Thanks for posting this concise presentation; 'Greatly Appreciate' you doing so😊 Our 25yr. old Kenmore was still functioning well, but enclosure was 'rusting out'. Hope we are as fortunate with getting many trouble-free years of service from our new GE GTW465🤞
I don't care if the noise equals the deck of an aircraft carrier. After several years of having several different machines that were beautiful and jam packed with bells and whistles, I was ready to crawl over hot coals if it would appease the washing powers. The discussions by washing researchers were sometimes unbelievably condescending and/rude. They talked about how rigidly the new machines were tested and the new machines, with their low water usage, high efficiency detergents got clothes cleaner than before. As for people complaining about clothesnot even being completely wet at the end of the cycle, clothes not rinsing and having soap visibly stuck to clothes was always consumer fault. But now I have this machine. It has a working, not fake agitator, enough water to completely submerge clothes and I can soak, agitate, soak, agitate to my hearts content! GE, I would give you my first born as tribute but you'd just give her back so I'll just say thank you for hearing our anguished cries.
@@jakoe5091 why remove the lid lock? Just lift the lid. It only locks for a minute at the start when it balançes. As soon as fill begins, the lid is unlocked until spin cycle. I have watched it work. It actually gets clothes clean. I only use the manual set cycles, left side of control, because I then get full control of the washer. Nothing pre detemined. I went through such washer garbage, almost waterless, soapless washers that I've thought about buying another and just storing it til this one wears out. All this "stripping" people are doing should show how bad washers are. Stripping laundry wasn't necessary until the new type washers came out.
@@jakoe5091 That's your complaint? Almost, if not all other new washers lock the minute you start them and STAY locked the entire time. This one is unlocked as soon as the fill starts and stays unlocked until the spin cycle starts. But the lock for the spin is just over the top, to long. I'm guessing you are a nit picker. So good luck in your quest for perfection and good by.
FYI: We just bought one of these. Be warned that the agitation cycle is insanely loud and irritating - like a dying duck. I thought the motor was broken until I did some quick CZcams searches. Nope. GE says it's normal.
Got this washer a week ago. Noise level is fine, my old Kenmore was loud compared to this GE. Time length on washing cycle depends on what you set it on. Ran max water Hot towel setting with deep rinse (fabric softener setting) and took 1hour to wash. Ran max water hot setting with heavy cycle and extra spin, took 1 hour and 10 minutes. Ran high water cold normal cycle alone and it took 45 minutes. Over all I am satisfied with this washer, hopefully nothing changes. I did get mine from Home Depot with extended warranty, just in case.
Thank you. Found what I was looking for 6:20 The whole drum moves and shifts. It's unstable and I was wondering if that was normal. And also the grinding noise is ridiculous, but I see that's normal too.
Best tutorial on this washer I've been able to find! THANK YOU!!🤩 We've always purchased Kenmore in the past but all the sears closed in our area so I had to to Google other USA made products and GE's reviews were right up there with Maytag etc. Our old Kenmore elite was the impeller type and I could fit our king comforter in it no prob ... I'm kicking my own butt for not getting the GE model with the removable agitator.😬
I just purchased this machine and running 1st load as I write this. Thanks for a simple review of the the controls. Every video had longwinded complaints on how the machine makes noise. Seems to run fine. My 20 year old Maytag finally broke. I did try to repair but the upper transmission bearing was bad. To much to fix. Got mine at PC Richard for $540.
We just got this machine last Friday and it is noisy during the wash cycle, no doubt about it. Kinda disappointed. Do you still have yours? How do you like it after living with it for a couple of months?
@@JJBolli1 I must have got lucky. The machine is in the basement so maybe I’m not hearing the noise. I will have to hang in the basement to see if it’s making any noise. I run small to medium loads and clothes come out great.
Thanks for the reply Jerry. I'm glad you're happy with the machine. If you're curious, the exact noise our machine makes can be heard on this linked video: m.czcams.com/video/HaVoiNy6kDc/video.html
