GE Profile Ultrafresh Washer Top 5 Problems

As a service technician I encounter all kinds of different appliances on a daily basis including the GE Profile Ultrafresh. Every machine has its issues however these are the problems I believe occur most frequently. All problems were not listed in any particular order.

Doing laundry without a washing machine can be tough. Thankfully our channel has lots of videos to help you get your appliance back up and running. We will be uploading videos on multiple brands for LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, and Beko. We also cover topics on washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, ranges, and microwaves. Be sure to check us out.

Had mine for 14 months and now it won't drain. Fills & spins fine, but won't drain! I checked the filter and the blue hose and those are clear. My no name top loader that i had prior to this lasted 17 years!

Had ours for about 5 years and so far I’ve only had to replace the water inlet valves. About $50 and 30 mins of my time. So far not too bad.

GE Front Loaders are GREAT, love ours!

Had mine for 5 years. I use it for business use for massage therapy so its used a lot. Just had to change the water inlet valves which was easy. Only other issue I've had is the water tray not draining where the softener goes.

I've had this washer for almost 4 years, only thing I've replaced is the water inlet valve assembly twice. Other than that it's been pretty solid

I recently purchased the 5.3 GE Profile Smart Ultra-fresh Front load Washer. After pulling out the dispenser detergent tray after every wash at least 1/4 cup of water leaks into the tub. I need to open and close the dispenser tray at least 3 times before the water leak completely stops. Have you heard of or encountered this issue with this unit? I recently sent a video to GE Corporate and they claim this is not a known issue with this unit. I am being advised to call a GE technician for service under my warranty plan. I sure would appreciate any information you may have on this issue.

Thanks for the video, man. i had mine for over 1 year, and boy, it's falling apart little by little. The codes are another thing to be knowledgeable, i am sure you know, but us clients won't. The door seal goes out quickly, with a tiny leakage. Question, buttom leakage: Would you say that's the pump with a small crack?

I have the same washer and it will start a cycle try a few times to lock the door and then flash DOOR across the screen but the door is locked, after waiting a few minutes the door will unlock, i've already replaced the electronic door locker and it continues to do the same, What would the next item to replace inverter board or main board thanks

My front load is just over a year old. I wipe the gasket and leave the door open after use. Well, it leaks detergent from the gasket. What do I do?

[jameulemans]

We have one of these and water is leaking from under the top panel. I don’t think the drawer has any options to leak but I wish there was a video on what the source could be without taking the whole thing apart.

We own one, a common problem is that the roof of the detergent dispenser somehow gets the water dispensers clogged. When that happens the water does not spray straight down, but off to the side, and then drips on the floor. I had to figure it out myself because when we had a repairman come he came up with some expensive item that would not have fixed the issue. The current issue is loud squeaking when running an average sized load. We think it's the shock absorbers.

I searched your channel…do you have the same type of video, but on LG front load washers? Thx

My Smart Dispense Tank Low light will not go off even after refilling the detergent. I have unplugged a few times. Nothing resets.

I had this for less than a week and returned it. I wanted to love it but had issues from the 1st wash. It shook violently, leaked detergent, canceled washes 10 minutes into a cycle, then turned off, and began to smell like it was burning.

[MichaelWasowicz]

I need an opinion. I have a 2017 front loading GE washer and I've noticed that the door is not locking properly. Occasionally it will latch and then it unlatches and latches again to start the cycle. But today I heard it just clicking quietly and I had to close the door and open it a few times power it off or it even to engage at least once and it's very hit and miss. I don't know if it's possible to contact you for further details. I am trying to get it corrected but I am a little annoyed as it was pretty much brand new when I received it back in 2021.

2 months in and I’m having problems. Pretty bummed out.

[crystalmurphy]
