Worst refrigerator I ever owned--a lemon

Your first problem is you said GE is a reputable company.. THEY are not! They are the largest exporter of US jobs and their products perform poorly. I could go on about GE a once great company gone bad.. Do your homework and do NOT BY GE! That is the only way to force the company to build better products or go out of business..Unless they get a bailout...OOPS I think they already recieved a couple BILLION and paid no taxes last year! No wonder they don't have to build a good product..Did I forget the pollution in the Hudson river they were ordered to clean up years ago and still have not..

I won't say I can solve your problem short of coming around and loading your POS fridge in to the back of my truck and running by the scrap metal yard. Keep contacting GE and the retailer who sold it to you about your problems. Hopefully one or the other will get sick of hearing from you and give you a replacement. A 20 cubic foot over/under fridge with ice-maker can be had for $450 US, which should last you around 10 years or so, which is pretty much typical for white goods. I have had pretty good luck with Frigidaire and Hotpoint so far. I still wish I hadn't put the 40 year old Wizard Imperial 14 cubic foot bottom mounted freezer that I bought about 23 years ago out at the curb. Given the chance, it would probably still be working today, as ugly and inefficient as it was.
