Customer Ratings & Reviews

This washer is a high-efficiency washing machine with a system that requires less water while providing effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback.

To improve wash performance, use the correct amount and type of detergent, load carefully, and select the right amount of water and settings for your load size. Keep the lid closed during the wash cycle. When cleaning your sheets, we recommend changing your water temperature to warm or hot if you aren't already. Step 1: Select the right amount and type of detergent. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended amount for your load. Pre-treat stains if needed. If your washer has an infusor or precise-fill setting, you should use HE (High Efficiency) detergent. HE detergent is a low sudsing detergent. Contrary to other applications, suds in a washing machine can reduce cleaning performance.

Step 2: Loosely load the clothing into the washer basket around of the outside of the basket. Pouring and/or compacting the load can lead to poor cleaning performance and increase wrinkling and tangling. Do not wrap items around the agitator just place the sheets inside.

Step 3: Close the lid. Select the settings for your washer cycle. Several washers can select the correct amount of water. Clothing that floats in the water may not get the optimum turnover to clean properly. Keep the lid closed during the entire wash cycle. Note: You may want to add a couple towels to the load and use an Oxi additive along with your detergent to help sanitize and get them cleaner.

We want to help you with the sound level of your washer. We recommend checking that all 4 of the unit's legs are properly leveled. If needed, you can adjust the leveling legs by rotating the individual leg in the proper direction for up or down. You can find additional information in the article titled "Top Load Washer - Wet Clothes Concerns" on the GE Appliances website.

If the issue persists after troubleshooting, we recommend reaching out to our Bodewell service team at 1-833-426-3393 to schedule an appointment.

Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to reach out. Smart washers and dryers connect to WiFi in one of two ways: Bluetooth connection or by entering an assigned password. We will cover both processes below.
Open the SmartHQ app and sign in. From the Welcome screen, select your brand of appliance, appliance category, and the type of appliance you’re trying to connect. Make sure to allow location access if you're prompted on your smartphone.
Turn on the appliance and initiate the WiFi by following the directions on the SmartHQ app. Once activated on the appliance, the WiFi LED on the display will flash.
If you see a popup screen asking to pair the appliance (Bluetooth):
Select it from that popup and continue.
Choose your home WiFi network from the list.
Select it, enter your WiFi password, and click “Connect.”
If you're prompted to enter a password:
Find the Connected Appliance Info label on the appliance. The label contains the network name and password.
Type in the password from the Info label.
Go to your phone's WiFi settings and choose the network name found on the Info label. This will start communication between the SmartHQ app and the appliance.
When successful, the "Choose home network" screen will appear. Find your home WiFi network and enter your WiFi password to connect the device back to your home network. If you do not see your home network on the list of WiFi networks, choose the "Other" option and enter your network name yourself.
The connection process will begin. The WiFi LED on the washer will stop flashing and will remain solid. Your SmartHQ app will alert you that it’s Connected.
For some models, Bluetooth setup won’t be activated right away. You can manually input your washer or dryer's assigned password to begin the setup by following the "If you're prompted to enter a password" steps above.
For further assistance with the setup of your appliance, call the Connected Home Support Line at 1-800-220-6899, Monday -Friday 9am - 11pm ET, Saturday - Sunday 9am - 3pm ET. We hope this information is helpful. Best regards. -Don@GEA

Hello- Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are sorry to hear that your washer unit is noisy while its washing. We can list the normal sounds you may hear from the unit to make sure its running properly. We found that information in the use and care manual on page 24 here- https://content.syndigo.com/asset/0e2ba3f9-96f6-42c7-a046-156d07c867eb/original.pdf. If there is anything else we can help with in the future please let us know. We are happy to help! Take care- Dianna@GEA

Hi there - We recommend the use of HE detergent with all our washer models. If you're not using HE detergent, this could cause residue buildup. We also recommend closely following the usage directions on the detergent to ensure you're using the right amount of product as using too much could cause this issue as well. If you have any questions, let us know. We're happy to help. Julia@GEAppliances

We hate to hear that your unit is not working after such a short time. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are confident that once the problem is resolved, you will love your washer. Let us know if we can assist with any other concerns. All the best.- Kianna@GEA

Hello- Thanks so much for your purchase! This is a beautiful set! It is normal to hear certain sounds that you may not be used to hearing. A drumming noise is caused by air being pushed out of the basket towards the outer case. This causes the cabinet/outer case to move in and out which may sound like someone is beating on a drum. We have a link with normal sounds that you will hear from your new washer on our site if you'd like to check them out. We also have some optional Anti-Vibration pads that may help! If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are always happy to help! Joyce@GEA
