I ended up fixing my old GE HydroWave washer. Very happy with my old machine. It had a bad tub seal and motor etc. Got a cheap motor on eBay and other parts from Amazon. It was a huge pain to fix but, we are very happy now. Here is a link to an overview of the repair: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tJyr24aMmntqdn4 I used Permatex Indian head gasket shellac to glue the tub seal in but, that stuff will fail and cause a leak. Use E6000 instead, it's very good stuff. If you are looking for a good washing machine, consider Speed Queen.

I miss my old one too, the main bearing on the bottom was starting to dribble out a few ones each load. I cut some 1/8th inch aquarium tubing one end slanted like needle and glued it in the weep hole, snaked the rest around exhaust line into sewer pipe. Worked perfectly fine, but "somebody " wanted a new one. We should have kept it as backup for everytime the new one fails.

it is my understanding that the new washing machines actually weigh the amout of clothes you put in the machine , and then decide how much water to use based on the weight of the clothes. so you never get enough water to wash the clothes with the new govt regulations put in place by the obama administration. if you have a bulky selector button, that will put in more water. bottom line is the machines have been redesigned to save water and not clean clothes. dont believe me ? read the reviews of washers on home depot and lowes web sites. people putting clothes into top load washing machines where part of the load doesnt even get wet. the govt has ruined you washing machine. also the full fill button on the GE machines only puts a small amount of water extra, and does not fill the tub as the name suggests.

Bought one of these. After two service calls under warranty, it still just stops mid cycle. It has also spontaneously started itself. When we leave the house for more than a day we unplug the machine. I had to replace the drive belt after the original shredded. It has some oil leaking from the transmission seal. You can have a balance problem and an aborted cycle with just few light items. Sheets come out twisted into ropes with other items bound up in them. This unit is used for just the two of us, not a family of 4 or 5. I bought this when the drum broke on my old trusty 20 year old GE. I bought parts and repaired the old one and put it in storage. My wife now wants me to pull it back out and install it instead of this finicky, overprogrammed, noisy pile of junk.

I also had a service call under warranty because it stopped mid cycle. They told me I needed to buy a balance kit and install it. On KZitem it took 14 minutes. I talked to 3 handymen and the first 2 stood me up and the third said GE washers are low quality, so most people won’t work on them. The internet reviews give this model 4.4 stars. I just can’t use the machine again until I get the balance kit installed. Finally, I called GE back and asked why they didn’t offer to install the balance kit for me. I would have paid him. It’s no way a normal person could do it. Now they will charge $109 minimum for next service call.

We purchased one of these a few days ago and have done 6 or 7 loads so far with great results. As opposed to most other models available today this one allows you to select your own water level which is a huge plus. It fills almost all the way to the top if you select max fill and deep fill. Rinse cycle is the same way if deep rinse is selected. Over all we're very happy with it. Give me a break with the noise already. It's not that bad. If you're going to compare this machine to an old school machine and expect the same apples to apples sounds and performance then it won't happen not only with this machine but with anything else you purchase. Speed Queen was mentioned and while it is a good washer it still is not the machine it was 30 years ago. The SQ has a small capacity rating at 3.2 and the GE at 4.5. The one SQ says is their old school machine is over 1,400.00 and I paid 498.00 for the GE at Lowes on sale. So there you have it folks, just my 2 cents on this subject.

My wife and I have a similar GE washer that makes a lot of noise, but to be honest the longer you have it the less noticable it is. Now when we do laundry the sound doesn't even bother us and the fact that it cleans really well makes a difference. We leave the lid up on the washer after washing to allow the drum to air dry which keeps odors from forming when the lid is down due to excess moisture getting trapped in. Leaving the lid up also helps against any rust issues that might occur. Occasionally using washing machine cleaning tablets every few months helps get rid of any soap residue and gunk that might develop in between the inner and outer tub.

Thanks for posting this video. I have the same model and nearly panicked at that grinding noise. It's obnoxious but with the laundry door closed I don't mind it so much. It's certainly better than the decades old dino-washer that finally went to laundry heaven recently. The GE cleans my clothes far better, doesn't shake the entire house when it spins, and I love the quick cycle. The features are good and it was nice going from a 3.9 "ish" tub to a 4.5. As far as reliability, that remains to be seen. I don't have super dirty clothes so other folks might need something that feels more sturdy like more expensive direct drive motor. Some reviews I've seen on other websites by repair techs rated GE appliances in the top 3-4 for repairability and reliability. Here's hoping...

