I purchased a GE heavy duty top load washer in November of 2006.  We had to call a

repairman on July 21st because it wouldn't go into the spin cycle.  I had always purchased

KENMORE but I thought I would just try a GE. BIG MISTAKE!  The  repairman charged me

$45.00 to tell me that it would cost more to fix than to buy a new one.  We were told to

junk it.  The start button was a " touch button."  Sometimes it started, sometimes it didn't.

I will never buy another GE product.
