Had ours for about 5 years and so far I’ve only had to replace the water inlet valves. About $50 and 30 mins of my time. So far not too bad.

That was my issue. Same time frame too.

Had mine for 5 years. I use it for business use for massage therapy so its used a lot. Just had to change the water inlet valves which was easy. Only other issue I've had is the water tray not draining where the softener goes.

I recently purchased the 5.3 GE Profile Smart Ultra-fresh Front load Washer. After pulling out the dispenser detergent tray after every wash at least 1/4 cup of water leaks into the tub. I need to open and close the dispenser tray at least 3 times before the water leak completely stops. Have you heard of or encountered this issue with this unit? I recently sent a video to GE Corporate and they claim this is not a known issue with this unit. I am being advised to call a GE technician for service under my warranty plan. I sure would appreciate any information you may have on this issue.

Thanks for the video, man. i had mine for over 1 year, and boy, it's falling apart little by little. The codes are another thing to be knowledgeable, i am sure you know, but us clients won't. The door seal goes out quickly, with a tiny leakage. Question , buttom leakage: Would you say that's the pump with a small crack?

We own one, a common problem is that the roof of the detergent dispenser somehow gets the water dispensers clogged. When that happens the water does not spray straight down, but off to the side, and then drips on the floor. I had to figure it out myself because when we had a repairman come he came up with some expensive item that would not have fixed the issue. The current issue is loud squeaking when running an average sized load. We think it's the shock absorbers.

I've had this washer for almost 4 years, only thing I've replaced is the water inlet valve assembly twice. Other than that it's been pretty solid

I had to do that this past weekend. I kept getting a h2O supply error and I had also noticed the automatic detergent dispenser wasn’t working. My washer is less than 2 years old.

@@508achannell1We just put laundry powder directly on our clothes rather than using the drawer dispenser options because we were told most modern front facing machines will have issues over time with the dispensers and hoses. The exception is when we need to use Woolite or bleach which isn't often. Powder in a box is also much better for the environment.

@morys1975 Ай бұрын

I just bought this washer. I am curious what happened to your machine to need to fix the water inlet valve assembly?

@508achannell1 Ай бұрын

I don’t really know why it went out and had to be replaced. I am careful with it but what I have read is that it’s common part to go out bc it’s plastic and cheaply made. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

@jameulemans 2 ай бұрын

We have one of these and water is leaking from under the top panel. I don’t think the drawer has any options to leak but I wish there was a video on what the source could be without taking the whole thing apart.

@sophiecrowdy2932 15 күн бұрын

We had and have this issue. We realized that the top/roof of the detergent section would get covered in soap or something else that clogs the water spray from coming straight down. The sprays would then go off to the side and leak out where it was supposed to be. This caused our issue with water leaking from inside the machine. We take a wet rag and really clean the inside of the detergent's inside. You will have to take the detergent dispenser tray out first. Becareful if it's full of soap, keep it level or the soap will spill out. Have a towel ready to sit it on or just sit in in the washer tub.

I need an opinion. I have a 2017 front loading GE washer and I've noticed that the door is not locking properly. Occasionally it will latch and then it unlatches and latches again to start the cycle. But today I heard it just clicking quietly and I had to close the door and open it a few times power it off or it even to engage at least once and it's very hit and miss. I don't know if it's possible to contact you for further details. I am trying to get it corrected but I am a little annoyed as it was pretty much brand new when I received it back in 2021.

I’ve owned LG appliances, Samsung appliances, GE appliances and even Maytag appliances. They don’t make them like they did 30 years ago to last 20 years. The average life expectancy on any of these appliances is roughly 5 to 7 years. I moved into my house that had generally new appliances and I’ve had to replace the built-in microwave, the stove/oven And an LG refrigerator that had a 10 year warranty that had the compressor go out in four years. LG did not wanna honor the warranty because it said that it would not be able to replace that same type of machine. After going round and round and arguing back-and-forth, they finally paid me about half of what I paid for it. so I spent $1600 on a refrigerator that four years later they replaced it with giving me a check for $920. Needless to say I don’t buy LG appliances anymore. Samsung had a lot of issues but they did send a repairman out, but from time to time we still get Issues with that appliance. Knock on wood I’m having good luck with my GE refrigerator. The only issue I have with this particular model is the speed and the size of the ice cubes are not worth the icemaker. Icemakers in general are a problem in most brand of refrigerators. It’s better to just buy a 10 or 20 pound bag of ice and keep it in a Standup freezer.

