!!! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY GE...

Won’t last long
Would Not RecommendWhen the washer works, it’s great. Unfortunately, we will not get more than 4 1/2 years use out of it. It has proven impossible to fix this time around.

Worked great! ..for the first 3 years

GE FRONT LOADER WASHER ULTRAVENT
Would RecommendI love it, it has a big capacity and I can do my laundry in no time especially since it can communicate via wifi to my phone. Easy to use cycles and especially the quick wash help when you don't have as much laundry and as messy. It is very quiet 🤫 during uses.

Replace parts electrical door locks.
Would Not Recommend[Employee of ge_appliances] This is our 2nd GE front load washer that has needed attention due to the mother board, door lock mechanism. The machine like our last one decides after 4 yours to quit working in one way or another. GE used to be a great product. I'm looking into Ultra lux or LG

Not worth it! I bought this 09/2023.
Would Not RecommendControl panel is broken as per the technician. I am not sure how is that happened and absolutely This is not worth the money, I also bought a Lowe’s 3 yr protection plan. They scheduled the technician the next day but they couldn’t repair it because the parts need to order and he mention it will take 1 week or a month. Which is ridiculous amount of waiting! I contacted Lowe’s protection they can’t do anything and I have to contact the third party vendor who they assigned for repair to get the s...

Buyer Beware
Would Not RecommendWhere to begin? Well let's start with at 15 months it stopped draining water, and just stopped powering on. Prior to it ceasing to work the spin cycle sounded like a C-130 aircraft taking off and landing. I can't overstate how disappointed I am with this machine. I can't in faith recommend this product to anyone, other than perhaps my ex-wife. Both she and this machine were both loud and refused to work

Problems after 1.5 years
Would Not RecommendWe bought this in December of 2023 and only 18 months later, there's a major problem where the door locks, then unlocks, then locks, and throws an error message. Since it's out of warranty, we replaced the door lock thinking that was it. Nope. Same thing. More diagnosing led to an error code pointing at the power inverter board. Replaced that, same problem. We're already $200 in with replacing parts and looking at another $200 for to replace the main board to MAYBE fix it. The 10 year limited wa...

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT BUY FROM GE
Would Not RecommendIt’s really frustrating to spend so much on a GE front load washer only to have problems after just two years—especially when the warranty has just expired. It feels unfair to have to pay for repairs so soon, and I’ve noticed a lot of others are having similar issues, especially with the main boards going out. You’d think there would be a recall if this was such a common problem, but instead, it seems like customers are left footing the bill for expensive parts. With the high price of these appl...

Great for a few yrs but! Beware!
Would Not RecommendHad this for a few yrs and door lock went out. Replaced the lock and still has multiple codes. Ge wants to replace motor, control board and inverter board! Motor is under warranty but nothing else. Really? It’s 5yrs old. Was a beautiful set until now. Now it’s giant garbage.
