GE FRONT LOAD WASHER -JUNK
GE Front load Washer 6600 - Complaint
Review by vc7699 on 2012-09-10
Rating: 
GEORGIA -- I bought the GE Front Load Washer/Dryer 4 1/2 years ago model 6600HHW. The washer on its last spin cycle became very noisy, knocking and moving, and to my surprise, when I opened it my entire house was filled with smoke. This washer is a safety hazard, and needs to be recalled. I checked the reviews, and was disappointed to see the many persons with the same complaints. It cost over $800.00(parts and labor)to have this washer fixed. GE should be held responsible for their products, and some form of Class Action needs to be brought against GE. All my appliances are GE Monogram, and I also had hell with my GE Refridgerator. I am very disappointed, and I will take some form of action Against GE.

What are the first 4 characters before 6600? WBVH has a recall, WCVH seems to have many complaints but no recall.
What was the diagnosis of the failure that supports your claim that the washer is a safety hazard?

My washer is WCVH 6600 HHW.Because of the amount of smoke in my house, this surely is a fire hazard.

My WCVH6600 is only 5 years old. It did similar things- loud sounds coming from drum, smoke, burning smell. Diagnosis- the bearing needs to be replaced...at least a $600-700 service call to repair with factory parts. GE is offering a new washer at a discount, but the reviews of their products are poor. This washer was expected to last 10 years. With durability being so low, they aren't going to sell many new washers.