@Ayram9 Ай бұрын

My friend and I both bought 1940s and 1950s stoves/ranges partly for this reason. They can typically be easily fixed and the parts tend to stay available because they're universal parts used in different industries. She's now looking for a vintage fridge for the same reason but I want the modern features more than she does (I want counter depth, filtered water and auto ice) so I've learned the best thing I can do is read reviews the best I can and get the longest warranty possible and cross my fingers. I also know that door ice and water have more issues so the last one I bought just drops the ice down into the freezer. It'll still go to crap sooner than later I know. Sucks. Maybe if I could afford a Sub Zero that'd help but even those probably don't last these days. Needless to say, Samsung is the worst of the worst. They say a basic Maytag is currently the most reliable fridge.

@c.a.s1900 2 ай бұрын

I bought mine about a month ago as well. Im totally disgusted. My issue is with the smart dispense system which is the only reason I bought it. It just is constantly leaking soap and even after the spin cycle there's still soap in the seal I've sent them emails and they just keep sending me all the stuff to troubleshoot which isn't working I just want to return it I'm so pissed

@Ayram9 Ай бұрын

@@c.a.s1900I was told to avoid using dispensers with front facing washers as much as possible because this issue is common with them. Put powder (better for machine and environment) directly in the drum on your clothes. If you must use the dispenser most would say not to use the feature you bought it for. The thing is that even without that feature it's still a better washing machine than most. I learned about all this before I bought ours and just accepted that loss from the get go because of all the other features. I felt better knowing powder is better for both the machine (avoiding dispenser) and the planet so this was a sort of calculated compromise.

@c.a.s1900 Ай бұрын

@@Ayram9they replaced the dispenser out but I'm too afraid to use it now cuz it unloaded all the soap in a cycle. I don't know if it just cleans to well and it's pulling old detergent out of my clothes or if the machine just isn't rinsing the soap out. It's such a mess I really wanted to love this machine, it's so pretty.

@Ayram9 Ай бұрын

@@c.a.s1900 I would just avoid the dispenser like I do.😆 Or, only use the small amounts at a time. I only use my dispenser for bleach and the occasional liquid Woolite but almost always just the powder directly in the drum because the planet-friendly powders are also less harmful on delicate clothing with some exceptions. All that thick gooey detergent being stored in there can't possibly have a happy ending IMO. It was a gimmick and maybe even one that they really thought would work, and it didn't pan out. But the rest of the machine really does have too many great features to ignore. At least the 800 series does and therefore the Profile (one model higher and their top model) must as well. Side note: the 800 dryer has been replaced now with non-stainless drum and possibly another missing feature or two (not even sure it's still called the 800) leaving only the best features with their Profile line unless they left the 800 washer alone but I heard that's about to have fewer features too regardless of whether or not they give it a new series number. So I see those of us with the slightly older machines at 800 or below as luckier because we each got more for our money compared to now (or soon). The Profile will continue to have it all I'm sure.

probably best to consult with a professional appliance repair technician in home for this one but in my professional opinion that sounds like an inverter control issue or wiring between the main control and inverter control.

I've had this exact washer for 5 months and I noticed it makes a really high pitch sound after a load.... but yesterday it was making a squeaking noise while on the rinse cycle. It was loud enough for me to hear it halfway across the laundry room. The noise was similar to an ungreased gear or something. Definitely not a good sign, especially from a 5 month old machine!

Not all cycles are meant to work depending on what the main dial is set to. For example if you have it set to delicates it won't allow hot water or faster spin options.
