GE Ranges Reviews

I turned my oven to preheat for a baking dish. When it preheated, I opened the oven and my initial thought and reaction was the oven was on fire. But looking closer, I realized the heating element was sparking uncontrollably. There was obscene amount of smoke, setting of fire alarms, and naturally scaring the crap out of my younger cousin and myself. She didn't know what was going on, and from what she saw, lots of smoke and blinding sparking, she kept asking me if the oven was going to blow up. I threw baking soda on it, to no avail. The sparking just kept traveling along the element, and I decided I needed my extinguisher.

Five months after purchasing a GE 30" gas stove (model JGBS07DEM4), the inner glass door broke while oven was on. It ruined dinner. 2 weeks of inconvenience was experienced, while new glass was ordered and installed.

I purchased a double wall oven, Model # JKP55 in Nov. 2007 and at less than 2 years old, the surface around the touch pad area is coming loose, bubbling and wrinkled. It looks terrible and will hinder us in selling our home in the near future. I'd like to see this problem fixed or the touch pad area replaced.

My 1 year old daughter was severely burned by Hotpoint Oven door. The oven door was closed and in use and the space between the oven door and back of the oven has too wide a gap that an adult can get most of hand inside. She has blistered 4 of her fingers due to this gap. She was able to get her hand between that gap. Now, I have to worry every time I cook that the same will happen again. I will never buy Hotpoint ovens or recommend it due to this issue. Consequences: Severe burns on her fingers. I called emergency after hours hotline and 2 trips to the doctor.

We purchased a GE combination convection oven and microwave (Model # PT970b0M1BB, Serial # MM6135840). The convection oven has never worked right, and after 4 service calls it has still not been repaired. The first time they came out, they said there was nothing wrong. The second time, they said it was the temperature sensor and/or the control board, but they didn't have the parts. The 3rd time, they replaced the parts, but the oven still wasn't working after the repair. The 4th time they said it was the lower burner, and they didn't have that part either. They told me it would take another week. I called the GE complaint department to have the part sent overnight, but the service technician still won't come back to (allegedly) fix it until next week. Apparently, GE doesn't teach their techs to properly troubleshoot or test their work.

We purchased a stove with a convection oven as well as a grill on the top. In November 2008, a month later, we contacted GE for a problem related with the stove. 3 months later, it’s for the other issue - stove. Four times the technician has come to my home to repair that appliance. Now, the top grill does not work or simply the flame is so small that we cannot even grill a piece of bacon or an egg. The gas goes out but the flame does barely or disappears, letting the gas out (smelling gas). The technician showed up yesterday - nothing can be done. Besides all those problems, we have a rust issue. The machine is only 9 months old. All my stainless appliances are fine, except the GE stove. GE’s customer service told me that it is ok to have rust and this is only a cosmetic issue and so they do not feel responsible at all. As for the others issues, I was told that they won’t exchange the machine and only send a technician over and over.

I installed my new GE cooktop (Model: PP945BM2BB / Serial: DS700385Q) into my newly-remodeled kitchen. The cooktop came without a protective film during shipment. The manual said to remove the film before cooking, but none was to be found. The cooktop was installed during March 2009. Around the end of May, I noticed a scratch on the surface of the cooktop. At the time, all I had done was put a baking pan of toast on the top of the cooktop.

I have a GE range and hood. The hood broke and needed a new switch. GE no longer makes this switch. Trying to obtain repairs or a replacement hood has proven to be a major chore. There is no way to get a human being through the various numbers provided for consumer service. Even if I dial a number given to me by the repairman (who was the only GE person who was any good, by the way), or tried to return a call to GE left on my answering machine, I get a notification to call a different number.

The oven glass exploded. In no form is the truth being stretched. We were in another room when we hear a huge crash. When we went into the kitchen, we found where the oven door had exploded, shooting glass to the other side of the kitchen and further into the utility room. Had someone been standing in front of it, there would have been serious injuries. The oven was purchased on December 31, 2007 and the door busted in July 2009. The oven was only 1 year and 7 months old. The oven had not been on all day long when it shattered. I had used the ceramic cook top for about 15 minutes about 3 hours earlier. It was completely cooled down when it exploded. The glass lay on the floor and popped around like popcorn in a microwave. Pretty scary!

GE free standing range model #JBP35DOK4WW - The top surface element arc flashed and melted through element, shooting sparks and a bright white flash. It ruined the drip pan and burned completely through the surface element. Smoke caused by the meltdown caused two smoke detectors to alarm. The stainless steel pan was on burner at the time with a medium setting. Had anyone grabbed the pan handle at that time, they may have been electrocuted, seriously injured or even blinded by the flying slag. The burner and drip pan are ruined. The top of the stove is pitted by arc flash. We installed an alternate element and it does not work. My wife is traumatized and fears using the stove. I feel the public should be made aware of this very dangerous condition. I have wired several homes and know this stove can be fatal.

We purchased this unit in March of 2007 (manufacturing date was 2006). A couple of weeks after we bought the oven, I was baking cookies and I heard a loud pop. The inner glass of the oven door had shattered. A service professional did come out after a couple of weeks, said he'd repaired several like this and ordered the glass. A couple of weeks later, he came and replaced it. Now, in July of 2009, the microwave suddenly just stopped working. The inside light and the fan work, but the turntable will not turn and the microwave does not generate heat. My husband researched this and it looks like the magnetron.

