Product review (1 stars): GE is Bad for America
I expect appliances to work a long time. With kids, husband, jobs, bills, medical appts., pets, school projects, health, family events/issues,etc can we really afford time to continually repair and chase after the things that should be plugging along without an issue? No, of course not. I loved the look of this refrigerator, and judging by the other reviews, it's lasted me just over two years (longer than most) before it's gone totally on the fritz, but I can't afford a new refrigerator every two years. My job actually depends on this refrigerator. So this refrigerator being screwed up really screws up my life, on multiple levels, so I don't care how it looks anymore. It's a complete eyesore. GE should be ashamed of the lack of quality. This appliance started out fairly quiet, and has become progressively louder. Literally, it sounds like a Johnson boat motor at times. My S-I-L was over and was there to witness it literally start screaming. I said, "I'm glad you were here to hear that noise because no one would believe me that my refrigerator just screamed." I know it must be a motor, or a belt, or some combo but the point is, it shouldn't be happening. I had a P.O.S. Kenmore that is in the carport, over 20 yrs. old that still works. It's ugly as sin, energy hog, but I take a weird sort of pride in the fact that it's still kicking, and saving my job, literally, because my fancy new fridge can't do anything. The GE had issues in the beginning with randomly freezing things, mostly on the top shelves. We worked around that. Frozen eggs, frozen veggies. Then it got progressively louder. Literally screaming on occasion. Now the refrigerator part is not cooling at all. Not even sure how many $$$ groceries I have lost. When your appliances do not work, it's demoralizing. Really. Food rotting, can't feed your family. Can't wash clothes. Can't cook a proper meal. We all really really depend on our appliances. When GE makes an inferior product, it's demoralizing, because we depend on that product so very much to keep the entire family running as smoothly as we can. GE is bad for America. Bad for Morale. I want something I can depend on, and I'd be loyal till the day I died. This product is not that.
