GE GSHS6PGYSS Review

GE GSHS6PGYSSI am a little biased as a relative helps make GE motors.I have owned this for 5 months now.It replaced a used Frigidaire I had for a short time, which was 14 years old.It really replaced a very old, very small top freezer refrigerator I had for 16 years.

The GE is quiet.The compressor makes little noise.It is on the wall opposite our bedroom.I do not hear it in the bedroom.It's not an annoying noise.It is just barely audible in the kitchen.

This is real stainless.Keeping it fingerprint clean is a chore with young kids.We just let it go and clean it on the weekend.Takes about 10 minutes or so using stainless cleaner to make it sharp again.Without kids this would probably not be an issue.

The water maker and ice maker work very well.The filter gives the water a good taste.

The layout of the compartments is excellent for our needs, as you can see by the pictures.It has more than enough room for our use.

If we overload the freezer, the door will sometimes not completely close.The door open sensor does not always sense this.This results in ice build up inside the freezer, and condensation on the outside. Don't overload the freezer and this doesn't happen.

We got an excellent deal on this model.I feel we got a great fridge for the money.

Electrolux : EI23CS55GS 22.5 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless Steel Review

Electrolux : EI23CS55GS 22.5 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless SteelThis refrigerator looks beautiful.It will grace your kitchen with beauty.

BUT, here is a list of my problems w/ the fridge:

1-Water dispenser:our fridge water dispenser worked great for about 6 months.Then, from one day to the next, the water dispenser ceased functioning.I changed the filter (as the owners manual specified to do).Which was a $55 fix (the filters aren't especially cheap).That didn't work.Turns out the water line in the door runs too close to the inside of the freezer and it freezes solid.The only fix is a new door.We got a new door on Christmas eve, and by 1/2 the water line was frozen again.It's a design flaw.

2-Love the glass shelves, but don't put your milk gallons on them.We have a number of scratches on the shelf where we put the milk.Putting milk in the door is very awkward for me.

3-The chill drawer freezes stuff - regardless of the temp set.It's the one in the middle that looks like a cold cut drawer - it's not.It will freeze cans of soda (a mistake on my part) and they can explode in there and make a big, hard to clean mess.No matter the temp setting I select for this drawer, it freezes everything.I've limited what goes in that drawer to alcoholic beverages (that won't freeze).So I lose the space of an entire drawer.

4-Bottom (veggie/crisper) drawers do not come out.Can't wipe out the back.Doesn't get messy down there too much, but it's something I like to do periodically.Frustrating.

Am currently waiting for another tech to come out and look at the door.But no matter how many times they come out, the water dispenser will freeze solid again and again because of said design flaw.

All that being said, the freezer does freeze, the fridge also refrigerates.But for the huge amount of $$ spent on the fridge, the functionality issues make me crazy.Could have saved a lot of $$ and gotten a plain fridge that does just the same thing.I would definitely not buy one again, nor would I suggest them to anyone I know to purchase. There have been multiple service calls about the fridge.

I had such high hopes for this fridge - and frankly I feel duped.Thought for the $$ that it would be great.At the time of purchase I couldn't find any reviews on it (Jan of 2009).Hopefully this will help you in your selection.I just wanted it to do what it was supposed to do.

Maytag : MFC2061HEW 20 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator - White Review

Maytag : MFC2061HEW 20 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator - WhiteWe bought our unit on 09/01/2005.
On 09/27/2005, we had our first service call: "Temp in upper part of unit is at 63 degrees; adjust damper." (I'm copying this from the receipt.)
On 10/11/2005, we had our second service call: "Unit no longer dispenses water."
On 11/17/2005, we had our third service call: "Water dispenser froze up after 10/11 service."
On 12/08/2005, we had our fourth service call: "Water dispenser frozen again."
On 12/29/2005, we had our fifth service call: "Water dispenser is freezing again."
On 02/14/2006, we had our sixth service call: "Water tank freezing. Tech adv to replace control board."
Upon replacement of the electronic control board, the problems ceased.
Needless to say, however, we were not pleased with having to deal with these issues, which spanned a period of five months. In all fairness, the issues were covered by the warranty, which Maytag agreed to extend an additional six months. However, I cannot in good conscience recommend the unit.