Didn't want to reset it and start from scratch. First time I did sheets it spun so crazy (and went out of balance and the two sheets were twisted like a candy cane. Not even sure how that happened.

Today I made the mistake of using a little extra soap, and after extra rinses, and an extra wash cycle (no soap) I still had to rinse out the soap from the towels in the sink, and then do a drain and spin. (You have to use just a little detergent, because this washer doesn't rinse sufficiently.) Did I say that I have to use a little platform that raises me four inches so I can safely reach down into that deep deep basket? How I miss my 23 year old Kenmore that died 4 months ago.

i was really leaning towards this model over the maytag MVWC565FW, just based purely on my in-store observations. the maytag seems more cheaply made, but this ge makes too much noise, and the gap between the wash tub and the top of the unit raises concerns that frequent water splashing outside the tub could cause issues.

The noise is part of an early warning system. It indicates that you should get to the nearest properly stocked bomb shelter and seal yourself in.

I just bought this same exact model Oct 30, 2023. I had my old whirlpool for 20 years and it was a dream! It was nice and quiet and washed large loads without any problem! Then it finally died but it gave me 20 happy years. So I ended up buying this GE Washing Machine less than 3 months ago and it is so noisy! The spin cycle is the worst! The most common reason is the banging sounds when the load is unbalanced and throws it out of whack. It does this frequently when you have a somewhat heavy load like towels or small floor rugs. I have a queen size light weight bedspread and blanket and when I put only the bedspread by itself, during the spin cycle it will throw if off balance the loud banging sounds will wake up a bear! Well, it's not that bad but it is when you're trying to sleep or relax and read. I have to shut the laundry and my bedroom door. It does a nice job washing clothes though but next time I have to get another washing machine it will be a Whirlpool instead!

I had a 20 year old Whirlpool. It finally died in 2020. This is the washer I got with AHS. It is very noisy. It vibrates a great deal.

Weird sound for sure. I’m so glad I never got rid of my old Hotpoint W&D. Everything in them is replaceable for little money. My friend the appliance guy says never get rid of them!

I have this and it's not great. i don't care about the sound, as the old washers were also kind of loud.The problem is it moves all around the floor no matter how level it is. This is because the new top load washers have a basket that moves..so it during the spin cycle, it will bang against the body of the washer and start to move! Then, after having for just about a few years, I now started hearing loud clanking sounds at the start. Not every time I use, but it''s a bad sign. They have DESTROYED washers. One good thing about this machine is that the clothes come out almost dry...LOL!

I just purchased my washer. My only concern is the horrible shaking that happens during spin cycle no matter water level is set on nor wash cycle you chose. It still shacks not like the machine is out of alignment but rather something not right with the drum🤷♀️

I have this washer and I too am not happy with it. It barely agitates. It does not get clothes clean nor does it rinse well. I bought it in October 2020 and had very limited selection due to the pandemic.

The loud annoying noise does not bother me because I put the washer out in my tool shed. What bothers me is the agitator is weak and does next to nothing. The cloths always stay right where I put them in. The fabric softener comes out stuck all over the cloths. It also takes a very long time to do a load. I am very sorry I bought this machine. I expected a much better product from GE.

This is not what it looks like. Never enough water even if you push super size load. Very, very noisy and goes out of balance a lot. Stinks! I leave the lid up all the time and have super cleaned several times. Still stinks. You can’t easily add clothes or extend wash times. I hate it. Hate it. Regret ever buying it.

I loathe this machine. Not only the sounds, but even when I wash on the "casuals" cycle, it never spins out all of the water, I then have to put it on the Drain and Spin cycle. I had an old Kenmore before this one which was about 28 years old. Why did I think I needed a new one? ???? It still worked fine. Regrets.

I think you men are too picky about a damn washing machine. I got this a month ago and I love it. The sound is the sound of a washing machine doing your laundry. It’s the induction motor. It will make that sound. Normal.

its not just GE washers that are a problem. they all are problems now except speed queen. somehow speed queen has navigated the govt regulations and still produce a machine that works. but its costs 2x what a big box store model costs.

You really don't have many choices for a modern washer that lets you set the water level. it is either this or a Samsung. You are probably better off with the Samsung washer though. I do like how modern washers have bigger tub sizes than older washers, so you can wash more clothes in fewer loads.

I’m not happy, I bought a new one. The washing machine does not dry, and you can’t make thick clothes and the water hangs in the tub. Very bad machine, better buy another brand and it takes a long time to wash😭😡😡