@@JJBolli1 Thanks for the video link. I sat in the basement while the machine was washing a medium load. It did make a little noise like the video but not as loud. Now my old Maytag was loud but the bearings where shot as I did attempt to fix it. I must of got a good one. I had my Maytag for over 20 years and was able to fix the few times it broke but gave up and brought the GE. I just use the normal load setting. Best of luck with your machine.
I just purchased the washer and dryer not having too good of luck got a second set we’ll see how this works after some of the reviews any problems it will go back I had a whirlpool washer and dryer for 13 years dryer still works beautifully actually giving it to my granddaughter now the washer developed a leak The only reason I did not go back with whirlpool was because the drum in the wash machine was starting to rust never had that happen with other machines before I’ve had three sets in my lifetime I’m beginning to wonder now If I should’ve just stayed with whirl pool never had one problem all those years not one until the leak Welp I guess I’m going to find out because I’m going to really start using it to see how it goes the test begins
Great review. I have an older version of this machine and am replacing. Looking for a larger tub capacity for that king sized comforter. Does this model come in a larger tub size?
I just got this washer and I am missing my old hydrowave already. That machine needed a valve replacement and started making a clicking noise but wouldn't spin the drum -unless you waited a while, moved the tub, prayed to the laundry gods with a chicken bone, etc. Figured the repair cost might be close to a new washer anyways so I jumped and got this. Ugh. At least I know the grinding noise is expected but the spin cycle scares me. The whole bloody machine shakes like a terrible twos toddler and, if not for being in drain pain, I'm sure it would have moved closer to harass my dryer. I really miss my quiet, no-longer-made, ge hydrowave....
I thought getting one of these would be a huge help but comparison to all the new washers and their problematic issues. MINE is still new and I AM SO READY to take it back what a JOKE
when it goes off balance is a way to stop besides just putting the pause how can I open it it goes into lid lock yet it is still going out of control. Is there a way to stop the lid lock I do not have any children at home I do not like the fact that I have to wait a couple of minutes for the lid lock to turn off.
I just purchased this washing machine. It does not fill with water It has left detergent on my clothes , etc. I do not recommend this machine. We have tried everything And it has a grinding noise the whole time it is washing. You can take it Back and send me an old fashioned machine please. I haven’t had it for two months
Have you read the user manual? If it isn't letting you add water after you have followed the directions in the manual, then there is a problem with the machine and you need to have them come check while it's still under warranty.
Omg. After reading these reviews. I cant even return mines like some of yall on here wow. The noise is crazy and i tried 2 loads and each time they was finished the cloths like soaking wet. I tried to add extra spin but it took longer and seem like it did more than just that so id rather leave the extra spin but dang. Both times cloths like soaking wet when done i hope im not the only one. This hurts me.
I just got one today. Im not sure if its washing right, im currently washing clothes. This is what its doing, its on wash. “Noise…Noise…Noise…” so thats what its doing and i can hear the water moving. Is there suppose to be pauses in the spins?
@@jakoe5091 oh my! and that would be at whatever temperature your boiler is set to. Much prefer models with an internal heater that heat up the water instead of these hot fill design
Read the reviews for ANY other brand. You will find horror stories for all of them. Since the EPA got involved in the manufacturing process, appliance quality has gone to hell.
No, it does not. This is from the GE website..... TOP LOAD WASHER FILTERING SYSTEMS 2001 AND NEWER The Fine Mesh filters were removed from under the agitator when it was found that a better pump and larger holes in the hub under the agitator did a better job of removing lint and preventing clogs in the drain system. The drain system allows water to flow through the basket and out the bottom of the tub pulling lint, hair and small particles with the water. There is no maintenance required on this system, so there is not a way to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance.

