GE Ultrafast Washer Dryer Combo: How to Access & Remove Heat Pump System

GE should pay you for the excellent worst case scenario drying system repair video! Especially if they make simple modifications for easier service.

Awesome job analyzing that process, filming it, and explaining everything! Such an interesting machine.

Thank you Ben for being the first to show this machine being disassembled and reassembled. You video will be a source of reference for all when we need to repair the machine. Thank you.

I live in Puerto Rico and the machine work great. You need to learn how to used. We are 3 in the house, and we got all are laundry done on two wash. The first 3 wash we was having problems but after we watch some videos we learn a was ours mistakes. So now the we learn how to used it now we loved.

I think this repair is a bit early but at least you have it posted because anybody who purchased this machine still has a l warranty on it. Great job !

I have considered buying one of these units and I have to admit that the lint/heat pump coil problem is a deal breaker. The fins on the heat pump are too fragile and bend easy and just makes things even worse. They need to make the coils more accessible and easier to remove so they can be hosed out or have compressed air used on them. This unit, while clever, is not worth the price considering the near term future problems keeping the coils clean. Great video Ben. thanks.

First time on your channel, great work on this video, I firmly believe companies are not doing enough to help independent contractors out there and that brings issues in the field when they need to perform repairs. Thanks again for your time and effort.

Cleaning that condenser coil is going to be a must. I promise it's going to get full of lint and start smelling like mildew. GE will probably have some auto-type kit that has a long tube to feed foam cleaner, but that's not going to remove lint well. Over-all this looks like a PITA to service vs a standard front load washer.

Just came here because I was curious how it's engineered. Thank you for the teardown! Super non-standard parts, but I welcome the innovation even if it means it changes the way we repair these machines Moving parts will always fail, so even in the future, manufacturers should absolutely still design with a focus on the machine's ability to be maintainenced. This one isn't bad, but I only assume it's going to get better.

I just got one of these units. I am both entertained and educated now!

You are the first utube video breakdown but not the first to remove the heat exchanger out. As a GE tech. We had our training months ago. Great video training 😉

You're a legend for already posting a video like this. Much appreciated!

Subscribed instantly once i read title. Great job reaching to the farthest frontiers of the unknown 🙌

Rather buy a new machine than try to repair this 😅 thank you for the video always love tear downs

THANK YOU for making this video !!!! I've been interested in this unit ever since it was announced, and purchased one last June when it was released. I knew going in the heat exchanger would be a weak point (clogging with lint over time) and so in my head have been visualizing the internal design. And I was hoping GE designed it so the heat exchanger would be easy to access and clean. Well.....based on your teardown maybe not so much. But at least I got to see all the internal details of this awesome machine. Yes the heat exchanger is going to be a problem in the long run....hopefully V2.0 will solve this via automated water jet cleaning, mega-filters, or something. For this version, I will just get in there and clean it out periodically. But most consumers won't do that so it is in GE's best interest to figure out a "home remedy" pronto ! And yes, I know about the hack for sealing up the black filter but am not a fan (yet).....if the tape fails over time that could cause some issues downstream. I feel GE did a pretty decent job with the filter system.....bottom line is no matter what you do that heat exchanger is going to get lint on it over time ! One last thiing....have you done a video on the water pump "filter" ? I don't recall any cleaning being mentioned in the manual but the other day my unit wasn't drying because the filter was 100% clogged with fuzz/lint and not allowing water to drain out from the tub. Easy fast fix but since I don't have the stand sort of a pain.......I hope everyone who owns this machine is aware they gotta clean that filter out every now and then. GE should add a reminder into the firmware !

I see 500-1mil views in 1 year because of how amazing the break down is

thanks! this is interesting for me. only now I've realized the hot and cold radiators are next to each other and it looks more beefy than a 5000 BTU air conditioner. It appears GE can easily add a dehumidifier function for room dehumidification with a limited runtime per day. It's a quirky feature but then consider that this machine is best for small homes like a condo or apartment which would want a multiple function appliance.

Bruh😂😂😂 thankyou!!! I'm a repair tech and got one of the heat pump system replacements coming up! Thanks for this video

This guy is a no joke🎉respect 👏

My man Ben! Just what I wanted to see. I'll have to check this out when it's not Friday and I'm out of work mode. 😂
