Grrrr - GE and the refrigerator saga ...

[Blue_Frog]

Wow -- thats awful!! I've been trying to convince my BF that we need a new fridge (since the one we have is about 25 years old and leaks water sometimes when the drip tray gets overfull) -- I DEFINATELY won't go with a GE now (there were a couple on the shortlist of models we liked).

It also looks like a bunch of other people have problems with them as well --

Wow, it sounds like GE doesn't "bring good things to life" after all. That really sucks Karen.

I haven't read your saga yet, but I will later tonight when I have more time.

Our fridge is a Hotpoint from Sears and has been fine for the 3-4 years we've had it.

MANY of the once well known reliable name brands have since purchased unknown foriegn company brands and slapped their own lables on it. Many of the once reliable Kenmore name brands may actually be some unknown forigien company bought out by Kenmore and just has a Kenmore label slapped on it.

Always do research and check reviews before buying any expensive appliance/furniture/electronic item!

Hope things get better for you.

Karen, My brother recommended admiral and recommended the freezer on the bottom type fridge's.

It's only been 8 weeks. If you have your receipt, take it to the nearest Home Depot store and demnd either a new unit or your money back in store credit to get a new one. THEY can then send it back to GE as an RMA and it won't cost them a dime.

I agree with Vela, we've gotten things at Home Depot that didn't work out. A swamp cooler that wasn't right for us and a cracked toliet. They were super good about taking the items back, they gave us our money back on the cooler and a new toliet. It sure wouldn't hurt to try. You need to get a fridge that works right.

Don't buy a GE dishwasher either. The motor failed twice and leaked water ALL OVER THE PLACE! Then, the 2nd guy that came to fix it informed that their dishwashers are only built to last 18 months.
