    I purchased a GE Profile fridge in 2010 and have only had problems with it since first day. The first year, while on warranty, I had a repairman at least 5 times to check problems with the water dispenser and the loud motor. I still have problems with this. Now the seals on the doors are torn and the doors do not close properly and mold forms on the seals. The freezer door also does not close properly, we have to press hard on it so that it seals. Absolutely hate this fridge, would not recommend to anyone.

    GE Profile PFS22MBSBBB - This refrigerator is a piece of garbage. I bought it in July 2006 and the plastic things that keep the door closed broke almost immediately. To repair requires an entire insulation (rubber) gasket. It was under warranty and the second one broke just 2 weeks before the extended warranty expired. Cost to repair each would have been $300.00 each. I too have the problem of the freezer/refrigerator heating up and everything defrosting. Called repair once when it happened and while he was checking it out, it came on. He put it back together and left. It still does the heat and defrost at will.

    Wrote to GE. They offered $250.00 toward a new GE refrigerator and would pick up the old one. Haha, would you buy another GE? It was recalled for excessive noise and they repaired that. I believe it was the defrost motor. Well---it's back. I'm now shopping for another refrigerator and hope I can find someone that will give me a few bucks for the one I have. After all it does work. Oh also the drawer tracks have also broken. I'm not fixing.

    My expensive GE monogram refrigerator went out in Labor Day weekend. GE did not get anyone to come out for 2 weeks to repair. When the repair people came, they needed to order parts and were unable to fix that day. Then they were unable to repair any sooner than today, October 28th. Now that the repair people are at my house they tell me they are not sure whether or not it will be fixed today. This is absurd. I paid more than $6,000 for this refrigerator and this is the second time I have had to repair. Their unresponsiveness is horrific. Why should I have to wait this long? I ended up having to buy a spare refrigerator that I paid $1,100. GE says they are sending me a check for $150 for my inconvenience. This is absurd and I will never purchase another GE product. The worst part is that I have no recourse and are at their mercy for repair. I am ready to go and buy another product that is not GE.

    We bought 4 GE appliances for our new home for a first time we get GE products, this will be the last time. After 5 months the refrigerator freezes the vegetables and the rest of the refrigerator is warm and making a loud noise. We called the place where we bought the appliances and they give us the number to call for repair. We called twice before they even consider sending a person. We wait for 10 days before he show up. Person was not helpful at all, we need to wait at least two more weeks and we don't have a refrigerator. We are sick seniors citizens with needs of our food and medicines that we keep in the refrigerator. They don't care we lost all the food and we are going out to eat because we can't keep things inside the refrigerator.

    Purchased GE Model GFSS6KEXCSS January 2010 from Brandsmart. Was happy with this product until Oct. 13, 2014 when my refrigerator starting making a loud noise. The noise stopped when I opened the door. I called GE service and describe the problem and was given an appointment for Oct 15th. Repairman came out, spent about 10 minutes and said we have to order an evaporating fan unit. Was given a price of $350.00 plus $89.95 for estimate to diagnose problem. I had to pay the $89.95 plus $50 towards the part.

    OK, part is ordered and will be delivered to my home. Have an appointment to replace part on Oct. 21. Repairman shows up and barely gets out of his truck and ask is my refrigerator defrosted? I said what? He then replied with "I can't do anything unless unit is defrosted." I was angry. I told him I was not informed to defrost refrigerator. He did come inside and look at the unit, pulled out drawer and said, "I need another part. The part that was delivered will not work fully, I need a heat prob." By this time I ask him to get customer service on the phone because I am really upset. If this is the problem why was I not told on the first visit.

    Well to further upset me, while I was talking to a GE customer service rep, the repairmen left. How unprofessional is this. Customer relations only offered me 25% off and 6 month warranty. REALLY? Rescheduled for Oct 25th morning. Today Oct 22 at 8:15 a GE dispatch person informed me they were over booked and could not get to me until sometime that afternoon. He was rude and very unpleasant so I was rude back. I called GE customer relations again, no big help there. GE has $140.00 of my money and I still have a refrigerator not properly working. Not to mention I have to unplug my frig 24 hours to defrost and either lose over $500 worth of frozen meats or find someone to store my food. GE gave me their legal department to file a claim for food loss. RIGHT? I am at their mercy so hopefully everything will work out on Saturday. My personal opinion is GE is too big to care. I will not be purchasing any other GE products and suggest you look at other products and their service before purchasing.

    Purchased an expensive GE Cafe CFCP1NIZESS bottom fridge from a local company. In the last year have phoned the dealer several times and was told that to turn up the temperature because fresh fruit and veggies were freezing. When my eggs froze I got angry and phoned the dealer and said the fridge wasn't working. I am not sure what the temperature really is set at because the gauge is in Fahrenheit, I think that in Canada degrees Celsius should be required as most of us don't want to do the conversion and have been raised with Celsius. Today I waited on the phone for over an hour to GE and was told to contact repair person. They would start a file, but it would be over 3 weeks before someone would contact me. It is now going to cost me over a 100.00 dollars just to see what is wrong. GE has no contact via internet where you could express concerns over a product.

    We purchased a new stainless GE Profile refrigerator in 2011. Within one year, it stopped cooling, we lost all of our food, called the store where it was purchased (along with a range, microwave and dishwasher), and when the repairman came out, he said that the motherboard had gone out and would have to be replaced. We received a "loaner" which was connected in our garage. We waited over a week, repairman came back out, replaced the part and realized that was not the problem. We honestly don't know what all was replaced on the refrigerator, but we were without our refrigerator off and on for several months. We finally bought another one when we were told that the repairman was "stumped" and could not make it work for more than a couple of days. We lost hundreds of dollars worth of food each time it went out. We relied more on an old refrigerator that we keep in the garage than we could the $2,000 one that we had in our home. We were told that when they figured out what was wrong and could sale the old refrigerator, we would be reimbursed for what they sold it for.

    We have now spent over $4,000 on GE refrigerators and feel that the company should have done something in the very beginning instead of allowing us to suffer through it continually breaking down. We are convinced that it was a "lemon" but after reading all of the negative comments about GE appliances, we are also convinced that we chose the wrong brand for our new kitchen. We saved for a very long time to be able to buy all new, matching appliances for our home and are very disappointed in the quality of the refrigerator. We are very happy with the range, microwave and the dishwasher. When it came time for a new washer and dryer, we purchased another brand because of the experience we have had with GE. We don't know if this will do a bit of good, but we are disappointed in a large company and the guarantee that did not work out the way it was presented to us when we spent all of the money in the first place. My husband is a high school teacher and we saved for years to remodel our kitchen and buy new appliances. We are looking into using our pre-paid legal to at least bring attention to the bad quality of a name brand appliance.

We have spoken with Home Depot management, sales agents, GE service, and had the delivery (set-up) drivers return to look.

    Bought a Profile GE French Door refrigerator in 2006, model PFS22MBSBW. Within the first two years had "two doors" replaced, luckily under warranty, as you cannot open the left door first or open both doors at the same time, the plastic clip breaks, never informed of this faulty design. Since then on March 2014, the right door plastic clip broke, paid for this door with a discount from GE. Then in August 2014 the clip broke again, it was replaced by GE, had to have this installed myself.

    Last year August 2013, the left door plastic clip broke. Had to pay for this door also and have installed. However, a few weeks, ago the clip broke again. Left door was informed that it was not under warranty and GE is sending me the gasket piece with the clip to have installed. I can't believe six doors constantly breaking. This is a faulty designed refrigerator and should have had a recall, have not seen any on the other models made like this. Am in the market for a washer/dryer. Am staying away from GE.

    Received my new GE Refrigerator 3 weeks ago. Ordered it through Amazon. Vendor was HCCOST. came with dents in both sides and back but that was minor. The fun started when it was installed in my kitchen. We thought we were hearing a jet take off. The water came out warm, next ice flies all over the kitchen. Set it to give you 3 oz of water it gives you 8 - all screwed up. Don't know if it has been dropped or what is going on. HCCOST offered me $200.00 to shut up and go away. I paid $2,100.00 for this refrigerator. At my house that is a lot of money!!! Am praying AMAZON will help me with getting this thing returned. I chose GE because my last one I bought 17 years ago is still running great. We ordered new to update to stainless. Wish I had read the reviews before I got into this mess.

    We bought our GE Monogram (top of the line) refrigerator 4.5 years ago plus two ovens, a stove and dishwasher. So far, we've had 6 service calls during this time on the refrigerator. Last week was the 6th time we were visited by the service personnel. 3 days later the refrigerator broke down again. We once again called customer service. Had to wait a couple of days of course. We were then informed that all parts in this refrigerator had to be replaced and they would arrive the beginning of this week. The parts arrived. Evidently, we were on the low end of people to see. They are now scheduled 2 days from now. Does that make sense. We called customer service, we called public relations, we called GE's monogram department whom informed us that we would "probably" go to the top of the list for service. Wrong. We're still without service and without a refrigerator for 10 days. I would never, ever recommend GE because of the inferior product and the terrible service we have received is unbelievable. We are now scheduled for a service visit on Friday. Buy anything but don't buy GE. They really don't give a damn about their customers. Oh yes, we also have had to throw out a full refrigerator of food (twice).

    I am reviewing the GE Profile French Door Counter Depth model PGCS1NFZASS. Purchased new from our builder in July 2011 for our new home. Home builders really push GE products!! Worked fine for 3 years then refrigerator temperature rose to over 50 degrees. Certified GE repairman thought the problem was the fan, then when another qualified repairman came to replace part, he said it was the motherboard and that sometimes the fan burns out the motherboard so we should replace both. About $600 to fix....maybe??

