GE WCVH6600HWW Front loading Washer

by Regretting this purchase
(Utah)

This washer is a DISASTER!! I've had this washer for a year and a half and have already had it repaired so many times I have lost count. It becomes unbalanced on just about every load. Washing anything slightly heavy, like bath towels, is a nightmare because the bumping and thumping of the unbalanced load shakes my whole house. I have had a GE authorized repairman out to fix this problem more than once. It never gets resolved. The thing just is not engineered properly.

As for cleaning, the washer is average at best. To really get things clean you have to use the heavy wash cycle that takes 2 hours. Yeah, 2 HOURS.

This machine has also shredded some items of clothing. (Don't ask me how a washer shreds clothing, I can't figure it out and neither could the repairman.) With this machine and its matching dryer, lint and pet hair are there to stay. Don't make the same mistake I did and buy this poorly engineered washing machine.

This washer bites!!! Constantly it is unbalanced during the spin cycles. The washer senses the unbalance and never goes into high spin but has no clue what to do about it. So it just does exactly what it did before and repeats the load bang-bang-bang. You get so fizzed off every time you here it go into this loud (and it is loud) banging session that you pray for it to blow up so you can buy a new (non-GE) washer. Your first clue if you weren’t around to hear the bang sessions is you go to move the load to your dryer and the load has gallons of water left in it. So, back to run the Spin again cycle. It bites it really does. Sad part is, GE knows this fact and does nothing to remedy it. Profits I guess are more important to this six sigma company than quality. FYI GE - take care of the quality first and you’ll get your profits.

I have the same problem Ge tole me I was loading my washer wrong! This past weekend my washer started smoking so bad I couldn't even breath! My whole laundry room filled with smoke. If we had not been home to stop the washer would it have caught fire? People we need to report these things to consumer safety before someone gets hurt!
