I purchased a brand new GE washer just 3 weeks ago, and it already stopped working (displaying "LID" across the screen. Quality Appliance Service sent a technician four day later, who diagnosed both the lid lock and the control board as needing replaced. He said it would take another 14 days to get parts from China... unless I paid extra to expedite them, despite this being a warranty issue. That felt incredibly shady.
I had a hard time believing GE parts couldn't be sourced in the US, and sure enough, a GE representative confirmed there are 4 warehouses in the US that stock GE parts. I called another company for a second opinion, and they arrived within two days, with GE parts in hand. They also said it's extremely rare for both the lid lock and control board to fail simultaneously.
I feel Quality Appliance Service has been dishonest and possibly unethical in their dealings with me and the warranty company. Their phone manner was also rude, which confirmed my gut feeling to seek a second opinion, thankfully. read more
