    Bought this May 2020. Kept it inside for the winter, now May 2022 it is dead and GE states I can spend $110 plus an hourly fee and parts for them to look at it. Throwing it away and buying non GE.

      Hello Elflaco - We are terribly sorry to hear about your trouble staying cool, despite two of these wonderful air conditioners. It would be our pleasure to help with troubleshooting or recommendations for the proper unit(s) for you. Typically, a 12,000 BTU unit such as this is sufficient for a 500 +/- sq ft room. Try to keep them centrally located and make sure the windows are well sealed. Please let us know if you have any questions. - JB GE_Appliances

    This is the 3rd GE window ac in a year. Two wouldn’t operate and the third completely stopped working and would not come on. The electronics have went bad in all three. I would have stopped at the first one but it was under warranty. Not easy to change out big AC units.
