They look like nice machines. I'd like to know if you can override the washers choice of water temperature. I read that the washer chooses amount of water and proper temperature too. Other than the sanitazing cycle being around at least 150(I guess), can you program hot water on any cycle? I am just courious. Seems like everytime new model pops, it is too "efficient". It is nice to have the 2nd rinse,mine has onle 1 extra. I love the champagne color too! Happy washing !!!!!!

Likely bad bearings.

I purchased the washer two weeks ago from Home Depot and unfortunately we have had problems just connecting the drainage hose. The hose is not long enough to reach the drain pipe. We had a plumber/friend come by and add an extension and he did a lousy job - flooded the basement! He then made a few adjustments and we thought it was all set, so I did my first load of whites last night - I was so excited to be using my new washer, well the hose let go and flooded the basement again. As for the washer itself, it was so quiet and my clothes did seem to be clean. I spent a lot of time researching washers and picked this one because I read many good reviews on the Home Depot and Lowes or Sears websites. So my only advice is to make sure the drainage hose is long enough to reach your drain pipe or sink. I also noticed that the drainge hose did not come with an end that is hooked to fit into the drainage pipe - I think if it had then it would have fit. We are calling an appliance repair man to come out (soon- I hope). Good luck.

I am considering repairing my FOUR year old GE(model#A13817EMC2430/s/nVL202455T/WHDVH626FWW/made in P.R. China.) profile stacked washer/dryer. My 4 YEAR OLD GE washer which was professionally installed constantly leaks in the front, especailly when washing towels. It also vibrates a lot, and is very noisy, the machine has literally walked. I continuously wipe the front gasket to try to alleviate this problem, however it persists. The washer is on the second floor, which I understand is a stability problem for many washers. I am trying to make a decision to repair or buy new. I tried to contact GE by phone and they were having technical issues and said to call back. I just tried to contact them by email, however the site would not accept an email unless you enabled cookies. I am Frustrated that it is difficult to contact GE to inquire about these issues. I have also researched some stability pads/vibration stands, one is a whole pad for the bottom of the machine, it retails for approx $299.00. I researched the new model Miele, however it is not sold in the states as of yet. I do not want to spend $$$ on a repair or after market products then experience the same problem months from now. The machines (washer and dryer) are located on the top floor and are difficult to move up the stairs, so I am willing to spend more on a machine that will last more than 4 years. If I have to spend what I spent on this GE machine every four years it will be considerably more $$$ than buying the more expensive brand that lasts. I am also concerned about the integrity of my floor since this GE machine leaks so much. I would like to make a decision soon. Any experience with the stability stand or pads?â¦Repair or Ditch the GE? $$$$?
