        Do you add oxi to the washer for odor block?
        BySep 26, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Oxi can be added to the dispenser when running the Sanitize with Oxi cycle. This cycle, when using an Oxi additive along with your detergent, is designed to remove 99% of bacteria found in home laundry. Measure the detergent and the Oxi products carefully. Using the amounts appropriate for a large heavily soiled load in a front load washer, follow the detergent and the Oxi product label instructions. The washer hot water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120°F to ensure the effectiveness of this cycle. The UltraFresh Vent System with OdorBlock was designed to eliminate excess moisture in the washer following a wash cycle to help prevent odors from developing. This washer was designed to drain water at the end of the cycle more effectively. Following the wash cycle, the user can then choose to leave the door open or select the UltraFresh Vent feature to assist with drying out the gasket and other areas of the washer. The OdorBlock system features multiple components which are manufactured with Microban antimicrobial technology. Microban is a safe and effective antimicrobial technology that will last the life of your washer.

              Can you wash a king size comforter in this machine?
              BySep 4, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Model GFW550SSNWW features 4.8 cu. ft. of capacity. We expect that most comforters and blankets will wash properly, as long as the comforter fits behind the tub gasket and isn't stuffed in tightly. We recommend considering the thickness, density, and overall size of the item. If the model fit into a previous washer, we recommend a model with a similar cubic foot capacity.

                Disappointed and frustrated
                We purchased The washer a little more than three years ago and it's looking like we already have to replace it. Based on my research it seems like the main circuit board needs to be replaced . I have already replaced the door latch switch since we were getting a door lock error code and that didn't resolve it and so looks like the main board needs to be replaced. I did not purchase the extended warranty thinking that GE was a product that I could depend on.That's pretty disappointing for a little over three years old. I think GE should either repair it or replace it. Stand behind your product. Please.

                  Incredible washing machine. Great capacity. Washing is thorough, clean and efficient. Not complaints of any mechanicals. Easy to use and understand. Awesome match to the paired GE dryer. Great Home Depot price. I highly recommend this GE washing machine and paired dryer.

                  Disappointed
                  Spin cycle was weak from the beginning. Worked ok for maybe 2 years. Could never have a large load which kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought it. I purchased the extended 5 years warranty from the local retailer that i bought the machine from. Right after year 5, the display board went bad and the machine didn’t drain the water. Very frustrating experience with it. I have a video and a picture but I don’t see an option to upload.

                  We would like to assist you with this washer properly draining. We recommend resetting your washer by disconnecting power from the unit for 2 - 3 minutes and reconnecting power. If this reset does not revert the unit back to normal operating function and allow for proper draining, this will require service by a qualified technician. You can schedule an appointment with a Bodewell technician by calling 1-833-4BODEWELL or schedule online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm.
                    Actually the best washing machine !
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this washing machine! It's such a huge upgrade from our old one, even though they're the exact same size. The drum is so much bigger, so it fits way more laundry. I also love the app that connects to your phone and notifies you when your clothes are done or if you've left them sitting in the machine. My family and I tend to forget about laundry, so this feature is a lifesaver! The app even tracks water usage, and the machine reminds you to leave it properly ventilated to prevent funky smells. Our old washer had that problem, so this is a huge improvement. Overall, it's convenient, smart, and genuinely one of the best upgrades we've made. I've already recommended it to family members and would definitely recommend it to anyone else!

                      Unhappy experience with washing machine
                      this washing machine is 2.5 years old and here I am experiencing our 2nd breakdown. For the amount of money I paid, this machine should be washing, drying and folding every piece of clothing I put in there! it looks great - part of a matching set I happily purchased at a local appliance store. Performance though is a disappointment. I don't expect annual breakdowns for a what I consider normal usage (average about 4/5 loads a week).

