Posted .Hello there - We're happy to hear you're enjoying your new washer. This model is designed with an impellor instead of an agitator, and an agitator cannot be added into the unit. We apologize for the miscommunication. If you have any questions about the wonderful features on this model, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help you have the best experience with your appliance! Julia@GEAppliances

This is the worse performing washer ever.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worse washing machine I have ever had in my life. I’ve read the Quick Guide and the Owner's Guide numerous times. It does not clean my clothes, nor my blankets, sheets, etc. The instructions vary depending on which model you have but the instructions are not clear. I wish I had never purchased it and would like to return/exchange it for a better brand/model.

Posted .Hello - Thanks for taking the time to reach out. It is normal to hear some noises when using this washer. We recommend you review pg. 28 of the owner's manual for a description of different sounds you should expect to hear from your unit. If you still feel the noise is abnormal, we recommend that you schedule a service appointment with one of our qualified GE technicians using the information on pg. 30 of the owner's manual. We hope this information is helpful. Take care. -Don@GEA

washer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure if is a good washer, but since the start button stopped working after a couple of weeks, I’m not happy. Good thing I bought the warranty and it will be fix next week. One star because a new washer shouldn’t break after < 2 weeks. The sad thing is that I choose GE over LG and Samsung because I trusted GE more.

Posted .We appreciate you sharing your experience. Your washer will make various sounds throughout the cycle. One of the normal sounds is the motor speeding up incrementally during the spin cycle to reach the maximum spin speed of 800 rpms. This operation allows for superior moisture removal and helps decrease the time needed to dry your items.

Poor Quality
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst washer/dryer set we have ever used. Washer leaves fabric softener on all clothes even using heavy duty rinse. Best Buy would not make it right when we were having issues in less than 2 weeks after purchase.

Please know that you do have a one-year warranty with us and you can schedule service by calling 833-426-3393. Our technicians are happy to get your washer and dryer working as they should.

Horrible customer service: washer installation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received washer and dryer this morning. Dryer was installed, but installers stated that they couldn’t install the washer since there was no drainage hose. I’ve contacted Best Buy Custer service and they stated they have escalated the issue. My old working washer was hauled away and the new non working one left at my house.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t like it. Doesn’t wash clothing well. Doesn’t fill water to correct amount of clothing.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .This is a high-efficiency washing machine which requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer and may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal. -- If you still prefer to have a higher water level, you can use the “Deep Fill” feature which adds 3 gallons of water to the wash load if pressed once or can provide the deepest fill possible if held for 3 seconds. There is also a “Deep Rinse” option. Lauren@GEAppliances
