GE - 4.6 Cu. Ft. 14-Cycle Top-Loading Washer
- Key Specs
- Product Height: 46 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Depth: 27 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Height With Door Open: 56 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
- Capacity: 4.6 cubic feet
- High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
- Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
- Washing Mechanism: Impeller (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)

A: Interesting GE can be bothered patrolling forums of popular stores to answer questions & try to maintain the appearance that they care but when a less than 2 year old washer with a 2 year warranty starts leaking, they can't be bothered to respond to e-mails.
Q: Is this washer quiet or noisy?
A: If you need a quiet washer, this one is not for you. That's the only negative thing about it however. Otherwise, it's an excellent washer.
Q: Does this washer get off balanced frequently?
A: Hi John- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our GE Series Top-Load Washers! Rest assured, model GTW680BSJWS features Auto Balance Suspension System. The washer tub moves freely within our exclusive balance system. It is a rod and spring floating suspension, designed to withstand extensive out of balance situations. Thanks for checking with us. Enjoy!
A: I have had Samsung washers and dryers in the past and decided to give this GE a try and have been very satisfied. I’ve never had any issues with the rinse/spin and drying times seems much faster than my Samsung sets. Definitely happy with my purchase.
Q: Alot of reviews stated this washer is very noisy . I'm concerned
A: Hi - we don't find it noisier than others but it is an annoying unsteady noise. Hope this helps.
A: I posted this question and called the GE people, too. However, they thought it had to do with the lid latch. So they just sent us the parts for them, but they weren’t the issue. My husband was feeling the inside of the machine near the lid latch and found that some sort of plug that connects the lid sensor and the machine was disconnected. He put that in more securely and the machine works beautifully. I also thought it had to do with the sensor of the lid and the machine was not communicating. . . So the machine thought the lid was not closed and wouldn’t lock. Whew! I hope this machine last, because we do love when it works. I love that it doesn’t have the agitator tube in the middle and spacious inside. And it cleans the clothes very well. What worries most is how long this sensing thing will last. . . It’s too computerized(?).
