I got my GE Profile at the beginning of the week. $1998 from Home Depot and I love it. Been doing a little laundry every day to try different types of loads. Our old units were front loading 10 year old Samsung washer and dryer. We use a lot less power to wash and it does a better job of cleaning our clothes.
@@hypersonichobo4263 I have, and their claims are correct. Since it's using a heat pump instead of a resistive element, the air is super-dry, and only gently warm. It doesn't get hot enough to shrink or damage fragile items. Also, if you wished, the machine will dry with zero heat, but that takes a lot of time. I've dried a wool pair of slacks and had no felting or pilling.
@@migbham1 man I'm kinda scared to try that not gonna lie. I'll see if I can find something old lol to prove it. Kinda like when they say an inductive stove is cool and you can touch it. How wrinkly are your nicer clothes when they come out?
@@hypersonichobo4263 Funny you'd mention the induction stove. 😊 I replaced my glass halogen range like a decade ago with an induction one, and I really can't imagine cooking on anything else. Instant heat, and instant cool when you lower the heat, and they really do remain cool enough to touch. When I fry bacon, I lay paper towels down between the glass top and the iron skillet. I've so far not pulled anything out of the unit that is wrinkled. They've all come out nice and fluffy and warm. The bonus is that because it uses very gentle heat, I get zero static cling. I'm not sure what your definition of nice clothes is, but for things like dress shirts, I normally take those to the cleaners so that they get pressed. I laundered a load of polo shirts shirts on Friday, and they came our with no wrinkles. My bedsheets are 1000 thread count supima cotton, and likewise, no wrinkles assuming I pull them out when they're done and don't let them sit.
Its a really great concept. I bought one in September 2023 and it is amazing to start a load and wake up to dry clothes. I also love the energy saving aspects to reduce costs. Unfortunately 3 months after getting mine, it stopped heating and I am now entering my 4th month of it not working after 4 visits from techs that aren't familiar with the machine (and we live near Atlanta so you wouldn't think that would be an issue), waiting for weeks on backordered parts, and now they are saying I need to have the entire heat exchanger replaced. My wife is frustrated beyond belief and I wish I had never purchased this unit. All I get is the runaround and no resolution from anyone. This morning she indicated that it isn't even draining all the water and there isn't a way to run just a spin cycle like you can with other units to try and get it to re-spin the clothes dry so we can then move them into our old dryer to dry them like we have been doing for the past 4 months. I regrettably recommend you avoid this model.
I agree with making sure to order your pedestal with the machine so the delivery people will install it for you. They will not do it unless they come together and they deliver both. Just make sure to watch them as both the pedestal and the machine will need to have the leveling feet/legs attached. Ours was installed without the feet on the bottom of the machine, and only on the pedestal. This caused the machine to shake violently. We had to have another set mailed out to us and then GE service came out and installed them. Just helping out others that may be purchading the pedestal. Other than that little mishap, I love my machine and it was worth every penny I spent on it.
Are you saying the pedestal comes with leveling feet. Mine did but how can I tell if the machine itself has leveling feet on or if they took the ones off the machine and put them on the pedestal
Got mine yesterday 7-22-23 washed 2 loads and yes the clothes feel damp but all you do is shake them, happy I saw a couple of videos covering that or I would've thought they were still wet lol. This thing is awesome no need to add detergent or softener manually everytime it does by itself just put the dirty clothes in and they come out dry and smelling nice it's great. GG GE 😁👍
@traybern Laundry mat, not my machine, don't know how much water it's using, so I just fill the cap, throw it in. Yes, potentially wasted. Oh, well, water under the bridge. Ancient history now lol.
My husband just got me this weekend. I have used it once and I am in loved! Badcock is closing all stores and we were able to get a NEW one for 1300.00! ❤
Hi, Matt. Great video. I have had mine for a few months now and I am not particularly happy with it. First, I absolutely HATE the lint screen and opening. There is just so very much lint not only on the screen itself but also the inside of the machine. I do my best, but I have yet to be able to clear all the stray lint out of the opening. The foam becomes so coated in dust and it is almost impossible to really clean. In watching your video, your detergent trays are nice and dry. Mine have NEVER been dry since I started using the machine. All of the slots on the detergent side are always filled with water and NEVER drain. The only time everything is dry is when I physically dry the inside myself. The rubber ring always has lint, hairs, etc., and everything is basically baked on. I can only remove it if I use a lot of water. I also have an issue with lighter items getting stuck behind the fins and remaining absolutely wet, not damp. I then have to run a separate dry only cycle once I take everything else out in order to dry the items that were left wet. I have spoken to customer service. They did sent out someone to look at the lint screen and determined everything was fine. They had no explanation for why the water will not drain from the detergent and said, "Well, just keep drying manually." The outside filter is so extremely low to the ground that water gets everywhere each time I have had to clean it. The only thing that I really like about this machine is being able to control cycles from the app and the notifications. I have yet to decide if I want to keep it or sell it and just go back to separate stackable units.
Just bought 1 today homedepot was kind enough to honor the $1998 sale from around july4th so got a good deal. Sold my other units LG which were great but had to try this new product. I hope we love it so for when it goes on sale again at under $2k we shall buy another.
FINALLY a video that does not have cheesy music but just explaining the product thank you very much! I just use my GE profile combo yesterday for the first time and you're right you don't really need to use dryer sheets unless you want your clothes to smell flowery because of the fact that there's not all this convection heat like use with a regular dryer you're not going to get that static. I did have a bit of trouble trying to hook up the app to the machine because it was asking for the serial number and the model number and I don't know where the serial number is I have to look again I guess. Some people complain because it's closed can be slightly damp but once you take them out and shake them out they're fine. I mean this is an incredibly energy-efficient machine.
We had to get one of these because our current dryer was blowing lint through a vent straight into the crawl space. California home insurance wouldn’t cover us unless we fixed this. It was going to cost 5k to redo the vents in the house so it actually was cheaper to just get this. So far no issues except that you need to put it on extra dry and wrinkle control for sheets. I like the feature of not having to move the clothes. I am a little worried about what happens if it breaks so looks like we will have to maintain it well
LOL.. I haven't used one of these myself...my recollection of a dryer from hell was one of those 1990s Kenmore stackable .. only the dryer was 110V and that thing took forEVER to dry a load of clothes. I think also possibly the vent might have been somewhat obstructed. I rented so I never messed with it... I only lived there 6 months but I hated that dryer with a red hot fiery passion
Mine came today. Whilst I was was awaiting delivery I was watching your video. Now I am reading the manual. The 4th safety bullet point says Do Not use fabric softner or products to eliminate static cling unless reccmmended by the manufacturer of the fabric softerner product. So I guess it a good thing you have not done so.
