GE Washer Review

I bought a GW Profile washer (model WJRE5500G1WW) 18 months ago when we moved to our new home. There are many features on it I never liked but it did an adequate job and we weren't in a position to buy a new one. Now it has been unuseable for two weeks, going on three. First it needed a new lid switch, now the control panel has to be replaced.

I have been on the phone with several GE reps (and It was extremely difficult to get to talk to a real live human being!) who give the same mantra, "It's out of warranty. It's your problem." One tech suggested it was not a problem with the machine but we must have had a lightning bolt or a power surge blow out the control panel. ha! ha! The machine quit cold one day after I had already done four loads of wash--I guess I missed the lightning bolt that slipped in after the 4th load!

I read about another GE Profile washer on another site requiring $500 worth of repairs after 15 months, for a problem that GE knows about.  I do not want to deal with the company ever again.

All I can say is I will never buy a GE appliance. We are planning to get a new range, refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher. None will be GE.