    After reading many reviews on this site, we decided to not go down the road of expensive repairs and that it would be better to cut our losses. New refrigerator arrives in a few days. Opted for an LG model this time and purchased the 5 year protection plan at the strong recommendation of our excellent salesman at Home Depot. Gone are the days of thinking appliances will last and be dependable. I am thoroughly disgusted with GE - this was an expensive refrigerator and to last only 3 years before a major breakdown is a sad commentary on the state of manufacturing. We are a disposable society because of companies like GE that produce expensive trash that makes it more cost effective to replace than repair.

    I purchased a GE Profile refrigerator with the freezer drawers on the bottom from Home Depot in June 2012. The salesman pressed me to buy an extended warranty from Home Depot and it's a good thing he did! It has never worked properly. It has always frozen the food in the refrigerator section and it has been impossible to store food properly from Day 1. Within the first year, it was under GE warranty, so GE sent a repairperson. He said the door that opens and shuts to let cold air in from the freezer sticks and he ordered a replacement unit and came and replaced it. It only worked for another four months or so. Scheduled a repair with Home Depot under the extended warranty. Came out and said "I don't see anything frozen so I can't help you" and left. Well, we threw away food as it froze so we could make room for food the family could actually eat.

    Started keeping my produce on the kitchen counter instead of the refrigerator. Scheduled another repair. This guy said "Don't keep food on the same side of the refrigerator as the ice maker". Well, with a family of 5, it isn't feasible to use only half a refrigerator. Scheduled another repair. Home Depot sent GE this time. The guy told me he has the same refrigerator and solved the problem by plugging some of the air holes with white putty. He plugged the air holes and after he left I noticed the receipt he gave me made no mention of the putty trick but said "Explained temp controls to customer". I called Home Depot to complain and ask for a correct receipt and they said I had to deal with GE repairs myself. Can't get a return call from them.

    Earlier this month I came home from vacation and the refrigerator was not cooling. The temp was in the 50s and there was frost all around the edge of the freezer. Scheduled another repair and the guy came and said "just so you know, your unit has almost no Freon." This was my fifth repair and I should have qualified for refund from Home Depot for the no lemon rule under the extended warranty. They are sending the repairman again to put Freon in the system. I asked him why it leaked in the first place and he said he didn't know. Home Depot won't agree to a refund under their no lemon policy. I think they are just trying to run the clock down on me and my extended warranty. It seems like there are many problems with GE profile refrigerators. Does anybody have any idea what to do next?

    I guess I should be very lucky with all of the issues that are listed in regards to the unit not keeping cool. We purchased our GE Profile double door bottom refrigerator 3-1/2 years ago. Up until this past week we have had no issues with this unit. Recently we noticed that the freezer was not holding temperature. However the top refrigerator was holding temperature. So I got online and set up an appointment for a GE-certified tech would come out and service our unit. The trouble I ran into with that was it would be a week before someone could come out. After making the appointment I got home and checked the temps and both of the units had risen to over 50 degrees. So we took all of the items that were in the freezer out and took them to our freezer that we have in the garage. We are lucky that we have that to save the products we had in the freezer.

    Now that it is going to 6 days before the scheduled tech is able to get to our home (from between 8 am and 5 pm which is crazy), I started looking for someone to get out sooner to service my unit. Found a local repair company that came out the next day. In the meantime, we had to save what was in the refrigerator so went out and bought 10-12 pounds of dry ice to keep the now great big stainless steel ice chest cold inside. The service tech said it was the inverter that was bad. SO $278.00 later, the inverter is installed and off the tech goes. Lo and behold, the unit is running and cooling down, yahoo; however about 6 hours later the temp has started going up again. This is now Saturday evening around 8:00 PM and no option to get the service tech back out until Monday. The temp had gone up to around 50 once again so back to the store to get more dry ice (not sure if you have had to purchase dry ice in a while but at $1.97 a lb. it has started to get rather costly to keep the unit cold as we wait once again for service). Now it could be either the circuit board or the compressor causing the issue. Either way, the costs are adding up to the point that what is being spent to repair we could buy a new basic unit which is crazy.

    I cannot believe that an appliance that cost over $3000.00 is having issues at 3-1/2 years old. My old unit was over 15+ years old. There was not one issue ever and it only cost $800.00 new and at that time $800 was a pricey unit.

    I am now waiting once again to get the unit repaired, more dry ice to keep what we have in the refrigerator cool. I am so upset that this high dollar unit is having issues in this short time frame of ownership. My next move is to call the GE customer service line and express my concerns with what we have in our home right now. This is model number PFCS1PJXASS, serial # GR 310430 for the record.

    At this point I am a VERY unhappy consumer.

    The new series of GE Refrigerators come equipped with rear non adjustable rollers and front adjustable ones. Believing that people are too careless to close the refrigerator door, GE has decided to put a severe tilt on its refrigerators so that the top leans toward the wall behind the refrigerator. You cannot, even on a level floor, get the refrigerator even close to level. I have had the unit for three weeks during which time two GE techs have come out to review the situation. Both agreed that the tilt is intentional. After much consideration, I installed two very large wedges with two sided tape so that the rear rollers ride up a ramp as I push the refrigerator toward the back wall. This should not be necessary. The door closing idea sounds great but will have you scrambling to pick up all the items that fell over when the door slams shut.

    Purchase a GE Profile 26 cubic French door model. For the most part, it is really pretty good. Does not produce as much ice as I would like, but can work around that. However, the changing of the Water Filter is so stupid and poorly designed that it completely ruins any positive thoughts I have about the product. Ultimately, I end up having to have a tech come out to replace the filter (currently waiting for the 3rd one since the unit was purchased). When the tech comes out, they usually spend between 30 and 50 minutes working on the change out. This of course is after I have spent literally hours trying to do it and my wife about the same amount of time. There is no excuse for this poor design. When I call GE customer relations, they simply shine me on stating that they just have not had many complaints about the filter. Mind you, this is only a problem every 6 months or so. However, assuming that I have to call a tech every 6 months to do what should be a routine filter change, the cost to me over the next 10 years is over $2000.00. My model number is: PFE29PSDASS. BEWARE!

    I've had GE refrigerators before and in fact my last one was 7 years old and was still running great, we only replaced it to go with stainless steel to match other appliances. Bad mistake. We purchased a new GE side by side bottom freezer fridge after reading reviews and looking at brands in the stores. Some reviews said the fridge was noisy while others said it was fine. The GE was stylish so we purchased it and installed it January 2014. As other reviewers stated, it was noisy, VERY noisy. I learned there's several different fans that come on at various times and some of them are so noisy we have to turn the TV up in the adjoining living room when they turn on.

    Within a few weeks we called about the noise and GE sent out a repairman who installed a "noise kit" to try and reduce the sound. Didn't make a difference. GE said loud fan noise is normal. (If it's normal then why do they make and offer to install "noise kits"?) Few weeks later, started hearing a loud buzz from the fridge and again a repairman came out and made an adjustment to a fan in the back. He too said these new GE's are noisy but it's normal.

    Two months ago the fridge started making loud grinding noises then climbed to room temperature and ruined most of our food. GE said a technician could come out the following week. Seriously? A week when my fridge stopped working? We had to live out of an ice chest for a week and throw away $100 worth of food. Repairman came a week later but strangely enough the fridge started cooling again the day before he came. He said a defrost sensor must have failed freezing up a fan that cools the fridge and it must have thawed out and started working again. Replaced the sensor.

    Last week I found the entire refrigerator section was frozen solid; liquids, produce, everything frozen solid. Called GE and again I was told "we can get someone out there next week". I told the customer service rep I just went through a cooling failure and lost food 2 months ago but she said there was nothing she could do. Again, I had to throw out ruined food; all our produce, milk, sour cream and other perishables. I had to unplug the refrigerator for 2-3 hours several times a day to keep from freezing up again. Temp on the front door showed 38 but a thermometer I put inside showed 12 degrees, in the refrigerator section! But then like the last time, the fridge started working normal again 2 days before the technician came out. When he came he hooked up a monitor and said he could only go back 2 days of operating data and it looked normal. I told him if GE had sent him out sooner than a week when the problem was occurring he would have been able to find the issue. He had no clue as to why the unit froze up and replaced the circuit board as a "process of elimination". So now I wait with my fingers crossed hoping the refrigerator doesn't fail a 3rd time in 6 months.

    Four repair trips from GE in 6 months of owning this refrigerator. Not happy! I would have thought if I had 4 repair trips, 2 of them complete cooling problem failures in two months which caused food spoilage, GE might replace the unit as a lemon. But all I got offered was $100 towards a mini-fridge if I wanted to buy one to keep food cold for the week while waiting for a repairman. If they at least had sent someone out within 24 hours I would have been a little more satisfied thinking they really did care about their customers, but to have to wait a week without a working refrigerator?

    Customer service representatives who answered the phones were friendly, understanding and tried to be helpful by offering a food credit and mini fridge credit both of which I refused, told them I didn't want the hassle and just wanted my refrigerator fixed. They were very understanding but their hands were tied as to my request for an appointment sooner than 5-7 days.

    I'm afraid based on other reviews here, I'm in for more issues with this refrigerator. My last GE I had 7 years with no repair issues. This new one so far (4) service repairs in (6) months with two of those complete failures that ruined food. Be prepared to wait a week to have a technician look at an issue even if it totally stops cooling. The repairman said this was a whole new redesign concept with GE. I'd suggest anyone looking for a new fridge. Avoid GE till they get the bugs worked out on these "new concept" refrigerators. I have been a longtime GE customer but after this experience I will no longer trust the GE name.

    Purchase a GE refrigerator when we remodeled our kitchen. In fact, we purchase all GE Monogram appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, double oven, 5-burner stovetop and hood. To say I have been disappointed in these products would be the understatement of the century. I've had the refrigerate repaired 7 times in 7 years. The temperature kept rising in the refrigerator portion and the freezer would go into deep freeze. We were told over the phone to turn off the refrigerator for three days and leave the doors open. This apparently is supposed to reboot the system. It always worked for a few weeks but it eventually fell apart and we'd have to start the whole process over.