Regarding question number 3, one significant factor contributing to prolonged drying times in certain cases is the presence of lint. Allow me to elaborate: 1. Firstly, if your garments accumulate a substantial amount of lint, it's essential to meticulously clean the lint filter. 2. Secondly, should lint manage to bypass the lint filter, it can start obstructing the condenser. It's worth noting that the dryer in this unit functions akin to a dehumidifier. Consequently, when lint obstructs the condenser's airflow, it adversely impacts the drying process. 3. G.E. offers a specialized wire brush designed specifically for removing lint from areas where it shouldn't accumulate. Apart from this consideration, I have a profound appreciation for my G.E. Profile dryer.
I love ours so much! Been waiting forever for my washer and dryer to die and when it finally did, my husband got it. It's nice to just leave a laundry and run errands and not worry. And it takes off our dog hair! It's so nice!
I'm cleaning mine, when needed, by using a long duster or my Dyson with a long flexible extension. I suspect we're going to find that the heat exchanger maintenance will be a bit more frequent than one would've hoped and that a future model is going to have a better design on the filter.
Thank you so much for clarifying the Canadian version! Can't wait to get one here soon. I think im going to a road trip soon to US and get one hauled back to Canada. 🙂 Thanks for the update and video.
We received our GE WASHER ON DECEMBER 2nd. The other day, the dryer just stopped working. The dryer keeps going for hours but doesn’t dry now. I don’t know why. We watched your video and we are going to try your suggestions.
I sell appliances and the units that took 5 hours to wash and dry were the old LG combo units and some other Generic brands.. Thats why this GE is so nice..
This thing is amazing! Do you need to leave the door cracked up a little to prevent the mold smell? I remember this being the general advice for Front Load Washers in the past, but is that still the case?
Is it possible to pull out the detergent dispenser for cleaning?. Also would be great to see you clean the bottom filter and see how that works. Thanks for doing these videos!
I washed two loads before it quit. I had a power failure and now the GE Profile no longer responds to anything. The power light just flashes. Service is coming out Wednesday. I'll ask them, but I'll put forth the question first here. Should there be a surge protector installed between the socket and the washer?
you could also select wash only/no dry, then go take out items you don't want to dry, before starting a dry only cycle if you are concerned about missing the 'wash complete' notification
I have one too. I love it but it is SO loud and shakes my house. It is level and I have the pads under the feet. Its on the 1st floor of my house so I think that is the reason and not a concrete basement floor. Other then that I do really love it!!! Does everything he says. Also if you use your military discount it is not valid on appliances however if you buy it online it will allow the discount to go thru :)
Just an FYI. Home Depot doesn’t do military discount on special order merchandise. This product will have to be delivered from the manufacturer when you place the order. Yes, there’s always an exception to the rule. They might have it on hand.
We just bought this machine and I'm not sure if it is normal operation but if we want to de-wrinkle some clothes, and put them in there selecting only the dry cycle, it sprays them with water for a few seconds before it starts to dry. Is that normal? If so is there a way to stop that?
These are really nice machines. From what I've heard the full wash/dry cycle takes anywhere from a little over an hour to 2 hours. Definitely not 5 hours!
I discovered that a residue had built up on the mesh side of the filter, thus causing a limitation in air flow and resulting damp laundry. It took longer and longer for each load to finish, and hardly any lint was being produced. Once I washed the filter, the next load was dry and a massive amount of lint being held back spread onto the filter. I blame either Downey softener or Oxiiclean powder for that residue. Also it is important to wash fine lint off of the foam filter. I do that about weekly.
Matthew, you don't fully understand how this washer/dryer works. Yes, it uses a heat pump. A heat pump moves heat, it does not create it. The electricity drives the drum rotation and the heat pump, which moves fluid between an evaporator and a condenser. The condenser, which is cold, causes moisture passing over it to condense out, drying the air that is then blown back through the drum during the drying cycle. That moisture (condensate) is then routed out the drain pipe. The same drain pipe where water squeezed out during the spin cycle exits the machine. I suspect it is accumulated in a sump and pumped out using the same pump that empties the spin cycle water. BTW. This is not new technology. We owned an AEG Lavalux washer drier combo back in Britain in the 1970s. It did not use a heat pump, but was a top-loaded washer and dryer. It probably only held half what this new GE machine does and was a little noisier, but it was on wheels and could be wheeled into a cupboard when not in use.
Does the top of your unit feel ‘warm’ near the area where the heat pump is? I ask because mine doesn’t feel any type of warm. Do the clothes feel warm when they are done? We just got the machine and I’ve tried six different times and so far unsuccessful. Last night we did fix the drain hose which was indeed way too far in. So the stuff was coming out dripping. Today with the hose fixed the clothes are not sopping wet, but they are WET. I tried towels I tried some t shirts Tried scrubs Small loads, medium loads My boyfriend is about to kill me 😂 I begged for this damn thing. And he’s convinced it’s a piece of garbage lol
Two questions I haven't been able to find answers to that I'm hoping you can address: Can you install the app on two phones and create different custom settings from each? With the much cooler drying cycle, I'm assuming it is much gentler on clothes and thus some things that one might have taken out to hang dry no longer need to be removed. Is that your experience?
I noticed that you have a rubber, hot and cold water hose for your washer. Technically, it’s recommended to use a stainless steel hose for the washer. Thank you for your information. I appreciate it very much, I just got my GE combo washer on August 5TH, and I love it
Just got my GE Profile Combo today and I was surprised at how much pet hair it removed from my cloths and that they didn't come out full of static. However, I feel like I'm in the best-case scenario for drying when I pull the cloths out at about 40% humidity. I can imagine someone that lives in a much more humid environment of 80% and above complaining about the cloths not drying when they are pulled out.
I’ve had my combo for a week now. I live in the deep south and it’s very hot and humid here! I haven’t had my clothes come out damp at all. I’m very impressed with this machine!
I purchased my unit from my local Lowes store. I had a major issue with their delivery services but that a story for another day. I’m concerned because even though my unit is level and sits on a concrete slab, it is super loud. It makes a high pitched humming sound while it’s spinning out a load. It also makes a knocking sound while drying but it’s not coming from the drum but in the top of the machine.
I've had this model for about a month. I too was interested in the electricity usage. Using a Kasa smart plug with energy monitor it recorded 1.35kWh for a very full (with towels) load on extra heavy soil that took about 2.5 hours. That is amazingly little electricity. However, the Kasa shows that it continues to use electricity while off. Not a huge amount, but it could use more in the many standby hours than washing if you don't wash a lot. I have other appliances (Samsung dishwasher & fridge, Rheem heat pump water heater) that have very good energy monitoring features in their apps. GE (Hair) missed a great feature, and that' my biggest complaint. I have massive solar, so the cost is not selling to the utility. They pay me about $0.03224/kWh so less than 5 cents out of my pocket to wash a dry that load. Mine is on a 13in universal pedestal with a drawer. Being rated for 600lbs, it has no problem. I did lift it myself with a 1A ladder and some ratchet straps.This GE is actually about 15lbs lighter than my old Samsung FlexWash.
