Dont waste your money
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this washer 3 years ago. I had to replace the control board once already. Now it needs another control board and a drain switch. Its not worth repairing at this point. Warranty does not help and neither did best buy customer service. Do not recommend. It worked great and i loved it for the first year but have had way too many problems since then.

DO NOT BUY
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worse purchase ever! Have not even had this unit for an entire 3 years and it is giving me issues. I had a tech come out and my machine had several error codes. It has the worse smell that transfers to my clothes and even leaves stains. Tech advised there is severe mildew buildup in the drum. Inverter issue, issue with the venting damper. Stay away from this!

A DUD!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washer has been a lemon. Almost every load comes out smelling moldy and worse than it went in - from day one. We have had it looked at multiple times with no solution. No one can solve the smell. Also, it rocks on the pedestal, which was professionally installed and re-installed. CANNOT recommend this - nor the SEARS service repair we received (even though purchased at BB)

Not fully operational right out of the box
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right out of the box this washer doesn't fully function. The dial turns 360 degrees but skips over 4 of the most used wash cycles (normal, quick, delicates & cold) so you are unable to use them. The light that indicates what cycle you are on also does not line up with the marker on the dial. So the dial marker can be on quick wash but the light is on Rinse & spin. The washer is also VERY loud. It sounds like a space ship taking off when in the fast spin cycle and is also very loud when water is being added to the drum.

Good--For 3 years, then died.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this washer but it only lasted 3 1/2 years before it stopped working right. These days it costs more to repair things then they are worth, so I have $1000 piece of scrap metal in my closet right now. Very disappointing when you pay more to get high end things and they don't last.

DO NOT BUY THIS OR GEEK SQUAD PROTECTION
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned this washer for just over 4 years. It will not complete any cycle it just randomly ends mid cycle. The ventfresh also doesn't do what it says it will. The washer still stinks. I purchased Geek Squad protection, what a joke that's been. They've been out 3 times (so far) and can't figure it out what's wrong with it. They just keep ordering new parts that aren't fixing it. We've been without a washer for 3 weeks now and no idea when our washer will be fixed. Very frustrated by this. DO NOT BUT THUS WASHER OR THE GEEK SQUAD PROTECTION. My previous washer lasted 15 years with no issues and still worked when we decided to "upgrade". This washer is garbage.

Do not purchase!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awful! When it works, it is great. However, it has required repairs 3 times in less than 4 years. Now it is broken again, seems the main control board has failed. I do not recommend at all. At nearly $1000 it has been a total rip off.

GE 4.8 cu. ft Front Load washer Model: GFW650SPNSN
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not purchase this washer. The first one I received, water poured down the front of the washer. Best Buy brought a second washer out and it did the same thing and the detergent drawer did not close completely. I just called Best Buy to return the washer and they worked with me and will refund the cost of the washer. The process was very easy. I will buy a different brand washer from Best Buy again.

Poor customer service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had washer/dryer combo installed. Installed washer on wrong side so can’t open soap dispenser. Have called Best Buy and they informed me I have to pay 69 dollars to reverse the door on the machine when they installed on the wrong side. Basically told me they don’t care about my business and I can return my items. So return 3000 dollars over a door reversal? I have purchased all my major appliances here recently but I suppose that means nothing. Better to lose business over a door. Smart.

Broke after 3 years, Best Buy won't service
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked ok for 3 years until it broke during a power outage. Best Buy will not service our area even though they sold, delivered, and installed it here. GE won't service the area either and local appliance repair is out of business. We are SOL and will not purchase from GE or Best Buy every again.

Garbage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am completely baffled by the positive reviews. This is the LOUDEST washing machine I’ve ever heard. We’ve called GE out twice to inspect and they said there’s nothing they can do and it is supposed to vibrate like that. Anything falls off the top because it vibrates so much. Do not buy this piece of junk

Doesn’t clean clothes
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It doesn’t wash the clothes well. Often have to rewash the clothes. If you don’t get the pedestal, it’s really awkward and difficult to clean the trap and get the dirty water removed.

Best buy sucks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dont be fooled by the cuteness of this washer and dryer set. Once your warranty expires. Like clock work something will go wrong. Stick with the old school sets. Oh and Best Buy is a piece of crap company with horrible products and horrible customer service. And the Geek squad is an absolute joke.

DO NOT BUY THIS WASHER!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This washer retains water in several locations after completing the wash cycle, causing mold and mildew to form inside the washer. I was told this is a design defect, not covered under warranty! BAD DESIGN - NO REPAIR POSSIBLE! AVOID BUYING THIS WASHER!!!

GE makes defective washers
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The washer is one month old and already defective. Technician has to replace the entire suspension system. Machine is causing electrical short in our Thermador refrigerator. Never happened with our Whirlpool. Never buy a GE when you can buy a Whirlpool.

Disappointing purchase
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a terrible product. I purchased it, and my clothes never dry properly. 1/10 times they are in a puddle of water. GE repair said everything was fine, but it continues to perform poorly. I would not recommend.

Posted .Hi there, and thanks for reaching out to us about your experience with this washer. We truly hate to hear you’ve had trouble with your clothes being too wet at the end of the wash cycle; we know that must be frustrating, especially when your service appointment didn’t determine an issue. This isn’t the ownership experience we want to provide for you. Redistributing the clothes and running a Rinse & Spin cycle will often resolve an issue with wet clothes. Making sure the washer is level so it can spin properly is also important. Checking that the filter isn’t clogged and the drain hose isn’t obstructed or kinked may help resolve this issue as well. Additional troubleshooting tips are available starting on page 27 of the manual, if those might be useful for you. If you think it might be necessary to reach back out to our Service Department, they can be reached at 1-800-432-2737 and would always be glad to assist. We hope you are able to resolve this issue with your clothes being too wet shortly, so you can enjoy your washer without further inconvenience. If you have any other questions or concerns, we are happy to offer assistance any time! -Sarah@GEA
