Beginning soon ( by contract) all appliance will be Whirlpool.

Fields Co will service . Whirlpool does not have corporate maintenance.

GE was underbid significantly.

Developer compensated with large signing fee. ( over 1 million)

Info from fiend at Whirlpool.


So unless he is wrong ..........

Really? Wow, that's nice, though I've been fortunate and not had problems with my GE appliances, but I know MANY have. On any day, you'd see one or two, maybe more, GE service trucks somewhere in TV.

Devilishly funny. Typo, I presume.

p.s., I'm not a fan of Whirlpool, but I still got a big kick out of the post.

As my refrigerator howls and the dishwasher grinds away I say good riddance to GE. Too late for me but good for future buyers.

I'm sure the developer was only interested in getting a quality product at a fair price, and that million dollar plus signing bonus had no affect on his final decision

Just how many Whirlpool customers will be told they need to run the faucet until its hot in order to use the dishwasher.....even though it has a 2 hr delay setting.

Wow. Those are some pretty strong undocumented or unproven statements about the "signing fee" and the bid. I hope the posted info from the "fiend" at Whirlpool does not cause issues for you.

i heard the signing fee was $100,000,000...ng

I for one am glad GE is gone. Took me 4 months to get my refrigerator replaced by GE. Their appliances have really gone down the tubes. Glad for the new people they're gone.