In June 2009, I turned on the oven cleaner of my GE Spectra stove. An hour or so later, I was upstairs and heard a popping noise. I went downstairs to investigate, but I saw nothing out of place. Later, when I opened the oven to clean out the residue, I saw that the inside glass was in several pieces. GE wants to charge me to have someone come out and determine what kind of repair needs to be made and then charge me for parts and labor on top of that. Repairing the oven is not in my budget right now, so I have no use of the oven. What really bothers me is that the glass should have been designed and made to withstand the tremendous heat generated by the oven cleaner. The stove, while not under warranty, is not so old and I have only had to clean the oven on two other occasions since November 2006.

Two days ago, the GE Spectra stove that I purchased in 2002 caught fire when my wife was baking pizza. Inside, the oven lower heating element caught fire. It had a sparkler effect while it burned. The fuses were blown off and the fire eventually broke the lower heating element into big three pieces and small burned metal pieces were stuck to the sides of the oven. When we tried to open the overheated oven door to let the smoke out, the one side that holds the door broke off. We have called GE services and we are awaiting for them to come and fix this problem. We have two kids that constantly make pizza, my wife bakes a lot.

On 2006, I bought on Best Buy a GE Profile range, GE Profile refrigerator and GE Profile microwave. Just after the year, the range do not power off correctly. It stays on when the controls indicate it is off. The hot cooktop indicators remain on too when the range is off. This is very dangerous. I called GE and they only said the warranty expired and I did not buy the extended warranty.

I bought an electric oven on July 1, 2006. Since then, it was repaired 3x at the combined cost equal to the new one. It ruined our Thanksgiving dinner with many guests, when it was 1.5 years old. GE does not want to hear of a refund.

My stove caught fire. I called GE recall line and was told that I would get a new stove that was like mine. A tech came out and told the support person on the phone that it had caught fire and we need a new stove. It took two weeks to line all of this up and with little help from GE. The delivery people unpacked the new stove after the one that caught fire was loaded. Then I was pulled aside and shown the order while the other person finished unpacking the new stove. It looks just like the old one but it is not. It is the cheapest model they make.

I purchased a new built-in single oven from GE approximately 3 years ago. There were numerous problems that I had, including the temperature not being accurate, strong smell of gas including a headache and smoke pouring out of the oven without anything in it but it was on. The servicemen came out about six different times and finally fixed the gas smelling problem. According to them, they put in all new parts. I continued to ask for a new oven because I was frightened. Finally, they appeared to have fixed it without installing a new oven. Today, June 13, 2009, I was baking some coffee cakes for a graduation party. They were being baked one at a time. Both were burned at the bottom even though the second one, I raised the rack to a higher level. After that happened, I decided to put into the oven a fairly expensive thermometer and set the oven fro 375 degrees. The outcome was the oven heated to 430 degrees. Thus, the reason for the burning. For approximately one year, the oven appeared to work fine. Now I am faced again with repair bills for an oven that is obviously faulty.

GE Profile Stove, model number JS90050k458. Liquid ran down between the oven door inside glass and outside glass. There is a space at the top of the oven door. Poor design! There is no spill safety as in this case to catch overflow of food cooking on top of the stove. My stove is new and the door glass cannot be cleaned since it is inside the glass. I spent 3 hours trying to contact someone to help other than hiring someone to take the oven door apart. The person at the above number hung up on me when he could not give me any answers. I’m very disappointed in GE and we have many appliances, and to make matters worse, my husband has stock in GE. I won't purchase any GE products again as far as I am concerned.

We bought a Hotpoint in February for a new kitchen in our cabin. We used it once in March. We were putting cabinets in and wasn't there at the time full time yet. It wouldn't work. We called the warehouse, they gave us a service tech. We called him. He came out and said he would have the part (brand new stove?) in seven days. He never called. Three weeks went by, we called the warehouse again. She said Mark wasn't in and said she would call service. She called back a few days later and said the part was back ordered and be in next week. Three weeks went by, no one called us, we had to call them. Now, we're talking to the manager. He says he has to talk to the GE rep. All we wanted was to trade it for a stove with no LED lights to work it and buy a GE microwave. No one has called. It's been over a week. Mind you, this has been going on since the beginning of March! I have not been able to cook anything since March. It is June now. I will have to go to BBB. I have no other alternative. No one will work with us. I paid almost $500 for an appliance we can't use!

We remodeled the kitchen with all new stainless steel appliances. I selected the GE Profile glass top slide in range, which is great - I love the glass top gas. But what you don't hear about is the fan that continually runs to keep the digital controls cool. This blows hot air out the vents continually while the oven is on, and it is even worse when the door is opened to remove cooked items. The hot air blasts the room. In Arizona, this was a poor choice - I will not be cooking in the summer. There is no one to relay this information, and I think it would be important to a lot of people. It is worse when the convection is on. They say that the fan shuts off when the door is opened, but that is 30 sec after the door is opened, enough time to blast the room with very hot air. I am not happy with the way this product is engineered.

I recently bought a new Adora gas cooktop and oven. The oven has a horrible chemical burn-off problem! I have looked online and many other people have been complaining about how unacceptably long it takes for the oven to stop emitting a strong chemical stink. After cycling the oven to 500F and back several times, we decided to try a self-clean cycle to try to burn off whatever toxic chemicals are still stuck in this thing. This caused the oven (no food was ever cooked in it) to emit enough smoke to leave yellow smoke residue on the top of the door and burner knobs.

