I just wanted to chime in on GE appliances in general: they're garbage.
I took over my fathers home about 6 years ago. He had mismatched appliances with a new GE stove and older everything else.
I went ahead an got the rest of the matching appliances (GE Slate). It's not top nor bottom of the line. All are "assembled in USA" but definitely do not hold up to the old GE reputation.
So far, the stove is the only decent thing. My fridge has quirks. I did research on my fridge model and pulled up tons of negative reviews and thank goodness (knock on wood), I haven't had any problems that people mention. Some people mention the inside plastics cracking. The circulation fan shroud in the freezer or fan itself has moved to the point they strike each other at some point. You'll suddenly hear the sounds of a fan hitting plastic every once in a while. Compressor is the loudest I've ever heard in any fridge. The water filter usage is obviously on a timer. I barely use the water line for water or ice yet after a couple months the fridge says I have to change it.
OTR microwave is OK. There's some weird sensor that's flipping out whenever I use the beverage heat function. Some sort of water vapor or steam sensor. It'll shut off mid cycle and alarm for 10 seconds so I just use the quick heat function instead that likely bypasses the use of that sensor.
Dishwasher is straight garbage. Had to replace $300 worth of electronic boards in a dishwasher that was only $600 to begin with. Now it needs a new $150 pump. I believe it's the circulation pump. Shrieks when it runs then dishes come out barely clean (would barely clean even when new). I had a cheap Fridgidaire dishwasher that would run circles around this GE one. Before I replaced the electronic boards in the dishwasher, whatever cycle I selected for a finite amount of time, I'd come back and the cycle time was 10-30 minutes longer than what I selected.
I'd like to eventually get a new washer and dryer and have Speed Queen in my sights.
