Default Have you had problems with GE refrigerator

Although it a refrigerator, we recently had a problem with our GE Profile induction stove. Ordinarily, I do take extended warranties if the appliances are younger. This time I let it lapse. A GE appliance man responded to the repair call last December and informed me that GE no longer made the single part for my nearly three year old stove. In total, the replacement part would have to be a whole unit, which would cost with the parts, labor and visit, over $1100. After calling customer service, they agreed to replace the needed part for $250 plus tax and labor, in which I agreed, but since it was not in stock, I would have to wait for the part to be made. I was given a case manager that informed me when to expect the part. She gave me a date, and each month it was never produced, until finally in April I had a working stove and oven. We made due with a microwave, and induction cookplate that I purchased, and my good old George Foreman grill.

GE customer service made good on their agreement, and the case manager checked in with me regularly, but would I go GE again? Probably not- especially when there was an irreplaceable part on a rather young appliance.
