GE Washer - WHDRR418G Review Summary

While some reviewers "love, love, love" the GE Washer WHDRR418G, not everyone does. Those that like it report their clothes have never looked better, "clean clothes, clean feel." They find overall that front-loading washing machines are more energy efficient and use less water than top-loading machines, and they chose this particular washer because of the GE brand. With this GE washing machine, reviewers report in that it is "whisper quiet," making them think for a few moments that it might be broken, then realizing it was "quick, quiet, and easy." This washer's detractors report problems such as door leaks and mode shifter problems that GE seems resistant to fixing. Overall, they feel it's a "GE meat ball."

Front-loading washing machines wash better, are more energy efficient and use less water than top-loading machines. Although some fancier front-loading washing machines have more bells and whistles, better efficiency and a larger capacity, the 3.5- cubic-foot Frigidaire GLTF2940F washer is less expensive... review »

I purchased my first GE washer (a Hydrowave, WHDRR418GWW) in Nov. 07. This month Jan. 09), I called a local serviceman to address a drain problem. He fixed the drain problem but also told me that the "bearings" were going out on my washer and that I should call GE right away. GE sent a serviceman out, who said I need a new outer tub, mode shifter, and motor. GE will not cover the labor or service call because it has been more than 12 months (by two months) since I purchased the machine. However, I did not know to call before the local serviceman told me about the problem incident to servicing...

GE washer WHDRR418G1WW. This machine lasted 1 year 4 months. motor LED trouble code "lock rotor".  reseted the code, restart and same result.  another word, this motor can not protect itself so it just drop dead.  what a joke. Do not know what is the cause.  tub, motor shaft, motor, belt and pully all spin by hand.  This is a $200 part.  about half of the cost of a new unit.    

To say buy somthing else is not a good suggestion. Unfortunately GE may be buying the motor assembly from oversea, the same place other US mfg. buying theirs. where is the good ole quality control ? when will...

We have had this for 6 months now and this has happened from day one.  We have called for warranty service and they told us this happened when the washer was not level or the floor was not flat.  Well I RE-checked the level and it was actually LEVEL!  The floor IS flat as we had just had the basement floor in that area leveled for the purpose of the new washer.  We called back and were told that it might take a couple months to fit us in to their schedule and they would contact us when there was an opening.  At the 5 month point we dragged it back to the store where we bought it, demanded... review »

The GE Washing Machine model number whdrr418g1ww is the best one I have ever used. The best thing about it is that it is whisper quiet. I almost returned it after it was delivered because I thought it was broken! Turns out it is just very quiet. It cost around 400 hundred dollars and was delivered for 50 from Best Buy. It has every setting you would ever need as far as I can see and I would recommend it to anyone!

GE Washer - WHDRR418G - our machine is barely 2 years old.  I put a load in last nite and expected to take it out this mornig and put it in the dryer.  The agitator/spin function does not work.   Everything is soaking wet and now has to be lugged to my mom's to finish up.

I was worried about the reliability of washing machines in general after reading all the spotty reviews across different sites. Tried to make my best guess on this one, so far seems to be a great choice. We'll see how long it lasts!

GE products are the best

I have used them for years they have become apart of my household, i can depend on GE products

they come with  a good warrenty and they almost never every break down.

I can wash a large load in my washing machine my clothes come out clean, not like those small washing machine that they have in wash houses.

you can get your products serviced with no problem and customer rep are kind and very friendly,

i would not use any other product.

I will continue to use GE products i will recommend them to friends and family

This washing machine runs very quiet.  It is wonderfully quick also.  All the different features also are great.  I like the extra rinse cycle best because some things need a little bit more rinsing before it gets cleaned enough.  There are special places for bleach and fabric sofener, making it easier for you so you don't have to remember to put it in.  It also has a water level dial so you can choose how full to make the washer, to save you water. This was a very dependable, easy washer for a great price.

      I have been a homemaker for 21 yrs. and have gone through 5 washing machines!

Usually, it doesn't matter what they say , they all still just wash your clothes.  With this one I actually notice a difference in how nice my clothes look and how much longer they last.

     This machine does not have a whole lot of dfferent settings that you will never use anyway, but just enough for what you need. I have not had any problems with it so far.
