No Longer Sold at Lowe's (08.07.2020)
the above information was from Lowe's Website, my unit was purchased there.
Please comment below if you have had this issue or know how to go about repairing my GE Appliance... I have settled the replacement with GE and I am somewhat satisfied that it will be replaced but feel it is wasteful that I am having a hard time finding a way to replace what I believe is an electrical or computer error. die to costs of shipping, etc... they will pay retail price of a replacement unit. I am left with the old unit to recycle, donate, repair, burn, store, take to a dump.... but I want to be responsible, I don't want to be wasteful...*** (8/7/2020 description update)
appliance worked fine night before. had a power outage or surge. when power was restored, reset house breakers and ac started up but shut off seconds later and continues to repeat this process when plugs in. the surge protector did not trip on the ac, but I did reset that just in case. when operating, you can hold the power button to turn it on and off but continues to have a red light and beeps continuously. my assumption is there is a blown fuse or sensor or circuit and this should be an easy fix...
currently playing the call tag game with GE Appliance at 1800 626 2000
no one seems to be able to help, all representatives have transfered me and provided me with the same phone numbers....

So mine went out with the same issue this weekend. Unfortunately it went out 2 1/2 months too late, that's when the warranty went out. Called GE to see if I could get one of the Good Will Certificates, was told that since my warranty was out they could only offer me $100. 00. I told them to forget it, I'd chalk it up to a lesson learned and never purchase another GE product again. Going to go on the website and send them an email and let them know what I think of their business practices and go find another brand of AC.

Call again (if you have patience) and tell them it's under a year old. Say you are just under the threshold.... Or if you are interested in DIY fix only need a little electrical tape and some free time. The issue is the board on the front control panel.... Can think of interest in DIY fix

This GE model air conditioner has a lot of issue, mostly the circuitry is finicky. I have one that has the exact problem as this video. Any surge in the power source can easily damage the board so once that happens your only option is a new board. Since this is the latest model replacement part are not yet available. The warranty is one year from the date of purchased, you are screwed if warranty expired.

Was able to replace my old destroyed unit with a new alternate version, still a GE product. waiting to receive it, as I could only order it online, because all stores that hold GE products in my area were out of stock for the season... once my new unit arrives I can send a copy of the receipt in my Goodwill certificate back for a refund.

@marilynnmonroe9638 3 года назад

Mine just started doing the same shit this morning. I'm so irritated. I can't find my damn receipt, I bought it about a year ago, and I looked through my email and everything for a receipt. Does anyone know if I can possibly get a refund if I don't have it? This is highly frustrating, considering I paid over $300 for this piece of junk. Any input would be extremely helpful! Also, I know I should have kept better track of my receipt and warranty information. Lesson learned the hard way if I can't get a refund. I'll never be buying another GE product again. Ridiculous.

@cassieg7497 3 года назад

i called ge , they need the original reciept. i went to lowes for a copy... once u buy a new one and prove to them u paid for another they will send a refund.... that takes 6 to 8 weeks. compete bs. ive had no ac in this heat wave. 😫 i bought mines last August so mad

@marilynnmonroe9638 3 года назад

Thats so crazy. I actually contacted them the other day and I am able to get a refund, but I'm almost positive I HAVE to buy another GE with the check they give me. Is this accurate? I asked them to clarify, but haven't gotten a response yet. I really don't wanna have to buy another one of these things.
