GE Appliances Appliance Repair in Rockford, IL

Updated

Short answer

GE Appliances says its manufacturer's warranty is typically one year, starting on the date of purchase; without proof of purchase, the manufacture date in the serial number is used (GE Appliances). GE and GE Profile model numbers always begin and end with a letter. On ovens, F2 means the temperature passed a preset limit and F3 or F4 usually means the oven sensor needs replacing.

Warranty

What GE Appliances's warranty covers

GE Appliances products come with an initial manufacturer's warranty that is typically one year, and some appliances add coverage on specific parts beyond the first year; the owner's manual for your model has the details. Coverage starts on the purchase date. A sales invoice, a builder's letter or proof of occupancy establishes that date; without one, GE uses the manufacturing date shown in the serial number (GE Appliances).

Model number

Where to find the model and serial number

Every GE appliance has a rating plate with the model and serial number and electrical data, and its location varies by appliance type. GE and GE Profile model numbers always begin and end with a letter, for example JGB700SEJSS. Range model numbers will not end in a number preceded by a P, like 317b6641p001, which is a part number on a caution label. Some newer tags carry a QR code you can scan with a phone. On ranges with front controls, the tag may be inside the frame under the control panel (GE Appliances, GE range finder).

Common questions

GE Appliances repair questions

How long is the GE Appliances warranty?

Typically one year from the date of purchase, according to GE Appliances. Some appliances add coverage on specific parts after that; the owner's manual has the details.

What does F2 mean on a GE oven?

GE says F2 or F20 means the oven temperature has exceeded a preset threshold for an unknown reason. Turn it off, let it cool, and call for service if it returns.

How do I know I have the right GE model number?

GE and GE Profile model numbers always begin and end with a letter. A number ending in a digit after a P, like 317b6641p001, is a part number, not the model.
