Frustrated customer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience regarding a dryer purchase I made on February 22. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to use the appliance. I scheduled a delivery for the first week of March, and after making arrangements with my employer to be home, I was informed just two days prior to the delivery that the dryer is on back order, with the next available delivery date being April 19. I find this situation quite frustrating, especially since I have not received any compensation for the inconvenience caused. I confirmed that someone would be home to accept the delivery, yet there was an attempt to reschedule because I could not answer the phone while the driver was outside. Additionally, while I am currently on vacation in Scotland, I learned that the installation did not occur because the installer claimed that the spring valve was out of code. However, he was unable to provide any documentation and did not seem to communicate effectively in English. I am seeking clarification on these issues, as this experience has left me very unhappy, and I may reconsider my future purchases with Best Buy. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lasted Six Months
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed on June 5, 2025. It's December 16 and the washer has, for the past week, been shaking violently during the rinse cycles. We have a 2 year service plan from Best Buy but we were told we had to go through GE since it's under a year. Lots of features, but the washer broke in 6 months.

Terrible Product – Ruined Our Clothing
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This GE washer has been a complete disappointment. Despite following all recommended cleaning and maintenance procedures, mold continues to grow inside the machine and causes a strong, persistent odor. That odor transfers directly to clothing. We have had multiple pieces of expensive clothing ruined because of mold and mildew buildup inside the washer. This is not a minor inconvenience—it’s a serious design flaw. We are currently going through the warranty replacement process with Best Buy due to how bad the issue has become. A washing machine should clean clothes, not damage them. I do not recommend this product to anyone. If you care about your clothing or expect a washer to function properly long-term, look elsewhere.

Posted .We'd like to help out offer cleaning tips that can help with removing the build-up you are noticing. For cleaning the interior of your washer, we recommend using a "Self-Clean" cycle using bleach. You can find instructions on page 20 in the user manual. You will also want to clean around the gasket when leftover detergent residue is noticed. You can wipe this area and the dispenser section with mild detergent, diluted bleach or diluted vinegar. You can view more troubleshooting by viewing our article titled "Front Load Washer - Odor in Tub" on our GE Appliances website.

Loud washer and dryer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The washer and dryer is loud when the drum is rotating. I am assuming it is loud due to it being industrial strength. Love them though.

Great washer.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second washer in this series that we have purchased. We literally worked the last one until it couldn’t be repaired again. It is very durable and gets the clothes very clean.

Smart Washer, Dumb App
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Constant disconnects from the GE app. Reconnecting takes forever and often fails, so remote features are useless. Worse, the washer sometimes skips the final spin entirely, leaving soaking laundry and forcing a repeat Drain & Spin. Build quality feels cheap for the price. I regret this purchase.

The dryer is completely unable to dry clothes.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dryer completely fails to perform its basic function of drying clothes. Even after running it through 5–6 full cycles, the clothes are still damp and unwearable. It does not matter which setting or cycle is used—the result is always the same. Essentially saying the dryer is useless. For a brand-new appliance, this is unacceptable.
