The product, in the report: Front loader smart wifi washer. GE® 4.5 cu. ft. Capacity Smart Front Load ENERGY STAR® Washer with UltraFresh Vent System with OdorBlock™ and Sanitize w/Oxi Model: GFW510SCN2WW
Washing machine has a rubber seal inside the door. I made sure it had no items in the way before I shut it. The cycle ran for half an hour longer than it should have. I smelled rubber burning so I stopped it and opened the door. Again, nothing was caught in the seal or door. However, a small pillow had been ripped open and the rubber seal had been obviously degrading during the run. There was blue rubber powder covering everything and the blue rubber liner had obviously been rubbing itself down for the entire cycle. The load was not overly full and nothing sharp or abrasive was in it. Prior to this, about three loads before, I noticed the load had leaked onto the floor and had not spun out completely. That was a bouy 4 days ago. Two nights ago I woke up to hear the washer turning itself on. With its door open. The display said cancelled on it. The machine was off and empty. I was unable to unplug it due to its installed position. It continued running in this manner for half an hour. We just moved into this apartment less than a month ago. This is a brand new building that just finished building August 14th, 2021. Each of these issues is costly and destructive. I searched online and have found literally thousands of similar or exactly the same complaints made in the last year.clearly these issues are a defective product. Not a random occurrence. Also, my unit has been running extremely high levels of humidity. Thus has forced me to constantly run air conditioning and fans and an air purifier. This happens whe. Appliances are running on loads that cannot handle them. This too is the majority of the complaints I’ve found. These machines won’t run correctly on Any load of power. This is a fire danger. It’s all a huge fire danger
