GE Air Conditioners

I've always bought GE ACs, and had money to get the 10000 btu this time. No it hasn't been this hot, for this long, in a very long time. BUT we have had 100 plus degree weather before and never had an issue with the smaller btu ones. This 10000 btu has shut itself down more times than I can count. It's disappointing that this is what it's meant to be used for, to cool down in summer, and it can't even do that. I went with Frigidaire for my bedroom (other one is in kitchen around same size as bedroom) and it's an 8000 btu and still going strong, even in this heat. What has happened to GE? It used to be my absolute number one to go to..

Bought the unit last summer and stored it during the winter. This year used the unit for only a month. It was used mostly late afternoon and evening. The blower/fan motor started making noises. It got too loud to have on during hot humid nights in the bedroom. Within 2 weeks the blower motor froze and the unit stopped working completely. Of course it is past the year warranty and this is the second unit that has done this. GE replaced the first unit and now the second unit is also done.

I have bought 2 air GE air conditioners from Walmart in the last several years. The First One I bought cost over 400 dollars and it was barely used because the time I bought it wasn't in season. It went out right after the warranty did, They wouldn't fix it.. I sold it for scrap iron. Not thinking, Last year I bought an 8000 BTU. It worked decently at first but gradually I noticed that the compressor seemed to kick off and on a lot. I used it this Spring in May, It quit working entirely June 16th, It was delivered on May 5th of last year but wasn't used much until this year. It was one month out of warranty and they would not replace or fix it.. GE used to make the best products. They sold to China, now they make Cheap junk from Walmart just like the rest.. Sad

I would like everyone to know that GE appliances are not any good. They do not stand by their warranty. I bought a new GE air conditioner at Lowe's. It run good for about two weeks then it quit. The GE co will not do nothing. They won't make it up so buyers beware. Another family member has bought three AC units. All have torn up within 4 to 6 weeks. I will never purchase nothing GE sells.

I purchased a GE Model ACH14AZW1 window a/c unit in 8/2020. We only have need of a/c maybe 8-10 times per year. The first season I used it maybe 8 times. It worked very well. I removed it from the window for the winter/spring and brought it back out in July 2021. It still looks brand new. I used it 2 times and the 3rd time of turning it on, it is beeping, blinking, and will not stay on for more than a few seconds. I went through the steps recommended to clean the filter (which was not really dirty) and to unplug for a few minutes.

I recently purchased an air conditioner/heater window unit for a room that I added onto my house. When the unit was installed, I turned the heat on and noticed that there was no heat coming out. I had someone to come look at the unit to make sure I had the settings right and he informed me that it was right but the unit wasn't blowing out heat. Take into consideration that I had the unit temperature setting to 86 degrees.

Bought the unit on May 1st 2020 and had to return it on May 6th 2020 because it stopped working. The replacement unit was the same make and model and it worked 4 and a half months before it stopped working. Trying to get warranty service has been extremely difficult and frustrating. Page 17 of the user manual says that a postage paid box will be provided to return the defective unit and a new unit or refund will be provided. But when I FINALLY was able to get a customer support person on the phone I was told that I would have to purchase another unit, send them the receipt and then they would reimburse me with a check that was going to take 6 to 8 weeks before I would receive it. The next day I tried again to get in touch with customer support and was placed on hold. After about 15 minutes the automated system gave me an option to be called back which did not happen until the next day.

We are now in the process of returning our THIRD GE window unit in less than 2 months. All with the same exact problem. The compressor won't kick on and the display panel doesn't work. The unit thinks someone is constantly pushing the up button so it keeps setting itself to 86 degrees. ALL 3 Units have done this. This is no coincidence. GE just makes terrible window units. The first 2 were smaller 115 volts and the 3rd was a bigger 230 volt. Size, voltage, and cost obviously don't matter. And even if we opted to have the motherboard replaced to fix the problem, we couldn't because they are made in China and are all on backorder. Do Not waste your time or money with a GE window unit. We will be going with a different brand this time.

Bought GE air conditioner for my bedroom. Only Used it 4 months (June- Sept 2019) and didn’t use again until this June. After 2 weeks started making crazy noise and freezing up. Also shooting water out front. 2 days past warranty. Had to purchase another and it sure wasn’t a GE.

Worst period, window 8lb mauls. ac period. I have seen. Red filter light is on blinking, not way to reset, even after cleaning filter, WiFi connectivity isn't there- button will not light up nor is there any indication on Wifi that its is emitting. Temp controls are way off. If set for 78, temps range from 67-85. Can't uninstall it as I am disabled now. Am tempted to unbolt it, drop to outside and hold a media event, with 8lb mauls.
