    Thank you so much for sharing your terrible experience with this brand. I was about to buy one and after your video I gave up! They should think about the power of a mad consumer! By the way, your kitchen looks amazing ; )

      I wish I'd seen this before I bought an entire suit of cafe appliances. The fridge, microwave and dishwasher all work fine. The 6 burner gas range...I'm on my second one in a month.

    I bought the whole suite when I built my dream home 2 yrs back. The appliances are the matte white with brass handles in a navy blue kitchen. Just beautiful! Now to the complaints. It takes 30 minutes to preheat either oven. After 5 minutes the timer will ding and say it's at 350, but my oven thermometer will read less than 200. The glass cook top works fine. The fridge freezerburns anything not double wrapped within 2 weeks. BUT, the dishwasher is sooo quiet and does a great job of cleaning.
    I hope you're happier with the jenaire. My daughter loves her LG appliances.

    iI have the same GE Cafe stove and from first day I owned it the oven when on the Convection Bake or Roast cycles does not maintain the set temperature It will sometimes be a drop of 100 - 150 degrees. I had many service calls and the stove was even replaced and it still is the same problem with the replacement . GE is useless. In the Bake cycle it works fine

    The same thing happened to me. After much research we found that the maker of the GE Cafe, (GE doesn't make them, they hire another company to make them)was a new company that did an awful job. Anyway GE fired them and went back to the old company, so when GE replaced my oven with a new Cafe model made by the old company it has made all the difference. My new GE Cafe range is as great as my old one was terrible

    Almost got me... im passing on this one too. I have a whirlpool and the stove and refrigerator are pure garbage. The refrigerator has cracks all on the sides and the tracks to hold the salad door has cracked off. The glass from the stove (oven part) keeps falling out. Lowes and home depot sell subpar items. They both are barely 2 years old.

    Hope your new range was everything you dreamed of.... you are 100% correct about GE and their service, including Lowes.... Lowes did come through for me in the end. I swore I would never own another GE product.... We moved across the country and bought a new home - the package appliances were GE - High end....should have been a deal breaker... fast forward 2 yrs later - they are living up to their reputation of JUNK....ovens don't work - refrigerator doors are warping (replaced once already), range top has troubles, . Currently planning to build our new home - there won't be a GE product in it!!

    I bought my Samsung stove for Thanks giving also and after almost 6 hours of cooking it burnt the outside and the inside was raw. We kept checking and checking the turkey and it was so raw from the inside we had to cook it for so long and the middle was still not cooked. They told me the same thing that I didn't know how to cook with this stove. I bought mine from Conns and they haven replaced it. Im going on a year this month.

    6 years into it, same issue for this GE Cafe stove (Canadian version looks the same, slightly different model number CBC980ST4SS). "Its not baking" states my better half. Turn on Bake and the bake element goes red. But cakes fail and meats are not cooked underneath, or overdone on top and take much longer. Bake element tests fine and heats up initially. Manual states that the oven control swaps between bake and broil elements during bake cycles and these relays are interlocked so they cannot be on at the same time. Suspect an issue with the bake relay. New control board WB27M02959 doesn't seem available anymore, but I can also try to swap the relay (I'm an electrical technologist and handy with a soldering iron). But there are other issues. From day one, leveling the cook top leaves the baking grill unlevel by 1/4"! If I level for the oven, then the cooktop is not level. We live with that, just can't overfill the lasagna dish, or similar. We have also had the stove shut down due to overheating when entertaining lots of people (like 30), where we use this stove and another heavily. The gentle lady in this video states it... the concept and functions of this stove are attractive, but it just isn't built to last. Lastly, the glass cooktop isn't available anymore ... 6 years after purchase, there is no direct replacement if it were to break. Family of 5... we certainly don't just look at it! Yeah.. yeah... should have bought a Wolf or semi-industrial unit of some sort. Trouble is, my Samsung fridge is having issues... 2014 furnace just replaced the $1000 blower motor (warranty... yes!)... does anything out there last these days?