                        STAY FAR AWAY
                        This is the worst washer I've ever bought. After just one year, the gasket developed a lot of mold and stains. I even dried it with a towel after every wash to prevent water from sitting there, but the mold still appeared. GE advertises an UltraFresh Vent feature on this unit, but it doesn't work; it's just fancy marketing to sell units. The washer smells terrible despite following the recommended care instructions. I contacted GE customer service, and they wanted to charge me $129 just for a technician to come out—and that's before labor and parts. In my opinion, this should be covered under the warranty because it appears to be a manufacturing or design issue. I would not recommend this washer, GE customer service, or GE washers in general. Save yourself the frustration and buy something else. STAY FAR AWAY

                        We'd like to help with the mold and odor in your washer. Clean the seal thoroughly with a clean rag, hot water, and soap. For stubborn spots, use an old toothbrush and white vinegar. Once cleaned, leave the washer door or lid open to allow it to dry completely.

                        Be sure to use only the recommended amount of detergent to prevent buildup. We also recommend cleaning the washer tub once a month to help prevent residue from detergent and fabric softener that can cause odors. Please review the articles titled “Front Load Washer - Odor in Tub” and "How do I remove mold from my washing machine?" on the GE Appliances website. GE_Appliances
                          Worked ok for 1 year
                          Loved this washer the 1st year. Then the odor started happening. I always leave the door cracked after each use, and if I don’t clean the washer the stench on my clothes is terrible. Now 1.5 years in the water won’t drain and the control board is broken. Dealing with the warranty has been a huge hassle as well. I’m really bummed- I got the set and love the blue color. I just hope my replacement I’m now getting doesn’t have the same problems. Get the extended warranty!

                            We'd like to assist with your washer's odor. It's extremely important to use the manufacturer's recommended amount of liquid HE detergent with each wash load. Additionally, you'll need to clean the tub once a month to keep the wash basket free from soap and fabric softener residue that can build up and cause an odor. You can find instructions on cleaning your washer's tub and additional troubleshooting here: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=22820. This model comes equipped with the UltraFresh Vent System with OdorBlock feature that eliminates excess moisture to help prevent odors, ensuring your washer stays fresh and clean. After the wash cycle is complete, and the cleaned laundry has been removed from the washer basket, you can then choose to leave the door open or select the UltraFresh Vent feature to assist with drying out the gasket and other areas of the washer.

                              Huge disappointment
                              I bought this washer because of the reviews that were posted at the time of purchase. I opted for a front loader because I thought it would wash the clothes better with less water and energy used. Instead, I got a machine that gets moldy easily and smells horrific. I am so disappointed and wished I would have got a top loader instead. UPDATE: GE, I saw your response and I do use the correct detergent (HE) and my washer door remains open at all times. The water pools in that blue microban seal and gunk remains in the holes all around it. I have resorted to keeping the detergent drawer open and wiping it after each wash. Again, not happy with this washer.

                              We'd like to assist with the odor coming from your washer. First, we recommend using a high-efficiency liquid detergent and the appropriate amount for each load. Using too much detergent can create excess suds that become trapped in the outer tub and cause odors over time. Also, using the Ultrafresh Vent between uses can help prevent odors. We also recommend using the self-clean cycle once a month to help remove soap and fabric softener residue that can build up and cause odors. For strong odors, you may need to run the cycle more than once. For more troubleshooting, please refer to the article in the link below: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=22820.
                                Great Performance, But One Major Design Flaw
                                I generally enjoy my GE front loader washing machine and haven't had any performance issues. However, I am giving it a low rating due to a major design flaw. Draining the water from the front spout every month is a messy, inconvenient nuisance. The design is completely user-UNfriendly. GE should add a small, detachable drain hose to this compartment so users can cleanly empty the water into a pan and easily clear out trapped lint or loose coins. This single flaw heavily impacts an otherwise good product.

                                We want to help with the water you are seeing around the door gasket. After use, there may be moisture around the door and inside the drum. To help prevent water from dripping onto the floor, we recommend using the UltraFresh Vent System built into your washer. Once you close the door, the unit will chime, and the UltraFresh Vent light will illuminate on the control panel. Press the UltraFresh Vent button on the control panel to activate the fan, which will help dry the interior of your washing machine. This is a great feature designed to help prevent mold and odors from developing inside your washer.
