A washing machine cycle took a startling turn for one homeowner when a loud boom sent him rushing to the laundry room. Bruce Johnson says his GE washer’s lid had come off its hinges and flown across the room, leaving him stunned. His TikTok account of the incident has since gained tens of thousands of views.
He explained that he had owned the GE SmartWash technology washer, along with a matching dryer, for a little over two years. Roughly 20 minutes later, Johnson claimed he heard a sudden loud boom with no earlier noise or other warning that anything was wrong.