    I just bought a new GE gas stainless slide-in range . I bought GE because I have never had any trouble with any of my GE kitchen products . The only reason I replaced my old Ge range was because it was white and I wanted the stainless but my old stove was a perfectly fine working range and looked brand new . I guess I will go buy a turkey and roast it in this oven see if it comes out as Fabulous as my old range . You should have gone for a gas range as that is what the professional Chefs prefer . I wish you the very best with your new range . I now pray that I will not have any problem with my new 2 week old GE range .

  • @suzyq_lasvegas4536

    I bought a stove from sears and I couldn’t afford the GE cafe at the time. The sears tech ended up screwing up the gas valve. It was past two years so Sear reimbursed the full retail of the range event though I bought it on sale. I went and bought me my GE Cafe dual fuel $3400 range and absolutely loved it. Sorry you bought a lemon at Lowe’s. I also had a friend who bought a LEMON LG refrigerator there. I think if you bought it at Sears you would’ve had better luck with them standing behind you. I’ll be buying another GE Cafe when the Range in our new home dies, it’s a Frigidaire Professional and it’s Okay. By the way, how’s the Jennair doing?

    That HAS to be the biggest crime ever: Keeping mama from cooking Thanksgiving dinner. One just doesn’t do that! Having to leave her expensive kitchen to cook elsewhere? Whatever happened to customer service? Lowe’s sucks where I live, too. Home Depot’s not great, but they’re much better than those Lowe-lifes at Lowe’s. I just bought my dad a new washer/dryer set through Sears. They were very good with installs, and service calls immediately after.

  • @gloriadeipatre
    @gloriadeipatre 3 роки тому +1

    i have a GE cafe double oven. The bottom is electronic the top is manual. Electronic board has gone bad twice. I have had trouble with the top oven as well. My last service call was almost 1100.00. The top oven scorches the bottom while the top is barely cooked. The bottom oven cooked uneven as well unless you cook on convection bake, which works really well.
    I have a very expensive GE side by side refrigerator that ices up the fan preventing the refrigerator from circulating. I had to install a line heater to remedy that problem. I never minded spending money for quality, but GE is like most farmed out manufacturers that throw the big name reputation from yesteryear onto products made in cheap labor countries and still want the long dollar.
    I could have saved money on a cheaper name and probably been less frustrated. Not again! GE, you lost me!

I checked this stove on consumer reports and it rated 87 on the dependability factor. My sister loves GE and talked me into going with GE. High star reviews and glowing reports cause me to think that you got a lemon and believe me all brands have them. I am disappointed that GE did not replace the stove. I understand your frustration and am a senior citizen too so get what you are saying about not being taken seriously. Kitchen is lovely. I am wondering how you like your new JenAir stove?

    When I cook turkeys I put them in tied bag which helps keep the moisture in and probably helps keep the heat in the container and cooks faster. Maybe would than help? But would it Bake. We made cookies today on a black tray and regular metal ones. The black one cooks hotter so it burns the bottom of the cookies even though 4 other batches of cookies did not get burnt. So even colors of insides could effect the heat! We did our Dream kitchen too. And so far GE is in there and we hope that the ones we did get keep functioning good enough and yes they are pricey for that "result". But JennAire is owned by Whirlpool not GE for that person who thought that. Whirlpool owns many brands. GE is being purchased by an Asian company that will be interesting. Is Trump listening.

    I don't remember the brand but in 2008, we refurbished out kitchen. The new oven range didn't work. We complained to the store where we purchased it and they sent guys out who acknowledged it didn't work and they replaced parts but still no luck. We went through Thanksgiving with no oven. Christmas was coming. So, what I did was I went to the store on a busy Saturday morning and I found the owner. In the middle of his busy store, I had a nice scream at him so EVERYONE in the store could hear that he had a very dissatisfied customer and that nobody should trust that store. Amazingly so, we had a new range in our kitchen pretty darn fast after that. You need to hurt them in their pocketbook by causing their sales to reduce.
