GE top load washer and dryer review - GTW330ASKWW - GTD33EASKWW

Testing out my new GE washer and dryer. Models GTW330ASKWW and GTD33EASKWW. Can get these at Lowes and Home Depot.

[@a.elle.5630]

I appreciate your video, i just got this washer and you are the only review that went into detail the sounds and cycles !

[@patriciablackmon4594]

I found this to be a very helpful video, thank you , you have helped me make up my mind This is the washer for me

[@craftymagnets]

Thank you for your FAST reply! I appreciate it!

[@karendenney4126]

Thanks for your review! Looks like a good washer at a reasonable price.

[@210MichiganRails]

I liked how you show us how to use it. But about adding detergent. Since that’s the HE/High Efficiency washer. HE washer uses less water than traditional washers. Detergent sitting on top of the clothes could lead to staining. Add detergent in the bottom of the washing basket BEFORE you load the clothes. Just letting you know everybody!

[@k3_kaylen]

Great review.. very helpful in decision making!👍🏾

[@wonthefight]

I purchased this and had it delivered yesterday at 11:xxam. This machine was dancing on the floor. This sucker is loud. It sounds like a motorcycle running. During the washing cycles, I noticed the lights inside another appliance kept flickering to the same rhythm of the washer. I've never experienced that before. By 7pm (same day) I called the customer service store who advised to go to the store. Management claimed it is a leveling error that will be corrected tomorrow morning. My basement is unfinished. I kept hearing a humming sound near the washer. When I unplugged the washing machine, the sound stopped. Clearly this machine is still using enough power to cause this humming sound even when not in use ($$). The close didn't spin dry. So, I ran the extra spin cycle. It doesn't just do a spin. It rinses and spins (which I wish I'd known earlier). So far, I am not impressed with this machine. I'm going to see if tomorrow will improve the flaws I am experiencing; otherwise, I will be returning it. ****If you are shopping for washers, this one does not have a separate rinse cycle. When I noticed, the soap hadn't rinsed completely, I had to run another whole (small delicate) cycle just to obtain an extra rinse.

[@MassGainingGuy]

Received mine today! Thanks for the review!

[@Sahdy871]

How did you do with her?

[@tiffanyflores9122]

is there anything i need to do to release the drum for the spin cycle when insalling it?

[@ellensmith2098]

GE appliances GTW330ASKWW -I cannot figure out to get to the inside to replace drain pump and motor, no front panel, any advice for me?

[@shibez]

one thing I like about this model is the floating drum corrects itself if there is an uneven load. it prevents the washer from jumping up n down when there is an uneven load...something my,old skool washer did not do.

[@patrickwarsalla9804]

Not true, I bough this in late April 2018, have had problems with it dancing and jumping all around during spin cycles, since under warantee, had tech come out, he tried to replicate but couldn't!! He verified it was level and nothing was bound up or broken. Wouldn't ya know. He said getting a rubber mat or these little pucks might be the only answer (he is a contractor not an actual GE tech). Bought the little pucks and installed then loaded up a queen comforter. Figured if anything was going to make it unbalanced this would, nope not even a hint of movement. Today did a small load of whites, t-shirts, socks and damn thing jumped all over, even with the pucks. Wish I could just have them take it back but not much else to choose from in this price range. Will know better next time!

[@UrOpinionsSucc]

The old washers do it without any problems...why? Better suspension and the tub doesn't get all wobbily like a peice of plastic crap HE machine.

[@joealleva6848]

It does have some vibration but I've noticed the material that the washer feet are made out of seems to be softer and spongier. It's very difficult to move it across a tile floor but in turn it seems to work in favor of the machine I am pleased so far. I liked your demonstration on this matter.

[@kevonnadelmoral9825]

Hi, I also just purchased this and tried my first cycle last night. When It started it did make a weird noise that caught me off guard however it changed over to very quiet. Is this still happening for you? & how long does it normally happen? I did not see the time yesterday to keep track due to it throwing me off at first. Thanks!

