GE Washer

GE Washer

We bought our Washer from Home Depot several years ago. It is a GE 3.2 cu.ft. Super Plus Capacity washer. It was not the least expensive but a good middle of the road one.

It has performed great in the years I have had it. The super plus capacity does hold a lot but it will comfortably hold 5 pairs of men's jeans. It can even do 6 but that's pushing it.

The cycles are great. There are not too many and just enough. Really how many cycles does the average person need. One for regular washing, one for really heavy soiled clothing and maybe one for delicates.

There are so many washers out there that offer all these neat features that go wasted. Just stick with a more basic unit that holds enough but still gets the job done.

This unit has a low, medium and large water fill selection. I have noticed that if I out mine on the low for really small loads that it start to leak from the bottom and not sure why. We have looked for the possible reason but cannot come up with one. I just leave it on medium or large and it's fine.

The delicate cycle is great for a women's delicate attire or even for items that say dry clean only. My goodness who actually goes to the dry cleaners anymore. The agitator does not beat the clothes up on this cycle.

I do 9 loads of laundry on laundry day. This washer keeps up with me and is still kicking after 7 years.

DO NOT BUY
by: Krissy

Had this washer about a year but hardly used because it is at our 2nd home that we have been to about 10 times maybe since we've had it. Well it no longer works, fills with water but does not agitate or spin. Called a repair man and he said GE appliances are crap. It cost almost as much to fix it as what it cost. Will never buy another GE appliance and telling everyone I can not to!

Motor Trouble
by: Diana

The washer works well, but the motor died just after a year. (Out of Warranty) The repair man tried to order a new motor but it was on back order (Lots of broken machines?)He said we should plead our case to GE. We called GE and explained that we use it less than before because the kids are grown and it's just the two of us now. They sent us a free new motor, but we still had to pay the repairman. Very annoying. No problems since then.

GE top load wash machine is junk!!
by: Anonymous

I have a GE top load wash machine. Luckly I bought a warrant. I have had the wash machine for about three years and going on the sixth transmission. I hope you get the picture. GE wash machines are complete and absolute junk. Please steer clear of buying any of their products

Knob brokw off after 2 years
by: kcook

Worked great up until the knob stop spinning. First it was hard to turn, then it wouldn't turn at all. Took the knob off and what do you know? Cheap plastic parts. Even the clip that holds the knob on is plastic. What junk. It only lasted 26 months.

Do not get
by: Anonymous

I have had this washer less than two years and it is nothing but trouble. When the water fills up it does not want to stop. It flooded my laundry room. It even overfills when it is on a small load. If I could take a 2x4 and just pound on it till I get all of my anger and frustration out I would. This washer has just been nothing but trouble.

JUNK
by: Anonymous

Had for less than 2 years and is done. Repairman told me to get a new one, because with all the parts and labor I was going to be over $200.