    The GE repairman that was sent out was so incompetent that finally we called 1-800-Appliance and they figured it out in 10 minutes. It is a design flaw in the refrigerator. When we turned it off, all the built up ice in and around the ice maker would thaw and drain into the different components. When we turned it back on, it would freeze and clog everything up. The 1-800-Appliance repairman had to take apart the whole freezer to clean out the ice. The whole experience was so frustrating and GE's customer service is horribly inept.

    Our GE Profile refrigerator was installed July 26, 2013. The freezer was fixed Monday July 21st, 2014 as scheduled. The technician did a great job and is very personable. I can tell you there are several things we are not happy about! Two major problems in less than 12 months!

    1. To wait two days for the first technician, then nine more days to get parts and repairs is ridiculous in this day and age when there is airfreight and a very, very light box of parts! Then you wait 24 hours after repairs to start to use your refrigerator and freezer. That is a total of 12 days of walking 18 steps to the refrigerator in the garage (Through a door and down two steps)! Then repeat that to return the goods after getting your food. With two people, that is 18 trips each day (for just two people), times 12 days = 216 trips!!! Each of us eats breakfast and lunch at a different time (Dinner together). What would a family do if they didn't have another refrigerator and/or kids? (Just because GE either makes junk, or we have a lemon!) I suggested to Customer Service we had a lemon (and wanted a new replacement), but perhaps it is another flaw, as this technician said he already had another one like this. Multiply that times all of your technicians all over the country and what do you have?

    2. Why, because this is the second major flaw in less than 12 months! The first major flaw was ice falling on the floor every time we down loaded ice cubes (unless we pulled the switch out), until our daughter-in-law said “this is not right.” The technician said he had done several fixes for new refrigerators of this model, so multiply that times all of your technicians and what do you get? The answer is, GE apparently puts out untested refrigerators with flaws!

    3. Fortunately, we have another refrigerator in our garage and when my wife began to see thawing in the GE French Freezer portion, she moved some food to the garage and cooked up some of the food. 4. A few weeks ago, GE sent an email questionnaire asking about our experience with our Profile. My wife gave her age and it then said “Thank you” and said that was the end of the survey. That is some way to treat customers! If you are X age, our opinion doesn't count? 5. On top of this, GE said they could authorize $30.00 for our inconvenience! I told some of our friends about this and they said “you've got to be kidding! $30?" (For 225 trips!) We had to move the goods to the garage refrigerator too.

    One afternoon, I put my glass under the water spout on the door of my 4-year-old side-by-side GE fridge and the water didn't come out. The ice worked, but not the water. I looked in the manual and it said that maybe I needed a new filter, so even though I didn't think so, I purchased and installed a new filter. Still no water. I contacted GE and since the 1-year warranty had expired, it would cost me for a sales call. The serviceman came out and informed me that the water froze because I kept my refrigerator way too cold and he would raise the temperature (why did it take 4 years to freeze?).

    He said it would thaw out and I should have water in 3 days, but recommended I buy a heater. I thought he was telling me a joke. Whoever heard of buying a heater for a fridge? He said that this fridge was defected and this was very common and this was the "fix". I told him that if it was defected, GE should pay to fix it, not me. Anyway, 2 weeks later I still did not have water.

    I called again and they sent me the heater free (after much convincing), and another serviceman came out. This one said he would not install the heater because they don't work and said the last serviceman made the fridge colder, not warmer. He changed the temperature again and said I should have water in 3 days. Two weeks later, no water. Another serviceman has since come out and has now informed me that I need a new door because this one is defected. It cost $850, but they will reduce it to $190 + tax, shipping and 25% off installation of $90. So, for another $300, I can have a new door, but there is no guarantee that will fix it either and if it doesn't they are willing to sell me another refrigerator at a discount (as if I would ever buy another GE!).

    GE Profile Series French Door Refrigerator - We purchased this refrigerator during a kitchen remodel in August 2013 and it was installed in Oct. 2013. In July 2014, the freezer temperatures began to rise, now at 23 degrees. When I called the service line, an appointment was scheduled within a week to Tuesday. The repairman called on Monday and said that he was in the neighborhood. He came and checked and found several parts had failed. He told us that parts would be ordered, sent to the house and rescheduled the repairs the following Monday. When I did not receive parts, I called the service center and was told that those parts had not been ordered! A computer glitch, and it was good that I called because without parts, my appointment was in permanent limbo.

    On Saturday, Consumer Affairs ordered expedited parts sent to the technician and rescheduled the appointment for the following Thursday. I called this morning to confirm my placement for this morning's service, and was told that I was cancelled. My parts were not sent to the tech., and were not scheduled to be received by me until later in the day today. So, without calling or e-mailing me, they cancelled and rescheduled me for tomorrow afternoon. I was shuffled from one person to another, waiting 3-5 minutes each time. Each person sympathized for my frustration, but was unable to do anything. A supervisor was not available on any occasion. I could leave a phone number and one would return my calls within 24 hours. While I can understand a rare mechanical failure in an appliance, this is the WORST customer service. They do not communicate and update about the progress of the service problem.

    In 2008 we installed a GE single-door, bottom freezer refrigerator with an ice maker in our vacation home. This year, 2013, the plastic tubing failed that supplied water to the ice maker while we were away. The water flooded the first floor, damaging the wood and tile flooring beyond any possibility of repair. All the floors must be removed, dried out and replaced. The cost will be in the neighborhood of $20,000.

    I reread the appliance manual, and it contained only a mild warning that the plastic tubing could deteriorate over time, with no instructions regarding periodic checking or maintenance. I have since heard of numerous instances of the same failure, so I believe the plastic tubing was and is a design defect.

    GE Monogram Side by Side Refrigerator - 36 inch - Nightmare of a purchase. The first fridge was delivered during construction phase of my new kitchen remodel in mid 2008. Installed in place in September, 2008, into its spot in the new kitchen. Pulled the fridge out to connect the water supply for the ice maker a few weeks later, only to find mold and mildew completely covering the wall behind my fridge. Repairman came out and suggested I put a heating coil on the back of the fridge to evaporate the condensation. Same repairman said that not enough insulation was placed in the fridge from the factory. I asked the repairman to look himself in the mirror so that he could see how stupid he looked telling me to put a heater on the back of my refrigerator. I had purchased the fridge on my American express gold card. Guess what, AX offers not only a reverse charge guarantee on defective appliance purchases over $250, but they also offer extended warranties.

    Gave Standard Brands several opportunities to make the purchase right, they would not listen. Finally I called AX and had them reverse the charge of almost $5,000 for the fridge. Only then did I get the attention of GE because accounts receivable all of a sudden got a reverse charge from AX for the full cost of the fridge. Someone from GE called me and I had a new refrigerator in a matter of hours. GE also paid for the hazardous cleanup that THEIR product created. This story would not have turned out ok for me without American Express. The AX charge reversal got their attention. I will NEVER BUY GE AGAIN. I am a banker and a construction lender. I always ask what appliances the builder or home owner are going to install. If they say GE, I do not finance the appliances in the loan and I proceed to tell them what crappy products GE makes.

    Do not purchase GE Profile Appliances under any circumstance. I purchased a GE Profile Microwave and French Door Refrigerator at the end of May 2009. In December 2011, the microwave stopped working - it was a defective magnetron. This happened right before Christmas and the repair person did not have the part prior to the holiday. I was without a microwave for the holidays with a house full of company. The repair person suggested I buy a small tabletop microwave to carry me through the holidays. What audacity! The microwave was never fixed until Jan 2012. In December 2012, the microwave once again stopped working. I called for service and the defective part was one that should have been replaced when the magnetron was replaced. The repair person once again did not have the part. His major concern was whether I would give him a good rating if GE surveyed me.

    In April 2014, my $2400 French door refrigerator stopped cooling. I called for service and once again the repair person (who was the same as the one who repaired the microwave the second time) did not have the part. Once again, his major concern was how I would rate him if I were surveyed. Additionally he tried to upsell me on various parts, such as a water filter for the refrigerator.

    In all cases, I contacted customer service. I asked for the name of the CEO of GE Appliances. No one in customer service was able and/or willing to provide a name. I commented that the CEO must be in the federal witness protection program. I finally found the names of the CEOs. (Charlene Begley was the CEO when the microwave had to be fixed the 1st time. The current CEO is Blankenship and is the one I wrote to when the microwave had to be fixed the 2nd time and when the refrigerator had to be fixed.) In all 3 cases I received calls from representatives from the CEO office who stated they could somewhat discount the costs I incurred, but not expunge them. I commented that GE should make me whole based on the priciness of the Profile line and the newness of the appliances. The representatives' comments were tantamount to the need for me to "have skin in the game". I have subsequently read that GE Profile appliances are fraught with problems and are associated with extremely costly repairs.

    I have written to Consumer Reports on 3 occasions about the 3 incidents outlined above. The first time the president (Jim Guest). The first time (about the first microwave repair), I received a form letter thanking me for my input, but nothing more. The second time (about the 2nd microwave repair), I received correspondence from someone within Consumers Union stating I should contact the Better Business Bureau. I have received no response from Mr. Guest about the 3rd incident, whereby I sent him letters that I had sent to Begley and Blankenship of GE, which recapped the 3 issues outlined above. You can draw your own conclusions about Consumer Reports.

    I have been taking steps to let the consumer know that GE Appliances are shoddily made and should not be purchased. I have let every family member, friend, business associate, and acquaintance know through a mass email mailing. I have also approached consumers in the parking lot of GE Appliance stores, with written recaps of my problems and encouraging them to NOT purchase GE appliances. For me the icing on the cake is that GE over the course of the last several years has paid "0" (nothing) in corporate income taxes. The consumer gets screwed by GE in more than 1 way.

The product was bad from the beginning and they won't even give me a courtesy service visit. I won't be buying any more GE products.

    GE Refrigerator Monogram - A joke. A box with 100s of problems. Works for a year. After that expect problems from GE products. 60% are going to have issues. Are you ready to pay every few months?