My problem is deciding whether or not to repair this GE piece of crap oven for the ignite burner or buy a new one. The piece of equipment is just $25-30 bucks, but these repair people want $75 just to show up and tell me what I already know; then tack on another $200 if I let them fix it. A comparable new oven will cost around $600-750, not including the installation fee. The only thing I can decide on is the fact that I don't want to feed dead horse - meaning what else may go wrong with this GE junk that has no warranty. Also, after reading all the complaints in this thread, I definitely will not be buying another crappy GE oven. My previous oven was a Maytag and I had it longer than this one, but it never went down. This piece of crap put out by GE came with my new house, which I've only been in for 6 years now. What a piece of unreliable junk.

I purchased a new GE stove this month. It is lighting yellow and the pots and kitchen are getting soot. The tech at Zaaqs Trading, 8686774000, says, "That's the way the stove is designed to work." My reply is, "If so, then GE needs to make another one, then look for a piece of rope." I need another stove. The model is jgbso7dem.

My stove was less than one year old when it started chipping down through the enamel on the top of the stove under the burner pans. All of the burners have been affected. I went to Sears to register a complaint but the person I needed to see was not in both times I went in last Sept. and Nov. Today, April 1, 2009, I went in to see if anything could be done, but the warranty was up in Feb. 09. I want to know if any of this same model has had more complaints about this kind of chipping around each of the burners. I do not know who to call about having it looked at and see if it can be repaired.

GE Monogram range/oven is out of warranty. After using the cleaning cycle the door remained lock and the light was on. I called for service. The estimate to repair was $664.00. I called GE Monogram Service explained the problem and asked if they would give me some assistance on this repair. I did not complain or ** about their products, nor did I threaten never to buy another GE appliance. On the contrary you have to treat people the way you want to be treated. They offered to overnight me all the parts at no charge. I just have to pay the labor. I think that's a fair resolution.

We just moved into a new home in Somerset, NJ. I ordered a Profile Range JGB908SEFSS and got it through the builder's sale office. I have been using the oven and burners, but not at the same time. Today, I was using the oven and went to turn on a burner. The knob was so hot as well as the entire front panel where all the knobs are. I was astounded at how hot these parts were. I am not blaming anyone but GE.

Last fall we purchased a GE Advantium oven & GE profile wall oven. I hate the advantium. The only thing it is good for cooking are the sausage & pastry we saw at Home Depot Expo. WE WILL NEVER BUY GE AGAIN. The oven gets so hot, it has melted pads on the back of a painting on the dining room wall it backs up to. Hence I have NEVER used the self clean cycle for fear of fire. Because of our unhappiness with the ovens, we will re-do our kitchen after the holidays & be SURE not to purchase GE products ever again! What a disappointment for us in your product. I would never advise anyone to buy these ovens. I shall remain a VERY dissatisfied consumer of GE.

Since purchasing my GE XL44 Self -Cleaning Gas Range in 1995, we have had the same part (WB2X9154: igniter broiler/oven) replaced in 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008 (Oct 17). For the privilege of having GE repair its products we have had to pay them $711.90 for all these service calls. That represents about $50 less than the original cost of the oven. To think that because of one part we have basically bought another oven that will break in about a year. I called the GE Consumer Service line and was told that they would investigate why the part breaks in our oven.

I moved into a new condo with all G.E. Profile appliances. After 2 years--with little use, the oven control and key pad, both had to be replaced, at a cost of $500.00. This is absurd for top of the line appliances. Now--I'll buy a 2 year insurance policy!!

We bought 3 GE appliances, April, 2003, an Advantium microwave, GE Profile electric stove and Profile dishwasher. We paid more for the Profile brand thinking we would get a good product. The first thing that happened was the black lettering on the control panel started coming off. This was a year and a half after we bought the appliances. GE told me I must be cleaning the control panel wrong! GE considered this cosmetic so they would not pay for it. I am so careful cleaning these appliances - that was not true.

We purchased our GE Oven, Model JGBP30BCA6WH on 8/16/01. On 10/17/03, we had to have the ignitor replaced in the oven for $181 (Oven cost was $699). The original ignitor's warranty was only one year. New ignitor (WB2X9154) now has a 5 year warranty.

I purchased a GE Electric Range Model JBP80W H3WW March, 2007. I used the self cleaning feature for the first time on Sept 21, 2008. The glass in the oven door shattered during the procedure. I called the service department. I gave them all the details of the problem including serial number and details of the broken glass. I had to take a vacation day from work to wait for the service person. When he arrived he did not have the required part and told me that I would have to pay for the part and labor.

I purchased my home new in 1997 complete with GE Profile appliances. I have had nothing but trouble with the GE Profile Double Oven since day one. It F2's every time you try to self clean it. It has melted my cabinets.

I bought this oven in 1999 for 850.00. It needed repairs in November of 2006 in the amount of 215.48 and again in July of 2007 for the amount of 65.oo. Now I am having the same problem , beeping and an error message that sometimes stops. When it is beeping, nothing works. I do understand that there is no warantee on this product. Nevertheless, GE should stand behind such a troubled product. Don't know if I should spend more money on repairs, or junk it. I have a total of over 1000.00 in this product. It is used very lightly.

My stove top has burn marks just under the knobs from the heat from the stove. Also, I used the self-cleaning element and now there are burn marks on the top of the oven door and towards the front of the door. They cannot be removed. The amount of heat causing this could have caused a fire.

Purchased GE Radiant Self Cleaning Electric Range in January of 2005. Heating Sensor went out in September of 2008. Cost of repair is $169.95 for labor by GE technician. Part comes with waranty But if it breaks again, then I get to pay another labor fee. What would be reasonable is for the labor fee to be covered if the part fails again.