Hi, Matthew Wallace. Question for you... Have you had an opportunity yet to peek inside of the slot where the lint filter goes when the filter is out? I've had my unit for 3 weeks now, and am fastidious about keeping the filter cleaned. I am seeing, however, that quite a bit of lint is either making it's way around the filter to the evaporator core fins, or lint is getting knocked loose from the filter during removal and then getting sucked into the fins. Are you seeing any of the same? This has caught my eye after just a few weeks of use to the degree that I've already taken my vacuum cleaner with a long flexible hose and sucked lint off of the fins. I don't see an obvious way to open the top of this unit to really clean those, when needed, but the design causes me to predict that these are going to clog and reduce airflow over not too much time. Have you looked at yours, and if so, wondering whether you have any observations or thoughts? I needed a flashlight to see the fins well.
can I make a suggestion: Get a small BAGGED vacuum cleaner and leave it in the laundry room and use the vacuum to clean up the lint (hopefully it isn't wet lint) Laundry creates a lot of dust and I can't live without a vacuum in my laundry room... It takes forever to fill a bag and the bag never smells because the only thing it in is clean lint
Do you know if anyone on this channel has posted having two of these units and using them in a parallel fashion? I understand both will need H/C water supply and both would need to drain. Can both be used out of one 120V outlet (both plugged into the one wall outlet). Thank you for your review!
I think they draw 11 amps max depending on the cycle, per machine so you are exceeding the load of a modern 20 amp circuit.guess you could get a shirt heavy duty extension cord or install another circuit in your laundry.
if you have a 240v outlet available GE sells a splitter for 2 120 plugs so you can run in tandem. if you don’t have an existing 240v you would need 2 110v dedicated circuits. GE has a few views for setting up tandem One and Done units
We leveled the thing. Put the first load in and it rocked and banged around on the first spin before it started washing. It was a normal load. I have a drain matt under it. Should i take it out?
are you seeing lint in your door seal? We just got ours today and we have quite a bit of lint sticking to it and see lint. My wife does not want to be wiping the seals down every load thinking of returning them.
Just got this and it is extremely heavy and the clothes don't seem to dry all the way.. About as heavy as a large refrigerator. Clothes come out a little damp.I would return it but I need the drye r220 power for an rv hookup as my breakerbox is full. 6/10 Better options if you don't need the power or space saving. Paid 2400 at lowes.
Me and my wife used this yesterday for the first time and it’s really loud!!! Now I don’t know if it’s just mine or what but it shakes really bad also! Help!?
The biggest complaint I read with those that purchased this model was the clothes being a little damp after the drying cycle. Do you find any dampness when your wash is completed.
My combo still has water droplets left on the blue seal after the dryer is done. So basically I’m pulling out dry clothes over the wetness of the blue seal.
I bought two units from Nebraska Furniture Mart for $3500 for their 4th of July sale plus a discount code and have been using them for a couple weeks now. My entire family loves them. If you’re in the market and can afford the price tag, it’s an awesome machine! I did however buy the pedestals direct from GE and put them on myself with a little help from my wife. Just put some old blankets down and carefully tip the machine on its back, a few brackets and screws and boom. It really wasn’t too difficult, just remember to lift with your legs
It seems that the pedestals don’t lift them up high enough. I’m considering buying two stand and building custom bases for them at the height that we would like.
Can you please post a video of the the machine first running? I got one of these and when it first starts and it’s doing the learning or measuring of the load and it’s spinning up it makes a high pitch sound like a jet engine. Just wondering if that sound is normal. I don’t hear that sound outside of this part of the cycle. Would highly appreciate it!
It's normal. It turn the tub light on and you'll see what it's doing. It does a very brief high speed spin in order to sense the weight of the load dry.
My question which was not asked is, is this washer /dryer like all other front loaders where you must keep the door open to keep the seal dry and does the fabric softener leave a musty smell? With it being a dryer I wonder if those issues are alleviated?
Does it have a heating element to super heat the water for sanitation cycles? Notice it has “sanitize with oxi” which implies that it cannot bring the water up to a higher temp to kill bacteria without a bleaching or oxidation agent.
Matthew, can the door be reversed to open the opposite side? Also, is it supposed to make banging around and sound like a jet taking off!! I only got it yesterday and have had to call the repair people already. It’s really hard to tell if it is off balance since it weighs almost 300lbs, it feels like it is sitting flat.
I live in a rental 2nd floor apt. Do you think it's appropriate for it? Can I use regular US outlet to plug it in? Is it super heavy bc I live on second floor? Thanks
FYI, Home Depot does not give the Veteran discount for this washer. I know because I went to order it and the vet discount won't apply. I ordered thru Costco on 11-23-23 and paid $1850 plus $129 tax. That includes delivery, setup and haul-away of my old washer and dryer, which I'll store in the garage to make sure my wife is happy with this GE. FYI, I LOVE that this runs on 120V only. Also, it does not require a vent, so no vent cleanouts anymore. And the 120V makes it possible to run from my EcoFlow Delta Pro battery generators. That's great for a grid down situation, which we've experienced after hurricanes. (no fun being without power for 10 days. And my generator burns thru gas.)
@traybern LOL, that's a bit of an overreaction. I chose to simply buy it elsewhere. But I'll keep that advice in mind if they give me a hassle in the future!
Big question: what are you going to do with all that extra space? When you said 2 dogs and showed the pic of them I thought it looked like 4 dogs, lol bet the hair seems like it is 4 sometimes! I’ve downsized to one small dog and the amount of fur still surprises me since she doesn’t seem to shed. Mine doesn’t come until next week so I’m having fun watching these videos. I was dismayed to read you shouldn’t use vinegar as it will degrade some parts, then I read that that is true with most modern washers. Also in the Q&A on GE’s site someone asked about Lysol wash sanitizer and they said they haven’t tested it yet, so I guess I’ll give away my big bottle.
RedErin, I have to agree about using vinegar. My wife has been using vinegar. I looked in the washer and saw paint bubbled where the water is dispensed into the tub. I reached around back and the metal just crumbled away. LOL, I used this as a justification to buy the GE washer/dryer combo. And no more using of vinegar.
10:22 PM Tue Apr 16 cani add sanitizer liquid to the rinse and dry cycle on ge profile all in one heatpump washer dryer combo? I,ran a wash dry but forgot the sanitizer…can I add the (Lysol sanitizer liquid product) to the rinse and dry cycle?
Is there a trick to moving this? Ours is on tile, and we can't get to the back of it, and we need to move it out to get to something behind it. The store delivery men sprayed the tile with something to make it slide better but not sure what it was or if it was the best idea. Suggestions?
Every time I finish drying my clothes comes out wrinkly, I’ve tried wrinkle care and the wrinkle remover setting but nothing really works. Does anyone have any suggestions, thank you.