Did you ever figure this out. I have a month old washer and I am not happy with it at this time. It does not spin well enough, and I have not figured out how to do a second spin on it.
I’m sorry, idk why y’all having issues with this machine. I have it and it washes well, it’s quiet and does not take forever. It’s reasonably priced, too.
I just received mine today from best buy and it’s just spinning. At first it was filling with water then I open the lid to add two tide pods and then it wouldn’t run properly after that I’m so pissed
For mine I tried everything and it wasn't working and then I lifted the drain hose at the back and BOOM worked like a charm and filled ALL the way up, with the Deep Fill setting of course. Turns out it was siphoning water cause the drain hose was too low and water was draining as it would fill 😢

Yea, the deep fill feature would be nice if it actually worked and pumped water in the bowl. This thing is absolute garbage. It gets absolutely nothing clean. It is by far the worst Washer we have ever owned. I want my money back so I can purchase another machine that actually works. I don't know if that can even happen at this point. Pure garbage. Green junk!
Piece of crap. Does not clean clothes. Does not get pet hair off and rinsed away. I have to lint roll everything and still pet hair!!! My old school Whirlpool worked great, I’m kicking myself for getting rid of it for this POS! Now researching Speed Queen to place after only a year! SO ANGRY!!!!!
Bought yesterday, returning! Worst machine ever. Pros: ease of disabling the lid lock. Cons: everything else. There is no brake in the machine...wait 5 minutes after pressing pause for the machine to sloooowly stop spinning before it unlocks. Washed and dried one poly/cotton king sized flat sheet 3 times! Once at medium water level, it still is full of hair and looks dirty. You cannot use this washer in the house because of the whirring sound! Does NOT filter the pet hair, lint, or anything, so you CANNOT hang on the line! The dials may as well be push buttons. It is very, very difficlut top understand what the washer is doing. Precise-fill will damage your clothes. This is really, really, a badly designed washer!
My machine is new. But recently I have noticed when it's loaded and soaking the clothing for 1 hr or whatever, it stays on soaking for hours...why is that? I wished you had gone more in depth eg... If the sensor is off how soon the load will wash etc...what to do and not do?
I have this washer, I was taking off the lid lock sensor , dropped it , so how do I take off the cover that covers the tub, I need to get the part so I could order one
I like that I can choose the soak. I don't use pre soak. I just let it fill, agitate a little to get soap in good then hit pause. It will remain in pause for up to 24 hrs. If the lid isn't lifted within 24 hrs it will automatically drain. Since nobody does that, I will let it agitate for 5 ish minutes then push pause. Our clothes get really dirty so this is best for us. I pretty much leave it on deep fill for rinse even though I don't use fabric softener. I fill the dispenser on top of the agitator with vinegar instead.
@@Thesabrinagarcia please let me know how it goes. I've some comments in different places, they were very unhappy. I've had no problems with mine. I don't use the 'fancy' settings, kinda like 'semi active wear with long sleeves' 😉. I'm to controlling and I know how dirty my clothes are and the products that get them clean. I use blueing, love it but with the HE washers I couldn't use it. My families clothes get dirty in layers, most people's do and sometimes soaking is the only way to get them clean. I'll pause the washer. Later when I am in the laundry room, I'll start it and let it agitate for the 5 minutes or so I'm in there. I pause it on my way out. Because I can look at the water, I know if they are getting clean. Recently I started reading different posts about clothes 'stripping'. There's a lot of them. What really makes me wanna pull out my hair is the HE washers have been around long enough that young adults don't know anything else. They don't know that there was a time when it wasn't necessary to soak your clean clothes in the bathtub to get all the gunk out. Then I hear manufacturers talking about this as if it is all part of being a grown up, people have always done this. Talk about propaganda! I hoped, when people first started the stripping thing, that when they saw just how bad the HE washers are that there would be some blow back to the manufacturers. I have sung the praises of this washer hoping people would maybe demand better washers and manufacturers would go back. The washer I sent back, before I found this one, had an agitator. I thought yippy. When my clothes were semi wet and still dirty, I looked closer. Turned out the agitator was a prop! It didn't even move. It was a center post piece shaped like an agitator but underneath, not actually connected to the prop agitator, was an impeller. That thing that just barely does about a half a swish. It was a fake and I fell for it. I couldn't believe a manufacturer would go to all the trouble to make a fake piece to fool all those ignorant people who refuse to believe they only need an occasional half hearted swish to get their clothes clean. Well, half hearted swish and a big bathtub. Please let me know. If you hate it, please let me know.
@@Thesabrinagarcia Have you received your washer?? How do you like it?? I just received mine today n it’s very noisy, I thought it was broken, until I came on here n found out it’s Normal
Never buy and agitator that is two pices like that...GE has been using that agitator for like 20 years and it will tie your clothes around rhe agitator to the point of having to cut a few out, it will rip your clothes...I hate that agitator so much i can't even express it in words...it doesn't matter if you tie your strings in bows or knots to prevent getting caught and tied around the agitator they will and your clothes will be so tied together you will lift the entire drum up as you try to untie your clothes....I'm looking for a new washer now bc the hated GE separated agitator washing machine finally died PRAISE GOD! BUT NOW lots of then have this stupid agitator and you can't exchange it for the agitator in the next model down...DON'T get a machine with this type of agitator you will end up in front of your machine crying trying to get your stretched out, ripped, ruined clothes out of the machine.
This machine sucks! Make sure to get it for your ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.My other machine gave me 20 years of kickass cleaning... This one got me 6 months no problems... Now its fucked... If only i could slap the creator of this shit box!
I have had this machine fir over a year, I hate it. You can get some extra water in it but it only fills half way. You cannot wash large items. There is no lint filter abd worst of all is that it spins so fast you have permanent wrinkles in your delicate clothes that you'd like to hang dry.
I thought I was the only one who hates this washer. I also hate the fact there is no lint filter. Mine doesn't fill either. I will never buy another GE washer