Samsung RSG257AA 24.1 cu. ft. Counter-Depth Side by Side Refrigerator with 4 Spill Proof Glass Shelves, Twin Cooling Plus, Power Freeze/Cool Options, External Ice/Water Dispenser, In-Door Ice Maker, LED Lighting and Wine RackWe have an almost new Samsung side-by-side and the refrigerator side stopped cooling. When we called in the repairman he told us the compressor was not working and it would cost us $1000 to fix it because of course its not under arranty anymore. This refrigerator is only a couple of years old. I read more reviews on-line with tons (yes tons) of people expressing the same problem as well as many others. Also, when you call Samsung for help they treat you like it's your problem not theirs. What kind of company can knowingly sell people this highly overpriced garbage with a clear conscience? This ought to be illegal. DO NOT BUY A SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR. you will regret it.

Samsung 20 Cu Ft French Door Refrigerator with Twin cooling,Stainless Steel: RF217ABRS Review

Samsung 20 Cu Ft French Door Refrigerator with Twin cooling,Stainless Steel: RF217ABRSNEUTRAL:bottom freezer means fridge contents easy to see/access but freezer contents hard to see and older contents buried.shallow.

PROS:Attractive as these things go. Fits our space.Digital thermometers.Pleasant chimes sound out when pressing buttons. It seems to refrigerate and freeze enthusiastically and it is quieter than its predecessor. I trust it won't piddle on the floor like its predecessor did.It hasn't yet.

CONS:(i) Pull-out freezer door mechanism is very rough, metal scraping on metal. Floor models and most IKEA drawers perform better. QC?(ii)"EZ-Open Handle" on freezer drawer tends to detach in ordinary use."EZ-Broken Handle" is nearer the mark.This looks like it may be a design flaw.This didn't happen with the floor models, but it didn't occur to me that the handle should fall off, so I never thought to push the point while in the store.(iii) there are very few shelf height adjustments allowed.Consequently we removed one of the shelfs in order to fit milk and other ordinary-sized bottles.

Whirlpool Monochromatic Satina Side-By-Side Counter Depth Refrigerator Review

Whirlpool Monochromatic Satina Side-By-Side Counter Depth RefrigeratorWe just purchased this refrigerator and are loving the extra space we have in our kitchen with the counter depth design. However, the ice maker gets ice caught up in it after dispensing into a glass and the caught cubes melt and run down the front of the refrigerator. Also, we have similar problems with the water dispenser. The water continues to drip from the dispenser after filling a glass causing it to run down the dispensing flap and down the front of the refrigerator, causing a puddle on the floor. The dispenser shelf itself is not very deep and is a poor design. I'm also having trouble getting accustomed to the storage shelves in the refrigerator door. The very bottom (unadjustable) door shelf is so slim, the only possible thing you could use it for is a kid's juice box which makes it useless for myself and my husband. It fits absolutely nothing else! The three top door shelves adjust and hold gallon milk containers, but it could use one more lower notch to make them more useful for tall items. The fourth adjustable shelf is shallower. The overall space inside of the refrigerator & freezer is fine for us. I just wish we could've seen one of these models in person before we ordered it.

GE GSL22JFXLB Energy Star 22.0 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side Refrigerator (Clean Steel) Review

