GE Air Conditioners Reviews

Last week, I purchased a GE AWGH08WWF1 Model number. Serial Number TZ084006Z. This is a heat/cool window unit. I live in a very small house with insulated wall, attic and crawlspace. However, the house does not have any heat. This unit does NOT NOT NOT put out any heat. I have contacted GE. They offered for me to return the unit and they would provide me with a certificate to purchase a new one. THIS IS NO GOOD. Why would I purchase a new unit that will NOT PUT OUT HEAT. I would be returning one bad unit for another bad unit. They will NOT send out someone for this unit to check it. Nor can they help me with the 3 year warranty I paid for. I will NEVER purchase anything from GE again. What they advertised is NOT correct. This unit stays on 24/7 and does not put out any heat. DO NOT BUY this unit!! $489 from Lowe's.

I would never ever buy another GE product again. I purchased my AC in July 2023. And this year July 2024 the AC started to give me issues. The AC only goes in the window when it summertime. It come back out when it’s not. AC was in the AC was in the window for a month. Filters were cleaned and all of a sudden all this water came inside my apartment from the AC. Contacted GE and they gave me the runaround. I have severe asthma and other severe medical conditions also. I would never buy another GE PRODUCT and I repeat another GE product.

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the companies resolution. Even though the product was out of the warranty period they sent me a refund for half the cost of the AC.

I just purchased a G E window air conditioner at Home Depot. 12 Miles round trip. Got home. Took air conditioner to second floor. Then assembled and went to plug in and noticed the ground plug was broken. I looked at the engineering how the ground plug was assembled and it looks like defective engineering. I would expect a lot better Quality -- Quality control from a company like G E. Now I have to package the air conditioner back up and waste gas and a half day going back to home Depot. What a hassle. What a bad experience. This sucks. It is 11:00. Home Depot is closed so I will have to sweat it out tonight on this 95 degree night.

I recently purchased 2 of the inverter smart view units, an 8000 btu unit for my bedroom and a 10000 unit for my living room. The units look nice and my goal was to not lose a lot of my view and the advertised quietness of these units. The first one I received had to be returned as the control panel was not communicating properly with the components. Despite the red flag I waited for a replacement. In the meantime I installed the second unit in my bedroom. I like how the unit is energy efficient and looks much better than the old larger units. When the fan is on low I can feel the air circulate around the entire room. But, it rattles and vibrates constantly at different levels and variables so my best bet is to run it on high and chill the room then, shut if off when I want to go to sleep. Not happy about that process.

I used Aire Serv last year to install two mini split systems. They have been a lifesaver for a room that I can never keep at the right temperature. I recently decided to make an adjustment to one of them.

Everyone at the office was personable and helpful, They show me varieties ac, They maintained consistent professionalism and polite communication throughout the process... Thank you for suggesting the right product.

The operators are very helpful over the phone for support. As it was, it was a pleasure to have the installation team in and around our home and they left us with a working system and no mess. Also our thanks to the office team who made the survey,.

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.

I've owned this GE smart air conditioner for maybe a month. Today the filter light was on. Soni took it out and rinsed it then put it back in. Light went out. Then 2hrs later it's all iced up. I had to turn it off because it was not cooling for one and it was making such loud noise I was afraid it was about to just blow up. This air conditioner was $400! I've had it a month! Now I gotta haul it out of the window and back down 2 flights of stairs and hope I can get it into my car. This this barely a month old wth????

I thought I was buying a better quality unit by going with a GE model. I am very disappointed in this product and the warranty. The unit simply will not turn on and work at all after only a month of use. When it did work, it worked well. All of a sudden it stopped working. Tried everything to remedy. Reset the plug, cleaned the filter which was not even dirty, did not run long enough to accumulate. Keyboard pad lit up completely every light was on. Then it just died. Will not turn on. So now trying to use the 1 year warranty it supposedly came with. Impossible!

