Had a Maytag previously and decided on GE. Washer is great but not fond of the venting cycle when done. Accustomed to opening the door and soap dispenser as mold will grow. Allegedly this machine is different. I do note that even when vented I still open the door and of course the light stays on for a period. Also upon pulling the soap dispenser after venting - residual water remains. Overall nice machine. As in the dryer match I had to order and out of stock pedestal and still waiting.