We brought this house a year ago for the past 9 months were conplaining about out GE profile Oven. They replaced the oven door gasket due steam coming out and condensation. were still getting steam and water comming out the bottom of the door. does any body else have this problem or a problem closely retated to this. please get in touch with me I would like to know how it was corrected. Thank You

was having a dinner party and had about 3 items in oven cooking , when i heard a loud pop look in oven and light bulb had exploded,glass was ever where.I had to order food form a restaurant,so my dinner party that would have coast 100.00 ended up coasting me almost 300.00 all toghter .I will never own a ge stove again......like the one person said in here that the burners turn on really easy.......i could go on and on.

The local GE appliance dealer installed a GE Profile electric stove in the fall of 2006. This past week, while baking a roast, the heating element in the oven exploded and flaming pieces of metal fell from the heating element and, fortunately, landed within the oven compartment. An examination of the element showed that about three inches of it had broken apart and there was metal, that at one point had been molten, despoted on the fractured parts of the element and the element itself near the fractures.

I am emailing you this for my mother. It is her information above. She purchased a GE stove about 2 years ago. She has cleaned the oven a few times in the past 2 yrs. One time she used it, it got so hot that the steam must have leaked out the top of the stove and burnt the underneath of where the knobs to work the stove are that overhangs a little. I think this is a safety hazard and maybe could've started a fire. They said she must have spilled something in the oven and not cleaned it up and thats why is did this. They will not cover the replacements under warranty and she has to pay for parts and repair I think. Have you had any other complaints with GE self cleaning ovens?

The main wiring harness on my GE Profile double wall oven burned and melted. The electronic control panel has been replaced six (6)times. There is something definitely wrong with this oven. A small electronic fire must have caused the melting of wires. My wife smelled something burning, opened the oven door, saw a red glow around the oven, and turned the oven off. It could have burned the house down.

The oven of the GE Profile electric range smokes every time I use it. I can't roast a chicken or beef without having the whole place filled with smoke. GE says it's never happened before. Has anyone else had this problem?

The Monogram Designer Hood, 36", ventilation system has a rectangular glass hood. Installed explicitly according to mfg specs., presents a huge personal injury potential. It curves down and is too large. Any bending for cupboard or drawer access, cooking etc. then standing presents the guarantee that you will hit your head, face, eye or neck depending on your height. They said too bad. Don't buy it! We haven't developed a solution yet. We'll probably have to have a tempered glas redesign done. Expensive!

Brand new GE cafe range, ref and profile dishwasher installed 6/25/08. The door had a dent, set up appt. for service call, they had to order a new door. Who would guess! Handle for door out of stock so a month later the door was delivered to my house. Had to call to schedule another service call, a week later the new door was installed. The new door looks great, but now the freezer is getting warmer. Call to see if service person could come back before the end of the day--no-- that repair call has been closed they can set up another appt. in a week. Also, one burner on the new range does not function properly the technician worked on it and it still does not work correctly. You guessed it another appt. is needed. In our area they want to schedule appt. from 8 to 5. Does GE think their customers have nothing to do but wait for their repair people?

While my family was stationed overseas, our home was rented. Our range was replaced with a Hotpoint Range by our renters. Since we have returned we have discovered that the range knobs have no lock on them. This makes it very easy for gas leaks. By washing the stove the knobs can move and if not noticed gas will leak. You can also just lean on the range to reach something in a cabinet above the range causing the same problem. The knobs move so easily that nearly anything can move them.

I recently purchased the dual fuel General Electric stove with a gas cook top and an electric oven. The oven is terrible. It takes approximately 30 minutes to reach the correct temperature and the recovery time is so slow after opening the oven that it is nearly impossible to bake cookies or layer cakes correctly.

Purchsaed a new home in 2004 which came with GE appliances. Electric range model JBP24B0H2CT tripped the 220 breaker while the right rear burner was in use. I went to reset the breaker and noticed a unique pastic/formica burning smell. I pulled the range back and found the metal shield that covers the terminal block which is the connections for the power cord was black and burnt in a small area. After removing the 5 screws that retain the cover the 3 wire junction block was melted and the red colored lead and terminal at the block was burnt beyond recognition.

Two nights ago I went to bed with my two small children and my husband. At about 11:30 PM, luckily, I went to my kitchen to get a drink, only to find my GE oven on, hot, even though ALL KNOBS WERE TURNED OFF. Had I not been thirsty at that time, who knows what may have happened....house on fire, children (ages 4 and 6) burned to death. I contacted aprox. 5-6 indiv. at consumer relations and either I was told that no warrenty=nothing they could do, or that they agree with me but=nothing they could do. I got this stove in 2002....no warranty left, but no expectation that a stove would stay on by itself while my family slept either.

I have a 5 year old GE electric smooth top range. I was baking and set the oven on 350 degrees. I was in a different part of the house, and when I cam back 10 minutes later, the oven was on self-clean and the bars I was baking were in flames.

When we remodeled our kitchen we installed all GE appliances. Our glass cooktop started needing repairs within three years after purchase. Repairmen told us the thermostats were faulty. A burner would be set on simmer when suddenly, without any warning, go into the highest heat setting. The only way to control the temperature would be to turn the burner completely off. It would either be on the highest heat setting or off, nothing in between. That means someone had to be watching the burners every second while cooking. Nothing could be put on simmer and left for any period of time, even one or two minutes.

