Purchased a brand new GE dishwasher through Lowe’s, which was installed in March. After first attempt to use the dishwasher I was not able to program the dishwasher and it doesn’t run, clean or dry the dishes the way it is supposed to. Since the product was under warranty I contacted GE and they sent out a tech from Bodewell. He has now been out 3 times and replaced parts 2 times and dishwasher still is not working. He again ordered more parts today and will need to come out again next week. This will be 4 times now that I have taken time off work to sit and wait all day for him to come just to tell me it still is not working, he ordered yet more parts and I will have to take another day off work for more parts that may or may not fix the dishwasher. I have complained to GE/Bodewell and get the same response that they will not refund my money and take the dishwasher back. I purchased a brand new dishwasher that should have worked properly. I just want them to come and get the dishwasher and refund my money. Lowe’s reports they can’t do anything because it is under warranty with GE.Business Response

I have a model #AHWG10BWQ1
serial# ********* wall ac.
I'm elderly and I'm on a social security fixed income. I called General electric because I still have warranty on this unit until July 2025. They told me they were going to send a contractor to fix the unit . It never happened. When I spoke with them next it happens that my ac idoes not have warranty to fix the issue so they want me to buy another unit thru a rebate program and I would have to but another ac so they can rebate me the money I spent and the 2nd option is to buy another one directly from them costing about $160.00. I explained to them so then why do I have a warranty if I cannot get it fixed. I want to add that I'm on a fixed income. I sometimes fall short at ends month. I truly believe there is something wrong here. Please help me resolve my issue . Thus is not right . Why do I have a warranty then? I hope no one else has the same issue. I waited long periods of time on the phone waiting to speak with representatives from GE and they pass me around to different departments with no help what so ever.Business Response

Service technician was called on April 17th, 2025 to look at a fridge that was not cooling through an insurance claim. The technician arrived April 18th to repair the fridge but was told I would have to pay up front since the fridge was out of warranty. We said ok but needed an itemized receipt to take to the insurance provider. He agreed and went to do diagnostics on the fridge which is when we were quoted over $2000 and had to decline work because insurance wouldn’t cover repairs over the original value of the fridge ($1949.99). He then charged us $144.95 which he said couldn’t be itemized. He said it’s for diagnostics. Before paying we asked if we could get the estimate of the denied work to take to the insurance and he said it would be given out once payment was received. We paid and never received any estimate, the technician then called tech support number but it was closed and so we had to wait till Monday. Monday April 21st comes and we call customer support. We are then told the technician has till end of day to give us an itemized receipt and that there is nothing they can do. End of day we receive a call from the technician that tech support messed up his computer and there is no eta when it will be repaired. Customer support is east coast and so we can only call during our lunches. My partner was able to call Thursday April 26th and she was finally given a case number. She receives an itemized receipt stating diagnostic was $0. Which does not make since, what were we charged for then? She is then told that they have a system wide outage and she would have to wait till Tuesday April 29th to get it resolved. That the itemized receipt will be mailed. At minimum a three weeks without a fridge. Food has already spoiled, and we are icing medication. I need the itemized receipt for the charges we paid and for the denied work. Getting it mailed out isn’t a resolution because given the diagnostic receipt showing a charge of $0 how can I verify its legitimacy.Business Response

On Friday 04/18/25 we purchased a GE PROFILE refrigerator from Home Depot At Gulfport MS. This was delivered early, 7:30 am, today Thursday, 04/24/25. It was discovered later that the water was not working, we could not dispense any water and the ice maker was not filling with water to make ice. We texted 38689 at 12:10pm, to report the problem. We explained what was wrong and requested someone to come out to fix problem today. We were told that the earliest they could have someone to come out was Saturday, 04/26/25. They explained that they were not able to schedule same day services. This was not acceptable for us. Between me and my husband we were transferred or given another phone number multiple times. GE stated that it was Home Depot's responsibility to assist us in correcting the problem, while Home Depot stated that it was GE's responsibility. We were told that if the refrigerator was defective we only had 48 hours to have it replaced. The available appointment Saturday, 04/26/25 is over the 48 hour time limit. When we requested the GE Profile refrigerator to be replaced today, 04/24/25, we were told that they could not replace it until it was determined to be defective during Saturday 04/26/25 appointment. At this time we had had enough, we requested that they come pick the refrigerator up. We were told that they could not pick it up until Tuesday, 04/29/25 and that we would not get a refund until the refrigerator was processed. Meanwhile we are without a refrigerator.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I need someone to look into this case. The earliest service appointment I can find is in July 2024, but there may be earlier I couldn't find. The appliances constantly has issues, and the technician has already visited the house about ten times. I have tried to communicate by phone, but they just keep sending technicians even the same technician has been here so much times. I asked for another technician but they sent anybody else. We paid over 20000 for those appliances , it shouldn't have this much problems.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:They have been trying to fix it since July 2024. The technician was in the house on Tuesday and told us this is his last try. He doesn’t know what he can do to fix it after this try. We really need people looking into this. The technician told us two times that the fridge was used when we got it. We have no clue why he said that too.

In April of 2024 I purchased a GE all in one washer dryer combo. It has never dried clothes, which I understand they'll never be 100% dry because of the condensation etc. But I started having problems in January. Technicians have been here 4 or 5 times to repair the unit. Two different technicians have ordered different parts. It takes 6 or 7 hours to do a load of laundry and they still come out WET needing hung up to dry. I have asked them to just replace it with another unit or I would rather a stackable system at this point. I live in handicap apartments and they don't allow for external venting but I've since learned you can safely vent them inside. This is a huge inconvenience to me as I'm handicap, I've had to go to the laundry mat for months and spent a lot of money at the laundry mat. Ge has reimbursed me part of that expense. A technician is scheduled to come back Thursday. Now, I'm over the 1 year warranty so they definitely don't want to refund or exchange the machine even tho it has been broke since January. At this point it is just a cobbled together piece of junk that cost a lot of money.Business Response

I'm sorry to hear of the trouble this consumer has had with their combo laundry unit.
I tried reaching out to the consumer, but we had to leave a voicemail.
I know she mentioned a technician coming out to her home last Thursday. I would like to follow up from that that repair to see if the issue has been resolved or if she is in need of further service.
We will wait for her return phone call or reach out to her again in the next few days.
