Ratings and Q&A

Rated 1 out of 5 by little van from We Hate It My wife hates the way the water level works. She will get the garden hose and add water to the machine.Some times it will not remove all the soap or softener from the cloths. They need to be rewashed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackie that is my name from Machine ability to add more water when needed. I have found that I am able to wash big blankets in the machine and that is a big help for me because I can't go to the laundry mat and wash plus you can put more water in the machine if you need to.

Rated 3 out of 5 by fdf1028 from Spin Cycle Is Too Sensitive and Bad Design I've owned this washer for about 5 months and when it works - it does a nice job. But when it doesn't work is another story.... I've seen several cases now where the spin cycle does not operate correctly and you are left with wet clothes when the washer completes. This is especially evident with bigger items like sheets but I've seen the problem occur on the delicate cycle too. I called customer service about this and they said the washer basket is sensitive and if you don't load the clothes perfectly balanced this will happen. I contend that I do load the clothes in properly!!! Sheets do move during agitation and I can't help that unless I monitor every minute of the cycle and keep opening the lid and adjusting the clothes. Can you believe the person I spoke to actually said don't use the "Towels/Sheets" selection when washing sheets?? Whats wrong with that picture? The Bottom line is that either my specific unit has a defect or the design is just poor. I have owned GE washers for 30 years and NEVER had any issues like this. I would call for service, but the issue does not occur all the time so it would be difficult to diagnose. This is a brand new unit and should not have these issues! Really poor.