Where does the softener go with the same model without the agitator
I love my GE so far. I really gets the clothes clean. Mine doesn't seem loud to me.
Great review. I have an older version of this machine and am replacing. Looking for a larger tub capacity for that king sized comforter. Does this model come in a larger tub size?
My washer just started leaking water,what am I to do?
what setting do I put it on so it doesn't do the soak?
How does it regulate the water temperature? A thermostat? What degrees are the water at for hot, warm, cold?
I cannot figure out how to take OFF the top. I need to install balance kit.
Hi🥺 the timer dial on mine won’t match the selected cycle I put it on, it’s like playing Russian roulette😂

Worst washing machine ever, I had it for two years and wish for another. It takes so long to do a load, I just a very simple machine that works!
Why is this machine making a grinding noise during agitation? Can it be fixed, or is this something I have to get used to?
You'll most likely need to adjust. According to other beleaguered owners, GE's response has equated this painful noise as standard for this model.😞
Mine gets stuck on wash, full of water, then tried to “drain” … so frustrating
I just got one today. Im not sure if its washing right, im currently washing clothes. This is what its doing, its on wash. “Noise…Noise…Noise…” so thats what its doing and i can hear the water moving. Is there suppose to be pauses in the spins?
How much water does it use on a deep wash ?
i would like to know also. it seems my washer doesn"t fill enough.
Exactly,i just bought it and it seems dont get the amount of water for large loads,it confuses me
No one knows because no one can get the deep fill to work consistently
Why is there no water in the load
This kind of washer have a department to find jewelry or coins?
Bought this machine and returned it the next day. The noise would wake the dead.
I got the ww3 what's the phone jack for in the back??
I wondered that too. Diagnostics?
Yeah. What is that for back there haha
How do you turn it off if it starts and you want to stop it
Just push pause
Press the start/power button for 3 seconds. Did you read the instructions?
I had the same question. Yes, I did read the instructions. They are very brief and just bare basics.
Does anyone know what temperature warm, cool & cold correspond to? it seems to mix cold with hot which needs to be 50-60C (120-150F)
Just so you know.. It alternates filling w/ hot or cold... It does not fill with warm. So very hot water is being sprayed on your clothing.
@@jakoe5091 oh my! and that would be at whatever temperature your boiler is set to. Much prefer models with an internal heater that heat up the water instead of these hot fill design
@@jakoe5091stupid question but I don't see a liquid detergent slot so I'm assuming I just throw it in the actual machine right

Excellent review..I’m going to make the leap!

Not one mention of where to put the soap????
Here's a mention. In the tub.

Does it have a filter?
Anyone have a answer, please?
Need this information too lol
No, it does not. This is from the GE website..... TOP LOAD WASHER FILTERING SYSTEMS

The Fine Mesh filters were removed from under the agitator when it was found that a better pump and larger holes in the hub under the agitator did a better job of removing lint and preventing clogs in the drain system. The drain system allows water to flow through the basket and out the bottom of the tub pulling lint, hair and small particles with the water. There is no maintenance required on this system, so there is not a way to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance.

