[@vfrpipe]

My Precise Fill does maybe 1/3 of the water in this video. I feel like all it is doing is beating up damp clothes. I know they say it uses less water than what you're used to, but I feel like the clothes should at least be sitting in some appreciable amount of water. I'd like to use it, but can't trust it. Gotta go old school "select a level" with mine. Super fast washes, though.

[@mathiassarvesh4884]

I started recently having the same issue as well. Not sure if you found a way to fix it or what. I thought about doing the reset to see if that would work or not.

[@vfrpipe]

@@mathiassarvesh4884 never figured it out. I choose water level every time

[@mathiassarvesh4884]

@@vfrpipe Damn really? Did you try the ge washer reset feature to see if that worked?

[@mathiassarvesh4884]

@@vfrpipe Also, before I forget. Before you fill it up with water, you dont have like any extra water in the washer do you? Like at the bottom. Not inside where you put the clothes in but like below that where it all drains from. My washer started acting up after the winter storm that hit Texas. I dont recall it being there before.

[@vfrpipe]

@@mathiassarvesh4884 I haven’t tried a reset, beyond unplugging it, which I’ve done, anyway. No extra water in the machine.

[@peters4219]

Kirk thank you for posting - good point that the adj works well with smaller loads as well as bigger ones! Not a bad washer for the $400 range.

[@LlyleHunter]

Which is all that's really needed. Thank goodness that there's a good machine in this range.

[@pauletteschiowitz8989]

This is the video I needed to see. If mine lasts for 3 years, I’ll be happy. Btw, I paid $700 for mine, way too much but it was the same price at the other places. Worth about $350

[@Ikey04-ge9gy]

3 years later… how is it??

[@pauletteschiowitz8989]

I found out that you’re better off just doing normal wash. The other settings don’t do anything. When I lift my lid, the water stops

[@petermaz701]

Powerful washing, looks like it could clean heavy soiled items. I definitely would use a lighter wash cycle with this washer for everyday wear. The agitator makes all the difference since it has those added side panels. Not only is the wash plate moving the clothes but it acts as a straight vane agitator as well.

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

no turnover

[@rebeloslawncarenbma4993]

As someone who went from owning a speed queen at my old house (city water) to purchasing a new home in rural NH with a 25ft dug well & purchasing the cheaper hotpoint version of this washer I can honestly say it impressed me! It does a great job at cleaning soiled items. Especially my clothes. (Own a landscaping company & always come home filthy)

[@jeromedavis8575]

I like GE. I wish we could hear the motor up close.

[@jeromedavis8575]

I like using heavy soiled cycles on cotton based cycles such as normal colors.

[@marysmith4811]

It's powerful, but nothing like the old ones. It will not ruin clothing even at the higher setting.

[@marysmith4811]

If anyone is interested...I bought the 2019 version of this and I do like it a lot. It is as close to the old agitators as you can get. I had a ketchup spill that it cleaned up great, and it also did a great job on ring around the collar WITHOUT pre treating/scrubbing. Not a cotton shirt, but still very impressive.

[@jeromedavis8575]

I wonder how it will do on heavily soiled cottons like jeans and t-shirts.

[@marysmith4811]

@@jeromedavis8575 This works pretty well at getting out dirt. It was the closes machine to the old ones that actually moved clothes. The problem with this machine and others now, is that the barrel moves around, unlike the old ones that were fixed. Therefore, the machines that actually do a good job of agitating, also move around the room. I would love to know who designs this stuff. What is the purpose of the moving barrel?

[@jeromedavis8575]

@@marysmith4811 And, the older ones had a real transmission, especially the beloved filter-flo that I miss so dearly. It got even the dirtiest blue jeans cleaned.

[@jasonperault4206]

We bought this washer 2 week’s ago to replace a 3 year old Kenmore HE top loader. We love it! We have 3 kids and lots of laundry. The one quirk we’ve noticed is if you select “cool” temp for the water, then it’s a different temp depending on what cycle you choose. The cool for whites is warmer different than the cool for casual. Otherwise, we are pleased.

[@kirkrivas8172]

Thanks for posting the comment. Keep us updated on your experiences with your washer.

[@toxclegend]

In the manual it says that selecting any of the 3 whites cycles uses a specific water temp no matter which you select on the knob. The 3 colors cycles let you choose which water temp to use.

[@lakewebsterkid]

@@toxclegend Wow, I have a similar model and didn't know this. Thanks!

[@jeromedavis8575]

Nice washer! If you get the GE smart dispense with laundry detergent and fabric softener tanks, I'd like to see it on normal.

[@elisabettasieradzki96]

I love top washers with glass lid so i can check without opening lid

[@fabianramos-up6wm]

Washing machines meant to clean clothes, Not sure why you would wanna look into it, But i gotta admit, I wish my washing machine had a glass top.

[@spoon6564]

I'm guessing GE and Speed Queen use a more sensitive load sensor in their machines hence why they both filled with more water.

