Bought our freezer in August, 2022.  After a couple months the lid would not stay open on it's own. Contacted GE and they set me up with a local appliance repair business.  The tech came out and said it needed new hinges.  New hinges were ordered which took a long time.  Finally yesterday the repair man came to my house and installed new hinges.  After installing the new hinges the lid STILL would not say open.  He said he would have to research the problem and get back to us.  I read some other reviews and other people are having the same problem.
