GE Appliance Repair & Warranty

With a storied history dating back to the 19th century, General Electric has been a household name for generations. Given their longevity and reputation for producing reliable, efficient products, GE appliances are common fixtures in homes across America.

If you’re one of the millions who rely on a GE appliance to maintain a comfortable standard of living, it’s important to understand the extent of your GE warranty coverage and options for extended coverage. This can save you a significant amount of money, time, and aggravation if your machine suddenly stops functioning as it should.

GE Appliance Warranty Repair Coverage

With a product line as expansive as GE’s, it’s no surprise that the precise terms of their appliance warranties are not one-size-fits-all. It’s always best to consult your appliance’s owner’s manual or contact GE’s customer service line for model-specific information. That said, here is some general information to help you get a handle on the probable extent of GE coverage.

GE provides a one-year manufacturer’s warranty for most products. These include:

• Refrigerators
• Freezers
• Electric and gas ranges
• Cooktops and hoods
• Built-in ovens
• Dishwashers
• Wine chillers
• Garbage disposals and compactors
• Washing machines and dryers

GE’s warranty will cover all costs associated with repairing or replacing any defective product or part within that window. After the first year, GE may provide additional coverage for specific product components. 

 

Example of Coverage on a GE Warranty

To illustrate how a GE warranty covers repairs, here’s a common example of how it works. A built-in GE refrigerator will have a one-year warranty that covers the entire product, as described above. For an additional four years, GE may cover parts and labor necessary to repair the refrigerating sealed system only. 

This means GE would replace the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and connected tubing, but not necessarily other components, such as electrical circuitry.

What a GE Manufacturer’s Warranty Doesn’t Cover

GE’s warranty will cover only problems that arise from defective materials or workmanship. GE will not cover damage that arises from misuse, abuse, or improper installation. It will not cover products that have been harmed by electrical surges, accidents, fire, flood, or another disaster. 

Using a GE appliance in a commercial setting will void the manufacturer’s warranty, as will modifying the appliance after purchase. Also, the GE warranty does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, which is the case with most manufacturer warranties.

Finally, it’s important to note that GE’s warranty covers only damage that impairs the appliance’s performance. The company will not cover cosmetic damage, such as dents or scratches.

GE Appliance Extended Warranty Coverage

So, how can you maintain your GE appliances after the manufacturer’s warranties have expired?

Many companies provide their own extended warranty coverage, but GE does not — at least not anymore. Since the early 2000s, the absence of a GE extended warranty program has required owners of GE appliances to pursue extended service plans through third-party companies.

This actually presents a potential opportunity. Liberty Home Guard can provide extended coverage for one or more GE appliances. Even if your fridge or washing machine breaks down from general wear and tear, we’ll have you covered. And you can be sure that your equipment will be repaired by a qualified, insured tech.

You can also bundle coverage for your GE appliances with coverage for other appliances and systems in your home. Maybe you have a GE oven, but a Samsung fridge and Whirlpool dishwasher. With Liberty Home Guard, that’s no problem. All brands are covered.