I can’t add a vent in my condo and the only place to put this is my kitchen. Perfect use case for this machine. If this wasn’t an option, I’d be hauling my laundry to a shared laundry space.
The explanation about ventless could use some work. The heat pump has a condenser coil, just like your A/C unit. The moisture in the unit condenses out and goes into the drain.
@@MattWallaceTech But that filters the water to keep objects out of the recirculation pump. I'm referring to the condenser coils and fins and perhaps some inner duct and blower motor that can have lint buildup. Can you get inside the unit to clean those parts?
Does anyone know how to just do a spin cycle. With my old washer I would always spin my comforter before I dry, and I would like to do the same with this
I do not see why it would not work. The water hose could be any length. The drain hose could be an issue. I doubt if you want the unit sitting very close to the sink. Good luck figuring that out.
Its an amazing machine, but it takes forever to dry clothes. I have to manually set the drying time to about three hours (that's drying time alone) to have them complete dry.
That’s not right… something is wrong. 1. Make sure you do the software upgrade. 2. The only time mine took 2 hours to dry & still didn’t dry was when I attempted a load with a set of queen sized sheets & heavy cloth blanket. & without the ‘bulk’ setting.
I have had my GE Wash Dry Combo for 6 weeks now and GE doesn’t have a repair tech to “fix” my machine. The first Tech (works for sears AE repair) and he said there are 5 error codes BUT they don’t have the schematics to “fix” or order parts! My machine squeaks when the drum rotates. It sounds like I have bolts in the drum. I LOVE the convenience of this machine, but I can’t deal with the noise! It’s LOUD! It trips my GFCI (not the breaker but the outlet) and then the noise… UGGH. I wish I knew an appliance guy near me that could fix this! GE is HORRIBLE for customer service too!!!! Oh and yes I have the pedestal but GE will only replace the money spent on the machine itself not the pedestal. 😔
I think they draw 11 amps max depending on the cycle, per machine so you are exceeding the load of a modern 20 amp circuit.guess you could get a shirt heavy duty extension cord or install another circuit in your laundry.
the unit itself and the riser have feet. You should be able to see the front feet of the unit if you look from the side. It's hard to see the back feet touching the riser. My machine is still shaking. I bought vibration pads to go under each foot and it did not improve. The installers say it is my floor.
If you toss a Tide pod into the machine, and you have already loaded liquid detergent into the detergent reservoir, how does the machine know not to dump liquid detergent into the wash cycle?
The machine senses if there is detergent in the reservoir and a light on the machine comes on, noting that. If you choose not to have it automatically added, you just turn that function off. You can do the same with the fabric softener if you choose to add it manually even if you have some on the reservoir. You can use the app to choose if you want the machine to add more or less than the default as well.
I installed one a month ago. Overall extremely pleased. It is different. The drying mechanism leaves the clothes feeling slightly damp when first removed… but then dry once you shake & fold. (This is literally in the directions). I once tried load with queen sized sheets & bulky cloth blanket… without setting ‘bulk’. 3 hours later blanket still wet. But, I’d never try to dry this blankets & sheets together either because it would take forever with my old 2 machine setup. Id wash them together & then dry separately. So why do I expect the GE to perform miracles. Now, I was them both with a pause after wash to remove sheets & just dry the blanket. After it finishes, dry the sheets using just the dry cycle.
I have limited space in my house, so my Frigidaire stackable washer and dryer are in my kitchen. I think I've found their replacement once either of them dies.
As a home Depot appliance associate home Depot doesn't give military discount on lumber and appliances...but the next holiday labor day , or blk❤ Friday
I got my GE Profile at the beginning of the week. $1998 from Home Depot and I love it. Been doing a little laundry every day to try different types of loads. Our old units were front loading 10 year old Samsung washer and dryer. We use a lot less power to wash and it does a better job of cleaning our clothes.
GE claims you can dry clothes you'd normally hang dry in it, have you given it a try by any chance?
Same! I dumped 6 year old Samsungs that I had stacked. Got mine two weeks ago and am loving it!
@@hypersonichobo4263 I have, and their claims are correct. Since it's using a heat pump instead of a resistive element, the air is super-dry, and only gently warm. It doesn't get hot enough to shrink or damage fragile items. Also, if you wished, the machine will dry with zero heat, but that takes a lot of time. I've dried a wool pair of slacks and had no felting or pilling.
@@migbham1 man I'm kinda scared to try that not gonna lie. I'll see if I can find something old lol to prove it. Kinda like when they say an inductive stove is cool and you can touch it. How wrinkly are your nicer clothes when they come out?
@@hypersonichobo4263 Funny you'd mention the induction stove. 😊 I replaced my glass halogen range like a decade ago with an induction one, and I really can't imagine cooking on anything else. Instant heat, and instant cool when you lower the heat, and they really do remain cool enough to touch. When I fry bacon, I lay paper towels down between the glass top and the iron skillet.
I've so far not pulled anything out of the unit that is wrinkled. They've all come out nice and fluffy and warm. The bonus is that because it uses very gentle heat, I get zero static cling.
I'm not sure what your definition of nice clothes is, but for things like dress shirts, I normally take those to the cleaners so that they get pressed. I laundered a load of polo shirts shirts on Friday, and they came our with no wrinkles. My bedsheets are 1000 thread count supima cotton, and likewise, no wrinkles assuming I pull them out when they're done and don't let them sit.
Its a really great concept. I bought one in September 2023 and it is amazing to start a load and wake up to dry clothes. I also love the energy saving aspects to reduce costs. Unfortunately 3 months after getting mine, it stopped heating and I am now entering my 4th month of it not working after 4 visits from techs that aren't familiar with the machine (and we live near Atlanta so you wouldn't think that would be an issue), waiting for weeks on backordered parts, and now they are saying I need to have the entire heat exchanger replaced. My wife is frustrated beyond belief and I wish I had never purchased this unit. All I get is the runaround and no resolution from anyone. This morning she indicated that it isn't even draining all the water and there isn't a way to run just a spin cycle like you can with other units to try and get it to re-spin the clothes dry so we can then move them into our old dryer to dry them like we have been doing for the past 4 months. I regrettably recommend you avoid this model.
Nice review...love mine...brought my laundry room to the main floor and no changing out electric outlets and no venting...A dream come true!
Glad you like it.
I agree with making sure to order your pedestal with the machine so the delivery people will install it for you. They will not do it unless they come together and they deliver both. Just make sure to watch them as both the pedestal and the machine will need to have the leveling feet/legs attached. Ours was installed without the feet on the bottom of the machine, and only on the pedestal. This caused the machine to shake violently. We had to have another set mailed out to us and then GE service came out and installed them. Just helping out others that may be purchading the pedestal. Other than that little mishap, I love my machine and it was worth every penny I spent on it.
