Thank God for warranties. About 4 years ago I bought a G E side by side
refrigerator. About 6 to 9 months after the purchase my ice maker went on
the blink. So the technician came to the house and fixed it, and while he
was here He suggested that I buy the 5 year extended warranty which I did.
Bounce forward about 3 years, which was a couple months ago, Ice maker went
on the blink again, so they replaced it. Last week, I open the freezer to
get something out and noticed it wasn't as frozen as it should be, didn't
think much of it at the time thinking my wife must have left the door open a
bit. Later, tried to dispense some water from the refrigerator and that
wouldn't work. Push the button for Ice, that worked, so I was perplexed.
Right then, I say to me self, time to call G E again. So G E was scheduled
to come out the next morning. Got up the next morning and the refrigerator
was working fine. When the tech got here I explained to him what had
occurred over the past day. He pulled the refrigerator out from the wall,
unscrewed a panel, went to the service truck, came back with a PC board, put
it in and everything is working fine again. So, 2 Ice makers later, and a
new computer board, I'd say it was worth paying for the extended warranty.
