Broken Washer
Upon installation of washer we noticed that it would fill with water, then stop at Rinse/Spin cycle. Got error message "No water H20" Not so. repairman had to order new computer parts which wont arrive until January 2024! I haven't even used it yet. Its BRAND NEW! Also purchased matching dryer, having problems right away upon installation. The dryer drum hits the sidewall and makes a banging noise Tried to get resolution, nobody cares. Laundry piling up and im out $2000. its all documented.

    Broken dryer
    Upon installing this dryer, the drum kept hitting the sidewall making a loud noise. Called GE repairman. Says he cant repair it, GE says no repair parts available AT ALL. Says call Home Depot. Home Depot says call GE. I spent $2000 on w/d and both are broken! I havent used either one. No parts available for matching washer until Jan 2024. What am I supposed to do now?

        great features
        love the dryer so far but it is starting to make a "squeaky sound" every so often. It is a great fit for the limited space we have for a washer dryer

          The vent hose that came with the new dryer was the rigid kind. It didn’t work well in my space. I had saved my old flexible vent hose and able to install it myself for better results.

          An Improved Product (hopefully)
          This dryer is a step up from the previous GE 4.3 CU. FT.. When delivered, it seemed there were too many choices for drying clothes, but each setting is unique. Most impressed how the dryer will tumble in the opposite direction for a short time to aid in drying. Our existing dryer required a major repair yearly after the warranty ended and after 7 years, was no longer supported by GE and replacement parts were a 6 week wait or, in the most recent repair, cost-prohibitive requiring the purchase of new units.

            Missing screen protection cover
            Was possibly a return?!?! The front glass window did not have the protective screen, that the washer came with, and was dirty. Would think it would have had one put on to help keep the new look before reshipping. The instructions mentioned a wrench to adjust the legs was included, but this was not included in either the dryer or washer.

              The dryer arrived damage, but we didnt catch it in time to report it to Home Depot within 48 hrs. It sat in the garage for a couple weeks due to a mudroom remodel. Upon opening the box, we found a crease along the side. After installing , the drum hits the sidewall and is very loud. I called GE service and they came out and documented it. There are NO parts to fix it. Home Depot tells me to call GE, and GE says to call Home Depot! The matching washer electronics are broken, too .Parts for the washer should arrive in January, I'm told. $2000 for a washer/dryer and BOTH are broken?? I havent even used them yet :( What do I do now?

                  Did not need to buy a European brand!
                  I thought I would have to buy European models for set of compact washer and dryer. I was not opposed to this but there was little to no service of these brands where I live. I was excited to find the compact GE front load set that fit our needs for energy and water conservation, size and cost.

                      Had a little problem trying to figure out what setting to use. Our clothes were coming out all wrinkled. We make some changes and they seem better and we also use wool balls to help.

                        My New GE Dryer Does Not Function.
                        We received the GE GFD14ESSNWW dryer on October 23 and installed it. It's a LEMON. It functions erratically. The light inside goes on and off. Three times it has completed a drying cycle, but usually it quits mid-process. It can be restarted but quickly pauses. Sometimes it flashes DOOR but still can be restarted. Presently (Nov. 13) I spend wash day afternoons at the local laundromat drying our clothes, waiting for a repair. It's a LEMON. Shouldn't GE send a replacement?

                          Not efficient
                          The dryer always takes more than one cycle to dry throuoghly. When it drys sheets, it rolls them up into a ball and I have to untangle them and reset at least once.

                                I feel this model takes an extremely long time to dry items. I only do small and medium loads in my washer and compared to my old GE dryer it takes twice as long to dry the same items.

                                  Worst dryer I've ever owned. I've tried four different machines of this model and the best one lasted two years. Machine stops running every few minutes, then stops altogether with "door" error. Apparently can't it be repaired. I'm done with it. Trying a different dryer make and model.

                                    Terrible!!!
                                    After 1 year this dryer burnt all the bearings on us…. Bearing in the back went bad. Ordered new parts and they took weeks and had to order them twice. Finally got it back together and drum wouldn’t spin even after a technician came out. Will never buy anything GE again as far as appliances go.

                                        Overall a good dryer.
                                        Does the job, except that it rolls sheets into a little ball, so they don't dry evenly.
