Started getting door error code and now being told it is mother board issue. Repairs were quoted at $780. Might as well buy a new one and I am stuck bc we have to have stackable and dryer still works

Great washer, bad delivery
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love the new washer. We do not recommend the Geek Squad for installation. They failed to do part of the installation (switching door opening). With the COVID requirements that we not be in the same room as the staff actually installing, we were not able to check what was/was not done. At the end, when we were allowed in the room, the washer was on and it was impossible to tell that the door had not been dealt with. We tried to get them back but their schedule did not permit it (even though I called within 10 minutes of their departure). The second scheduling was a bust because that group did not have the proper part to make the change. They ordered it and then the third try was planned. They were scheduled between 7-1. Then we got a phone call saying they would be here after 1 which was fine. Then at noon we got a call saying that they were ready for us. When I said we now had to get back home, they insisted that we reschedule. Geek Squad needs an overhaul.

Love it!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washing machine took me about 3 times washing my clothes/towels to get used to it. Once I figured it out it was amazing!! Not only does it wash amazingly, but it gets so much water out of the clothes before going into the dryer!! If you are looking for a great looking and wonderful washing washer look no further!

Good product, good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved my last GE washer. It lasted over 16 years. Hard working and uncomplicated. This GE washer is not top of the line, but, it too, is a hard worker. Who need all those electronics. This one has just enough.

Much louder than we expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife, who usually avoids the techie features, really enjoys the mobile app letting her know the status of each load and can make changes/adjustments without having to go to the machine. However, this washing machine is much louder than previous machines. Loud enough that I downloaded an app to measure the decibels, which average 75dBA (similar to a vacuum cleaner) during the spin cycle. I haven't measured the levels when the washer is filling, as we noticed that was also louder than expected. My wife has said she feels this washer is doing a better job cleaning our clothes than our previous washer.

GE FOR THE WIN!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, washing clothes faster than my previous machine, more space to put detergent, and the vent cycle is the best feature in cutting down mold and not having to leave the washer door open

Satisfied Consumer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a five star review but only because I can't predict longevity. Appreciate the UltraFresh Vent System. Do not like that my replaced Samsung Front Loader's stand does not accommodate the GE product measurements and is therefore useless.