GE GSL22JFXLB Energy Star 22.0 Cu. Ft. Side-By-Side RefrigeratorI've always wanted a side by side, and finally saved up enough to purchase this one. I was told it was a good refrigerator, well made and all that. It did work for about 10 months before it started blitzing. Lucky for me it was before the warranty ended, not so lucky for me & 4 to 5 visits from the store repairman I believe my problems still have not been resolved. The weird thing is, my model number is GSH22JSXSA, yet its the same side by side using the model number GSH22JSXSS. No repair person can figure out why my model number ends in SA instead of SS, and yes my side by side is stainless steel so that's not it. One repair guy said he believes it is just a newer model as an explaination for this diversion, however plug the model in and nothing, absolutely nothing comes up as that model number. Ok, on to the problems. My s/s started freezing up every thing inside, and melt occured along the front of the door and along the sides which would of course freeze over. I had frozen drips hanging from the shelves and snow covered foods so thick you had to melt it off by running under warm water to know what was in those packages. The first repairman said the situation inside was our fault and occured due to leaving the door open. However, that was not the case, but he over-rode any thing I had to say to the contrary; was rude and very disrespectful. I work or probably would have noticed something that was happening with the s/s sooner. One day during the weekend I happened to open up the freezer section and actually felt heat. Now that was odd. I noticed moisture along the walls of the freezer section as every thing was melting and no evaporation of this moisture occured. The freezer section was really hot towards the top above the ice bin, melting the icecubes causing the half ice and water to coagulate around the auger. The defroster/heater wasn't turning off in a timely manner and melting everything. Weirder yet, after this thaw or what I called intermittent freezer hot flashes, the freezer would go to the opposite extreme of too cold refreezing all the foods stored there even at a setting of 1. Guess what, the door wasn't left opened and hey GE I discovered it wasn't our fault. On several occasions I smelled a burning scent and when I opened the freezer during an especially strong smell of something burning, the heat was more intense from within and the light bulb inside blew up. Not just burn out, it exploded and shards of tiny pieces of glass were on my food in the freezer and my feet on the floor. I still don't know why this happened, other than what the repair person said that the heaterwasn't working right and stays on too long.Heat rises and ice melts. He didn't seem concerned that this might be a safety issue, the defroster running too long doesn't explain the burning scent and why the light bulb disintegrated. Not to mention what could have happened if I had young children under foot. Mother board replaced, thermostat & sensor replaced, heater replaced, ice cube maker replaced. Once these things were fixed, well sort of, after months of ice cubes melting to the auger so ice didn't dispense I was advised after the last fix that the cubes should dispense just fine. Well the ice cubes still aren't being dispensed. I noticed after the last fix last Friday, ice cubes are not melting, staying separate, and so far no intense heat aka hot flashes. I can't say the freezer is running optimally, not yet... its still running colder than it should even at a setting of 1 "but" I haven't noticed burning smells recently, no snow is covering my foods, there are no frozen drips hanging from the shelves or icecycles along the sides and front. Its only been 3 days so all I can say is we will see. But I have to admit, I'm a bit afraid of this appliance, whether it will possibly heat up again and maybe cause a fire, I worry that the light bulb will explode again, I wonder if it will ever work like it should, & I'm hoping I didn't waste the money I spent to buy it. I had a choice, and picked this GE model out of many other brands. All my appliances are GE and all have been quality. GE, what happened with this s/s, what's going on?

Electrolux EI26SS55GS 25.9 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless Steel Review

Electrolux EI26SS55GS 25.9 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator w/IQ-Touch - Stainless SteelI actually have the EI26SS65GS which only differs slightly with the touch controls.

The high point of this refrigerator that makes it stand out from the crowd is that it is fully constructed in stainless steel while the others just have stainless steel cladding in the front but not on the sides.

This makes for a handsome refrigerator since this is not a counter depth model so the sides show.

Both freezer and refrigerator interior has ample storage. The interior lights have a nice effect of being initally dim at first and then fully brightens up.

A good point is the vacation mode you can set that saves electricityby not turning on the defrosting cycle when you are away.

My only grievance is the the design of the ice dispenser which delivers the ice (both cubes and crushed) which such force and intensity that the ice is spilled all over the floor and a clean up is always necessary. My 4 year old kid is so afraid to use it.

The delivery men do not install the water dispenser hose so I had to do it myself and it was somewhat of an effort threading it properly. I mis-threaded the first hose and had to buy an aftermarket replacement at $7. It seems that the original hose is hard to find item.

For the $2,500 we paid for it, we expected that the Ice dispenser flaw would have been discoverd and remedied before production.

FYI: unit made in Mexico.

