Product review (2 stars): Definite bummer
Wholly apart from asking its NBC broadcast division to cover up every legitimate question ever asked on the current White House Occupant so as to elect him (and continuing to pander to the occupant's every desire, like a dutiful lapdog) --- GE's current business model apparently requires peddling appliances that don't work well, in order to sell unwary consumers ever more costly repair contracts.

We bought one of these GE models some six years ago, and like the previous reviewer were quite disappointed.

First off, the mother board went kaflooey within the first 13 months --- naturally, right after the fridge warranty ran out.

That added a $380 repair bill to the $1,200 cost of the fridge.

We then bought a three-year GE repair contract --- just in case. That ran another $400 for the next few years, but it was a good thing we had it.

For lo and behold, the mother board went bust again --- this time along with the computer on the refrigerator rear. Two computers down, at once.

Additionally, we required a new door magnet.

Finally, when the repairman came out because the door was not closing and bent, he said the door can't withstand the weight of soft drink bottles. Meaning, the fridge door --- where many many people store their bottled beverages --- is built with material too weak to hold them.

Um, excuse me. A product with shelves ought to be able to hold stuff on them. If there is a weight limit, post a warning sign on the shelves of the new item. GE posted no such warning.

So we have a bent door and can do nothing about it.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. The door paint chips very easily, too, thanks to the slightly ridged surface "look."

Last year, GE called to again renew our repair contract, and now wanted another $500 or so to cover three more years. This time, we told them to go fly a kite.

If and when this fridge again breaks down, we'll be in the market for a new, reliable fridge. Definitely not a General Electric model.

We were reluctant to consider GE for our&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/washer/dp/B007RWOUSM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">washer</a>&nbsp;when the old one broke; Only advice from a happy parent convinced us. The washer works, at least.

As for fridges, and pretty much every other GE appliance, we will definitely not include them on our shopping list next time around. As to GE broadcast news, you can bet, we do not watch that trash, either.