This is happening to me. The delivery people took the feet off of the unit and I actually have them. What should I do?
Are you saying the pedestal comes with leveling feet. Mine did but how can I tell if the machine itself has leveling feet on or if they took the ones off the machine and put them on the pedestal
Got mine yesterday 7-22-23 washed 2 loads and yes the clothes feel damp but all you do is shake them, happy I saw a couple of videos covering that or I would've thought they were still wet lol.
This thing is awesome no need to add detergent or softener manually everytime it does by itself just put the dirty clothes in and they come out dry and smelling nice it's great.
GG GE 😁👍
@traybern Honestly, it isn't. When I used to go to the laundromat, I used to use a lot more than the machine does by itself.
@traybern literally what!?
@traybern Laundry mat, not my machine, don't know how much water it's using, so I just fill the cap, throw it in. Yes, potentially wasted. Oh, well, water under the bridge. Ancient history now lol.
My husband just got me this weekend. I have used it once and I am in loved! Badcock is closing all stores and we were able to get a NEW one for 1300.00! ❤
Hi, Matt. Great video. I have had mine for a few months now and I am not particularly happy with it. First, I absolutely HATE the lint screen and opening. There is just so very much lint not only on the screen itself but also the inside of the machine. I do my best, but I have yet to be able to clear all the stray lint out of the opening. The foam becomes so coated in dust and it is almost impossible to really clean. In watching your video, your detergent trays are nice and dry. Mine have NEVER been dry since I started using the machine. All of the slots on the detergent side are always filled with water and NEVER drain. The only time everything is dry is when I physically dry the inside myself. The rubber ring always has lint, hairs, etc., and everything is basically baked on. I can only remove it if I use a lot of water. I also have an issue with lighter items getting stuck behind the fins and remaining absolutely wet, not damp. I then have to run a separate dry only cycle once I take everything else out in order to dry the items that were left wet. I have spoken to customer service. They did sent out someone to look at the lint screen and determined everything was fine. They had no explanation for why the water will not drain from the detergent and said, "Well, just keep drying manually." The outside filter is so extremely low to the ground that water gets everywhere each time I have had to clean it. The only thing that I really like about this machine is being able to control cycles from the app and the notifications. I have yet to decide if I want to keep it or sell it and just go back to separate stackable units.
Just bought 1 today homedepot was kind enough to honor the $1998 sale from around july4th so got a good deal. Sold my other units LG which were great but had to try this new product. I hope we love it so for when it goes on sale again at under $2k we shall buy another.
FINALLY a video that does not have cheesy music but just explaining the product thank you very much! I just use my GE profile combo yesterday for the first time and you're right you don't really need to use dryer sheets unless you want your clothes to smell flowery because of the fact that there's not all this convection heat like use with a regular dryer you're not going to get that static. I did have a bit of trouble trying to hook up the app to the machine because it was asking for the serial number and the model number and I don't know where the serial number is I have to look again I guess. Some people complain because it's closed can be slightly damp but once you take them out and shake them out they're fine. I mean this is an incredibly energy-efficient machine.
We had to get one of these because our current dryer was blowing lint through a vent straight into the crawl space. California home insurance wouldn’t cover us unless we fixed this. It was going to cost 5k to redo the vents in the house so it actually was cheaper to just get this. So far no issues except that you need to put it on extra dry and wrinkle control for sheets. I like the feature of not having to move the clothes. I am a little worried about what happens if it breaks so looks like we will have to maintain it well
the 5 hour crowd is definitely the old crew of all in ones that used one 20 years ago - this is a completely new approach
You ain’t kidding. Everytime I ask if it’s this exact machine they use they finally fess up and say no.
LOL.. I haven't used one of these myself...my recollection of a dryer from hell was one of those 1990s Kenmore stackable .. only the dryer was 110V and that thing took forEVER to dry a load of clothes. I think also possibly the vent might have been somewhat obstructed. I rented so I never messed with it... I only lived there 6 months but I hated that dryer with a red hot fiery passion
Mine came today. Whilst I was was awaiting delivery I was watching your video. Now I am reading the manual. The 4th safety bullet point says Do Not use fabric softner or products to eliminate static cling unless reccmmended by the manufacturer of the fabric softerner product. So I guess it a good thing you have not done so.
Great video.
Is there a way to do a spin only on this machine? If so, can you tell me how, please? Thank you.
Impatiently waiting for it's arrival in Canada.... Great Q&A!!!
Regarding question number 3, one significant factor contributing to prolonged drying times in certain cases is the presence of lint. Allow me to elaborate:
1. Firstly, if your garments accumulate a substantial amount of lint, it's essential to meticulously clean the lint filter.
2. Secondly, should lint manage to bypass the lint filter, it can start obstructing the condenser. It's worth noting that the dryer in this unit functions akin to a dehumidifier. Consequently, when lint obstructs the condenser's airflow, it adversely impacts the drying process.
3. G.E. offers a specialized wire brush designed specifically for removing lint from areas where it shouldn't accumulate.
Apart from this consideration, I have a profound appreciation for my G.E. Profile dryer.
I love ours so much! Been waiting forever for my washer and dryer to die and when it finally did, my husband got it. It's nice to just leave a laundry and run errands and not worry.
And it takes off our dog hair! It's so nice!
Can you cover cleaning the heat sink behind the lint filter? Thank you for the videos, I love my profile so far!
I'm cleaning mine, when needed, by using a long duster or my Dyson with a long flexible extension. I suspect we're going to find that the heat exchanger maintenance will be a bit more frequent than one would've hoped and that a future model is going to have a better design on the filter.
Thank you so much for clarifying the Canadian version!
Can't wait to get one here soon.
I think im going to a road trip soon to US and get one hauled back to Canada. 🙂
Thanks for the update and video.
We received our GE WASHER ON DECEMBER 2nd. The other day, the dryer just stopped working. The dryer keeps going for hours but doesn’t dry now. I don’t know why. We watched your video and we are going to try your suggestions.
I sell appliances and the units that took 5 hours to wash and dry were the old LG combo units and some other Generic brands.. Thats why this GE is so nice..
Hi 👋 I finally received my Beautiful G.E TODAY, HAPPY! DID U PURCHASE THE PEDSTAL ? THANK U FOR GREAT VIDEO!)
This thing is amazing! Do you need to leave the door cracked up a little to prevent the mold smell? I remember this being the general advice for Front Load Washers in the past, but is that still the case?
I’ve heard you don’t have to but I do just out of habit
Is it possible to pull out the detergent dispenser for cleaning?. Also would be great to see you clean the bottom filter and see how that works. Thanks for doing these videos!
Yes, the dispenser and softener trays come all the way out. I am really short, so i take them out and fill them on the counter.
I was disappointed that despite discussing the bottom filter, removing it was not shown.
