GE class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Avroham Sherman filed a class action lawsuit against Haier US Appliance Solutions Inc., doing business as GE Appliances.
- Why: Sherman claims GE Appliances sold washer-dryer combo appliances with defective lint traps and air ducts that cause excessive lint accumulation.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.
A new class action lawsuit accuses GE Appliances of selling washer-dryer combo appliances with defective lint traps and air ducts that cause excessive lint accumulation.
Plaintiff Avroham Sherman claims the defect causes the appliances to fail to perform their central function of drying laundry.
Sherman wants to represent a New York class of consumers who purchased or leased a GE Ultrafast 2-in-1 washer-dryer combo.
The class action lawsuit claims GE Appliances failed to disclose the alleged defect to consumers who have been turned away from receiving repairs or have received ineffective cleaning or superficial repair of components that are not the source of the defect.
“As a result, the dryer’s lint filtration system fails to prevent lint from reaching the dryer’s evaporator (cooling) and condenser (heating) coils, as it would if the dryer were not defective,” the GE class action lawsuit says.
Sherman argues GE Appliances is guilty of breach of warranty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and fraudulent concealment and of violating the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act and New York General Business Law.
GE class action claims company knew about defect
Sherman claims GE Appliances has long known of the alleged defect and that the appliances’ lint traps and ducts are not fit for their intended purpose. The plaintiff argues the company concealed and/or failed to notify the public of the existence and nature of the alleged defect and has not recalled the appliances to replace the malfunctioning duct and lint systems.
Sherman demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, consequential and statutory damages for himself and all class members.
In another class action involving home appliances, Electrolux Consumer Products Inc. was sued over allegations it sold Frigidaire ovens with a dangerous defect that can cause the glass window on the front of the appliance to explode.

96 thoughts onGE Appliances sued over washer-dryer combo that allegedly fails to dry clothes
It’s been a year and I’ve had the compressor done twice. It’s not drying the clothes. The dispensers for the soap and fabric softener don’t work. The guy was out today again to fix it for the third time please refund me my money.
We bought this washing machine 15 months ago and we are having the exact same issue. Please add me to the lawsuit.
I’ve had this combo for about three years now and had problems after about 7 months now no water will come in the machine and the filter had started to stay wet I can’t wash my clothes, please replace my washer/ dryer or give me my full refund
Same issue, terrible lint filter system, GE should be ashamed of such a lousy filter system. GE sold this high end expensive machine knowing of the defect.
Full refund or updated replacement repairs must be offered.
Hands down the absolute worst product I have ever purchased!!! Worked ok for the first 6 months and then completely quit drying. Clothes are super wrinkled and stink. I was so excited to get this and seeing that several others are having the same problems. I have had a technician out here over 4 times and have not had a functional washer/dryer for over 6 mths now. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! GE literally just keeps offering service and telling me the machine is working fine…ITS NOT. I have another tech coming Monday again who will probably say the same thing. This appliance is crap and it’s unfortunate that GE won’t back their product that is clearly defective.
We purchased a GE Profile Washer/Dryer combo a little over 2 years a go and have had a drying problem a little after the first year . Had a repairman out and he cleaned the condenser coils and it was ok for a few months and it started not drying again called Bodewell for service and they refused because they said it was out of warranty so now we have a $2,700 machine that we can’t get service for what a rip off!
We have had the GE Ultrafast Combo Washer Dryer for 3 years and have had continual problems since day one. We have had multiple repair calls and replacement parts, but it never fixes the problems. GE should be forced to suspend sales and issue full refunds to all purchasers.
Add me
I bought my GE Washer Dryer Combo unit PFQ97HSPVDS in July of 2025. I have had issues with poor drying almost from the start. I watched multiple videos about link cleaning, etc and bought the suggested brushes. I have had service out and they replaced some parts and said it would be good as new but the first wash after servicing I still get repeated 353 error messages and end up having to hang the laundry up to dry. The repairman said it was a 2023 model (why I don’t know as I bought it in 2925) but that the new parts would make it like the newer models and should work fine. – NOPE!!! The repairman is coming back tomorrow. I believe the problem is the faulty filter system which allows lint to coat the condensers and gets stuck in unreachable areas. Please suggest any help you can.
I have had the GE Profile washer dryer combo for about 2 years and have had to have it repaored 2X for the same problem.