    GE like even worse than domestic cars - making multiple models with features but no quality aspects is addressed along the way. GE should get out of Appliance since they don't have edge like they used to.

    We bought a GE monogram fridge in 2005, which has a warranty of 12 years. In 2014 (9 years later), the fridge stopped working. GE sent in the repair crew 5 times and could not fix it. The service quality was poor, not to mention that they showed at 2pm when the appointment was 8am to 12pm. As of today, we have paid ~$700 and have no fridge for over one month and not sure when and how this will be fixed. A very frustrated GE consumer.

    My experience has been similar to others. Remodeled my kitchen. Chose GE Monogram Appliances. Refrigerator has developed rust areas and the lower back (coil?) freezes enough to actually freeze around wire basket. Never find anything in the pan so I'm not sure why this has occurred. Had a contract and the service rep. came out several times but it keeps happening. Contract has since expired. Ice continues to build up so there was no resolution.

    Our side by side refrigerator started having problems in November of 2013. We bought this GE Profile counter depth unit in 2010. The temperature in freezer and refrig was extremely high. We bought the warranty and had 5 service calls. Panel replaced, converter replaced, had 2 calls for this. Came out, said it need replacement. It was ordered and we had to call for another appointment. This took over a month. And food spoiled. 3rd time guy came out, who knows what he did. But we were billed for a service call 3 months later. 5th time they sent GE out and he adjusted the connection of the converter. And as usual the temperature went out in a week.

    Finally in April 2014 we got them to replace refrig per contract. We had to go to where we originally bought refrig. We only got credit for what we paid. To get the same refrig. was over a $1000 above the credit. We got a lower end unit but ended up paying $500 more. It is not in stock, so we have to wait 2 weeks for delivery. All our food spoiled and we have water leaking to the floor constantly. We have to wipe up every few hours. Already damaged floor. After reading review there appears to be a mfg problem with GE side by side. But no one says anything and I cannot find recall info. Hope we do not have this nightmare again in 3 years. Quite costly. Our old refrig lasted 20 years and still going when we replaced it. So much for updating.

    We have a GE refrigerator Model GFE29HSDASS, it is exactly a year and half old. We were told that the electrical board was bad. We didn't get the extended warranty. What the repairman did find was a wire that wasn't hooked up just hanging there. I'm not sure if this could have caused the problem or not. Usually with an electrical problem like this in a car it usually happens right away rather than later like a mechanical problem. First the button for the water quit then the reset for the water filter would not reset. My question to GE was could the wire that wasn't hooked up have been the problem causing the board to go out when the water button was pushed. The repairman did put shrink tube on the wire, never did find where it went. Also the motor is awful noisy, was told they all are. My last GE product!

    Our GE Profile fridge has been a problem from the get go. The ice maker motor had to be replaced during the first few months. The freezer door also had to be replaced during the first year because of a bad seal. During the second or third year, I noticed the inside of the freezer was cracking, and now I just noticed the fridge has numerous cracks. I knew we no longer had a warranty but wanted to call the 800 number to inquire. I get the motor parts being out of warranty, but to me this is a manufacturing defect.

    GE 28.6 Cu. Ft. French Door Fridge - First, let me say that we take responsibility for purchasing this refrigerator 13 months ago (1 month past GE’s measly one-year warranty), despite all the bad reviews we read online. At $1,000 off the average retail price for the size fridge we needed it was a deal we couldn't refuse.

    Now let me say that we are living the nightmare of all bad GE fridge reviews rolled into one, for which we blame GE. A couple of days ago our fridge started making the infamous 'noise' so many reviewers comment on. The freezers and refrigerator sections started warming up - again, as all too many reviewers comment on. Finally, we noticed the temp/control console on the front door of the fridge wasn't registering correct temps. Next came the insult to injury...

    Thank goodness we purchased as much extended warranty as was available. In hindsight, GE's measly offering of only 1 year of warrant should have been a huge red flag. I called the extended warranty company, described the issues, was told they would dispatch GE to fix the fridge and that we should hear something from GE within 24 hrs.

    Welp, a little more than 24 hrs later…nothing, nuttin', nada from GE. When I called GE to inquiry about the service ticket, I was summarily told 'they don't service my area'...end of discussion. No apology; no empathy. Not to put too fine a point on this, but...the same company peddling cheaply-made, crappy products has the luxury of declining repair of the same crappy product simply because where their crappy product is located isn't convenient for them...?? Really??!?!! I move on to my digression...

    When I call the warranty company back they finally tell me another order was placed yesterday for repair (which no one called to tell us) via A&E Factory Repair Services, the company reviews of which leave me nervous, to say the least.

    GE, I won't forget this appliance nightmare any time soon and the total sum of issues and inadequate performance that has all too many people like ourselves irate and disenfranchised. I will boycott GE altogether going forward, and make every effort to tell anyone and everyone I know about GE's apparent business model of producing substandard products, with little or no support for the crappy inferior products they peddle, and no concern whatsoever for the consumers harmed by GE's turn of the quick, more profitable buck.

    We purchased a GE ref. french door style in late 2010. Began to use it 2011. 2012, ice maker began to freeze over. We had purchased a warranty, thank God. Tech changed entire ice maker and worked for about 10months. It froze over again, and changed the motherboard. That lasted about a day. Changed O ring or something, that did not work. Changed something else, that did not work. I believe he changed every part in the unit, except the compressor. Now GE states that it is not able to be repaired and gave 30 days to decide on a buyout for $749 dollars. Other than the ice maker freezing up, the unit works well and all parts have been changed. After reading other horror stories, I feel lucky that it is only the ice maker not working. Will never buy another GE product again.

    I bought a new refrigerator for my tenant, because the GE refrigerator in situ (all of 7 years old) wasn't working properly. I was told by the repairman that it would be cheaper to buy a new one than repair that one. So I bought her a brand new one. Idiotically, I chose another GE. Within a week, my tenant was complaining (and rightly so) about it. It made ear-splitting noises all night long, and the freezer section wasn't operating properly. Three times we called for GE repair. Three times they came out, and three times they shrugged and said "it is working up to standards." Some standards! An igloo would be more efficient.

    By the way, the GE washing machine in the same apartment (barely 3 years old) just gave up the ghost. Repairman said it would cost $500 to fix, and I'd be better off buying a new one. Am I expected to buy brand new appliances every year? I will NEVER buy another GE product. The company makes incredibly shoddy merchandise, gives buyers zero help, ignores complaints, and simply doesn't care. Once they get their money, they hightail out of your life faster than... well, faster than a GE appliance will break down. Which is pretty fast. Want a better washing machine than a GE?

I spent the next 2 hrs contacting every GE troubleshooting phone number listed on Google! I gave up after calling every listing with NO results ~ Effort was FUTILE!

I do not feel that I should have to pay for a defective refrigerator or the parts to try and once again try to fix something that GE has not fixed correctly yet! There is something wrong with the wiring in the door or with the door panel for this to continue to keep happening every time the water filter needs to be replaced.

    Purchased a new French door GE unit (GFSL2KEXALS) in April 2009. Only saving grace with this story is that I bought extended warranty - which ends April 2014. At the end of Dec 2012, the freezer starting defrosting/refreezing (after which I had to pitch food because I was not inclined to each meat, etc. that had been defrosted and refrozen - didn't need to end up in hospital). Called GE service # at beginning of 2013. A tech came out on Jan 11 and said sliders needed to be replaced - door not allowing good seal for freezer door. Order parts and installed them on Jan 9, 2013. Called GE Svc on Feb 1 - freezer continued to defrost/refreeze. New tech on Feb 8 couldn't find why it was doing this and called his office. They said to order new sensor and circuit board. Another tech installed these items on Feb 18th.

    All seemed fine until few days before Christmas 2013 when problem of defrosting/refreezing started again. This time I had temperature gauges in top and bottom. Fridge section got up to 48 degrees one time I looked at it and freezer has been almost 60 degrees. Called GE Svc on Dec 24 and set appt for tech. Tech out on Dec 30; looked at earlier repairs and order a 2nd sensor (not the one originally replaced - there are 2 sensors), and a motor DC Evap ASM. Also divider and basket rails since I was having problems with ice tray slipping and small basket sticking. Jan 7, 2014 tech replaced with new parts.

    I waited 2 hours before placing food back in fridge/freezer. Several hours later back to defrosting/refreezing. Removed food again and Jan 8 - set up call for Jan 9. Jan 9 a different tech arrives, explained problem to him (as well as now I have a whirring or buzzing sound). He reviewed paperwork from other techs and started his check. Called his office and remotely sent them info from circuit board. Final call was that I had opened/closed doors 20,000 times since Feb 2013 and that was the problem. I asked if there was a certain amount of times I could open/close doors. No one can answer this question.

    Called GE Consumer Relations office and was told I could not get a replacement - not 3 separate times in a year (even though it was at least 7 times. Level 2 person said shows I opened/closed doors approx. 55 times a day - only person here and don't do it that many times a day I know). Also told me the 3 separate times needs to take in account what warranty is on parts replaced - could be 90 to 120 days. Told him in that case, I could never qualify for 3 "separate" calls in 12 months. Basically my extended warranty is of no value and from what I've read about the same problems others have had with a GE unit, they are getting the same can't replace or a fix of we'll give you a "small" $ amount for you to replace the unit.

    As others have said, for a unit that was so new (mine not 3 yrs old when it started) to have these problems with the amount that was paid for the unit is uncalled for. And to tell a customer that they open/close a unit too much - what about a family of 4 or 5; I know they open/close their unit much more. My daughter has same unit and not problem - 5 in her family. I would like to see something in writing stating that there is a certain # of times a day doors can be opened/closed before this problem will occur - but will not hold my breath for that. Last GE product I will buy. Will also write Home Depot (where purchased) and president of GE to voice my displeasure and pass on the ridiculous 20,000 door open/close answer to the problem.