Bosch : B22CS50SNS 22 cu. ft. Linea Series Side by Side Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Bosch : B22CS50SNS 22 cu. ft. Linea Series Side by Side Refrigerator - Stainless SteelI replaced my 14 year old dead quiet white Maytag with a stainless steel Bosch.It has a nice, sleek look, but problems and more problems.The first Bosch refrigerator was different from the showroom model in Lowes (stay away!).The showroom model did NOT have two large vent holes on the top surface of the unit, and the refrigerator I received did--covered with stainless steel tape. I was told by the deliveryperson to keep on---a real pretty site, right? That was the first thing.Second is the constant-- I repeat, constant--and penetrating alarm sound/shrill beep that goes on 15-20 seconds (not one minute) after the door is open, and there is NO way to permanently shut it off.It can drive you CRAZY.Next is when you get water from the dispenser. No matter how careful you are, it leaks and drips onto the surface of the door, then drips AFTER you take away the drinking glass. In addition, the freezer shelves fill with frost VERY quickly.However, I noticed a crack in the interior of this unit, so back it went to Lowe's, and I received the same model as a replacement. Why I just didn't select another/different brand, well, I was naive.I have a space problem and need a counter depth refrigerator.
Anyway, the second Bosch refrigerator arrived, complete with the holes on top and all its other sundry faults I mentioned above. Now, the difference is that this second unit was so noisy, so loud, that I heard the noise from my bedroom, which is quite far away fron the kitchen. The noise was that loud and constant.Let me repeat: constant.I absolutely could not and cannot take it. I could not get a restful night's sleep.Mind you, the first refrigerator was quiet.This second replacement, as loud as can be, and extremely intolerable and unrelenting. Obviously, there was something wrong with it. I called Lowe's and they are picking it up tomorrow, and that is the end of my buying a Bosch refrigerator. I will have my money refunded.I am thinking about an LG.I hear that brand is the quietest.Any suggestions?Bottom line:please stay away, far, far away, from Bosch refrigerators.The absolute worst.Oh, one more thing:I have a Dacor range and microwave.The stainless steel on Dacor appliances seems superior in shine and durability to the much more duller Bosch finish.Don't buy Bosch.Ever.
Update:I finally found a refrigerator--a KitchenAid.See my review of this.

Fisher and Paykel : E522BLXFD Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Left Hinge Flat DoorI should have known better!My old Kenmore died and I bought this noxious import because ita) fit in a 32" nook; b) I didn't want an ice maker; andc) it looked great.("Sleek European styling") I didn't know that it has a DC compressor and emits a constant whine (or bass hum, buzz or hum, depending on the cycle).At its worst it is like having a truck idling in your kitchen.But you always hear it.The noise kicks in even if you haven't opened the door in an hour, and cycles last from 30 minutes to what seems like hours.The sales rep I finally reached via the escalation dept. confirmed that it's not a question of decibels, but of frequency.As for noise complaints I found after it was too late, he reluctantly admitted that, yes, there are some people who find the noise really disturbing.Or as the repairman told me, "I know it's loud, but that's normal for this thing.That's just the way they make them these days," he said, and showed me how the high speed compressor was attached to the back of the machine with a few screws and with absolutely nothing to soften the sharp whine it makes most of the time.My Kenmore rumbled a bit but it never, ever made that awful shrill piercing relentless whine.I can hear it in my office or bathroom adjacent to the kitchen but not upstairs or in the shower.I can't even imagine what this thing would be like in an apartment!

These new compressors are a known issue, which is something I wish I'd found out before I bought this thing from Albert Lee appliances in Seattle. You'll find complaints about GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore and others.But at 17.3 cf, most of them are half the price of this sleek European mediocrity.

Not everyone is sensitive to noise.If you're oblivious to tv test patterns, dentists drills, high tension wires or a speaker when you leave the stereo on, you might think it was pricey but okay.At least it's prettier than the white molded plastic you usually see.

But if you think that hearing your fridge when you're in another room at twice the price, either buy a mid-priced fridge with the same or more features, or get a Sub Zero for $3,000, and steer clear of Fisher & Paykel products.This is by far the worst appliance I have ever owned.

Whirlpool : GD5DHAXVA 36in 25.3 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator - Monochromatic Satina Review

Whirlpool : GD5DHAXVA 36in 25.3 cu. ft. Side by Side Refrigerator - Monochromatic SatinaThis is far and away the best refrigerator I've ever owned. The stainless steel finish is excellent on the front (be warned, the stainless finish is ONLY on the front doors; the rest is a grey random wrinkle pattern glossy finish, so if it sticks out, the illusion of all-stainless will be exposed). The interior is roomy, and the 25 cubic feet are well-used. The slide-out, easy-clean, spill-resistant shelves are attractive and functional, and we are able to utilize all but a half cubic foot of freezer space. In fact, if we so chose, we could fit 22-24 cubic feet of groceries in this baby. The use of space is one of the best I've ever seen, and definitely the best of any I've owned.

