Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer's cleaning performance, large capacity, and ease of use, frequently praising its spacious tub and the inclusion of an agitator. However, a significant number of customers reported that the washer is quite loud and that the spin cycle could be improved. Some also mentioned issues with the washer's balance and occasional reliability problems. A few users expressed concerns about the lid lock feature.

    Agitator not durable

    Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The agitator does not work anymore, so now it will not spin forwards or backwards and agitate the clothes. I really liked the washer until this happened. The non-digital aspect of the washer is nice. Now we have an agitator that is worthless on a washer that we bought just over a year ago.

      Hello - Thanks for your review. We're so sorry for any inconvenience with the frequent out of balance loads. Please make sure the washer is leveled. Also, if the machine is overloaded, the clothes may not be able to move freely and may be more likely to throw the basket off balance. Viewing the short video in this link may also help: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17445. We hope this helps so you'll be able to fully enjoy your washer. We're here for you anytime you have questions! - Sharon@GEA GE_Appliances

    Absolute garbage. Made with cheap plastic parts that break easily. The locking mechanism is plastic and broke so now it doesn't do its spin cycle anymore.

    Worse machine I ever got.. A 3 year old child would do a better job by hand . The machine moves in slow motion at all settings.. It takes an hour to wash, there is absolutely NO PRESSURE of washing at any given setting.. I don't know if this is some kind of a joke.. I want the machine to be removed from my home.

    The washer did not drain the water at the end of the cycle. Makes you wander about quality control. This was replacing the same model that stopped working after 3 years of ownership. Goes without saying that I will not be buying another GE product again.

      Hi Susan,

      We're sorry to hear about this. When using fabric softener in your washer it is important to select the Deep Rinse option on the Options dial. This setting ensures that the fabric softener is removed from your clothing. We hope that this helped! Thank you so much for your review. -Michael GE_Appliances
