GE washer Clunking is Normal says Service tech.

[mikeydiker]

I have a 3 month old GE washer paid around $400.00. When it gets ready to go into a spin cycle, there is a loud clunking sound, most likely the gears engaging, it then spins as normal. The spining slows and gets faster with clunking between spins. Another person servicing my home said thats not normal, its a bad transmission. ITs a known problem with the GE washers. THe GE guy comes out, ran a cycle with the service panel off, and says that sound is normal, its just the gears engaging. With an electronic unit, all the starting and slowing, its a normal sound. Any ideas[?]

Thanks
Mike

Sorry to say I can't seem to come up with anything for you.
How about you go back to the place you got it from and ask them to run one in the store for you.
That way you would have something to compare it to.

You could also call GE and tell them you are not happy with the service you are getting. They may send someone else out to take a look at it.
Sometimes getting a different technician to look things over is all it take.

Please keep us updated.

Thanks,