I washed two loads before it quit. I had a power failure and now the GE Profile no longer responds to anything. The power light just flashes. Service is coming out Wednesday. I'll ask them, but I'll put forth the question first here. Should there be a surge protector installed between the socket and the washer?
Any updates on the GE Profile? Did they fix it?
@@E4S65 Oh, yes. of course, It did take a long time to get the parts and get it done, but there was no charge.
you could also select wash only/no dry, then go take out items you don't want to dry, before starting a dry only cycle if you are concerned about missing the 'wash complete' notification
I have one too. I love it but it is SO loud and shakes my house. It is level and I have the pads under the feet. Its on the 1st floor of my house so I think that is the reason and not a concrete basement floor. Other then that I do really love it!!! Does everything he says. Also if you use your military discount it is not valid on appliances however if you buy it online it will allow the discount to go thru :)
Just an FYI. Home Depot doesn’t do military discount on special order merchandise. This product will have to be delivered from the manufacturer when you place the order. Yes, there’s always an exception to the rule. They might have it on hand.
I used mine last week on it in addition to the labor day savings, 22% off with a free base
We just bought this machine and I'm not sure if it is normal operation but if we want to de-wrinkle some clothes, and put them in there selecting only the dry cycle, it sprays them with water for a few seconds before it starts to dry. Is that normal? If so is there a way to stop that?
These are really nice machines. From what I've heard the full wash/dry cycle takes anywhere from a little over an hour to 2 hours. Definitely not 5 hours!
I discovered that a residue had built up on the mesh side of the filter, thus causing a limitation in air flow and resulting damp laundry. It took longer and longer for each load to finish, and hardly any lint was being produced. Once I washed the filter, the next load was dry and a massive amount of lint being held back spread onto the filter. I blame either Downey softener or Oxiiclean powder for that residue. Also it is important to wash fine lint off of the foam filter. I do that about weekly.
Matthew, you don't fully understand how this washer/dryer works. Yes, it uses a heat pump. A heat pump moves heat, it does not create it. The electricity drives the drum rotation and the heat pump, which moves fluid between an evaporator and a condenser. The condenser, which is cold, causes moisture passing over it to condense out, drying the air that is then blown back through the drum during the drying cycle. That moisture (condensate) is then routed out the drain pipe. The same drain pipe where water squeezed out during the spin cycle exits the machine. I suspect it is accumulated in a sump and pumped out using the same pump that empties the spin cycle water.
BTW. This is not new technology. We owned an AEG Lavalux washer drier combo back in Britain in the 1970s. It did not use a heat pump, but was a top-loaded washer and dryer. It probably only held half what this new GE machine does and was a little noisier, but it was on wheels and could be wheeled into a cupboard when not in use.
Does the top of your unit feel ‘warm’ near the area where the heat pump is? I ask because mine doesn’t feel any type of warm. Do the clothes feel warm when they are done?
We just got the machine and I’ve tried six different times and so far unsuccessful. Last night we did fix the drain hose which was indeed way too far in. So the stuff was coming out dripping.
Today with the hose fixed the clothes are not sopping wet, but they are WET.
I tried towels
I tried some t shirts
Tried scrubs
Small loads, medium loads
My boyfriend is about to kill me 😂 I begged for this damn thing. And he’s convinced it’s a piece of garbage lol
Two questions I haven't been able to find answers to that I'm hoping you can address: Can you install the app on two phones and create different custom settings from each? With the much cooler drying cycle, I'm assuming it is much gentler on clothes and thus some things that one might have taken out to hang dry no longer need to be removed. Is that your experience?
I noticed that you have a rubber, hot and cold water hose for your washer. Technically, it’s recommended to use a stainless steel hose for the washer. Thank you for your information. I appreciate it very much, I just got my GE combo washer on August 5TH, and I love it
Just got my GE Profile Combo today and I was surprised at how much pet hair it removed from my cloths and that they didn't come out full of static. However, I feel like I'm in the best-case scenario for drying when I pull the cloths out at about 40% humidity. I can imagine someone that lives in a much more humid environment of 80% and above complaining about the cloths not drying when they are pulled out.
I got mine last Friday. I love it! I have two Ragdoll cats so we have pet hair… it really does a good job of getting rid of the hair.
I’ve had my combo for a week now. I live in the deep south and it’s very hot and humid here! I haven’t had my clothes come out damp at all. I’m very impressed with this machine!
Wouldn't someone living in an air-conditioned home not have issues regardless of in a humid climate?
@@jjw73078I still had water droplets left on the microban blue seal after the dryer was done. Did you experience this?
I purchased my unit from my local Lowes store. I had a major issue with their delivery services but that a story for another day. I’m concerned because even though my unit is level and sits on a concrete slab, it is super loud. It makes a high pitched humming sound while it’s spinning out a load. It also makes a knocking sound while drying but it’s not coming from the drum but in the top of the machine.
Great video, can you use power detergent? Thank you
At 8:18 he mentions you can use powder!
I've had this model for about a month. I too was interested in the electricity usage. Using a Kasa smart plug with energy monitor it recorded 1.35kWh for a very full (with towels) load on extra heavy soil that took about 2.5 hours. That is amazingly little electricity. However, the Kasa shows that it continues to use electricity while off. Not a huge amount, but it could use more in the many standby hours than washing if you don't wash a lot. I have other appliances (Samsung dishwasher & fridge, Rheem heat pump water heater) that have very good energy monitoring features in their apps. GE (Hair) missed a great feature, and that' my biggest complaint. I have massive solar, so the cost is not selling to the utility. They pay me about $0.03224/kWh so less than 5 cents out of my pocket to wash a dry that load. Mine is on a 13in universal pedestal with a drawer. Being rated for 600lbs, it has no problem. I did lift it myself with a 1A ladder and some ratchet straps.This GE is actually about 15lbs lighter than my old Samsung FlexWash.
We just received our unit today. Do you notice that your unit becomes very hot on top and has a "hot" smell during the drying cycle.
Hi, Matthew Wallace. Question for you... Have you had an opportunity yet to peek inside of the slot where the lint filter goes when the filter is out? I've had my unit for 3 weeks now, and am fastidious about keeping the filter cleaned. I am seeing, however, that quite a bit of lint is either making it's way around the filter to the evaporator core fins, or lint is getting knocked loose from the filter during removal and then getting sucked into the fins.
Are you seeing any of the same? This has caught my eye after just a few weeks of use to the degree that I've already taken my vacuum cleaner with a long flexible hose and sucked lint off of the fins. I don't see an obvious way to open the top of this unit to really clean those, when needed, but the design causes me to predict that these are going to clog and reduce airflow over not too much time.
Have you looked at yours, and if so, wondering whether you have any observations or thoughts? I needed a flashlight to see the fins well.