I turned on the self cleaning feature on my GE oven. About 20 minutes later I heard a pop. Even my two kids said what was that? I went to the stove and saw that the inside glass in the oven had shattered into pieces.

My husband and I purchased a GE 30" Free Standing Electric Range (Model #: JBS56WLWW) from Home Depot on 02/09/07. We have had no noticable problems with the oven until today. My husband bought a box of steaks and has used the broiler for the 4th time within a week. He broiled his steak 7 minutes on the first side and 5 minutes on the second side. He turned the oven off and while sitting in the dining room eating his steak he heard a loud sound of glass shattering. He immediately went to see what happened and noticed the inside glass panel (not the outside panel) shattered on the oven. He had to use the shop vac to clean the glass up from the kitchen as well as the inside of the oven.

We Completely overhauled our kitchen about 4 years ago and unfortunately bought all G. E. appliances. Our stve oven which cost about double required 8service calls before G.E. would replace it. after about 2 1/2 years the back burner does not work. Fortunately we rare use it. Now a feew months the microwave does not work. We paid $400. for this microwave G.E JVM1870 and it breaks down evry year. I will never purchase anything named G.E. again. I would not brag about thier service iether.

This evening the inner glass on the oven door of my GE XL44 shattered and all of the pieces of glass were either on the floor or in the storage drawer. The exterior glass and interior glass remained intact. The oven was not on and had not been used the past 24 hours. Just reporting the problem so that others who have this model can be aware of problem.

We moved into our new Condo on 7-13-2005. All the appliances were new and all GE. In March of 2006 we were forced to buy a new washer because it would have cost more to fix than to buy a new one. We were not happy but we had always had GE Appliances and thought this was just bad luck so we moved on. In May of 2008 I started smelling gas, just a little and then It got worst and I called BGE Gas CO. They came out and turned the gas off because it was leaking and said we would need to get a service man out. When the service man came out the stove was leaking in four places and said it woild be cheaper to buy a new one.

Bought GE profile range late 1997- JGSP32GEV3BB - gas pressure regulator went out and I am told that GE no longer mfgs this $30 part #WB19K5020 (Maxitrol CV-47). I contacted GE, Sears and the company (Maxitrol) which mfg the part. I am told only GE can do an OEM - which is a special request for the part to be built and they won't do it for just one part.

one year after purchasing GE glass top range, i decided to buy 1-yr maint. contract for the next several years. i've had to call for serivce 3 times.

One morning while sitting on couch I heard a loud bang. When I went to check it out I found shards of glass on the floor in front of our GE (garbage electric) range. I opened the oven door and all of the glass which was shattered landed on the floor. I contacted GE and was told that it was out of warranty and would cost $100 for a service call plus parts. I don't think I should have to pay for something like this when the range is less than 2 years old.

The pilot light keeps going out in the oven. I called once befor the Warranty was up(one Year) and someone came out and he costed me $80.00 for mileage. Will the man had a hard time. I don't think he new much, any way he ended up ordering a part and showed me how to put it in so I wouldn't have to pay another $80.00 to come out. I got the part and it was the wrong part. I had surgery on my toe, but I got down and cleaned out where the pilot was and got it to run for about maybe 8 months, but its wasn't working right. I let my warranty go cause I would get a new stove. Then I got to thinking the stove is almost three years old.

Last April 07 we bought GE Monogram side by side fridge, 48 dual fuel range, compactor and dishwasher for our new home. The appliances were installed Sep 07. The griddle on the range won't turn on after repeated attempts then suddenly it will. The fridge makes a snapping sound from the over head compartment - about every 3 minutes. The compactor died. The repairman couldn't find a problem on the griddle the first 2 calls, but now he has ordered a new control knob. He is also ordering a new motor for the compactor. The fridge has not been addressed yet.

My husband and I left for the day and when we came home that evening, our house smelled like something rotten or dead.... we could not figure out where the smell was coming from. After searching everywhere for rotting food, or a dead mouse, etc... we discovered that the knob on our gas range was turned on slightly, and the smell was gas!!!!! This was obviously on all day long. I have 5 pets who live inside that could have been killed....this is extremely dangerous. I'm now trying to find child safety devices to put on the knobs so this doesn't happen again, and I don't even have children!!! I WANT A NEW STOVE....AND IT WON'T BE A GE!!

My Ge gas stove (Model#JGSP28 CEK2CC) has the coating on the grates on top of the stove peeling off. This stove is only 2 years old and has only been used for 6 months. (We are snowbirds in Florida and are here only for 3 to 4 months a year.) We called GE customer relations, and they will not cover this . They said the warranty has expired. I have noticed other people have complained about this problem. There should be a recall on these grates. They should last a long time without peeling. The technician said it would cost $123.00 to get a new grate.I refused to pay this. This is crazy. GE products are terrible--don't buy!

I purchased a JBS56W L3WW Electric Range in Home Depot. On May 19, 2007, $400.00 dollars, 9 months of use and its start to rust in the bottom corner of the control panel, the paint starts to popped out. We call to Service Department and they wants to charge me $70 dollars to dispatch a technician to evaluate the problem in my home. The day after I call Consumer Relation of GE and they said to me this is a cosmetic problem, and it's not included in the warranty, the product has a warranty of 30 days for cosmetic problems. If this happens in a new appliance just imagine in the next 3 years of normal use. Like the GE Consumer relations said to me, unfortunately we can't do anything for you with this problem. My recommendation is not to buy a GE product in the future.