I get the impression maybe one percent of users have actually read the owner's manual for this machine.
Owner's manual is minimal.
How do you just spin an article of clothing without washing ?
Did you ever figure this out. I have a month old washer and I am not happy with it at this time. It does not spin well enough, and I have not figured out how to do a second spin on it.
@@cecegarza7604 You can't.
Use the drain and spin cycle and if you want to do a rinse, choose the deep rinse option.
Rinse & spin only
I'm washing my first load and the agitator is extremely slow.
Can you put this machine (top loader) up on a raiser/pedestal? I recently had a flood.
Third party laundry risers are available throughout Amazon.
I’m sorry, idk why y’all having issues with this machine. I have it and it washes well, it’s quiet and does not take forever. It’s reasonably priced, too.
I just received mine today from best buy and it’s just spinning. At first it was filling with water then I open the lid to add two tide pods and then it wouldn’t run properly after that I’m so pissed
You're suppose to put the pods in, then add clothes, then turn on washer. I haven't had any problems following the directions.
Is this a product review?
It's just me telling about the specs of the product.
Is the medium water level more water than precise fill?
Where does the liquid soap go????
Directly in the tub before adding your clothes. Doesn't matter if it's liquid, powder, or pods. It's all the same way.
This is not stainless steel drum. It is a coated metal drum and you will see rust develop on the seam.
How do I get mine to fill with water. I've tried everything and I'm so frustrated
You can't.
You have to put it on bulky items
For mine I tried everything and it wasn't working and then I lifted the drain hose at the back and BOOM worked like a charm and filled ALL the way up, with the Deep Fill setting of course. Turns out it was siphoning water cause the drain hose was too low and water was draining as it would fill 😢

You never said where you put in the soap?????
Inside of the agitator
Just put it in the washer. I prefer to fill it as much as I want, then put the soap in. I use plain old powdered tide.
@@zhanaramomun6859 fabric softener goes inside the agitator, not soap.
@@zhanaramomun6859 no that's for fabric softener
The soap goes in the water while washer is filing up
Should I buy this one take a chance, I’ll be going to Lowe’s to look at it?
Dont
Where is the filter to clean it
It doesn't have one. From GE website.... TOP LOAD WASHER FILTERING SYSTEMS
2001 AND NEWER
The Fine Mesh filters were removed from under the agitator when it was found that a better pump and larger holes in the hub under the agitator did a better job of removing lint and preventing clogs in the drain system. The drain system allows water to flow through the basket and out the bottom of the tub pulling lint, hair and small particles with the water. There is no maintenance required on this system, so there is not a way to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance.
@@diannawilliams6494 nice. Yeah I let it run with just hot water once a month
Ummm yes I want to put a king size comforter in here. Good gravy. I'm so tired of these new machines.

Stay away, noisy sob 😭
You be sorry buying GE washer machine. 😢. No good. I have one GE washing machine It is a big Problem
GE is bad News.☹️
Yea, the deep fill feature would be nice if it actually worked and pumped water in the bowl. This thing is absolute garbage. It gets absolutely nothing clean. It is by far the worst Washer we have ever owned. I want my money back so I can purchase another machine that actually works. I don't know if that can even happen at this point. Pure garbage. Green junk!
Piece of crap. Does not clean clothes. Does not get pet hair off and rinsed away. I have to lint roll everything and still pet hair!!! My old school Whirlpool worked great, I’m kicking myself for getting rid of it for this POS! Now researching Speed Queen to place after only a year! SO ANGRY!!!!!
Bought yesterday, returning! Worst machine ever. Pros: ease of disabling the lid lock. Cons: everything else. There is no brake in the machine...wait 5 minutes after pressing pause for the machine to sloooowly stop spinning before it unlocks. Washed and dried one poly/cotton king sized flat sheet 3 times! Once at medium water level, it still is full of hair and looks dirty. You cannot use this washer in the house because of the whirring sound! Does NOT filter the pet hair, lint, or anything, so you CANNOT hang on the line! The dials may as well be push buttons. It is very, very difficlut top understand what the washer is doing. Precise-fill will damage your clothes. This is really, really, a badly designed washer!
i hate my washer too.
i dnt even know how to turn the fucking thing on and i cant find anything on it