[@marysmith4811]

The agitator works very well on this machine.

[@kimberlypandolfo9278]

All right I have a question I have this dryer I put a medium load in for 30 minutes the clothes weren’t even warm at all not dryer so the time dry doesn’t seem to work but if I put it on more dry I noticed the dryer start to heat up why doesn’t the timer dry work?!?

[@apallo88]

I just bought the newer model of this washing machine today. Mine also has the "Deep Rinse" button. You stated in your vid that if you wanted to add more water for another rinse, you would have to hold down the button for 30 seconds. My question is when should I push down and hold the button? Should I do it when the "Wash" cycle is finished and ready to enter the "Rinse" cycle or do i do it just after the "Rinse" cycle is completed; ready to move on to the "Spin" cycle? Thanks in advance and thanks for uploading this informative video?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

3 seconds, not 30. You would do it at the beginning before you even start the cycle. I've actually never tried this, but here's what the manual says: "Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add an incremental amount of water to the wash load. Holding the Deep Fill button for 3 seconds will provide the deepest fill level possible."

[@shibez]

just bought this right now....should be delivered tomorrow from lowes. i,specifically wanted the old school washer(not HE) and this was the only one they sold. hopefully it last at least 10 years.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

I'm still really liking mine. Yeah, I'm hoping I can get 10 years out of it, too.

Hi we just bought the washer and we don’t know where to put the laundry detergent please would be really helpful if someone answers

[@fullmetalheart3549]

Yay , I feel better about my purchase, the review's about it being extra loud and moving around kinda made me regret buying these but your video shows them in use and honestly it's not even bad 🙃. I'll update after a week and see how they are working for me.

[@psdaengr911]

Most moving washing machine issues are from the washer not being level.

[@justinfisher5175]

I just got my second set within a month of NICE SAMSUNG HE ones wi Th impeller, it isn’t working out for me going back to the basics! This is it

[@charbabe1986]

I just got mine delivered today... I'm glad you posted turning the knob on the dryer because thats what I was looking for. It didnt click around nicely like the washer so I was worried something was wrong, but it looks like yours functioned the same as mine. Will you confirm that for me? :) The dryer just kind of rotates and doesnt click like the washer correct?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

The big knob on the dryer does not click, but the small temperature knob does.

[@Michael-jv9ee]

Just purchased this set. I get the same noise as you do in the wash cycle, but mine is quite a bit louder? Should I be worried or is it because it has only ran a few times and the sound will decrease over time? I see on GE website they mention something about break pads grinding down and the noise easing up.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Yours probably just seems louder since it is there before you as opposed to listening to audio from a youtube video. I'm guessing anyway.

[@beckymay9811]

Is there a way to change the length of the spin cycle, it seems like it spins forever, the clothes are almost dry at the end of the cycle?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

No, don't see any way to change it.

[@1456Sassy]

Why would you want to change that? Less dry time when it spins good!

[@psdaengr911]

It automatically senses if the clothes have had enough water extracted. Ie The spin cycle for women's polyester delicates that don't retain water is shorter than with cotton jeans of the same dry weight with all the machine settings the same.

[@rickeytowe4212]

Bought one a year ago, don't think it will make it another year some thing is grinding bad. Will not bye ge washer again

[@ItzRaeRae49]

I just got this as a replacement washer at my apartment & the only thing I don’t like is that when it’s in the rinse cycle, the lid is locked and I can’t add any softener to the washer! I tried to intercept it just now to add softener and the thing didn’t go back and it just reset the whole wash cycle again!! Ugh!!! I miss my old washer where I could be able to set my washer at the rinse cycle and with this NEW. washer I can’t do that anymore!

[@davidallen8960]

Liquid softener goes in the cup on the agitator at the start and it dispenses automatically. However, stopping or raising the lid during the first spin cycle will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.

[@psdaengr911]

The life locking is for your protection.Use the dispenser.