P
can I make a suggestion: Get a small BAGGED vacuum cleaner and leave it in the laundry room and use the vacuum to clean up the lint (hopefully it isn't wet lint) Laundry creates a lot of dust and I can't live without a vacuum in my laundry room... It takes forever to fill a bag and the bag never smells because the only thing it in is clean lint
Do you know if anyone on this channel has posted having two of these units and using them in a parallel fashion? I understand both will need H/C water supply and both would need to drain. Can both be used out of one 120V outlet (both plugged into the one wall outlet). Thank you for your review!
I haven’t seen anyone use two yet but I’m curious.
I think they draw 11 amps max depending on the cycle, per machine so you are exceeding the load of a modern 20 amp circuit.guess you could get a shirt heavy duty extension cord or install another circuit in your laundry.
if you have a 240v outlet available GE sells a splitter for 2 120 plugs so you can run in tandem. if you don’t have an existing 240v you would need 2 110v dedicated circuits. GE has a few views for setting up tandem One and Done units
We leveled the thing. Put the first load in and it rocked and banged around on the first spin before it started washing. It was a normal load. I have a drain matt under it. Should i take it out?
are you seeing lint in your door seal? We just got ours today and we have quite a bit of lint sticking to it and see lint. My wife does not want to be wiping the seals down every load thinking of returning them.
Just got this and it is extremely heavy and the clothes don't seem to dry all the way.. About as heavy as a large refrigerator. Clothes come out a little damp.I would return it but I need the drye r220 power for an rv hookup as my breakerbox is full. 6/10 Better options if you don't need the power or space saving. Paid 2400 at lowes.
I got mine last week... When it's filling up it keeps making a clunk noise... Is that normal?
Mine is doing the same thing and I have had it 6 weeks now. GE Customer Service is 💩
I asked GE Canada when it will be available in Canada and they said later this year... Dying to have one available in Canada
Waiting for it too
Me and my wife used this yesterday for the first time and it’s really loud!!! Now I don’t know if it’s just mine or what but it shakes really bad also! Help!?
The biggest complaint I read with those that purchased this model was the clothes being a little damp after the drying cycle. Do you find any dampness when your wash is completed.
Check out my initial video where I go into detail about this. It’s true but only for a second.
My combo still has water droplets left on the blue seal after the dryer is done. So basically I’m pulling out dry clothes over the wetness of the blue seal.
I bought two units from Nebraska Furniture Mart for $3500 for their 4th of July sale plus a discount code and have been using them for a couple weeks now. My entire family loves them. If you’re in the market and can afford the price tag, it’s an awesome machine!
I did however buy the pedestals direct from GE and put them on myself with a little help from my wife. Just put some old blankets down and carefully tip the machine on its back, a few brackets and screws and boom. It really wasn’t too difficult, just remember to lift with your legs
Curious with two units, are you able to access them in the GE app with one account, i.e. does it support natively >1 unit?
It seems that the pedestals don’t lift them up high enough. I’m considering buying two stand and building custom bases for them at the height that we would like.
Can you please post a video of the the machine first running? I got one of these and when it first starts and it’s doing the learning or measuring of the load and it’s spinning up it makes a high pitch sound like a jet engine. Just wondering if that sound is normal. I don’t hear that sound outside of this part of the cycle. Would highly appreciate it!
My plan eventually is to post a full cycle whether it be a video or a RUclips live or something.
Ya mines does this too. Seems normal and is part of the load sensing routine.
It's normal. It turn the tub light on and you'll see what it's doing. It does a very brief high speed spin in order to sense the weight of the load dry.
GE also makes jet engines. Perhaps an engineer transferred to the washer division and brought along a bit of their experience onto this model. 🙂
My question which was not asked is, is this washer /dryer like all other front loaders where you must keep the door open to keep the seal dry and does the fabric softener leave a musty smell? With it being a dryer I wonder if those issues are alleviated?
I got mine yesterday and my
Clothes were wet. We kept drying all day and still wet.
Unfortunately I bought a new washing machine 6 months ago otherwise I would be in the market for this.
Sameeeee 😭
Excellent review. Come to HD in Covina...I'll be your associate and give the best support you need.
Does it have a heating element to super heat the water for sanitation cycles? Notice it has “sanitize with oxi” which implies that it cannot bring the water up to a higher temp to kill bacteria without a bleaching or oxidation agent.
No. Most people did not want a super hot sterilization cycle and would rather put a separate substance in there.
Matthew, can the door be reversed to open the opposite side? Also, is it supposed to make banging around and sound like a jet taking off!! I only got it yesterday and have had to call the repair people already. It’s really hard to tell if it is off balance since it weighs almost 300lbs, it feels like it is sitting flat.
the door can not be reversed, it is molded for a specific air flow.
Hi. We got one of these and love it. Wondering one thing. Seems a likely squeaky and noisy when running. Is that typical?
I would check. It doesn’t sound normal.
App also integrates with Alexa and can send notifications to your alexa devices as well.
I live in a rental 2nd floor apt. Do you think it's appropriate for it? Can I use regular US outlet to plug it in? Is it super heavy bc I live on second floor? Thanks
The machine uses a regular US outlet and I was told by the installer that it weighs 320 pounds
FYI, Home Depot does not give the Veteran discount for this washer. I know because I went to order it and the vet discount won't apply. I ordered thru Costco on 11-23-23 and paid $1850 plus $129 tax. That includes delivery, setup and haul-away of my old washer and dryer, which I'll store in the garage to make sure my wife is happy with this GE. FYI, I LOVE that this runs on 120V only. Also, it does not require a vent, so no vent cleanouts anymore. And the 120V makes it possible to run from my EcoFlow Delta Pro battery generators. That's great for a grid down situation, which we've experienced after hurricanes. (no fun being without power for 10 days. And my generator burns thru gas.)
Turns out it’s store dependent for Home Depot which I disagree with and whether the manager is in a good mood.
@traybern LOL, that's a bit of an overreaction. I chose to simply buy it elsewhere. But I'll keep that advice in mind if they give me a hassle in the future!
Big question: what are you going to do with all that extra space?
When you said 2 dogs and showed the pic of them I thought it looked like 4 dogs, lol bet the hair seems like it is 4 sometimes! I’ve downsized to one small dog and the amount of fur still surprises me since she doesn’t seem to shed.
Mine doesn’t come until next week so I’m having fun watching these videos. I was dismayed to read you shouldn’t use vinegar as it will degrade some parts, then I read that that is true with most modern washers. Also in the Q&A on GE’s site someone asked about Lysol wash sanitizer and they said they haven’t tested it yet, so I guess I’ll give away my big bottle.
RedErin, I have to agree about using vinegar. My wife has been using vinegar. I looked in the washer and saw paint bubbled where the water is dispensed into the tub. I reached around back and the metal just crumbled away. LOL, I used this as a justification to buy the GE washer/dryer combo. And no more using of vinegar.
I’ve been looking for this on Lowes and don’t find it. Lowes is the only store that delivers to my rural location.
