GE notes by appliance
Refrigerators. GE side by side and french door models rely on an inlet valve and a water filter system. A water filter that is not seated or an old filter housing is a frequent leak source. Ice that clumps or stops often needs a new fill tube heater or an ice maker module.
Ovens and ranges. GE ranges are common in Philadelphia homes. Bake elements and igniters are quick repairs. Self-clean cycles can blow the thermal fuse or damage the control, so tell us if the oven failed right after cleaning.
Dishwashers. Cleaning the filter and checking the disposal knockout plug solve some drain calls. Persistent standing water points to the pump or check valve.
Profile and Cafe. Premium lines have more electronics and larger boards. We quote the board price and compare it to the age of the appliance.