My machine is new. But recently I have noticed when it's loaded and soaking the clothing for 1 hr or whatever, it stays on soaking for hours...why is that?
I wished you had gone more in depth eg... If the sensor is off how soon the load will wash etc...what to do and not do?
I have this washer, I was taking off the lid lock sensor , dropped it , so how do I take off the cover that covers the tub, I need to get the part so I could order one
I like that I can choose the soak. I don't use pre soak. I just let it fill, agitate a little to get soap in good then hit pause. It will remain in pause for up to 24 hrs. If the lid isn't lifted within 24 hrs it will automatically drain. Since nobody does that, I will let it agitate for 5 ish minutes then push pause. Our clothes get really dirty so this is best for us. I pretty much leave it on deep fill for rinse even though I don't use fabric softener. I fill the dispenser on top of the agitator with vinegar instead.
@@AVToth You're my kind of laundry person 👍🏾👍🏾 I'm getting this model this week...hoping I will pleased with it...
@@Thesabrinagarcia please let me know how it goes. I've some comments in different places, they were very unhappy. I've had no problems with mine. I don't use the 'fancy' settings, kinda like 'semi active wear with long sleeves' 😉. I'm to controlling and I know how dirty my clothes are and the products that get them clean. I use blueing, love it but with the HE washers I couldn't use it. My families clothes get dirty in layers, most people's do and sometimes soaking is the only way to get them clean. I'll pause the washer. Later when I am in the laundry room, I'll start it and let it agitate for the 5 minutes or so I'm in there. I pause it on my way out. Because I can look at the water, I know if they are getting clean.
Recently I started reading different posts about clothes 'stripping'. There's a lot of them. What really makes me wanna pull out my hair is the HE washers have been around long enough that young adults don't know anything else. They don't know that there was a time when it wasn't necessary to soak your clean clothes in the bathtub to get all the gunk out. Then I hear manufacturers talking about this as if it is all part of being a grown up, people have always done this. Talk about propaganda! I hoped, when people first started the stripping thing, that when they saw just how bad the HE washers are that there would be some blow back to the manufacturers. I have sung the praises of this washer hoping people would maybe demand better washers and manufacturers would go back. The washer I sent back, before I found this one, had an agitator. I thought yippy. When my clothes were semi wet and still dirty, I looked closer. Turned out the agitator was a prop! It didn't even move. It was a center post piece shaped like an agitator but underneath, not actually connected to the prop agitator, was an impeller. That thing that just barely does about a half a swish. It was a fake and I fell for it. I couldn't believe a manufacturer would go to all the trouble to make a fake piece to fool all those ignorant people who refuse to believe they only need an occasional half hearted swish to get their clothes clean.
Well, half hearted swish and a big bathtub. Please let me know. If you hate it, please let me know.
@@Thesabrinagarcia Have you received your washer?? How do you like it?? I just received mine today n it’s very noisy, I thought it was broken, until I came on here n found out it’s Normal
Worst washing machine!!! Does not fill with enough water
Raise the level of your drain hose
VOLUME LEVEL TOO LOW!!!
its very low
@@janetbigenho4491raise the level of your drain hose😊
junk! just got one it sucks so bad! loud as hell and takes for ever
Never buy and agitator that is two pices like that...GE has been using that agitator for like 20 years and it will tie your clothes around rhe agitator to the point of having to cut a few out, it will rip your clothes...I hate that agitator so much i can't even express it in words...it doesn't matter if you tie your strings in bows or knots to prevent getting caught and tied around the agitator they will and your clothes will be so tied together you will lift the entire drum up as you try to untie your clothes....I'm looking for a new washer now bc the hated GE separated agitator washing machine finally died PRAISE GOD! BUT NOW lots of then have this stupid agitator and you can't exchange it for the agitator in the next model down...DON'T get a machine with this type of agitator you will end up in front of your machine crying trying to get your stretched out, ripped, ruined clothes out of the machine.
This machine sucks! Make sure to get it for your ex-wife or ex-girlfriend.My other machine gave me 20 years of kickass cleaning... This one got me 6 months no problems... Now its fucked... If only i could slap the creator of this shit box!
Horrible washer. I had to wash clothes 3x to figure the water level. Wastes more water than government regulations. Prise wash doesnt fill right.
😂 talked for almost 8 minutes and didn’t say anything important or useful 😂

I have had this machine fir over a year, I hate it. You can get some extra water in it but it only fills half way. You cannot wash large items. There is no lint filter abd worst of all is that it spins so fast you have permanent wrinkles in your delicate clothes that you'd like to hang dry.
I thought I was the only one who hates this washer. I also hate the fact there is no lint filter. Mine doesn't fill either. I will never buy another GE washer