Now GE wants to send another shell and try again. Very bad design and tech is not sure if this one will work. GE says it will because they are sending THEIR tech, really. Builder is useless also.

    GE grossly overcharged me for my refrigerator repair. First, let me say their "process" was legal but they hid behind 2 things: 1. Convince you you need a GE repair tech; 2. Get the appointment and service call without mentioning the 'service call' includes NO time; 3. Present you an estimate while they fix your issue ("you could have told me to stop" mentality); 4. Hide behind charging for the 'job'. Folks, here's what you are in for: (my repair was for an inverter replacement)
    Total from the time technician called and was on the way to end of repair and out the door 45 minutes. Total service call/labor charges $165.93/.75hr=$221/hr.

    Part was charged at $208.40, I could have bought for $120. I know they purchase for much less. They DO deserve a markup but 73% above what I could get it for???

    Response from GE "Cares" (#GEcares, #GEMonogram): Don't care about excessive charges we charge by the job. My recommendation for any by the job repair company is when they diagnose from their 'house call' and give you an 'estimate', ask for a written diagnosis of the problem along with the estimate. Ask them some questions concerning time and do the math because the big boys will stick to their legal process to ** us rather than be concerned about their reputation. I'm certainly not wanting something for free and recognize they have overheads but the above numbers are true and I'm NOT a fan of GE at this point for sure.

They look great. As far as working ability, let's just say that I bought a couple of lemons. From the beginning I've had problems with both. My first service call was for the stove. The main oven and small oven didn't seem to work at the set temperature and the convection oven didn't heat at all.

    The serviceman adjusted the temperature on the main oven and said that the small oven and convection oven could not be adjusted. I would have to learn how to cook with the temperatures as they were. That was in Jan 2009 and to this day, I have problems with the temperature. The middle part of the large 3 ring burner has burnt out and will cost over 300.00 to replace.

    The fridge is even worse than the stove. I've replaced the plastic runners that hold the fruit and vegetable bins in place. They broke again and now the bins won't stay on the runners. The clear plastic door trays have all broken and are now held together by masking tape or have broken so badly that I am no longer able to use them. The sliding 1/2 shelf has broken off. The gasket on one of the doors has broken and the rubber around the door has torn. (Cost to repair is approx. 250.00) I have just had to replace the control board and compressor relay (total cost $402.17).

    In 2009 I purchased a GE front load washer and dryer. The drum in the washer was replaced in the first year. My clothes never look clean. The whites are no longer white and in order to get any stains out I have to use the stain cycle which takes almost 3 hours to wash. Even bleach doesn't get the whites white. Dark colors come out with blotches on them and normally have to be rewashed. When we purchased our first appliances in 1985 all were Beaumark, which I believe were made by GE. I still have the fridge and the stove was given away in 2007 in working condition. There was no doubt in my mind that GE was my first choice in 2007 when an upgrade was in order. That is no longer the case. This will be my last GE purchase.

I didn't agree since I spent $1300 on this one a year and a half prior and since they were removing the old one I would lose out. Sure enough, almost 6 months later, it's making noise and struggling to work. When I contacted GE again, they offered me the same deal. The thing that made me angriest was that they were offering me the new model of my fridge (they no longer make my model - I wonder why) for $1000... That means I would be paying $2300 altogether for a refrigerator that should last more than 3 years!!!!! This item is obviously a manufacturer's defect and we have a washer, dryer, microwave for over four years with no issues for them. I wish they would take care of their good customers....

    We purchased our fridge in 2007 and have had nothing but problems since then. We originally began hearing a loud motor noise, which is apparently because the ice maker was freezing over. When the fridge was built (in Mexico), they left out one very important part, which we found out after the third technician came out to replace the ice maker.

    Now we have the problem of the fridge super-heating to above 100 degrees. For the third time. The last time the tech came out, he indicated it was a problem with the motherboard and should have been replaced before. So he replaced it in mid-2012. The fridge superheated again today, so probably not the motherboard unless that was also made in Mexico. I have a direct line to the Consumer Relations department (800-386-1215) for those still having issues with GE's "customer service" line. They can't do anything for you except schedule appointments. If I could, I would have given 0 stars for this product.

    In 2007, I went to Sears and purchased all my new appliances. My GE refrigerator has been nothing but a headache. When it still was under warranty, I called GE for the warranty and was told it sounded like a main board and would cost approximately $800.00 to have them come out and fix the refrigerator that that part was not under warranty. The freezer freezes up, causing everything to ice up, then the ice maker stops working, the water stops working and the whole refrigerator and freezer get warm, ruining everything in there.

    I have to unplug the unit and wait several days for the whole unit to defrost completely before I can plug it back in. It will then work for about 2 to 3 weeks and I have to repeat the whole process over. I had to go by a deep freezer just to keep my meat in so I stop losing all my groceries.

    Our fridge is 11 yrs old now. For the last 5 years, we have had repairs on this. Every time it has been the same problem, almost a yearly repair. This year, it had broken down twice. The issue is that the circulator fan gets frozen and stops circulating the cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator and the whole system breaks down. The fan has been replaced on multiple times, wrong items were replaced once, a missing part was found once and the problem just persists.

    This last time (is getting repaired this Saturday), the customer service person actually said, '"What do you expect from an 11-year-old refrigerator?" But these problems started from age 6 of the refrigerator! I have seen and heard numerous complaints about this/similar issue, as well as some of the repairmen said that this is a common problem. Now, is there a design issue? If so, maybe we should start a class action suit against GE. Any suggestions, ideas, takers.

    If I could rate my experience less than zero, I certainly would. I purchased a GE Microwave oven and, less than ten months after its manufacture - not the purchase date but the actual date of manufacture as posted on the manufacturer's label - the paint on the inside of the cabinet began to peel. At that time, they initially ignored my complaints until, after the third or fourth contact, they agreed to send out a service person to check the problem. The end result? They agreed to sell me a new microwave at a discounted price! Now, bear in mind, I had owned the oven for about seven months at this time and they were offering to sell me another one for around six or seven hundred dollars! What a deal! And then I could start saving up for the Next Year's model!!!

    Well, it has now been over a year, half of the roof on the inside of the cabinet is peeled away and the push buttons no longer work properly, requiring the user to push, then inch around the general location of the desired button to activate it. Want to set the timer? Be careful you don't activate the express button! Want to set timed cooking? Allow yourself a couple of minutes just to get the appropriate buttons pushed! GE's concept of customer service seems to be much like a prostitute who will 'service' you... for the right price. And once the price is paid, you get exactly that kind of service for your money! - You get screwed!

    I have never been so disappointed with customer service in my life. I understand that sometimes manufacturers can have a 'clinker' in the assembly line. But, the manufacturer should understand that as well and be prepared to make good on their error, not try to screw you twice! GE does not seem to care about their customers so I have officially washed my hands of them. I am going to have to purchase a new microwave - after only about a year and a half years on the one I now own - but it will, most assuredly not be a General Electric. I am buying something I know I can trust and getting an LG! And, since GE seems to be so intent on screwing their customers, I leave them with only two words in return... Screw You!

I contacted GE and they kept telling me that the fridge is not under warranty but that they understand my frustration so they can offer the parts at 50% discount and warranty the parts for 5 years. We have home warranty (thank God because the parts are SO EXPENSIVE. The parts alone would cost $960), and the technician hinted that the way the fridge is designed, the main board will keep failing because it's close to the compressor (which naturally needs to get warm to compress the gas to cool the fridge). In summary, there is a design problem. I would NOT RECOMMEND GE Profile built in. It failed twice within 2 yrs which means min. $300 in groceries. We had to buy a backup fridge.

They replaced some type of plug and claimed the unit was not getting enough airflow through the back (never had a problem with that in 4 1/2 years) so my husband cut a hole in the side of the cabinet and placed a vent to allow for additional air flow. But the problem was back within a week. Second repair man said the compressor was going (not gone but going) but he had to order it and come back.

    You be the judge before you buy GE. We purchased a side-by-side refrigerator some 7 years ago. It's been a total 7-year lemon. I can tell you we would never buy again another GE appliance in a million years. It has been repaired over and over again, numerous motherboards, the motherboard behind the dispenser as well. The ice maker went belly up, no ice, then it totally went haywire and all we could get was crushed ice. The heaters have been replaced about 4 times. We were frightened to go away on holiday, afraid of what we might find wrong with the fridge when we got back.

    Do you know what a pain it is to have to empty the freezer section over and over again to defrost the back panel after the heater has broken. It is a right Royal Pain in the **. All the frozen food has to be removed and the back panel taken off to be able to defrost around the freezer coils!!! We have contacted GE many times. We also brought to their attention that the electrical contacts where the heater plugs into were scorched both sides!! Now, is this a major fire risk!! So the saga goes on. Yes, you guessed it, the auger in the freezer has come to a complete stop, will not deliver ice.

    When we purchased this, no one told us that we would be subjected to continuous repairs and breakdowns of this appliance. It would be a great unit for the Red Green TV show. We have been corresponding with Head Office GE and we asked for a replacement fridge because of the lemon we purchased. "No," was the response, "We believe GE has been very fair to you"!!!!! Are we living on the same planet? If that's GE's fair practice they must be out to lunch! We have put up with this crappy fridge for 7 years, repairs, breaking down, emptying the freezer over and over again!

Only problem is that the door is no longer available. GE offered to replace the fridge for $2900 dollars. I paid $4800 dollars for it originally.

    After researching the serial number I find that the fridge was manufactured in June of 2004. So I paid full price for a 4 year old product that sat in a warehouse for 4 years. I would have close to $8000 dollars invested in a new fridge that would probably start leaking again in five years. Not going to happen.

    Our 5-year old GE side-by-side refrigerator freezer wasn't cooling properly so we called the repair department. After the service man checked out the freezer he stated that it was leaking refrigerant and would probably cost about $800 to repair it. We were shocked to say the least. We were told, by both the repair man and all the various appliance sales people we visited later that day that, these days, we are "lucky" if a refrigerator lasts five to seven years. The manufacturers are using parts from China that are made so cheaply that the things just don't last. I find that deplorable.

