We purchased a GE profile washer dryer combo. We called April 7th. The compressor was bad so they had a gentleman come on April 25th to replace it. It does dry now however, it makes a very loud terrible sound and gets really hot when the compressor is running. The repairman came back on April 30th and said that he was unable to fix it. I have called GE everyday. They are having trouble finding someone to repair it and have suggested that we find someone. Everyday when I call I get the same answer, it will take 24 to 48 hours to find someone. I have asked for a replacement but they are unwilling to do that. The compressor is under warranty. I would appreciate ANY help that you can give me. I am tired and aggravated about this whole situation. It has been going on for a month now and I just need to get it resolved. Thank you so much for your help.Business Response

I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot on 4/9/25 ot was delivered on 4/19/25. GE dryer GTD58EBSVWS. Less than 1 week after delivery dryer was not drying clothes and when running made a loud thumping/banging sound. Repair man came out assessed the dryer and determined the dryer needs a new heating element and drum. He also put a huge dent on the top edge of the dryer. I want GE to exchange this dryer for a new dryer. This dryer is a week old and already causing problems.Business Response

I purchased a GE Stacking Washer Dryer. That set immediately had issues in the spin cycle we had several repairs and ultimately, we were told to replace both the washer and dryer. We then Purchased another GE Stacking Washer Dryer from ***** which again has been serviced multiple times. We have always been loyal to the GE Brand but feel these washer and dryers have a default. You sometimes get shocked when touching the metal door. The washer makes a ton of noise in the spin cycle even after getting repaired. The dryer also makes a very loud wining sound during use. We would simply like GE to offer us credit to replace the set. We still have the old set sitting in our garage. Between both sets we have almost 4 k invested. We simply want a working washer and dryer set. The last set we bought we were told was the top of the line. We simply want someone from GE to value our business and get this worked out for us. Phone calls have yielded no help to us at all. I can send pictures videos etc. We dont really want cash back or anything just credit for what we paid towards a replacement set.Business Response

We purchased a General Electric dishwasher from Best Buy on 4/11/23 and on 4/20/25, the tenant at our property where the dishwasher was installed and used stated that the dishwasher would shut off during mid-wash/rinse cycles. We called E&J Appliance to do the repair and the washer pump needed to be replaced and they also stated this is a common problem with the GE model we purchased. The repair was $447.48. I contacted General Electric Appliance for some relief on the cost of the repair so they asked for the model number (sent) and the serial number (I sent the pic but because of how the serial number tag was applied, some of the numbers had worn off). I also sent them a copy of the purchase receipt from Best Buy and a copy of the repair invoice. General Electric stated there was nothing they could do for this issue due to the serial number not being fully readable. I would think the receipt should suffice as a proof of purchase - I understand that serial number would help but I didn't apply the serial number tag and,, as stated earlier, this is a common problem with the model. I'd like some financial restitution for the repair.Business Response

GE Appliances has reached out to the consumer and advised that the manufacturers warranty expired 4/13/2024, however they look to be covered under the Best Buy Protection plan that they pay for and it is clearly stated on their purchase receipt that they shared. No further action to take.

I have a GE refrigerator with a simple problem. I installed an R/O system and wanted to bypass the refrigerator filter to restore proper flow through the dispenser. So I installed the GE Bypass plug as instructed. Now I get an "Err" message and no water.
After filling out three contact forms which received no response and four phone calls. No one in GE knows what the "Err" error message is and how to address it. Know one knows why the their own GE bypass plug does work or what to do about it. No one has any interest in tracking done the solution. One GE technician suggest I hired a repairman to come and look at the refrigerator at my expense. How would a repairman know how to fix it, if the GE technician don't know. I would assume that since their filters have a chip in them to force you to buy their expensive filters, that the plug would need one as well and since the plug they sold me send an error message, it must be missing the chip. But they won't send me another plug.Business Response

