    Stopped working exactly after one year, used only in the summer and summer here is only couple of months. BESTBUY doesn’t want to help with anymore. They keep pushing to buy their service plan.

    Purchased on 4/1/21. By 8/20/21 it has stopped working. It drop out of my network and couldn’t turn it on. There was power to the unit. Of course it happened right after the 90-day window so I had to call GE directly. That took almost 2 weeks before I could get to someone. Instead of sending me a replacement, how GE works, I was given a “Goodwill Certificate” in the amount I paid for the product less tax. I now have to go buy that product or equivalent with my own money before GE sends me reimbursement within 6-8 weeks. It’s bad enough the brand new window unit croaked in the middle of a heatwave, why putting all the responsibilities back on the consumer?

      Hi there, we appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us. We're so sorry to see your air conditioner quit working properly after just 4 months. This is never the expectation we have for our consumers so we can imagine how upsetting this was. With that said, we're pleased to know you've been in touch with us and that we're helping you purchase a new unit. In regard to what you said about putting responsibility on the consumer, we'll be sure to share that comment with our team for further review. We're glad you could bring this to our attention and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances

    Ok on cooling the room but very touchy electronically. Tried to get the red filter light to stop blinking and end up causing an electrical glitch that cause the unit to stop working.