    I told the service man that we had our first refrigerator for thirty years. We bought a new one because we wanted something different so we gave the old one to our daughter as a second unit for her basement. She had it another four years and, when she sold her house, it was left in the basement there for the new owners. It could still be operating today for all I know. By the way that one was a Frigidaire.

    Our second model was also a Frigidaire and that one operated twenty years as our main unit and then became our backup for another five. The repair man said that the manufacturers are looking forward to the day when my generation was gone as we are the ones that know how long refrigerators should/could really last. I just think that refrigerator (all appliance manufacturers really) should be ashamed of this controlled obsolescence attitude. Needless to say, we did not buy another GE as we heard from a reliable source, who shall remain nameless, that they are the worst.

    I purchased a GE Profile Bottom Mount Refrigerator Model PDS20MBSBWW from the Home Depot in September 2006. Almost from the beginning, the refrigerator was unsatisfactory. It made loud noises - very loud knocking and gurgling sounds as if there was air or some kind of liquid flowing through the cooling mechanism, but it initially kept food in both the refrigerator and the freezer reliably cool. The interior cabinet design was poor, however, and I found it nearly impossible to store any type of large bottle or container without laying it on its side. It was also very hard to locate anything on any of the shelves because they were cramped and so close together.

    What disturbed me most, however, was the complete failure of the refrigerator after only 6 years. It began to make loud pinging or clicking noises over and over every time the compressor tried to start, and the temperature control inside the refrigerator would either blink on and off or go completely black for hours at a time. The temperature in the refrigerator compartment also began to fluctuate widely, moving between 28 and 55. The unit seemed to have a hard time starting and then, once started, it seemed to run for hours. It would run and run and run and then shut off after the temperature in the refrigerator dropped to 27 degrees (It was set at 38).

    One day, the clicking noise continued for more than 6 hours and the compressor never started. I finally unplugged the unit as I had to leave the house and feared that a fire might start as a result of some type of overheating. When I plugged it in hours later, the same annoying clicking or pinging sound went on again, so I finally unplugged it for good and purchased a small dorm sized refrigerator just for essentials while considering what to do.

    Based on the many reviews I've read about the shockingly poor quality of GE refrigerators (I understand that they are the most likely of any major brand to fail), I've decided to replace the refrigerator rather than trying to have it repaired. For many years I had wonderful, reliable GE products, like refrigerators and washing machines that lasted for 25 or 30 years. I'm shocked at the poor quality of the products that the company produces now, and I'm really surprised that their top-of-the-line Profile product is so poor given the hefty price they charged for it (I paid about $1200 for a refrigerator that lasted only 6 years!).

    Given this experience, I will not be purchasing any large GE or Hotpoint appliances again. Another sad tale of shoddy products produced by a once proud American company, I fear. It's very sad to think that a trusted firm has squandered its reputation for quality by manufacturing products with cheap, unreliable parts and charging consumers unreasonably high prices just to generate extraordinary profits.

No mention of doing a diagnostic. The problem persisted and I called support. They then informed me that a diagnostic needed to be done over the phone.

A support person was deployed the next day (after much persistence on my part to not to delay it for a few days). This support person came in and asked why my energy saver was on, then turned it off and said it was not the compressor but possibly would need Freon. He left me a number to call about this.

    I did call when there was no improvement, but he never called back even after leaving three messages. Another repair person was deployed the next evening. He was more thorough and actually looked into the workings of the refrigerator. The computer board was affected and needed to be ordered. The board did not get installed until 4 days later. I was without a refrigerator for 8 days. When I contacted GE to provide feedback on their poor service along with the service I received from the field support, they certainly sympathized, but were unwilling to reimburse me for food and medication I lost due to this elongated time period. Their response to me was that it was not in my warranty.

    I don't think their poor service was in my warranty either but that is what I got. I think the least they could do in response to their poor service was to reimburse the loss of the contents of my refrigerator.

After the 3rd refrigerator from Home Depot in 45 days, asked for a refund and bought the same unit from Sears and they offered free installation and have never had an issue since but Home Depot they just don't care about how things get delivered.

    The Repair Service:

    Service Order # **

    The Story: The fridge would not maintain temperature which got progressively higher day by day. On 12/21/11, I called the number listed in the GE manual for service, 800-432-2737. After getting my zip code, they connected me to A&E Factory Service who scheduled an appointment for 12/23/11.

    Service call #1 12/23/11: Upon arriving, the tech immediately diagnosed the problem as evaporator frosted over. He spent 50 minutes defrosting the fridge & prepared to leave. I asked him if he was not going to check the electronic controls to confirm that the defrost cycle would operate properly henceforth &, if it would not, to diagnose the problem so that he could correct it. He answered that he did not have the skills or the equipment to analyze the electronic controls; they service all brands of appliances & so cannot be expected to have the skills & equipment needed to do such analysis. With that he presented me with a bill for $138.74 & was gone.

    Technician comment on bill: "EVAP FROSTED OVER. DEFROSTED EVAP & CHECKED HEATER & CONTROLS. UNIT RUNNING & COOLING NOW." The comment checked heater & controls was manifestly untrue because, as the tech stated, he had neither the skills nor equipment to check the controls. I told him that since he had done nothing to find the cause of the ice buildup it would probably continue to occur. Within 10 days, as I predicted, the same problem recurred. I scheduled another service call.

    Service call #2 1/10/2012: The tech said the control board was defective. He defrosted the fridge again & installed a new board for $212.49. Technician comment on bill: "Bad control board replaced test ok." Within a week, the same problem was back yet again, indicating that the problem had been misdiagnosed & the board had not been defective. So the $212.49 cost of the replacement was (my) wasted money. I called A&E yet again.

    Service call #3 1/19/2012: The tech defrosted the fridge a third time & ordered replacement defrost & freezer temp sensors. Technician comment on bill: “Defrosted Evap again. Ord new defrost & freezer.”

    Service call #4: On 1/25/12, the tech installed the replacement defrost & freezer temp sensors. The fridge has now been operating okay for 18 months. I have my fingers crossed. If it fails again, it is trash. In any event, it is the last GE fridge I will ever buy.

    Lessons Learned: Where to start? When I engaged the expert GE repair service to which GE directed me, I expected a technician with the skills & equipment to diagnose & correct any problem with my GE appliance. For a billing rate of $129.00 per hour, this is surely a reasonable expectation (The hourly billing rate at my auto dealer's service shop is much less & they have all the necessary skills & equipment to service a much more complex machine).

    To characterize the performance of these inadequately trained & equipped technicians as expert GE repair service borders on fraud and I hold GE responsible for my problem with this firm since they directed me to them. I called GE rather than a local repairman thinking that I would be assured of competent service, even though the labor billing rate was double the local rate. Obviously I was naive in expecting GE to assure the performance of the firms they recommend for expert GE repair service.

    I have subsequently been told that there is no way to check the control board & circuitry of a GE fridge with a computer as is done with autos. So, the only way to find a fault is to trade out components until the fridge operates correctly. If this is true, then GE is guilty of very shoddy engineering. Incidentally, the control board replaced in Service call #2 had just been replaced 4 months earlier by a local repairman at a parts & labor cost of $299.50 to stop water from overflowing the ice maker, flooding the kitchen & the finished basement beneath. That repair was successful so the original board probably was defective.

    At this point, then, I have spent $717.87 & endured over a month of hassle to get a 6 year old GE fridge repaired. Meanwhile my 20 year old Maytag in the basement has never needed repair. It's obvious to me from this experience that the historic quality of GE appliances is no more & that GE feels no responsibility to assure that competent service is available for their appliances.

    One of the biggest laughs we got on TV at the time this was happening was the GE Works ad campaign. GE may be working for buyers of aircraft turbines, medical equipment, etc. but certainly not for appliance buyers like me.

    Purchased a GE Cafe fridge from Home Depot. Took the delivery guys 3 tries to bring me one without scratches on the stainless steel. Finally get one after a month. First month it starts leaking on my floor. Service tech can't find anything wrong with it and in the process of sliding it back in, scratched the whole side.

    About 4 WEEKS ago, I called GE to let them know that my 7 yr old Refrigerator was "OUT". Same thing happened last year. That occasion, I was able to get it running. This time, no such luck. GIVEN THAT I AM A SENIOR (75) and it is July/Aug (and I take meds that need to be in the fridge), and here I am with NO working fridge.

    It took more than a week to get a tech in. Then I was told parts would have to be ordered. A week later, there is a heavy box at my door. It's a compressor and other parts!! The tech comes back a week later. He tells me that GE shipped the wrong parts. He finished and told me the freezer would come on quickly, but the fridge would take 12 hours as it might be "defrost mode"... At 1 am in the morning, I woke up and checked the fridge... Yes, you guessed right, fridge was hotter than the 70 of the night temp! The freezer was a little cold...felt like it was the temp of what a fridge would be...

    The tech left the parts where they were on my floor. Did not take them with him. He said "Call me if there is a problem." He left his cell #. I called the next morning but he never got back to me. I then called GE again.....so, here I am, almost ONE month later, and still nothing from GE. They are coming back on Tuesday, the 6th of August. I eat mostly veggies and beans. All this needs to be in the fridge, not the freezer. I weighed 104lbs 4 weeks ago at my doctor appt. I cannot imagine what I weigh now...not eating right...and I just don't have the money to eat out 3 times a day.

    They even have different phone lines for: customers that have owned for less than ONE year, customers that are under guarantee, and customers that have zilch. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON GE! Also, the feet on the front of this fridge scratch my floors unmercifully. They have never been right. I have already had them in for my dishwasher, too....That was a recall by them...I now wonder when the stove will "go". Yes, I have three units GE... They all match, that is, the Profile line....