[@paulinewaters5223]

The one we got as soon as it starts to wash it turns completely off, reset doesn't help fix the issue,does the same thing over andover

[@LlyleHunter]

Kirk, If you look at the inside of the cap on the detergent bottle you'll find that there are measurements that tell you how much detergent to put in. This load only needed to go to the first level based on the load size. On a front loader this could have resulted in hours of repeated rinses. This is a really great performing machine. I agree with you about the combined washplate with center post. Whirlpool currently offers that combination with Maytag's agitator line but the Whirlpool, Amana, and Roper 4816 machines use a traditional finned design which I'd like to see changed as the machine starts agitation with so little water. They're still some of the most reliable machines on the market which is my only area of concern with this GE. I hope that they've turned a corner with this series and that it's consistent reliability starts to show up in the stats soon.

[@kirkrivas8172]

Thanks Bruce, you always have good information.

[@richardrodgers693]

pat cola 9

[@AVToth]

I prefer finned. The clothes in this video aren't using enough water and that's where fins could be a problem. I don't use precise fill. How is it precise? Is it weighing the dirt? If 9 shirts are worn in an office and the same shirts worn to work outside, how will precise fill help? Selecting load type & how dirty etc. doesn't really work. I love this machine. People also need to ditch HE soap.

That'd be interesting to see. It's the samsung flex wash, and I'm kinda interested too.

[@robolsen3506]

That rinse cycle looked like it was the wash cycle there was so many suds!

[@kirkrivas8172]

Too much soap Rob. The amount of soap is based on load size and do not forget water hardness. Water hardness has a great impact on soap. Good observation though, thanks for the comment.

[@minivanventuring]

Well I went from having a dual action agitator on the Amana and then I went to the Samsung with the impeller but I'm paying monthly so clearly I switched to this one here my sister and my cousin have it and don't have any problems so I'm hoping for the best.

[@user-tt7kd5jp8w]

How do you add more water

[@guidorrmc7618]

I just bought this model and was wondering about the cabinet vibration on spin. I leveled it, though it’s tough due to the top shape. It stays planted in place. How much vibration do you experience?

[@kirkrivas8172]

These machines are pretty light weight. Unbalanced loads will bang for a little bit but will spin out of it and smooth out, Vibration is normal. You will not be able to balance a nickel on its side while it's spinning like a Speed Queen. Without being there, I'ts hard to say. Call 1-800-GE-CARES and have them check it under warranty.

[@pauletteschiowitz8989]

Way less than my previous Samsung

[@marysmith4811]

Can someone please tell me the hack to keep door open for soaking? I had figured it out a few years ago, but have since forgotten! Thank you!

[@alexiswhitehurst4702]

The magnet on the lid you remove from lid to where it would latch on the bottom where you would close it.

[@laydkaggy]

I just bought this GE machine, exact model and it doesn't do any of what this machine does. it doesn't spin when it first comes on nor does it fill up over the bottom of the agitator. I had send it back because the water level . They replaced it and it's doing the same thing. Now we have had several washer and they water filled the machine. so my husband had to add water since our clothes were it in order to wash them. I have put it on ever water level and done everything they told me. I'm looking for the old school push and pull machines . I like it but until then I'll have to move on and try another machine.

[@albertcarello7328]

There should be spray rinses during the slower part of the spin cycles before the basket goes into full speed mode.

[@jjwiseman2402]

There is. It’s on a certain stetting on this washer

[@funkybunch81]

I have this washer and it's not spinning or agitating at all now. Any idea on how to fix the issue? Can't find any repair videos on youtube, and there is no front panel on this unit that opens.... seems like a nightmare to fix.

[@kirkrivas8172]

Lid switch? This is a cheap place to start, but I'm sure someone on the channel may know for sure.

[@funkybunch81]

Thanks for the reply. The lid is locked. The fill cycle completes and when it's time to agitate I'm getting sort of a humming or buzzing sound.

[@b_thebeat05]

My mom has the same washer as this one.

[@nevco959]

Interesting video, thank you for posting. Question: the rinse cycle is only 3 minutes, is that enough? Water level looks low but a different setting might change that. I have no use for HE machines, want an actual agitator washer. My favorites--Kenmore and Whirlpool--apparently do not make "regular" washers any more, so I will consider a GE when having to buy. Another question: are the machines durable and will they last?

[@toxclegend]

On my washer, which is the gtw335, if I use precise fill and turn on deep rinse, the rinse water level seems to fill to the next water level. For example: if the medium water level setting fills e basket to 1/2 and next time you use precise fill, you notice that the water level was a little below the 1/2 mark, the rinse water level will most likely fill to that 1/2 mark even if the water level for the wash portion was less than that. Hope this makes sense, I’m crap at explaining stuff lol.

This washer has both an impeller and an agitator.

[@majinally3527]

i have the same washer and he actually used too much soap. these are made to prevent over sudsing and that’s the point of using “deep rinse”. it’s not only for fabric softener but it’s also to make sure you don’t have soap residue left. that’s why these use less water. 2 squirts would’ve been fine

[@marcusmarkus3266]

Agitation is entirely too rough... those clothes will show wear after a couple of washes.. This load needs more water...Don't know who currently makes GE washers but they should go back and look at the models made in the 60s and 70s .. with the filter flo and try to remake those models. great post though

[@MJ-cc4uf]

I've had this washer since May 2016 and my clothes are still wearable. The level he used was the precise fill which add water based on the weight of the clothes being washed.