In my Moble Suites RV, I have a GE Profile Convection Oven Model JVM1490BH. The unit is 3 years old. Recently, the interior light burned-out. The light is not owner replaceable. This, of course, means you have to use GE Repair Service ($74.95 + parts + labor) or other appliance service company to replace a simple light bulb. On other web sites, there are posts in which owners of such units have had to replace as many as 3 bulbs in 2 years. Why would a once-reputable company (GE) design such flawed appliance in which the owner cannot replace something as simple as a light bulb? My loudly and often spoken motto: NO MORE GE FOR ME!

I bought a GE gas range in Nov. 2007. To date I have had the burner covers replaced, the drip pans replaced and a repairman to put the gasket back between the oven and the oven door. I now must call a repairman again since the gasket fell out again. Have talked to GE twice and Emailed them 3 times. They do not care that the parts of the stove are falling apart. The service people I spoke with were rude and unpleasant. I have also had trouble with their GEmoneyline service, but thats another story.

Middle of the day approaching my GE HOTPOINT RANGE the glass spontaneously exploded. No explanation. It seems to be a pattern with this appliance. Seen it on many sites including this one, but not recall was ever ordered.

We have a GE electric convection oven that has been repaired 2X and is still not working properly - the oven turns it self on, will not accept commands and as a result is quite frightening. It has been disconnected for over 2 years since the repair man cannot fix it and GE only offers $75 towards a replacement. That is ridiculous since a new one costs over $800. This oven has less than 20 hours TOTAL use!

We had problems with our down draft vent on our range last year. GE Service replaced initially, then 4 to 5 more times after that since the initial problem was never fixed - vent would stop after an hour and smelled like burning. In January 2008, the technical informed us there is nothing more they can do and we needed to contact GE Consumer Relations. GE Consumer Relations informed us we can get the complete range and vent replaced at a pro-rated cost of $380 including installation and removal of the old one. We agreed.

Purchased my GE electric range on 12/27/06 as part of a kitchen renovation. I use the oven maybe twice a week at most. On 2/8/08 I turned on the broiler and in less than a minute, I heard this loud noise that actually sounded like something was stuck in the disposal. I looked at the oven and saw smoke coming out. I opened the oven door and serious sparks and fire came shooting out. The heating element had exploded and was on fire.

I just bught a GE gas range and a GE over the range microwave oven. The problem I have is when you reach over the gas range to use microwave, you wind up turning on gas on range without knowing it. I had these units less then 2 weeks, and it happened 3 times.The first time it happened, I figure out the problem; and even though my family knows about this, we still did it 2 more times with out realizing it. You don't know until you smell gas 10 to 15 minutes later. This is a big safety problem.

January 26th at around 6PM, I fixed a baked potato in my General Electric oven. When I left the kitchen, I heard a loud shattering sound and ran back into the kitchen to discover that the black glass panel on the front of my over had spontaneously exploded. I cleaned up the oven door glass and there were shards and pieces some 8-12 inches long. It wasn't until the following morning that I took a picture of the oven door and the model numbers. I could have been seriously injured ! I now need to replace my oven, but find that GE/Kenmore is the only one that makes an oven to fit the space in my mobil home, so, I guess this could happen again, and I might not be so lucky!

On 01/20/08 I was cooking some snacks for the game. A minute or two later I heard a loud pop. To our surprise, the inner glass on the oven exploded.

We bought a GE stove from Sears 2-3 years ago. I just noticed tonight that the oven took a very long time to preheat to 375 degrees. I thought this was odd, but never in a million years did I suspect an oven malfunction. However, when my cookies turned out half-baked and wouldn't brown properly, I noticed that the wire circuitry at the bottom of the oven had broken into three sections. Some of the pieces of wiring had fallen onto the floor of the oven and the wire bracket that is supposed to hold that section of wiring had upended and was lying on its side. I have never seen anything so bizarre with nothing to cause it other than ordinary cooking. I am lucky there was not a fire in the oven as the inner oven door is blackened at the area where the wiring broke open.

I just used self cleaning access on my stove to clean the oven and when it finished its cycle, the glass in the oven door shattered. I just purchased it on 7/30/06. THIS COULD HAVE CAUGHT MY NEW HOME ON FIRE.

After Christmas dinner I decided to clean my oven, so I hit the self cleaning mode. After 2 hours of cleaning a F2 was flashing and beeping. I found the manual and it told me to kill the power for 30 seconds. I did as instructed, the beeping went away but the F2 kept flahing. After 2 hours the F2 stopped flashing but the oven door wouldn't open. I again went back to the owners manual and hit the reset button nothing happened.

I have a GE JTP28 Double electric wall oven. It has glass-like door fronts, along with glass view windows. The unit was installed 10/5/2007. 12/23/2007, the innermost pane of glass on upper oven shattered while oven was in operation with food cooking. The door was not in motion at the time, last actuation was approximately 5 minutes prior. Repair visit #1 was 12/28, and new glass had to be ordered. Installation was to be on 1/4, but was cancelled as new glass had shattered in shipping. Now pending installation on 1/7. Tonight (1/6/2008) same phenomenon happened on lower oven door. Dinner baking, door had not been touched for 15 minutes, and POP! Inner pane of glass had shattered.

Currently, GE customer service is not open so we will call a repair person in the morning. From what I have read by other GE consumers, it seems that GE is not very motivated to fix the problem.

