Thanks for posting this concise presentation; 'Greatly Appreciate' you doing so😊 Our 25yr. old Kenmore was still functioning well, but enclosure was 'rusting out'. Hope we are as fortunate with getting many trouble-free years of service from our new GE GTW465🤞

Got this washer a week ago. Noise level is fine, my old Kenmore was loud compared to this GE. Time length on washing cycle depends on what you set it on. Ran max water Hot towel setting with deep rinse (fabric softener setting) and took 1hour to wash. Ran max water hot setting with heavy cycle and extra spin, took 1 hour and 10 minutes. Ran high water cold normal cycle alone and it took 45 minutes. Over all I am satisfied with this washer, hopefully nothing changes. I did get mine from Home Depot with extended warranty, just in case.

FYI: We just bought one of these. Be warned that the agitation cycle is insanely loud and irritating - like a dying duck. I thought the motor was broken until I did some quick KZread searches. Nope. GE says it's normal.

Just exaclty what I was looking for 🙁

I don't care if the noise equals the deck of an aircraft carrier. After several years of having several different machines that were beautiful and jam packed with bells and whistles, I was ready to crawl over hot coals if it would appease the washing powers. The discussions by washing researchers were sometimes unbelievably condescending and/rude. They talked about how rigidly the new machines were tested and the new machines, with their low water usage, high efficiency detergents got clothes cleaner than before. As for people complaining about clothesnot even being completely wet at the end of the cycle, clothes not rinsing and having soap visibly stuck to clothes was always consumer fault. But now I have this machine. It has a working, not fake agitator, enough water to completely submerge clothes and I can soak, agitate, soak, agitate to my hearts content! GE, I would give you my first born as tribute but you'd just give her back so I'll just say thank you for hearing our anguished cries.

I just purchased this machine. I am having trouble with the water level. No matter the water level I choose, and no matter how large the load, it will only put appro, 8" of water in my tub. Any suggestions?

Best tutorial on this washer I've been able to find! THANK YOU!!🤩 We've always purchased Kenmore in the past but all the sears closed in our area so I had to to Google other USA made products and GE's reviews were right up there with Maytag etc. Our old Kenmore elite was the impeller type and I could fit our king comforter in it no prob ... I'm kicking my own butt for not getting the GE model with the removable agitator.😬

Thank you. Found what I was looking for 6:20 The whole drum moves and shifts. It's unstable and I was wondering if that was normal. And also the grinding noise is ridiculous, but I see that's normal too.

I just purchased this machine and running 1st load as I write this. Thanks for a simple review of the the controls. Every video had longwinded complaints on how the machine makes noise. Seems to run fine. My 20 year old Maytag finally broke. I did try to repair but the upper transmission bearing was bad. To much to fix. Got mine at PC Richard for $540.

How does it regulate the water temperature? A thermostat? What degrees are the water at for hot, warm, cold?

No, it does not. This is from the GE website..... TOP LOAD WASHER FILTERING SYSTEMS 2001 AND NEWER The Fine Mesh filters were removed from under the agitator when it was found that a better pump and larger holes in the hub under the agitator did a better job of removing lint and preventing clogs in the drain system. The drain system allows water to flow through the basket and out the bottom of the tub pulling lint, hair and small particles with the water. There is no maintenance required on this system, so there is not a way to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance.

when it goes off balance is a way to stop besides just putting the pause how can I open it it goes into lid lock yet it is still going out of control. Is there a way to stop the lid lock I do not have any children at home I do not like the fact that I have to wait a couple of minutes for the lid lock to turn off.

I had the same question. Yes, I did read the instructions. They are very brief and just bare basics.

I just got this washer and I am missing my old hydrowave already. That machine needed a valve replacement and started making a clicking noise but wouldn't spin the drum -unless you waited a while, moved the tub, prayed to the laundry gods with a chicken bone, etc. Figured the repair cost might be close to a new washer anyways so I jumped and got this. Ugh. At least I know the grinding noise is expected but the spin cycle scares me. The whole bloody machine shakes like a terrible twos toddler and, if not for being in drain pain, I'm sure it would have moved closer to harass my dryer. I really miss my quiet, no-longer-made, ge hydrowave....

Ummm yes I want to put a king size comforter in here. Good gravy. I'm so tired of these new machines.

Omg. After reading these reviews. I cant even return mines like some of yall on here wow. The noise is crazy and i tried 2 loads and each time they was finished the cloths like soaking wet. I tried to add extra spin but it took longer and seem like it did more than just that so id rather leave the extra spin but dang. Both times cloths like soaking wet when done i hope im not the only one. This hurts me.

If the lid isn't lifted within 24 hrs it will automatically drain. Since nobody does that, I will let it agitate for 5 ish minutes then push pause. Our clothes get really dirty so this is best for us. I pretty much leave it on deep fill for rinse even though I don't use fabric softener. I fill the dispenser on top of the agitator with vinegar instead.

I'll pause the washer. Later when I am in the laundry room, I'll start it and let it agitate for the 5 minutes or so I'm in there. I pause it on my way out. Because I can look at the water, I know if they are getting clean. Recently I started reading different posts about clothes 'stripping'. There's a lot of them. What really makes me wanna pull out my hair is the HE washers have been around long enough that young adults don't know anything else. They don't know that there was a time when it wasn't necessary to soak your clean clothes in the bathtub to get all the gunk out. Then I hear manufacturers talking about this as if it is all part of being a grown up, people have always done this. Talk about propaganda! I hoped, when people first started the stripping thing, that when they saw just how bad the HE washers are that there would be some blow back to the manufacturers. I have sung the praises of this washer hoping people would maybe demand better washers and manufacturers would go back. The washer I sent back, before I found this one, had an agitator. I thought yippy. When my clothes were semi wet and still dirty, I looked closer. Turned out the agitator was a prop! It didn't even move. It was a center post piece shaped like an agitator but underneath, not actually connected to the prop agitator, was an impeller. That thing that just barely does about a half a swish. It was a fake and I fell for it. I couldn't believe a manufacturer would go to all the trouble to make a fake piece to fool all those ignorant people who refuse to believe they only need an occasional half hearted swish to get their clothes clean. Well, half hearted swish and a big bathtub. Please let me know. If you hate it, please let me know.