I work at home Depot we have it!! I have sold quite few 😊
10:22 PM Tue Apr 16
cani add sanitizer liquid to the rinse and dry cycle on ge profile all in one heatpump washer dryer combo?
I,ran a wash dry but forgot the sanitizer…can I add the (Lysol sanitizer liquid product) to the rinse and dry cycle?
I saw your drain hose and the white box, fo i jave to puurchase that box or where can i drain it.
What pods are y'all using it is harsh on my colors .. other than that it's amazing
I wouldn’t recommend pods. Use regular detergent so you can take advantage of the auto dispensing system
@@MattWallaceTech so I shouldn't concern myself with the dispensary clogging over time?
@@johndeer5524 had mine for a year with no issues.
@@MattWallaceTech thanks brother ... Think I'll just do it and ask for forgiveness from the wife later 😂....
I am confused with what you say about dryness. If it is dump dry due to the closed system then an additional 15 min won't help.
It's a heat pump, so it would allow 15 more minutes of the hot damp clothes air to run across the cool fins of the heat pump and condensate there.
can you select specific cycles? like a rinse and spin, no wash no dry? we swim alot during summer, i want to rinse spin and hang dry
@@mynights85 you sure can. There’s a bunch of different settings
Is there a trick to moving this? Ours is on tile, and we can't get to the back of it, and we need to move it out to get to something behind it. The store delivery men sprayed the tile with something to make it slide better but not sure what it was or if it was the best idea. Suggestions?
Try windex. This thing weighs over 300 lbs
Every time I finish drying my clothes comes out wrinkly, I’ve tried wrinkle care and the wrinkle remover setting but nothing really works. Does anyone have any suggestions, thank you.
I can’t add a vent in my condo and the only place to put this is my kitchen. Perfect use case for this machine. If this wasn’t an option, I’d be hauling my laundry to a shared laundry space.
Hello what happens if your clothes are not completely dry can you set it to dry more without the washing part?
Yes you can.
Where is it made? This should be Question #1.
The explanation about ventless could use some work. The heat pump has a condenser coil, just like your A/C unit. The moisture in the unit condenses out and goes into the drain.
Thank you for this informative video.
You’re welcome
I like using different detergents depending on what it is I am washing can I use this dispenser per load in stead of the gobs of detergent dispenser?
Yeah you can disable the auto detergent and just add manually
Great that is has a lint filter, but all types of dryers clog with lint over time. The big question is how do you clean it when it gets clogged?
You can just wash out the lower filter at the bottom.
@@MattWallaceTech But that filters the water to keep objects out of the recirculation pump. I'm referring to the condenser coils and fins and perhaps some inner duct and blower motor that can have lint buildup. Can you get inside the unit to clean those parts?
Does anyone know how to just do a spin cycle. With my old washer I would always spin my comforter before I dry, and I would like to do the same with this
lots of steam comes out from conventional dryers where does it go on this type of machine?
Can this be used in conjunction with an O3/ozone water generator? Will the ozone damage the appliance? Thanks.
Hmmm I honestly don’t know.
Do you need a smart phone to use this dryer I don't have one
Hi we cannot connect to the app keeps asking for ge_module and password. Which we can not find. Can you help us?
Outstanding Review
I live in an apartment with no hookups can this be hooked up ti my kitchen sink?
I do not see why it would not work. The water hose could be any length. The drain hose could be an issue. I doubt if you want the unit sitting very close to the sink. Good luck figuring that out.
Its an amazing machine, but it takes forever to dry clothes. I have to manually set the drying time to about three hours (that's drying time alone) to have them complete dry.
That’s not right… something is wrong.
1. Make sure you do the software upgrade.
2. The only time mine took 2 hours to dry & still didn’t dry was when I attempted a load with a set of queen sized sheets & heavy cloth blanket. & without the ‘bulk’ setting.
Looks like your room has room for another one. Everyone needs friend. lol
Is there a low heat setting on the dryer?
Yep sure is.
I'm having trouble with my laundry detergent and softener when I push it it says off I cannot get it to go on what is the trip please help me? 😭
Does the GE app work on apple iphone.
Sure does
I have had my GE Wash Dry Combo for 6 weeks now and GE doesn’t have a repair tech to “fix” my machine. The first Tech (works for sears AE repair) and he said there are 5 error codes BUT they don’t have the schematics to “fix” or order parts! My machine squeaks when the drum rotates. It sounds like I have bolts in the drum. I LOVE the convenience of this machine, but I can’t deal with the noise! It’s LOUD! It trips my GFCI (not the breaker but the outlet) and then the noise… UGGH. I wish I knew an appliance guy near me that could fix this! GE is HORRIBLE for customer service too!!!! Oh and yes I have the pedestal but GE will only replace the money spent on the machine itself not the pedestal. 😔
Ultimate laundry flex: get 2 if you have a lot of laundry. Two full loads in 2.5 hours is incredibly fast.
That would be quite the flex
I think they draw 11 amps max depending on the cycle, per machine so you are exceeding the load of a modern 20 amp circuit.guess you could get a shirt heavy duty extension cord or install another circuit in your laundry.
the unit itself and the riser have feet. You should be able to see the front feet of the unit if you look from the side. It's hard to see the back feet touching the riser. My machine is still shaking. I bought vibration pads to go under each foot and it did not improve. The installers say it is my floor.
If you toss a Tide pod into the machine, and you have already loaded liquid detergent into the detergent reservoir, how does the machine know not to dump liquid detergent into the wash cycle?
The machine senses if there is detergent in the reservoir and a light on the machine comes on, noting that. If you choose not to have it automatically added, you just turn that function off. You can do the same with the fabric softener if you choose to add it manually even if you have some on the reservoir. You can use the app to choose if you want the machine to add more or less than the default as well.
I installed one a month ago.
Overall extremely pleased.
It is different.
The drying mechanism leaves the clothes feeling slightly damp when first removed… but then dry once you shake & fold. (This is literally in the directions).
I once tried load with queen sized sheets & bulky cloth blanket… without setting ‘bulk’.
3 hours later blanket still wet.
But, I’d never try to dry this blankets & sheets together either because it would take forever with my old 2 machine setup. Id wash them together & then dry separately. So why do I expect the GE to perform miracles.
Now, I was them both with a pause after wash to remove sheets & just dry the blanket. After it finishes, dry the sheets using just the dry cycle.
where is power cord located on back of combo unit?
Can you go into detail to work the sanitize OXY cycle.
How do you drain the water out,???
I have limited space in my house, so my Frigidaire stackable washer and dryer are in my kitchen. I think I've found their replacement once either of them dies.
Can you use pods in this machine?
As a home Depot appliance associate home Depot doesn't give military discount on lumber and appliances...but the next holiday labor day , or blk❤ Friday
The store I went to gave me one.
Looking forward to Canadian release