    GE Profile Side by Side Refrigerator - GE Consumer Relations Failure. Purchased the high end looking GE French Door Style refrigerator in 2010 - about $3,000 purchase price. Just outside of the one year warranty, the refrigerator stopped cooling sufficiently. Spoke with GE Consumer Relations Department, and they agreed that although just outside of the one year warranty, the refrigerator should not have failed; GE extended the warranty for one year. I lost use of the fridge for 2 months in the middle of the summer.

    Now, just outside of the extended one year warranty, the refrigerator fails again, with exactly the same symptoms. It is now a little more than two years old. Call GE Consumer Relations again with all of the earlier documentation, including its promise that they will keep a digital record of the earlier problem. This time, I get a very friendly, 'yes man' - we will take care of it, just send me all of the earlier service tickets, "It's not going to be a problem, we will fix it...." etc. Now going on two months later, can't manage to get the GE guy on the phone to determine exactly how they are planning to help me.

    Now about two months later, without the use of the fridge, sitting in my kitchen, with no substantive assistance or help from GE, I have had to rent a fridge in the interim. GE then notifies me weeks later that they will split the costs of the repairs to this repeatedly defective, lemon fridge. Clearly backing off from the "we will take care of it, don't worry" initial talking points.

    If you are not prepared to buy a replacement refrigerator if yours breaks down, DO NOT BUY A GE REFRIGERATOR. The GE Consumer Relations Department has a fancy voice mail system that is manned by people who will read you the appropriate talking points for your particular problem. The presentation is clear, convincing and designed to lead you, the consumer to believe that they will replace or repair your defective refrigerator quickly and with little time investment or hassle on your party. THE REALITY is that you will have to repeatedly call, email, mail and fax GE in order to get a simple return phone call. And the support people will let a couple of weeks go by between return calls.

    Clearly the strategy is to delay, deny and defend against any repair claims. It must work, because they keep doing it. The GE plan seems to be to frustrate its customers until they stop calling for help, make it less expensive to just buy a new refrigerator rather than to try to get GE's help, and inconvenience its customers to such extreme lengths that most people will just give up. These refrigerators are defective, and scheduled to fail. GE should recall them, refund people their money, and get out of the business if they can't handle it. They should stick to jet engines and PCBs. I am now looking to purchase a new refrigerator. Anything but a GE fridge. Anyone in the market for a three year old, $3K fridge that doesn't work?

    We purchased GE Profile 3 and 1/2 years ago. In the past 2 years, we have had the repairman at our home 5 times. First incident, it was leaking water under the meat drawer creating a sheet of ice. The motherboard was replaced for a few hundred dollars plus the service call fee. Second time, the same problem except the freezer was not freezing food properly and ice looked clear and watery. Another motherboard was put in and a new ice line... 3rd time, an addition of Freon for the same reasons. 4th time, more Freon added and lines cleaned and dusted... 5th time, GE agreed to waive fees, but could not give us a warranty for any parts. I agreed, but now the freezer is not freezing at all and the ice makers isn't working at all. We are using our cheap overflow fridge/freezer in the garage to hold bags of ice and frozen foods. Amazingly, that fridge works great. I will not call GE repair again. We will be purchasing a new refrigerator this weekend. I wish I had read all the reviews before purchasing the Profile. It has been a big expense and a colossal waste of our time. GE has offered to give us $200.00 towards a new GE refrigerator... No, thank you.

    We purchased a GE Profile in Oct. 2011 from Sears. Also purchased additional service protection. Two months in the Sensor broke on the fridge. Everything in the fridge froze. Then the liner had a hairline crack due to it being frozen. The technician even said there was no sign of impact. Sears would only stick plastic over it. (We did not allow that due to germs around the plastic.) Then the ice maker broke. Again Sears only has a Mon. or Friday repair days. 6 weeks later it was fixed. Then I was getting so many ice cubes, that I would open the freezer drawer and they would fly out everywhere. Not long after..... the freezer went up to 18 and fridge to 48. Sears once again came, but it was cooling down by then..... but they ordered a new circuit/electronic board. 1 week later, when it was changed, it had a burn on the circuit board. NOW the ice maker won't again. I called Sears to have another technician come out. Ends up the technician was told it was for our microwave. Frustration with Sears!! Had to buy a dishwasher a month ago, went to Home Hardware, NOT Sears. When is enough... enough?

NOW I'm told it needs an inverter board... Good thing I did purchase the extended warranty plan, only problem is now the warranty company tells me I have exhausted my 5-year warranty. Of course the fine print reads that they will only spend a certain percentage of the refrigerator's value to fix it!! Not sure what my opinion is on the warranty plan, but I'm sure I'll be buying a refrigerator sooner than planned and even more sure it won't be a G.E.

    I am a GE inventors and consumer of home appliances. I purchased a refrigerator along with other kitchen appliances when we did a remodel of our kitchen about 6 years ago. From the beginning I have had nothing but issues with the refrigerator and have placed over 20 calls to get it fixed and/or replaced. We purchased the extended warranty and it is so bad that they will not even extend it another year at this point. Through the years we have told GE and the warranty company that this is a lemon and asked for a replacement model. It was declined and now after 6 years GE has agreed to give us a discount.

    The issue is that they are now giving us the discount based on the refrigerator being old. This is completely unfair and very aggravating as a consumer and shareholder. If you look at the records you can see clearly that this matter was not taken care of as it should have been. We are not asking for something for free. We are simply asking GE to do what is right and fair to get a new GE refrigerator at a fair discount amount not based on how old the refrigerator is now...

    I purchased a GE Profile refrigerator in November of 2007. I bought the extended warranty as well, and during the time that was covered, I had no issues at all. As soon as the warranty expired, my refrigerator began leaking water and forming what the technician termed an "ice ball". I was told that this was a common problem and that I would need to purchase a heater kit. After much complaining, they offered to cover the cost of the kit, but I have to pay for the labor and of course, the trip fee. I am so disappointed with GE and their lack of true "customer care". Apparently this is a problem with many of the Profile models, so I can't understand why they won't issue a formal recall to pay for the fix. It shouldn't be the customer who has to pay.

What I don't understand is why these problems occur again and again. Why do I need to pay? They should fix the problem, do a complete job and not charge me any money for their mistakes.

I replaced the thermistor and the refrigerator began working again. Now in 2013 the refrigerator has stopped working again.

    It's a fridge from hell (!!) beautiful when it works, but with issues. The TEMPERATURE just shoots up on both sides every once in a while for no apparent reason and it goes for days. The Freezer side goes high to almost 50 degrees and the other side to b/w 57 & 60 degrees. The CONTROLS DON'T work. When you press to lower the temps, the temps jump back and up immediately. The filter is new and everything seems okay. We have lost much. The FREEZER stopped dispensing ice (crushed or cubes) almost a year after purchase. Ice cubes are made and after the bin is full, the motor will not roll and no ice is dispensed. I have called GE a couple of times to get troubleshooting tips and the result is no good. They always steer you towards the repair department, very simple steps that should have taken them 5 to 10 min. to help a customer. It looks like they don't care too much about customer satisfaction.

    My combination GE Cabinet Oven still looks as new as the day we moved into this house. The only issue is that the Microwave oven on top does not heat anything anymore.

I was told to use WD-40 once a month to help with this problem. Now, we have a new problem that water seems to come from the back of the freezer and trickles into the well at the bottom of the unit.

However, you cannot talk to anyone at GE once your unit is out of warranty. So now, I am trying to find the answer online before spending any more money on something that might not be a major issue.

Yes: dented door, defective ice maker, Misleading Information re frequency of water filter change, blown motherboard and blown motherboard. The dented door was replaced by the original salesman. I received a new ice maker from GE and was told I could replace it myself. I was then told that the water filter had to be changed every 3 months (not 6 months as advertised) in order for the ice maker to function properly. Cost per filter is at least $35 apiece if you shop hard online.

    MB blowout #1 occurred shortly before the 5th anniversary in June, 2012. It was covered by the extended warranty I purchased from Lowe's. MB blowout #2 occurred the day before yesterday, one year + 3 weeks after the last one was replaced. Actually, what happened is that everything in the freezer melted and the refrigerator went to 55+ degrees. Hours later, after I flicked the breaker on and off a few times, it started working again. Then it was off again and now back on. For how long?

    At the suggestion of a very reputable local appliance repair outfit (Stanley Repair at Stanleysservice.com here in Richmond, VA), I ended up at the GE consumer affairs department (800-386-1215, option #5). Since I am now outside of any warranty, the best I could negotiate was the purchase of a new motherboard from them for $87.58 which included tax and shipping. That board retails anywhere from $170 to $215 online, plus tax and shipping. GE is giving me a 5-year warranty on the new board, which is pretty good, I almost hate to admit.

    I researched installation of the board at Partselect.com (another great outfit) and it looks like a piece of cake. So that's where I am with yet another GE product. Like one of those gorgeous peaches in the grocery store, you buy it, you take it home; you bite into it and ... p-t-ui!!!

    GE Monogram items purchased - 6 years ago we purchased and installed an entire GE Monogram appliance kitchen: cooktop, cooktop vent, dishwasher, built-in full sized freezer, built-in full sized refrigerator, built-in microwave, built-in double ovens and a wine refrigerator. We bought these all from Pacific Sales for a total purchase of $18,000.00 + tax and installation. Installation was contracted with the preferred Pacific Sales installer in our area. Albeit they are independent contractors.

    Reasons for purchasing GE Monogram - Our research told us these were high-end, professional, quality appliances that would have a huge history of quality standing behind them for longevity and reliability. GE Monogram longevity and reliability - WE HAVE ALL OF THE REPAIR BILLS FOR ALL OF THESE REPAIRS.

