GE built a front-loader with genuinely clever features, auto-dosing that actually works, a vent system that fights mold better than most, then strapped them to electronics that fail like clockwork. Inverter boards die at two to three years and frequently take the main control board with them, turning a $160 part into a $450 repair once you pay labor. Some three or four board replacements in the first few years, and GE's ten-year motor warranty covers parts only, leaving you with the $250-300 technician bill every time. Skip this unless you're getting a steep discount and extended labor coverage, or you enjoy maintaining a relationship with your appliance repair guy.
This is a front-loader built around a parts failure schedule. The inverter board quits within two to three years so reliably that GE techs call it the cursed Blue Boot washer, the main control board often follows, and motors grind themselves to death around thirty months. GE covers the motor for ten years on parts only, which means you still write a check for $250 to $450 every time a tech shows up, and some owners have replaced the same board twice before the machine turns four. Skip this one entirely. LG's WM4000 series and the Electrolux EFLS617 cost about the same and stay running.