[@psdaengr911]

Didn't RTFM. You load a washer by clothes mass, not volume. That one is overloaded if everything is cotton. The manual has a guide for what constitutes a load. The difference between this and proper loading effects the longevity of both the clothing and the machine . Better to have a few more sets of clothes and have them last 2x as many washes. Cloths can cost much more than the machine, power and supplies over time or much less depending on how you wash them. TLCCOO includes clothing plus washing.

[@debfamousinnj]

Does anyone know if their is filter. On washer so I can change it ???

[@kmichaud7718]

Do you have any idea why the water starts to fill up but then stops? This is the 3rd time this has happened to me. I press the start button and hear the water filling, so I assumed it's started. When I return to my basement 30+minutes later, I see the drum has only a tiny bit of water. It's clear the clothes were never wet. I press the start button and it starts up again just fine. I never see a light flashing saying it's paused or anything like that. It's brand new.

[@brittanysarkine171]

Wondering the same thing did you find out why yours isn’t filling

[@rg1177]

i just got it today and idnt like it cnt figure it out... can i return this??

[@1BethMcBeth]

@DarkStoneCastle Do you STILL have this washer 7 years later? Just curious and if so, have you had any issues with it? Thanks for a reply as this refurbished appliance store is trying to offer me your washer tgat you reviewed 7 yrs ago in exchange for the one they delivered to me (end of March) that's a GE 4.2 deep fill that has all your features but doesn't have the agitator in the middle and mine is larger capacity then the one they want to exchange mine for. Curious as to your results. Thanks.~Beth in FL 🌴

[@DarkStoneCastle]

My life has been a mess so I've had to move a lot. I had to sell the particular one in this video. Eventually I rebought the washer several times (long story... I've moved a lot) But, I've never had a single issue with this model of washer as of today, even though I've owned it 3 times due to having to move and sell at various times since making this video.

[@brookeolenar2318]

Does the lid lock at any point during the wash? I want a top loader but I don't want one were the lid locks.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Yes, it does lock but you can hit the pause button at any time to unlock it.

[@sharris3624]

@@DarkStoneCastle I just bought this finally used it yesterday. When I hit the pause button, the lid stayed locked? Can you explain. Also, how do I get mines to fill like yours. The max is not even close to the top?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

@@sharris3624 Hello, do you have the exact same model as mine? When I hit the pause button on mine, the lid lock will start blinking, which means it is unlocked and I can now open the lid. To fill it with water to the top, press the Deep Rinse button at the top left of the machine before starting a cycle.

[@craftymagnets]

I like ur video I bought this machine and confused with certain cycles and water levels to put it on. Which water level did u put load in this video? I heard deep rinse but what water level, max ? Thank you

[@bellguts2766]

I bought this washer for a rental house. It has a 1 year warranty and I bought the extended 3 years on it. 4 years and one month later my renter moved out and my washer shakes so bad I’m going to have to call a repairman. I’m sure it was overloaded but I think my husband and I can repair it. My advice is don’t own rental property. People tear up everything and don’t bother to tell you.

[@irissoto907]

Your video helped me a lot. But how do I turn off the washing machine?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Open the lid to stop it. Keep the lid open for more than 10 seconds or so and the water will automatically drain out.

[@irissoto907]

That's what I did. I left the lid open during the night. But when I closed it at morning it started filling with water.

[@AcroRoch1]

On mine, you hold the start button for three seconds

[@DavidAlvarez-qv2nu]

Did you like it ?I got mine today I'm not sure about the washer

[@The_ClayDayz]

I'm considering buying this one. Do you know about the warranty and did you purchase extra?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

1 year warranty on both the washer and dryer. No, I didn't buy any extended warranties. I won't be using them that much since I'm just one person living here in an apartment. If I had a family of 4 or so, maybe I would have.

[@jemmagirl1075]

I bought the 2 year warranty for $69. That's less than $3 a month.. and less than my PSE&G worry free price.

im looking for a traditional washer and not HE since i've heard the new HE have such low water levels. how do you like this one so far? it is $399 at lowes rightnow.

