||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first front-loader and everything I dreamed it would be. I would estimate the weight at 325 lbs, but I once loaded a 350 lb welder into my truck by myself and I had to ask a friend for help unloading this washer. He agreed, "the heaviest washer ever.".

Unfortunately, it is extra big, So I had to return it, so measure your space before buying. Of the three different sets I bought and returned, this one was definitely the best!

Foul smell when not in use
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this unit for one year now. I have no complaint about the way it wash my laundry except that There is a very bad smell coming from the machine when not in use. I have been using the Ultrafresh Vent after every use, the bad smell is still there. I am now using affresh once per month but it is annoying to spend so much money on a unit and to be unsatisfied.

Posted .If water won’t drain from your washer, it could be caused by a drain hose that is kinked or improperly connected. Straighten the drain hose and make sure the washer is not sitting on it. Also ensure that the top of the drain outlet should be less than 8 ft above the floor. -- We also suggest checking out the “Not draining” and “Clothes too wet” troubleshooting sections on page 27 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. -- If the issue persists, please reach out to us (GE Appliances) via private message on Facebook, X, or Instagram so that we may learn more about your situation. Make sure to include your full serial and model numbers, any service confirmation or case numbers you have, along with a copy of this review. Lauren@GEAppliances
