Well, I personally haven't had the opportunity to try one of these machines, but I've heard a lot of ups and downs about them. Some people love them, others don't. I thought GE still made a washer with a regular agitator. It would still have the same washing action as the infusor does, but it will use a full tub of water. I checked out the GE site recently and they had agitator washers on them. And I think they give the choice of selecting your load size or the option to let the machine do it automatically, don't quote me on that but I seem to remember seeing that. If you can, or even want to, see if they will take the machine back since it's only a couple of months old, and look to see if they have an agitator style washer instead. Just tell them you aren't happy with it, they should have no problem taking it back for a trade or refund. Or just return it altogether and find a good old Maytag set. They are still out there and parts, although getting scarce, do show up around the net. Many people on here know where to go to find good new or reconditioned parts if needed. Until then, check all of the cycles on your machine. I know a few brands have a sheets setting that will use more water to wash than the other cycles. I hope this helps and let us know what happens :)

GE Front Load Washer with torn Door Boots Cody there was something very wrong with that washer, you should have complained to where it was purchased and directly to GE if that didn't get results. It is up them to prove that something you did caused the machine to tear door boots and or something was wrong with your floor that caused the machine to walk. | ||

GE Top Loading Washer Quailty GE has not made or sold a durable TL washer since they stopped making the FF style machine. Right from the start the new plastic machines had almost 100% transmission failure rate within the first 5 years. Their current machines continue to have transmission, main seal and bearing failures and these failures are almost always the end of the washers useful life as it is too difficult and expensive to repair this washer design unlike the old FF washer where you could replace the entire transmission and main bearing and water seal in less than 30 minutes.
In defense of the new GE designs they do perform very well, but they are just not durable in heavy use situations and cost prohibitive to repair, you will almost never see these newer style machines in a laundromat, in fact GE lost almost all of their commercial laundry business overnight when they switched designs. | ||
