I purchased my home in September 2024 and it came with a brand new washer and dryer (both under warranty). Since then the igniter on my dryer has broken 3 times causing me to be without a dryer for multiple weeks at a time. This last time I haven’t had a dryer for 2 months. The servicer came to my house and deemed the dryer unrepairable. I have been on the phone with GE multiple times within the past week and they have said over the phone that I would be getting a new dryer. Now today 5/7/25 they email me that they can replace the part again or I can buy a new dryer at a discounted cost. I let them know that I would like a new dryer under the warranty since the same part has broken three times in less 6 months (September-April). They are unwilling to work with me, and are constantly giving me conflicting information each time I speak to someone on the phone.Business Response

I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot on 4/9/25 ot was delivered on 4/19/25. GE dryer GTD58EBSVWS. Less than 1 week after delivery dryer was not drying clothes and when running made a loud thumping/banging sound. Repair man came out assessed the dryer and determined the dryer needs a new heating element and drum. He also put a huge dent on the top edge of the dryer.

I have a GE refrigerator with a simple problem. I installed an R/O system and wanted to bypass the refrigerator filter to restore proper flow through the dispenser. So I installed the GE Bypass plug as instructed. Now I get an "Err" message and no water. After filling out three contact forms which received no response and four phone calls. No one in GE knows what the "Err" error message is and how to address it. Know one knows why the their own GE bypass plug does work or what to do about it. No one has any interest in tracking done the solution. One GE technician suggest I hired a repairman to come and look at the refrigerator at my expense. How would a repairman know how to fix it, if the GE technician don't know. I would assume that since their filters have a chip in them to force you to buy their expensive filters, that the plug would need one as well and since the plug they sold me send an error message, it must be missing the chip. But they won't send me another plug.Business Response

On march 22,2025 I purchased a washer and dryer from Home Depot. I had a situation where they sold me it when they knew they couldn’t hook it up so I was going back and forth with them for that situation where I didn’t take my dryer out the box. Once I did the dryer didn’t start. Home Depot told me to call he because I don’t have a warranty with them but I do have one with ge. I called ge and they send me a technician that said I needed a motor. They ordered the motor and was supposed to to come to replace it. Once another technician came he said it wasn’t the motor it a defective part in the dryer and it’s a manufactured problem. He said they need to replace it but once he gave me the service # to give to them they said they not replacing but he can fix it. He was suppose to order the part then but no. They gave me another appt and that appt he call and said did they replace it and once I said no they said you suppose to replace it today he said let me give you a callback so I can see why they didn’t replace it. He never called back and he ordered the part that day they told me once I called to ask why he didn’t come. He ordered the part that day when it should have been ordered and replace that day. So they made me another appt and that appt came and he was a no show and when I called them to see where he at they said he in route to me but never came. I called back they was closed. I called the next day and they keep giving me another appt day but it’s still not getting repaired and can’t get no one to repair or trying to help me get it repaired. I bought this so called new dryer and I never got any use out of it and spend over 600 dollars and they not trying to help. I need help I don’t have money to waste and have kids that need to have their clothes dried. I’m still using money to take them to the laundry and I shouldn’t have to when I bought the dryer.

Over a month-long unresolved repair/replacement issue with a broken GE gas stove. • On 11DEC25, I purchased GE Gas Range GGF600AVBB (SN GZ090677Q) from Lowes (Invoice 75746) in Goldsboro, NC, for $800.63. • Problem began April 5, 2025. Despite multiple calls and interactions with GE representatives, no progress has been made due to the unresponsiveness of GE and US Appliance. Below are interaction dates w/ Lowes, GE and US Appliance with results: • 5APR25 – No one to answer call. • 7APR25 – Called talked to ***** who transferred me to ******* (Case Mngr). ******* made appt. with US Appliance for 9APR25. • 8APR25 – US Appliance inspected stove. be in touch 24-48hours. • 9 &13APR25 – called US Appliance. Left msgs, no call back. • 15APR25 – Called GE to for repair status. GE attempted contact w/ US Appliance by email/calling. No answer. • 18APR25- Called GE status. Talked to Melissa (CSR) and Laura (CSR Manager), told GE won't consider replacing stove until 25 days have passed with no repair. Asked GE to reimburse of the increased costs of our family having to order food b/c stove not working. Offered a gift card as “good faith gesture”. • 18APR25- Asked Lowes to stand behind their product and make this purchase right so I could have a working stove, they work w/ GE on defective stove. Manager offered $100 credit toward the purchase of a new one wouldn't exchange stove. • 22APR25- original case manager from GE called. No update on repair, bawled me out saying they don't having time to deal w/ me. Said I could have talked to anyone, it didn't have to be her. I explained I had talked to others. o ******* (Cs Mngr) unable to get a status from US Appliance. offered a partial reimbursement ($250) for a self-arranged repair or restarting the service process, further delaying resolution. I feel wholly unsupported and burdened by the financial and emotional strain of not having a working stove, especially with a sick child and recent holidays.Business Response

Our team tried reaching out to her via email where they have requested a proof of purchase, pictures and a few other items before proceeding with her claim.

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

Microwave, 2 months from purchase went bad. Called GE. They said they'd only give me $102 on a Goodwill certificate. I said I paid 180.34. she said send receipt picture and did. I got that amount. I attempted 3 times to order on 3/30/25. Their system glitched 3 times and my card was charged twice. One was returned that day, the other 4/2/25 for no reason. Card is valid . Meanwhile they hiked prices and I was told it would be adjusted, just order another. I did but it totaled 214.75. I called and consumer relations was rude. Said "we won't give you more than what you paid minus taxes". I said I understand that, but I tried 3 times before the price hike to order, and GE site glitched and returned to my card $186.83 twice for no reason. Now I will be out 27.92 more because of trouble on your end, which was confirmed by my credit card company! All because of their inferior appliance 2 months old. She would not budge, and I have been told by multiple representatives false information of what to do, who I should order from, who can help me with my problem and make adjustments. They sent me to Bodewell, GE Appliances, told me I should have ordered from myappstore, because they're a lot cheaper (after I had already ordered from geappliances.com when told to)!! I have 3 case numbers, multiple hours on the phone, total confusion, and it will end up costing me around 30 dollars to get my microwave replaced under warranty. This company seems to not care one bit, is unable to keep anything straight, and refuses to make customers whole. It should never be this difficult. It's insane.Business Response

We purchased a café by GE appliance. The first is the 36 professional all gas range and the second is their fridge to match. We have a multiple occasions. Try to escalate to them to get both remediated as both have not been working for months. When you fill out the form to try and even get a service they're charging for transportation fee before they'll even come and look at the fridge and oven. The oven will work sometimes but does not heat up on every occasion to the temperature. It states it should and half the burner stopped working. The fridge has to be in a much higher setting to get a cool temperature. The filter works on and off and the lights keep going off.Business Response
