GE Front-Loading Washers

Front-loading washing machines have a door that opens outward—like the door on a dryer—rather than a lid that opens upward. The front-facing door locks during the wash cycle, and it is sealed tightly with a large rubber gasket so that water does not leak. Additionally, most front-load washer doors are clear so you can see what’s happening inside your machine.

Just like top-load washers, front-load washing machines offer an array of cycle settings, allowing for different water temperatures and specialized cycles like delicate. When making considerations for buying a new washing machine, one of the key points to consider is what selection of wash cycles you want to have at your disposal.

Another important component when selecting a new washer is capacity. While some shoppers associate front-load washers with smaller-capacity machines, GE front-loading washers offer capacity options that mirror the brand’s top-load home washing machine options, including both compact washers and high-capacity home washing machines.

The front-load washer design allows for exceptional water conservation. Unlike a top-load washer, which must fill the washing tub with enough water to submerge the clothes with each soap and rinse cycle, a GE front-load washing machine circulates clothing through the water. In other words, a lower water level will result in equally clean clothing, great for sustainable living.

Another benefit is the ease with which you can stack a GE front-load washer with a GE dryer since you don’t need to be able to access the washer from above. Because of this benefit, most GE front-load washers are designed to be stackable. Simply purchase a stackable GE dryer and you’re all set for making the most of a compact laundry room. If you want, you can use any extra space for other laundry essentials like an iron or a clothes steamer.