The filter replacement is so intuitive, I removed the water filter cartridge before I realized what it was one day; when I pulled it out, I thought to myself "wow...that was easy!" The stainless steel front doors are remarkably easy to clean (we use Tough & Tender by EcoSense), and the handles are attractive and perfectly positioned. The fast cool and fast ice features, along with the rest of the controls on the In-Door-Ice-Plus unit are so intuitive they need no explanation. The only complaint I have has nothing to do with the fridge: our water is so hard that mineral deposits form quickly by the water dispenser.

This is a great fridge at a bargain price; we have zero complaints with the Fridge itself. Strongly recommended.

LG : LSC27910TT Refrigerator Review

LG : LSC27910TT RefrigeratorTheir reputation is holding...actually getting worse in my opinion...

Their customer service was always poor, but I just didn't realize how poor....and I'm not even going to elaborate on the dropped calls, the false promises of return calls, and the unwillingness to resolve the situation, I'll just report on the poor quality of the product...

Bought the LG LSC27910TT in July of 2008.Within 2 mo. the refrigerator was holding 62F on the coldest setting and the freezer was at -20F at the warmest setting.Basically, there was a damper that wasn't sending cold air to the fridge and it was sending the humid air into the freezer, so frost was collecting very quickly in the freezer.It took 4wks to get a newLSC27910TT from LG.They sent me a new one due to the part being backordered....which means what???Yes....this is a common issues with this model.....very common.So...it will take a minimum of 4wks for you to get a replacement fridge if you have this issue.

Now....onto the new one.They sent a new one, not refurbed, but new.And yes....this one is now broken.The ice cube flap on the door (which works via a motor) will not open when ice falls to the door....so it's jammed every time. Sent for replacement parts....turned out not repairable.Meanwhile, talking to LG is like talking to my 8wk old....I actually get more of a response from him.I wanted a new model.No dice!!!They wanted to charge me 1/2 the difference.A good try, but I'm not throwing any more of my money LG's way.

I still don't have the 3rd fridge, but I sure hope it works!

Bosch : B22CS30SNS 22 cu. ft. Linea Series Side by Side Refrigerator - Stainless Steel Review

Bosch : B22CS30SNS 22 cu. ft. Linea Series Side by Side Refrigerator - Stainless SteelThe delivery people dropped this off, and we unplugged it almost immediately due to a high pitched, headache-inducing noise when the compressor comes on (verified by visitors to our home).The service person from our vendor came the next day, agreed upon the noise and thought there was an issue with the compressor. He had our salesperson replace our refrigerator with another new one.The new one had the same problem, so we contacted Bosch directly and they sent their representatives out.They could not find an issue with it.Our vendor's service person came out again and called his Bosch representative, who noted a similar problem with a prior model and suggested replacing a board.The board was replaced, but the problem persists.Bosch and our service person had no alternative solutions and we are now returning the refrigerator altogether.

We purchased several other Bosch appliances at the same time (dishwasher, stove, washer, dryer) and found them all to be great; sturdy and quiet.We are extremely disappointed and unsure what we will end up buying.The only other Bosch refrigerators available to us are in the same series (we have 300, 500 and 800 appear to be the same except for more features) so we are afraid they will have the same problem and are looking at other manufacturers.

Fisher and Paykel : E522BRXU Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator (Right Hinge) Review

Fisher and Paykel : E522BRXU Bottom-Freezer RefrigeratorI bought my house, and found that the previous owners had done their own kitchen remodel which left a really strange size cutout for the fridge.It took me weeks to find this one which (as far as I can tell) is the only counter depth and narrow refrigerator.Anyway, it is a good fridge.No complaints.The fridge is cool looking, but the only reason that I can think someone would buy this one is for size.If you aren't restricted by size, I would look at a wider fridge.

Good things to know... There is an inline water filter (works good, easy to change), ice maker doesn't take up too much room, the fridge is counter depth (they don't advertise it as such but you can tell by the dimensions and the back is flat).The inside is small but the fridge doesn't look freakishly small.Oh, the ice maker is temperamental; it doesn't bother me but if you love ice this could be a problem.