Bought a General Electric window unit air conditioner (Model GE Air conditioner AER05LX L1) at the end of last summer when one of my old units conked out. As it was at the end of season and we had a cool snap, I waited on installing it until this year. After installing it (and two other units by a different manufacturer) it worked fine. Then we had a couple days of rain and lower temp where the unit was turned off. After the rain and when temp started to rise, I turned it back on only to have it literally spewing water out the unit into the room from the fan compartment. I removed the plate over the optional 'max drain' hole. Some water drained out. I turned the unit on again, and it still spewed water into the room. I'm talking needing a bath towel to sop it all up with.

We bought a GE window air conditioner at Lowe’s a little over a month ago. It is properly installed, yet within less than an hour or so of being turned on begins to make loud crackling sounds as it fills with ice. Then after a couple of hours it begins shooting out the ice onto my furniture, and I need to shut it off and wait for it to defrost. This morning while lying in bed I was hit on my chest by a piece of ice it shot from across the room. I called GE and spoke with someone (Aden?) who told me that the air conditioner is only made to be turned on for a few hours, not overnight! WTH???! I will NEVER buy a GE air conditioner again!!!!

I bought a GE GE AEZ12AVL2 AIR CONDITIONER not 2 years ago and it already quit. It worked for less than one summer and it kind of seemed as if it was not cooling well near the end of the season. I turned it on this year and if wont even cool. Now I find out they stopped making them. I understand why. Because they have some kind of defect. It wasn't even used a year. GE used to make long look lasting, dependable products. What happened? Stop selling things that don't work when you know they are defective. That's what's ruining your brand name. Just like these other importers. Don't just try to clear them out and stick the customer while you unload your garbage when you know it has a manufacturing defect. We wont come back when you shaft us.

I bought a 18000 btu/hr yesterday. After installing, found out it was not cooling and had very little airflow. So now I get to package it back up and take back to the store. I will never purchase any GE products again. Piece of junk. Buyer beware.

My unit is so loud while in cooling mode! Yet the unit is very cold. The unit is crazy noisy! I've called GE giving a service company. They say they are too busy. Told GE and now I'm being told I need to find service company!!! Let me say I'm not very happy! Sincerely Navy veteran

Bought a 10,000 BTU air conditioner 2 years ago. Within the first year it done about 5,000 dollars worth damage to the floors and walls around it. Called GE and they told me I had to call a repairman to say that the air conditioner done it. They said th mooey don't work on them. Nobody does. This is the biggest piece of junk I have and I have 5. I will never buy GE anything ever again. Save your money.

This is the 2nd General Electric air conditioner I’ve bought. This one was the replacement one I bought with a measly $100 goodwill rebate. Both a/c have broke down in the 2nd summer. After reading other reviews I know that it just didn’t randomly pick 2 lemons. Spend a little more money and go with a different brand. I’ll never buy anything from “GENERIC GENERAL ELECTRIC” again! I hope you take my word on this or be ready for some hot air sooner than you think.

I purchased a GE window unit last summer. It was supposed to cool off up to 1100 sq ft. It didn’t even cool off 200 sq ft. I’m addition, it was a waste of the $50 I paid to have it put together and installed. Just two days ago I purchased a 6,000 BTU unit for a small room. It did nothing. Returned it for an 8,000 BTU. The room was so warm when I walked in after an hour that it felt as if the heat was on. Now, I have to once again remove the unit from the window, drag it downstairs, and back to the store. I will NEVER purchase another GE appliance.

After the first time turning it on, there was an immediate loud, rattling noise that came out of it and it shook the whole window. We tried it one more time, hoping that we could figure it out. When we tried it, we realized that the fan inside of it was broke/unhinged from its proper location. This is a disappointing A/C that we are going to have to go through the hassle of returning.

GE 14000-BTU window air conditioner - When it got installed in my window, the next morning when I turned it on, it blew my breaker. Even though my wattage is as it requires, this happened two days in a row. I had to hire someone to up my ampage 5 watts. Still, so it won't make my lights flicker, I unplug most things in my place, and turn it on on low and energy saver and slowly plug things in and turn things on. Even then, when the compressor comes on and surges, the lights sometime flicker. Very nerve racking to deal with all day.