I purchased a GE Profile gas stove in March 2006. New Year's Eve I decided to clean my oven in preparation for my roast pork dinner for family and friends on New Year's Day. To my surprise when the self cleaning was complete the door would not unlock. It was well past the 2 hour timeframe and felt cool to the touch. I had my husband unplug it thinking it would reset it but nothing happened. I have a service contract on this due to the computer motherboard that runs it. I called GE at 5 p.m. on New Years Eve, explained my situation and was politely told that the first available appointment would be Jan. 14th between 8am and 4 pm. When I again stated that I could not use the oven on my $1600.00 stove and asked politely for faster service I was told that if someone cancelled I would be called. I let it sit until today, when I called again and insisted that I get an appointment before the 14th. I have children and we do not live on take out or microwave food. I use my oven everyday. Again, I was politely told I would receive a phone call within an hour. That would have been around 3pm. It is now 9pm and still no call. I would suggest that anyone who is considering buying a GE product to go to another company. Too expensive and do not last. I also have the GE Profile refrigde that was just as expensive. The icemaker hasn't worked since day one. The freezer handle has broken off three times and the bins holders are made of plastic which break off. Stay away from GE products.

We purchased a GE Profile Gas range with four burners and a center grill in 2001. It has worked fine but the grill is a terrible hazard. The switch in front of the range for the grill will go on if lightly touched. So if you are in front cooking and move past the knob it will turn on. Or while cleaning. Since the grill is covered with a stainless steel cover when not in use, one doesnt see the grill is on but the cover heats up to a dangerously high temperature that causes burns if you come into contact with it. SInce it isn't supposed to be hot, someone not aware of this problem can be seriuosly burned. We've reported this to GE but never got a response. We just have to constantly check to be sure that knob is turned to off. I won't purchase a GE product again. Dangerous and unresponsive.

We have a GE XL44 gas stove. We have used it for 4 months of the year for the last 10 years as we winter in Florida for 4 months of the year. So actually the range has only four years of usage on it. Now we are unable to light the burners automatically because of faulty igniters and are forced to light the burners with a hand held butane lighter. The GE Service man was here this morning and said the igniters need to be replaced at a cost of $267.00. Needless to say, we are replacing our stove, and it won't be a GE.

I was cooking dinner. The oven was only at 355 degrees and only on for about 30 minutes when all of a sudden I heard an explosion. The inner glass door had exploded; there were small parts of glass all over the inside of the oven.

My GE double oven had a heating coil that exploded during use. A fire ignited and the oven failed to cut the circuit breaker. My husband turned off the power at the breaker box and the fire eventually burned itself out.

We bought this GE range new in Nov/Dec '05. Within 6 months the oven quit working. A part was sent by GE, and service installed it. Then Christmas Day 2006 the oven did not work. The same part was not working again. Ge finally did send another part and service to fix it. Now Nov. 20, 2007 again the very same part is not working. No oven for Thanksgiving!

I was cooking spaghetti last night, when I walked across the kitchen away from the 5 burner GE cooktop (Model JGP636WEV) when I heard a large exploding sound. I turned around and ducked as thousands of shards of gas flew all over the kitchen. The cooktop exploded!

I purchased a GE Adora gas range from Home Depot for $1100, and had it installed sometime in late January or Feb. 07.

We have owned our GE Profile electric range for about 4 years with no previous problems.On 10/07/2007, I used the oven to broil steaks and as I placed the oven door down to remove the steaks, I watched in amazement as the inner glass panel formed a crack from the center to the edge of the frame window. Today, I spoke with the GE Repair center via a toll free number and learned that they would have the locally contracted repair company come out on Thursday and the repair would cost about $200.

We bought a GE XL44 gas range model No. EGr2000EC1CC in 2000. While the stove has worked fine, we have had nothing but problems with the oven. It heats up fine and then rumbles and hisses when the burner re-ignites to maintain temperature. We have had repairmen from the gas company, GE and independent appliance repair men. All they have succeeded in is further lightening my wallet! Most recently, we had to pay $110 to a GE repairman who did nothing but open a damper up on the burner. He left and the problem continued. Another technician came today to install a new flex connection to the range - another $80 later and the same problem persists!

All our GE appliances have had problems. We moved into a new house with all new GE appliances. The latest problem is with the GE Cook Top. One of the burners was not functioning and GE was called to fix it. It took 2 weeks to have the parts ordered and the GE technician to come out to fix the problem. An hour after he left, the cook top exploded with smoke and sparks and triggering the breaker switch. When GE was called about the problem and that a GE technician had just left after he supposedly fixed the problem they did not care and schedualed an appointment a week later. Now we have no functioning cook top and probably no thanksgiving dinner. GE service and their appliances are awful.

A General Electric stove ( Model # JGBP88BEL1BB, serial # RL257703P)purchased on 9/20/2006 poses a burn hazard. The top, left and right, gas burner grates are very slippery and any pot or pan place on said grate can easily slip off. It is necessary to hold said pot or pan with one hand while stirring with the other. This, at times, is impractical and may cause injury due to the high gloss of said burners.

I had an F7 error blinking on my double oven. I found out that all of my neighbors who purchased houses in the same tract were having the exact same problem. I called GE Consumer relations and recieved no information or help with the issue. I was just told to write a letter to the company. So, I called back (and waited on hold for another 30 minutes). This time I recieved a free service call to diagnose the problem, but I still have to pay for the parts and repair. The Control panel and circuit board went bad and the parts and labor will cost me 175 dollars. It just seems that GE should have to pay if everyone is having the same problem on their 4 year old ovens.