Almost no one carries these; if you need to "see" it I found a Samsungat the big box retailers that is about the same size.If more than two people live in your house, or you like to buy big soda bottles, etc., maybe take a peek at something with similar dimensions before you buy.

Fisher and Paykel : E522BLX 31in 17.3 cu.ft. Bottom Mount Frost Free - Stainless Steel/Left Door Hinge Review

Fisher and Paykel : E522BLX 31in 17.3 cu.ft. Bottom Mount Frost Free - Stainless Steel/Left Door HingeNo, I had not heard of this brand either when I went out looking for a refrigerator to replace my 30 year old GE.

Our problem is space. Even though I certainly wouldn't mind a huge Viking or something, the reality was around 18 cu ft. I went all over the place, looked at every brand and found that most companies spent their best efforts on the bigger models.

Then, I saw a Fisher and Paykell. It was the right size, had a beautiful simple design and the use of interior space was better than others in its size range. It had the desired bottom freezer, the controls were simple and made sense, the trays for fruits and vegetables were easy to access and the glass shelves could be adjusted, removed and cleaned easily.

Style-wise, I was drawn to the clean, curved door design made of smooth metal rather than textured plastic. I needed white, but the stainless is extremely good looking. F&P also now offers models with dispensers in the door.

Note that the doors are not reversible so you have to order the left or right door version.

The glass shelves extend from side to side and slide into little slots. It is easy to slide them out for cleaning or adjustment. Surprisingly, the little plastic dams that surround almost all glass shelves these days are absent on the ends of these shelves. I strongly suggest that you get a couple of shallow plastic trays to hold meat or other drippy things. That is probably a good idea for any fridge, actually.

There is no dedicated meat compartment I suspect a special separate compartment would break up the interior and isn't really needed anyway. The wide expanse of shelves is what makes this interior special.

We took out one of the shelves to free up space for big and tall things.

There are two little lidded compartments in the door that we use for butter and cheese. They are not very big and certainly could have been designed to hold more in the same space they occupy.

The fruit and vegetable trays are lidded and separate, with little adjustable vents to control the humidity. They slide nicely, access is good and cleaning is easy.

We like the bottom freezer. It uses a system of separate drawers, rather than one big bin. This is a good high-end touch and the real drawer sliders make it nicer to use. The bins on other models seemed terribly cheap in comparison.

The lighting in the fridge section is fine. The drawer system for the freezer part precludes a lighting system, at least one that wouldn't be impossibly complex. But, the bins slide out and it is easy to see in them under normal kitchen light.

On another site, a reviewer complained that a glass shelf broke. They do look a little vulnerable as they are so long and thin. However, we stored two turkeys on one shelf with no problems. Tempered glass is very strong and I would think problems would be rare.

There were also a couple of complaints about noise. Our kitchen is like astage where every sound is projected into the adjacent living room. Still, I can hardly hear it and it is rarely even on anyway. This may be a princess and the pea situation. In our case, the old fridge was 20x noisier, so this is fine.

Operation-wise, we are very happy. The fruits and vegetables do indeed last much longer than before, the ice cream (even Ben & Jerrys) is hard and the ice doesn't stick.

One oddity is that even when the feet are adjusted to tilt the unit back a bit, the doors will not close all the way on their own. The formidable gaskets hold it back. But not to worry. The door-open alarm will not let you forget. It will probably rid your house of rodents and insects.

We are happy with this fridge. It looks great, has about as much utility as possible in its size range and works well. I am hoping it will be reliable.

ZICS360NRLH GE Monogram 36" Built-In Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - Left Hinge - Stainless Steel Review

ZICS360NRLH GE Monogram 36' Built-In Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator - Left Hinge - Stainless SteelWe remodeled our kitchen in 3/09 and installed five brand new GE Monogram appliances.Three arrived with build defects.In the last three months, we have had 14 visits, 2 incorrectly ordered parts, and innumerable phone calls.Now, I have one appliance that doesn't work at all and another that emits a lound buzzing noise. I have a stainless steel refrigerator that has scratches on both sides, but GE will not take responsiblity for fixing them.
Because the service team is so overwhelmed, at one point, they confused my phone number with another customer's phone number.When I called that number/customer, I got quite an earful about his problems.It seems that GE Preferred Service is problematic with a number of customers.So, if you are considering buying GE Monogram, be concerned about the quality of the product that you are buying.