    REFRIGERATOR: Within one month of installation, it was developing mold inside the refrigerator especially behind the drawers and shelves on the door. This was eventually fixed, but we still get mold. We asked to have some of the drawers and trays replaced due to the mold. GE flatly refused. Approximately 1 year later, we had a problem that it would not stay cold and had to have it repaired. This cost approx $350.00, plus all of the food that was thrown away. Approximately 18 months later, the same thing happened again. Again, approximately $350.00 plus all of the food that was thrown away. Today, SUNDAY June 30, 2013, it has the same problem. We can't get it repaired until hopefully tomorrow, Monday. Again, it will most likely be another $350.00 and the loss of a FULL REFRIGERATOR of food. We just went to the market. Swell.

    FREEZER: In 2011 the freezer ceased to work due to a buildup of ice in the bottom, preventing air circulation. Repair bill was $350.00 + loss of a freezer FULL of food. In 2012 the generator went out. Cost of repair was $1,400.00 + the loss of a freezer full of food. The freezer was down for 1 week due to unavailability of parts via GE. COOKTOP: 2012 the electronic ignitors quit working. Had to be replaced. Cost of repairs approx $200.00. As of today, they are starting to act up again and getting ready to be replaced again.

    MICROWAVE: In 2012 the magneto went out and needed to be replaced. Approx cost of repairs was $300.00 and no use for 1 week, again waiting on part from GE. The first part delivered ended up being the wrong part, which was ordered and needed to be reshipped. Another week. DOUBLE OVENS: Earlier this year, the fan bearing in the top oven went out and needed to be replaced.

    DISHWASHER: This leaks when it is running. There is usually a puddle of water under the door once it is done and there are usually drip marks down the front of it as it completes it cycle... I need to have it looked at as well. COOK TOP VENT: It runs fine. We have not had repairs to this... yet. There is a truly annoying thing about this appliance. The bezels on the halogen lights in the vent just fall off on a regular basis. Scares the crap out of us when they fall off, bounce off the stainless steel edge of the cook top and roll across the tile floor. Picking them up is deadly for the skin as they are extremely hot when the lights are on and can't be picked up without protection. Been burned badly a couple of times at first. This has happened since day one.

    We bought these in good faith. $18,000.00 seven years ago was and is a lot of money for appliances. We believed the GE brand to be reputable and solid products. Our experience with our GE Monogram Professional Appliances is that they are far and away from professional grade appliances. We are HUGELY disappointed, disgusted and sick of paying the repair bills every several months. The freezer and refrigerator are the biggest disappointment, especially for how expensive they are and the vast amount of food that has been thrown away due their consistent failure. We now keep a small refrigerator running in the garage as a backup should they fail again. Currently, it is full with food that will spoil the quickest waiting for a repairman for this newest failure.

    Bottom line, we will NEVER EVER RECOMMEND GE APPLIANCES TO ANYONE and in fact recommend they RUN AS FAST AS THEY CAN FROM GE APPLIANCES BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE. By the way, we don't send in complaints like this. We figure things can break periodically and need to be fixed. This has been, in our opinion, excessive!! Especially given the price, the age of the items and the claimed quality of these PROFESSIONAL quality appliances. We believe we should be compensated in some way for all of the continuing repair bills at minimum. We would like GE to do something that makes these constant repairs stop, especially those related to spoiled food. OH, the wine refrigerator has not had any problems to date. GE can build a good wine refrigerator it appears.

    Absolutely the worst experience ever. The home came with all GE Profile appliance including the fridge. ALL HORRIBLE. When GE came out the 6th time to repair fridge, the guys said it was unrepairable and then GE said, "Sorry, it's not under warranty anymore." THEY FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM 5 TIMES!! This is obviously a factory error. PLUS, we have talked to several neighbors who have had same/similar problems. I am filing for a small claims suit against GE on Monday. GE is LAME!!!

    My GE side-by-side model GSL25JFXNLB has had problems since purchase (27 months old). At 4 months, the ice maker failed. It was replaced under warranty. At 11 months, the ice maker failed again. It was replaced under warranty. At the same time, the repair tech noticed the freezer compressor was bad so it was replaced, under warranty. Now, the freezer will not get cold and the ice maker won't work. Now that the unit is 2+ years old, GE wants me to go through an authorized repair provider at my expense. I have already lost 3 days of pay and a freezer full of food. GE does not stand behind their products OR their repairs.

    We bought all GE Profile appliances just 5 years ago. The dishwasher leaves grout and spots all over glasses. The stove shuts over if it gets above 400 degrees and the buttons freeze and won't work. THE FRIDGE is the worst. I constantly have to wipe out mold. The ice maker already went out - I had to replace. The fan in the fridge went out and I called service to have it replaced - $99 service charge plus the part and labor almost $400... He was here literally 15 minutes! Now, the only person to touch it is GE repairman and, lo and behold, now the little ice shoot door that is supposed to close all of a sudden gets stuck causing frost/ice formation in the freezer AND the water line leaked (we KNOW there was no leak whatsoever before the service call) causing severe water damage to our wood floors, cabinets and even entered the adjoining room wall and cabinets. Our entire kitchen has to be replaced. Thanks, GE. NEVER again will I buy a GE product.

    GE Refrigerator Model # PSHS6RGXCDSS - For the last 1 and 1/2 years, we have had a problem with the shelving and baskets in the freezer falling. I have been thinking that it was the weight of the items but after close inspection, it appears that the interior walls have expanded. Just recently, the cup drive at the rear of the icemaker auger broke. On June 14, 2013, I phoned my extended warranty company about the cup drive and the shelving problem. They advised that the plastic cup drive part was not covered. They also advised that the shelving problem was not covered either as the problems seem to be a design flaw. They gave me the number to GE's customer relations and I called. GE's response was that for around $230, they would send me a shelving conversion kit to rectify the problem.

    When asked if it was a known design flaw, they would not say. I told them I would wait on their recommendation to spend my money to rectify their engineers' screw-up. Today, I went to a local appliance parts store to get the plastic cup drive to keep the ice from going out the back of the ice bin ($46.50). I explained to the salesman about the shelving problem. He got on the phone and contacted GE Parts to see what he would find out. He was transferred to service dept. Service department stated that was a parts problem and was transferred back to parts. When nobody answered, he hung up. He then called a reputable local appliance repair service that is an authorized GE repair service.

    He was told by them that GE knows about the problem and it is caused by the defrost cycle lasting too long but that GE will not recognize this as a manufacturer defect. He stated that the shelving kit is what GE is pushing for the repair and is charging the customer and not owning up to their design problem. Maybe a letter from an attorney and lawsuit in my local small claims court will get GE's attention. It will cost them more in attorney fees than what they would get from me in the purchase of the shelving kit.

    I have had my GE Profile french door refrigerator for 5 years. I purchased it at Lowe’s and had the extended warranty that expired 6 months ago. I had a serviceman out several times during the warranty to check the fridge because my food was freezing in the refrigerator. He told me to keep the energy saver switch in the off position. My icemaker stopped working a year or so ago but started working again and the plastic parts in my freezer are breaking due to the cold and ice. Now my icemaker is not working again.

    I did the recommended troubleshooting and diagnostic test and nothing. It also seems that the temperature on my freezer keeps going up and when I tried to reset it goes to -6 but will not cool to that. When I pressed the colder button for the freezer, it should take me down -1, -2, -3, etc., but it won't. I took like the others paid $2,400 for this refrigerator and it is only 5 years old. GE customer service representative are curt and disrespectful. The service is nil. I'm disgusted and I sold my GE stock.

    GE refrigerator gss25lgmfww - I've had this refrigerator for 11 years. 3 years into it, the motor that crush and dispense the ice went bad. 7 1/2 years later, the motherboard shorted out. Looking at the underside of the board, it had flash marks from being so close to the metal frame of the refrigerator, no flash paper to protect it. At the same time, the temperature controller shorted out due to the motherboard going bad. It was impossible to clean the coils in the back of the refrigerator. Very poor research and development. I've had other GE products that also haven't lasted long. This will be the last GE product I purchase. Years ago, a refrigerator would last decades. Now you're lucky to last maybe 10. The government needs to come in and require them to warranty them for at least 15 years. If not, we'll be filling up a lot of dumps really quick. I had a friend who went to China to see about manufacturing an appliance. The first question asked to him was, how long do you want it to last?

    First, the refrigerator has always dripped condensation off inside the fridge since the date of purchase. This past weekend, the refrigerator put itself in defrost mode three times in five days. The refrig ticked like a time bomb, had an orange light glowing in the back of the freezer and had the normal "defrosty" smell. Unplugging the refrig to stop the defrost and get the unit to reset does not work. I was forced to call the repairman who replaced the freezer fan, which NEVER did work correctly. The temperature control and timer in the defrost unit was also changed. The result? GE billing me $200 for repair.

    Four days later, the refrig put itself into defrost again with the ice in the freezer again defrosting. I turned up the temperature control and waited nearly four minutes for the defrost to turn off and the compressor to turn on. Obviously, the unit is not repaired. My opinion is that GE is foisting poorly designed products with defective parts off on the unsuspecting American public. Forget about customer service. All they want is your money. It’s all about making service jobs these days.

    GE PROFILE PGCS1RKZSS - We bought this refrigerator in January 2012, and the one-year warranty expired in January 2013. This is a french door, two-drawer freezer. Frost has built up on the freezer drawers for the last two or three months. There is condensation periodically on the door dispenser. Today, the service tech came out to assess. He called GE Tech Support but got no help. He suggested we replace the seals on the freezer drawers and called the store to get an estimate for the parts. The store was unable to give him an estimate at this time, so the tech will have to call me with the estimate.

    Like so many other reviewers on this site, I am also becoming very unhappy with GE refrigerators. Even if we replace the seals, it may not solve the problem, and we're not about to keep throwing money into this unit. The store where we bought it has a really good name; however, we won't replace this fridge - if necessary - with another GE!!!

    For the last eighteen months, I have had numerous problems with my GE Profile refrigerator. Five visits from GE repairmen and now they say it was the motherboard the entire time. NEVER buy GE appliances. I was stupid and purchased 8 for my new home. READ all the warnings and take them seriously unless you want to be sorry.