[@shibez]

ive had it for about 3 weeks now. i like it. the clothes come out smelling better than my old skool washer ever did. And its energy efficient. i'm a believer. Plus i have the choice if i want to fill the washer or not.

[@inquisitvem6723]

thanks. what about the dryer? did you get the sibling equivalent one too?

[@shibez]

Inquisitve m I didn't buy the matching dryer since my old one is still going strong.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Love it! Especially for $400, which is what I paid. I've had it about 3 or 4 weeks now and done maybe 8 loads. No problems. Uses plenty of water with the Deep Rinse button and gets clothes clean. Can't see why anyone would not like this washer unless they are looking for a spin cycle that is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. And to get that you're gonna pay a lot more than $400!

[@inquisitvem6723]

They have a gas dryer for this model too? You didn't want to get that one? Gas should dry faster right?

Sales person at Sears said she is always getting this 3.8 cu. ft. washer back for not spinning enough water out of the clothes. The clothes are still wet, at least that is what she told me. She said the 4.2 cu. ft. doesn't have that problem, she doesn't know why.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Don't know about that. The spin cycle on this washer gets the clothes about the same dryness as every other washer I've used or owned in the last 25 years. Don't remember reading too many bad reviews on this washer other than some people complaining that the spin cycle was too loud. I wouldn't have gotten it if the reviews weren't pretty good. Still very happy with mine (as is a friend I know that has one) after 5 months or so.

[@TotallyTyra]

This happened when I did a speed cycle but then I turned it to drain and spin and the clothes were fine. I don't know if that's normal. We've only had it for a day. I'm going to read the manual lol. Might return it.

[@TotallyTyra]

Kept this washer for almost 2 weeks and the same thing kept happening. Clothes sopping wet! It was random no matter how big or small the load was! Had Lowe's pick it up today and ordered a Kenmore from Sears instead. Sigh.

[@psdaengr911]

The 4.2 machine and the smaller one share most of the same guts.The larger basket creates higher centrifugal force over a larger drum surface during spin cycle, better water extraction in the same time.

[@justinfisher5175]

Ugh! Why do ppl put the soap right on the clothes! Lol wait till it fills up or put it in first so it blends in everywhere

[@herecomesdatrain]

It could possibly stain your clothes if you add detergent on top of clothes before the washer starts

[@jemmagirl1075]

I just ordered one last night.. Not alot of choices for washers with agitators anymore.. From my research I find the washers without agitators don't clean as well. Friends with front loaders and low water washers say some of the clothes don't even get wet. So (from what I've read), machines without agitators can fit more clothes and are more gentle on the clothes (but isn't that what agitators on gentle cycle is for), but the machines with agitators clean much better.. Machine is coming on Sat.. Guess I'll find out soon enough!!

Worst washer-dryer combo especially if you have a big family who wants to wash their clothes separately. Washer makes loud noises during wash (and especially spin cycle (sounded like someone banging the wall). The washer is not even full and heavy load is not an option for us. We had to wash our robe with just 1-2 towels as it couldn’t handle it. Broke down after a year and a half. As for the dryer, its dial is quite fragile. Been replaced twice in 2 years.

[@BionicWoman1]

I was hoping for a GE video. This guy doesn't follow the printed instructions; adds the detergent on top, instead of on the bottom, like the instructions say to do. I wanted to make sure all the sounds that I am hearing are normal. He doesn't take us to the end, which is where I am concerned. Also, you are advised not to open the lid while in the fill stage.

If you are killing 2 machines each in 2 years, the common denominator is you. The only washers sold in the US that aren't made on the American continent have obvious foreign names. Ge Appliance Co was bought by Haier, after Ge had been losing its shirt making machines of declining quality under Jack Welsh's successors.. The Ge brand major appliances are still built by US workers in the same US plants that Ge operated for decades. Haier has gutted those plants, modernized the production and has the workers actively engaged in the same continuous improvement process that Elon Musk uses at Tesla. Haier is a major success story in Asia having created a company based on high quality for affordable priced while competitors produced low quality junk.
