GE quality appliances -- NOT

We really are not all that hard on our appliances, but somehow our GE Profile refrigerator of just 30 months has acquired a number of broken and dented parts.



Dented top on the freezer door. We went away on vacation and came back to the dent. There were house sitters and pet feeders. Nobody knows how it happened, but it's impossible to repair.


The pull out wire tray in the freezer cracked.


Clear plastic panel in the door cracked. Repaired with clear packing tape. Very classy.


The most annoying of all, the front of the guide for the left side vegetable crisper drawer broke off. This causes the drawer to flop around, fall out of the guides entirely, and come all the way out without a stop.


This unit is just 30 months old, and I swear we are not guilty of appliance abuse. I would have thought for a "Profile" appliance, an upscale line, that they would have built it to be more durable than a "normal" cheap-o model, but apparently not.

And I was glad I bought a service contract because in that 30 months we've had the ice maker replaced, and the computer board that controls the fan replaced.

I have contacted GE appliances to see if they have any comments or can help me get some of these "cosmetic" items fixed or repaired.