We purchased a JK955BJBB - Black Double Wall Oven with Convection on top on May 31, 2006 from Home Depot. On September 6, 2006, a little over 2 months after installed, the convection door shattered. I was preheating the oven at 450 F Degrees (which converts to 425 F Degrees) Automatic Convection setting. I heard a loud exploding sound and looked at the oven to see that the interior oven door had shattered. All that was in the oven were two racks. There should be no reason, whatsoever, that the convection oven glass door should shatter. I immediately turned the oven off and backed away. Soon after, I called the 800-GE-CARES (800.432.2737) number on the Owner's Manual.

I had a similar experience that Kim from Ohio had with a GE Spacemaker oven door handle. Mine has broken off 3 times in 5 years. The first two times GE sent me new handles free of charge but I had to pay the labor to have them put on. After the 3rd time they are sending me a new door since the old handle holes are stripped. OF course they will not pay for the labor so I will try to find the least expensive quote I can get. They encourage to use GE service reps who charge double what my local service co. charges, so I will not take their advice. I am also convinced that there is a design flaw in this handle, it should not snap off so easily. I will not be replacing this oven with another GE product.

Purchased GE Range on 8/9/06. It was delivered on 8/17/06. Model number was J BP6550K3SS. First time use of the oven on 8/18/06, the inner glass door made a loud noise and shattered all over the food. The dealer HHGregg, out of Greenville, SC brought an identical unit on 8/22/06. On 8/24/06, my wife preheated the oven for the first time to cook some muffins and just before she put the muffins in there was a loud noise and the inside glass had shattered again.

The glass on the door of my GE electric range shattered when I turned it on to preheat.

I purchased 3 GE Profile appliances (Stove - Refridge - dishwasher) and mailed in the rebate 01/29/06. I was to receive a $200 rebate. I have written letters - no answer and still no rebate!!

I purchased a GE Profile Trivecta model #JS998SHSSS oven new in March of 2006. Since then, I have had the GE Service Tech out 5 times for the same problem. I am getting a FO error code on the display panal and the only way to keep the ovens alram from going off is to shut it off at the main breaker switch. They have replaced the main touch panal twice, the main electronic (mother board), an additional control panal, and an electric whip connection. All with different appointments. Last visit was on July 26th 2006 and with in two hours of the repair, it is doing it again.

Recently our GE JKP14 oven started flashing error code "F1". I called GE service and they do not make the controller board any more. They still sell screws, heating elements, glass doors, front panels, and keypads but no more electronic range control modules. GE offered no help. I will NEVER buy another GE product. I've been ripped off by a big name that supposedly stands behind their products...so much for their good name.

My GE stove went on fire , defective wiring to the circut board. Model JBP64BB4AD. Stove is 4 yrs old.

From the start, this stove has posed a hazard. It was not so obvious at first as I was only cooking for my son and myself. However, I later began cooking for several members of the family and keeping my grandchildren. The problem with this stove is the grate system. The stove has a glass top and round grates that will not stay in place.

I purchased the Ge Profile Convection Range in October 2005.

Our GE Monogram oven had a recall on Dec. 15. We were contacted and told not to use a burner and the griddle until repair scheculed Jan 3. This meant we could not use the griddle through the holidays on our 6 month old 48" GE oven. The repair was cancelled by the service a few days before the 3nd of Jan. and we were told to call another number.

I have a GE Profile Double Oven Model #JTP56WOD1WW with a convection on top and regular oven on the bottom. So, far I have had two repairs and have a third pending. The first time the top coil exploded when the oven was put on broil with nothing in it and the oven caught on fire. The second time the oven would turn itself on and off continuously until it flashed F7 and the whole thing shut down. That repair was in November and was $240.

I purchased a home with GE appliances. The refrigerator compressor went out after 5 years. I had a GE mongram service warranty but they refused to come any sooner than a full week. In addition, they refused to bring a replacement compressor in order to fix the problem diagnosed by a non-certified GE service provider. Since they would only come on Friday between 1-5 pm, you can be certain that I would likely go another week or more before the repair. Meanwhile, of course, you can see the problem with a non-cooling refrigerator/freezer. I will never buy GE again, and I encourage others to disregard their service promises.

We've had a GE Spacemaker XL Over-Range Microwave Oven for a little more than 3 years.

We bought my parents a GE Range (Model #JBP35BOH1CT) and the stove top gets so hot while baking in the oven you cannot touch it!

The Maytag stove I purchased is not even a year old, and it's a good thing I bought the extended warranty.

2 years ago I bought a GE profile stove with convection oven. It didn't work properly out of the box!

We bought a GE Range #JBP80 and while cooking the Thanksgiving turkey, the upper heating unit (broiler) came on. When the oven reached over 500 degrees the range started beeping. The turkey was on fire. We unplugged the stove as the manuel states to restart the electronics. We left it unplugged over nite.

Two of the appliances I purchased from GE in 1999 were a Microwave over model # JVM1440AA1 and a gas range model # JGBP30AEAIAA.

Control panel touch-pad on GE oven failed after using only twice.

We purchased a non-self cleaning oven manufactured by GE.

On November 26, 2003 I bought a replacement oven for my old GE double built in oven which had, since 1968, finally deteriorated to the point where I could no longer repair it due to unavailability of parts.

3 year old GE wall oven stopped working. I have been trying for 9 weeks to get it serviced. I wrote to the General manager of Consumer Relations 2 weeks ago, with no answer.