We bought a new GE appliances refrigerator on August 17th, 2022 at the ******* ******** Appliances in *******, PA. Since this we have had nothing but problems with two GE refrigerators, the original and the replacement. On August 26 2024, after over a year of back and forth with GE, we got a warranty replacement refrigerator delivered because our fridge was making a revving and whirring noise. Two days later the fridge started making the same noise. I reached out to the GE agents who were on the original case and they were unable to do anything without scheduling a diagnostic visit, even though it was the same exact issue that we had a tech out over 5 times for. I was 7 month pregnant at the time, so we did not schedule a tech and hoped the issue wouldn't get worse. On Christmas Eve of 2024, the fridge started getting warm, so we bumped it down as cold as it can go (34 degrees). We have been monitoring the temperature and the fridge was 45.7 degrees. At this point, GE has given me two refrigerators that are lemons and is refusing to do anything about it, except send more techs out to attempt to fix an obviously faulty product. At this point, I am requesting a refund to get our money back for the faulty refrigerator we bought since we have now had two GE refrigerators that cannot keep our food cold and have had techs out to attempt to replace parts over 7 times. Additionally,. every time a tech comes out they seem to find even more issues, such as the defrost, door switches, etc. Yesterday I opened up the freezer to find it filled with frost. This is unacceptable and I would like a refund.Business Response

We purchased this built in nugget ice maker 3 years ago and clean it regularly as instructed. We have discovered visible mold growth inside the internal parts of the unit (not the parts we clean per instructions), which is not only unsanitary but poses a health risk.
Despite regular use and standard maintenance (cleaning when the light comes on), the presence of mold suggests a possible design flaw, ventilation issue, or deeper problem with the unit. I request that this matter be addressed immediately through a thorough cleaning, inspection, and, replacement of moldy parts and if necessary, replacement of the ice maker to ensure it is safe and hygienic to use.Business Response

On march 22,2025 I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot. I had a situation where they sold me it when they knew they couldn’t hook it up so I was going back and forth with them for that situation where I didn’t take my dryer out the box. Once I did the dryer didn’t start. Home Depot told me to call he because I don’t have a warranty with them but I do have one with ge. I called ge and they send me a technician that said I needed a motor. They ordered the motor and was supposed to to come to replace it. Once another technician came he said it wasn’t the motor it a defective part in the dryer and it’s a manufactured problem. He said they need to replace it but once he gave me the service # to give to them they said they not replacing but he can fix it. He was suppose to order the part then but no. They gave me another appt and that appt he call and said did they replace it and once I said no they said you suppose to replace it today he said let me give you a callback so I can see why they didn’t replace it. He never called back and he ordered the part that day they told me once I called to ask why he didn’t come. He ordered the part that day when it should have been ordered and replace that day. So they made me another appt and that appt came and he was a no show and when I called them to see where he at they said he in route to me but never came. I called back they was closed. I called the next day and they keep giving me another appt day but it’s still not getting repaired and can’t get no one to repair or trying to help me get it repaired. I bought this so called new dryer and I never got any use out of it and spend over 600 dollars and they not trying to help. I need help I don’t have money to waste and have kids that need to have their clothes dried. I’m still using money to take them to the laundry and I shouldn’t have to when I bought the dryer.

Over a month-long unresolved repair/replacement issue with a broken GE gas stove.
• On 11DEC25, I purchased GE Gas Range GGF600AVBB (SN GZ090677Q) from Lowes (Invoice 75746) in Goldsboro, NC, for $800.63.
• Problem began April 5, 2025. Despite multiple calls and interactions with GE representatives, no progress has been made due to the unresponsiveness of GE and US Appliance.
Below are interaction dates w/ Lowes, GE and US Appliance with results:
• 5APR25 – No one to answer call.
• 7APR25 – Called talked to ***** who transferred me to ******* (Case Mngr). ******* made appt. with US Appliance for 9APR25.
• 8APR25 – US Appliance inspected stove. be in touch 24-48hours.
• 9 &13APR25 – called US Appliance. Left msgs, no call back.
• 15APR25 – Called GE to for repair status. GE attempted contact w/ US Appliance by email/calling. No answer.
• 18APR25- Called GE status. Talked to Melissa (CSR) and Laura (CSR Manager), told GE won't consider replacing stove until 25 days have passed with no repair. Asked GE to reimburse of the increased costs of our family having to order food b/c stove not working. Offered a gift card as “good faith gesture”.
• 18APR25- Asked Lowes to stand behind their product and make this purchase right so I could have a working stove, they work w/ GE on defective stove. Manager offered $100 credit toward the purchase of a new one wouldn't exchange stove.
• 22APR25- original case manager from GE called. No update on repair, bawled me out saying they don't having time to deal w/ me. Said I could have talked to anyone, it didn't have to be her. I explained I had talked to others.
o ******* (Cs Mngr) unable to get a status from US Appliance. offered a partial reimbursement ($250) for a self-arranged repair or restarting the service process, further delaying resolution.
I feel wholly unsupported and burdened by the financial and emotional strain of not having a working stove, especially with a sick child and recent holidays.Business Response
